| Posted: 06 Jun 2012 03:42 AM PDT Careful, bitches. After my Zumba-ing and sweating like a crazed pig, I was on an appointment to go and see Double Dragon: Neon. I haven't had myself a good flashback in a while, so having the chance to experience a notable name from the resurgence of gaming in the last 1980s makes me tingle. DD Neon is not to be confused with a remake, but a re-imagining of the series. The classic setup—girlfriend is socked in the gut and taken over a jerk's shoulder—and start are there, complete with roaming up and down the street and assaulting S&M-ready dominatrixes, but the rest is a bit of this and that from previous entries to create something new from something old. While it's one of the older breed of the "roaming brawler" genre and as heavy on story as any others have been, DD feels solid and nostalgic while bringing players together this time around. Classic moves like jumping spin kicks and ground-and-pound tactics are there, but what's interesting are the minor "bro-tastic" ways to balance out games with friends. One example is that if one player's health starts to get too low, the two players can high-five each other, and if that's successful, the average of their health is used to even out the playing field. If one player decides to be a total butt-head, they can "go low" and simply take some of the other player's remaining health. But if both players go low at the same time, they both lose a bit of health. It's the Double Dragon equivalent of what's known as the DBAD rule: Don't Be A Dick. Double ... |

| The First Five Things You Notice About Halo 4 Multiplayer Posted: 06 Jun 2012 12:38 AM PDT E3 2012: From custom loadouts to lighting effects, we examine the most immediately noticeable changes to Halo 4 multiplayer.
While Microsoft kicked off its E3 2012 press conference with a look at Halo 4's single-player campaign, Master Chief's latest saga isn't the only part of Halo 4 on display at the show this year. Tonight, we got a chance to take a quick spin through a bit of Halo 4's competitive multiplayer mode. We'll save the real nuts-and-bolts discussion for a later date, but in the meantime let's take talk about the five things we noticed right away about 343's handiwork: 
Break Out Your SunglassesDepending on which map you play, the first thing you'll probably notice about Halo 4 is a much more dramatic use of lighting. The series has always been fond of painting dramatic skies above players' heads, but in Halo 4 it feels like those skies are reaching down and grabbing you. This effect was especially dramatic on the Forerunner-themed map we played that mixed austere architecture with extensive god rays bathing the play field in a golden light. It almost had a heavenly look to it--if heaven was populated by Spartans trying to kill one another.
Finding Your Own StyleOne of the ways Halo 4 deviates most from previous games is through the use of customized loadouts. What this does to the overall balance and its effect on the gap between new players and veterans is the subject for a later discussion, but one thing we can definitely say right now is that they really do let you carve out your own unique playing style on the battlefield. Say you're a defensive player who prefers to avoid risk. You can equip the "Mobility" support upgrade that grants you infinite sprinting, allowing you to high-tail it to safety whenever things get too hot for your liking. Or if you like to get inside the enemy's head, you can turn on the "Promethean Vision" armor ability that lets you temporarily see players through walls, then watch as they react in horror when you keep banking grenades around blind corners and into their laps.
The Warthog Has Been (Somewhat) TamedHop into the driving seat of the Warthog and you might notice that Halo's signature method of wild joyriding has become a little more, dare we say it, reliable. It's a subtle difference compared to previous games, but it did seem like the Warthog in Halo 4 feels less floaty and squirrely. It's not the sort of change that everyone is going to pick up on, but it did feel like the Warthog has had some modest tuning upgrades applied to it in the ol' UNSC auto garage.
The Animated Art of DyingHalo 4's lighting isn't the only visual change you'll notice when you first pick up a controller and jump into a fight between red and blue. The character animations are now much more elaborate and nuanced. When the camera pulls back to show you dying, you no longer just sort of fall to the ground as a lifeless husk of your former self; instead, you'll often see yourself stumble, reach out in desperation, and shuffle this mortal coil in dramatic fashion. Those death animations aren't terribly longer than the old ones, and you can still skip them to respawn right away, but they definitely add a bit more grim weight to the act of seeing your character die. 
Your Guns Are More ReliableFolks who complained about weapon bloom in Halo: Reach are probably going to be happy with what 343 has done to the armory in Halo 4. In the time we spent playing multiplayer, gunfire seemed much more accurate in extended bursts. This was especially the case with the single-shot DMR. When engaging an enemy from mid to long range, we were able to fire off a quick succession of four or five rounds without feeling like our fifth bullet had taken a detour to Antarctica and back. The result is a game that moves a little more quickly, with kills coming more fast and often. Not a dramatic difference, but one that veteran Reach players will probably pick up on.

