Deus Ex: Release Date Convolution

The next episode in the Deus Ex saga, Human Revolution, has just been delayed. Instead of March 2011, the hotly anticipated title's release slides back, to the broad area of anywhere up to Spring 2012. Square Enix says that the delay is necessary to add more 'polish' to the game. 

That guy at the desk is our hopes, and Adam Jensen's kick ass arm-blade is a cold serving of reality.

REVIEW: Vanquish

Space marines, cover-based battle, and quick-time events are some of the most cliched ideas in the action genre. Vanquish attempts to build on the mundane by allowing you to spring out of cover and slide a hundred meters forward on your knees, while skillfully picking off your opposition with sniper rifle headshots, and at the end of your jet-propelled dash, breakdancing into an evasive roll, before dashing up a 30 foot tall robot, to punch his head off, clean. Sure it sounds good in theory, but can Vanquish pull it off in practice?

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Long Ass Trailer of Cybernetic Dopeness

Since its first few glimpses, Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been establishing quite a setting for itself. The latest look ups the ante, by showing a bit of cinematic we've seen before together with some brand new footage. All in all, the trailer weighs in at a hefty 5 minutes.

Though no gameplay this time around, strictly story, setting, ambiance, and Adam Jenson making good use of his cybernetics. Show off.

Storm, C.Viper are Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Latest Challengers

The hotly anticipated Marvel vs. Capcom 3 reveals the latest additions to its ever expanding roster. Storm, who looks good in her new duds, returns with a similar move set to her MvC2 incarnation, now jacked up and looking fly. While I'm not the biggest fan of C. Viper, her inclusion pretty much solidifies her appearance in Street Fighter games to come. Love or hate, her rush and attack move set should translate well in the Versus world. 

This round of reveals seems to have answered the guy at New York Comic Con who complained that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was shaping up to be a sausage fest. With a rumored 8 unrevealed characters remaining, Capcom will keep gamers teased and interested right up to release date.

Dead Space 2 Will Impress You, One Way or Another

EA has blessed us with a new trailer for the slick and incredibly disturbed looking Dead Space 2. Between trailers and gameplay videos, Dead Space 2 is giving gamers plenty to get excited about, but it is inevitable that there will be doubters. For those of us who aren't yet properly hyped for the January 25th release, EA is offering an early Christmas gift and not change your mind.

You can download the Dead Space 2 demo for your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 on December 21. I have a feeling there will be tons engineers and necromorphs being dismembered very soon.

Batman Roughs Up Sam Fisher in Arkham City Teaser

Boy, they weren't kidding when they said teaser. Here's 15 seconds of Batman beating the hell out of some nondescript dudes with guns, one of which looks like Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher. Is Rocksteady Studios taking a jab at the popular and well established Splinter Cell series, which Batman: Arkham Asylum no doubt took a cue from, or am I looking too deep into it? For 15 freaking seconds of teaser, you better believe I'm going to let my imagination run wild.

All will be set right this Saturday at 8pm EST, when Batman: Arkham City will get a proper reveal on Spike's Video Game Awards.

Super Meat Boy's Official Box Art

Super Meat Boy is a game I grow to love more with each passing day. Team Meat hooked up with Magic: The Gathering artist Dave Rapoza to create the box art for Super Meat Boy's boxed PC edition. Loss for words.

Sony Ericsson's PlayStation Phone Gets Felt Up

Sony Ericsson's PlayStation Phone has been spotted in the wild, and immediately gets groped on camera. Not much has changed cosmetically since it's first low quality photo reveal. Actually, nothing has changed, which is a bit disappointing to say the least. PlayStation has always impressed me with its cutting edge designs, but the PSPhone is a little disappointing to say the least, especially once you slide the screen up and look at the underwhelming controls.

Android's Gingerbread OS is looking pretty sexy though, and that could be the only thing this device has going for it right now. Expect to get more details very soon.

Get Your Hands on a Vinyl Super Meat Toy

Written by Eric Blackwood

For those who enjoy the platformer Super Meat Boy, and/or vinyl toys, here’s a meaty treat. In April 2011, the Super Meat Boy vinyl toy will be on sale featuring two versions: normal, innocent faced Meat Boy and the PETA approved beat up version.

Each variation will be limited to 250 pieces and priced at $39.99 so grab your Meat as soon as you can. Preorder it, or suffer the consequences of possibly not being able to get your hands on it forever! The figure stands at a respectable 8" tall and has adjustable arms, but unfortunately will not leave puddles of blood on your bookshelf. The full color box is designed by the awesome guys at Team Meat.

If $40 is too stiff a price to pay for eight inches of Meat, Cubeecraft’s papercraft homage to our lovable chunk is still readily available for your delight. Click, download, print, cut, fold, enjoy.
