THQ’s recently premiered Metro: Last Light, the sequel to the cult FPS hit: Metro 2033. To go with its premiere, the company also released a promotional short film that acts as a prologue to the upcoming Metro: Last Light (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

20 years later, instead of joining forces to rebuild and survive, the station-cities of the remaining civilization engage in a brutal struggle to control a doomsday device that could potentially wipe out the human race if it ended up in the wrong hands.

Forgotten Treasures – Mighty Final Fight
One of my favourite beat-em-up games on the original Famicom (NES in North America), Mighty Final Fight was perhaps one of the hardest games to find. Not only because it’s a rare 8-bit spin-off of the arcade classic Final Fight, but because it’s one of the select few beat-em-up’s in the 8-bit era that featured a leveling system that was mostly seen in RPG’s at the time.

Max Payne 3 Review
The third game in the Max Payne franchise, Rockstar Games’ Max Payne 3 is a lengthy, adrenaline-filled, interactive ride that acts as an effective final sendoff for the unlucky, titular hero.
Much like Die Hard’s John McClane, Max Payne has a dirty habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The forever-downtrodden protagonist continues his noir adventure, his tale of bloody, bullet-filled vengeance that moves from the snow-covered streets of New York to the crime-ridden favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Taking place a few years after the events of Max Payne 2, Max looks much older than his actual age. The once decorated cop is reduced to a common gun-for-hire who’s hopped up on booze and painkillers. A shadow of his former self. Read the rest of this entry
The Hard Road of The Last Guardian
2008/2009 – January, a job posting on Sony’s website hints that Team Ico – the revered developers behind Ico and Shadow of the Colossus – is working a new game. The project is covertly referred to as Project Trico, suggesting a strong spiritual link to Ico. Fan interest is peaked.
2009 – E3 2009. Project Trico is revealed to be The Last Guardian. Stills and an epic pre-rendered teaser (which uses music from the Coen Bros’ super excellent gangster epic Miller’s Crossing) are released. Everything about the game suggests something as inspired as Team Ico’s previous insta-classics. A 2010 release date seems likely. Fans the world over spontaneously lose bladder control.
2010 – The Last Guardian is curiously absent from the line-up at E3 2010. Read the rest of this entry