| Will Tomb Raider Venture Off the Beaten Path? Posted: 05 Jun 2012 11:13 PM PDT E3 2012: A behind-closed-doors demo sheds just enough light on Tomb Raider to leave us wanting to know even more.
We know that the upcoming Square Enix reboot of Tomb Raider serves as a kind of origin story for Lara Croft, showing the experience that turned her into the confident and capable adventurer and raider of tombs we're all familiar with. We know that it has a grimmer tone than earlier entries in the series; Lara gets bruised and bloodied, and commits some shocking (but, under the circumstances, necessary) acts to survive. But there's still so much we don't know about the game. The term "dynamic exploration" was mentioned at an E3 press conference, but what does that really mean? We've seen some linear action sequences; how much of the game will consist of this sort of thing? How much freedom to explore will you really have? Will Tomb Raider play like an Uncharted game with a darker tone, or will it have elements that give it an identity of its own?  Today, we saw a behind-closed-doors, non-playable demo that gave us a tantalizing glimpse at the potential answers to some of these questions, but kept much under wraps. Picking up where last year's E3 demo ended, it initially saw Lara moving along narrow ledges and running down narrow paths. The gameplay clearly didn't offer much freedom at this stage, but it gave us an opportunity to take in the impressive natural beauty of Lara's surroundings, as well as her believable animations and the shifting camera angles that emphasized the danger she was in--when crossing a log that bridged a chasm, for instance, the camera looked down on Lara and the yawning abyss below. At one point, Lara had to climb the wreckage of a crashed plane, and here, the Uncharted influence seemed apparent; the plane began to slide down as she climbed, creating a sense of urgency as she scrambled up before the plane fell down. Soon, Lara acquired a bow from a corpse, and a bit later, she commented to herself about how hungry she was. As it so happened, a deer was nearby; the player used the bow to fell the creature, and as Lara approached it, she was clearly distraught at having to take the animal's life by hand for her sustenance. This left us wondering if you'll actually need to be aware of things like Lara's hunger and thirst throughout the game and manage them by hunting animals and finding supplies of water, or if this was just a story element. It was clear that various types of animals inhabit parts of the island, and we hope that the island's ecosystem is something you need to rely on throughout the game.  Lara then made her way to a camp, and here, the element of character progression was introduced. Using acquired survival points (which appear to be the game's version of experience points), the player purchased an upgrade that allowed Lara to recover more of her own fired arrows from enemies and animals. Later in the demo, salvage that Lara had collected around the island was used to upgrade a tool, enabling her to use it to open a door she previously couldn't. This glimpse of character progression was promising, but left us wondering just how deep this element runs. How many types of upgrades are there? How much of an impact do they have on the experience? Sadly, these questions went unanswered. Also unclear was just how much exploration the game will offer. It appeared at times as if there was room to explore off of the narrow path that the player followed during the demo, but we have no way of knowing how far the terrain stretches in either direction and what sorts of things you might find if you do go exploring. Rather than taking the opportunity to explore, the demo showcased the kind of fierce action Tomb Raider will offer: at one point, Lara stabbed a wolf through the mouth with an arrow, and at the end of the demo, after an intense struggle with an island inhabitant for the control of a gun, Lara shot him in the head, with grisly results.  But it wasn't this shocking moment of violence that made the biggest impression on us. It was the glimpses we caught of the upgrade system and the potential hint of a need to manage Lara's survival by hunting. Elements like this could help Tomb Raider stand out from the crowd; it's frustrating, then, that so little of what we've seen sheds light on these aspects of the game, focusing instead on the combat and on linear, Uncharted-style platforming sequences. Linear sequences from time to time can ratchet up tension, but we hope they're not what this game is founded on. Lara is an explorer; we're still waiting to discover whether or not the island is a worthy birthplace for her talents.

| SimCity: The Renovations Continue Posted: 05 Jun 2012 11:13 PM PDT E3 2012: We get a few updates on the latest SimCity and see how the developers are giving players a bit more direction than in the past.
There were a few quick updates from the SimCity presentation at this year"s E3. The focus was multiplayer, and we got a few more examples of how it will work. In brief, the multiplayer in SimCity is asynchronous--meaning players don"t have to be online at once to interact. This is because, based on what we saw, most of the interactions with other players are passive. These include exchanging resources for money, or having excess crime spill over into neighboring cities. When you sign out, your city will not advance in any way, but any resources you"re offering (or money you"re receiving) will persist even if you"re offline.  Players can also work together on collaborative projects. In the demo we saw, all three players were working together to complete a massive, international airport. For one player, whose city focused on tourism, the new airport would bring in a fresh batch of travelers ready to pour extra cash into his city. Another player, whose city focused on production, would now be able to export more goods (and get more money). Such a massive project could be attempted solo, if you"re playing single-player, but would take much, much longer to complete. Playing with others has certain advantages.  As seen in the previous demo, the developers made a big deal of dressing up data. Mundane tasks, such as managing electricity or establishing light rail transport, are being dressed up with bright, engaging overlays. One example was using building graffiti to represent areas with high crime rates. High crime rates could lead to crazy arsonists or, as we saw, bank robbers. With a greater focus on player direction through missions (and their rewards), SimCity is looking to bring back the classic look with a modern touch. The game will be released on the PC in February of next year.

| Crysis 3 doesn't reinvent the wheel, nor will it probably need to. Posted: 05 Jun 2012 10:40 PM PDT E3 2012: Kurtis reflects on his time playing the Crysis 3 demo. It may be more of the same, but that's not a problem when the same is great.
Crysis 3 made an explosive appearance at EA's conference yesterday. What was shown left many with lingering questions. Where are we - a city, a facility, or a jungle? Who will we play as? Most importantly, what cool gear and gadgets will players get their mitts on? Today we were able to stop by EA's booth and get a hands on demo of Crysis 3.
 The demo lasted around twenty minutes in length and took place about half an hour into the main storyline. The most surprising thing is that you take the role of Prophet, alive and well 20 years after his death in Crysis 2. How he survived eating a bullet was not explained. What is known is that the war with the Ceph left New York a ravaged wasteland. Cell in turn has swooped in and placed a dome shaped barrier around the city, which has produced a tropical jungle within the urban environment. Our hero Prophet has witnessed a vision where the Ceph have conquered the world, yet there is still time to prevent such a futured. There were no aliens during the demo, so all enemies were armed human soldiers. The playable demo featured some gameplay that wasn't present during the press conference showing. Shortly before reaching the Cell controlled damn, Prophet found himself outnumbered by Cell troops, but had a height advantage and the element of surprise on his side. We opted for stealth first, but quickly switched to brutal mid range fighting with the use of armor and a trusty side arm. The amount of Cell soldiers was too great, and eventually we sneaked into the main compound. After making our way past both a turret and hacked door, we arrived at the previously seen demo. Most of the scenario played out the same, but our preference for stealth caused us to bypass the enemy choppers completely.
The hands on demo of Crysis 3 includes everything shown at EA's press conference. From the short preview, one couldn't say Crysis 3 does much to improve on the superb gameplay and design of its predecessor. It's more of the same, but that familiarity is comforting. There are at least some new weapons and tech to make use of. First, the most prominent comes from the highly promoted compound bow. The standard arrows are powerful and felled an enemy with two or three shots to the body (and of course a single hit to the head); one may even collect fired arrows off a Cell agent's corpse, allowing seemingly endless ammo to compulsive hoarders. There were also several other arrowheads, tough most of them will detonate on impact. These included electric arrows that sent shocking pulses when shot at puddles and bodies of water. Pressurized arrows would knockback and damage enemies with a large radius of expelled air. Last was a classic explosive arrow that ignited close range targets. In most situations the standard arrows were the most practical option.
 Another new improvement was hacking via the visor. Many doors were locked and Cell sentries were hidden around corners. By staring down these hardened bags of bolts we were able to open new passages and turn turrets against tactless troopers. It required actually standing nearby the active sentry, making cloaking or armor the prime option to manipulate auto-guns. Despite the new equipment seen so far, Crysis 3 doesn't feel that it innovates on the series' staple of player freedom. Honestly, tweaking the already fantastic mechanics is the smart option. The strongest feature of Crysis 3 is the compelling plot and setting that will bring the trilogy to its close. Those who loved previous Crysis games will be foaming at the mouth for this next installment, but there just isn't enough new to sway naysayers. The public may judge for themselves when Crysis 3 hits stores February 2013 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
