Mass Effect 3: Special Forces Trailer Shows Multiplayer For The First Time

Bioware has finally decided to reveal the Multiplayer aspect of Mass Effect 3. The Special Forces trailer teases the multiplayer side by showing the types of races you can pick. It's said to be compared as the Horde mode of Gears of War were you and three other players try to hold off waves after waves of enemies going at you in all directions. I didn't like the idea at first having multiplayer in Mass Effect, but seeing it now, I can't wait to shoot some reapers with a buddy or two.

Definitely going to be a Turian. A game I can't wait to get my hands on. Mass Effect 3 will be in stores on March 6, 2012 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition on Xbox 360 Dated

CD Projekt just announced a release date for the console edition of The Witcher 2. It will be out on April 17, 2012 and will be the Enhanced Edition of the game. The Enhanced Edition will included four hours worth of additional content plus DLC already released in the PC version. Controls have been tweaked for console use , new intro-cinematics, and new end-game cinematics ( based on your choices in the game). The new intro cinematic is out for our viewing pleasure and makes me want to reinstall and play this epic RPG all over again.

It's a pretty looking game, pretty enough for people to call it the best looking game on the Xbox 360. The Enhanced Edition will cost $60 while the Dark Edition will cost $80. The eighty dollar Collector's Edition of the game will have making of the game discs, a 200-page art book, a replica of the Wolf's Head Medallion, and a bunch of stickers. The quest guide and world map will be included in the Enhanced and Dark Editions of the game.

I played the game last year and its one of the best of 2011. Xbox 360 owners, give this title a shot, you won't regret it.

Street Fighter X Tekken: PS3 and Vita exclusive characters

PS3 and future PS Vita owners will have more exclusives characters in their roster. One coming from the Capcom side, and one from the Namco Bandai side for each platform. PS3 owners will have Pac-Man riding on what looks to be a M and Megaman, but not the look most of us know him for. PS Vita will have Cole Mcgrath and Kuro & Toro. Exclusives characters cool, but really weird additions.

Wonder how Mega Man fans will react using an awful 1980s cover art as the Blue Bomber's look. I can already see mixed reactions with this already. The devs wanted to include Capcom and Namco bandai's mascots in the game in a goofy kind of way. Well, they've succeed.

Huge question - Where's the Xbox 360 love? Well they wanted to add exclusive character for the console, but Capcom say's the timing prevented them from doing so. A post from Shacknews reveals that if negotiations with Microsoft pushed through, possible characters for the Xbox 360 would have been either Master Chief from the Halo series or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War. Too bad, would have been cool seeing those characters going head to head against Jin and Ryu.

Street Fighter X Tekken will be out on March on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Variety Trailer

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is only days away and Square Enix wants to make it clear that the sequel won't be as linear as the first game. Trailer is all about  variety, showing what you can do in the game if you need a break from all the drama..err I mean story.

I've tried the demo and while I do appreciate the changes made in the sequel, It wasn't enough for me to plan on getting it when it releases on january 31. The story of the first game was a mess and from what I'm seeing, it got worse.

Mass Effect 3 demo dated

Electronic Arts officially announced a date for the Mass Effect 3 demo. The demo is coming on February 14 and will included a single player portion and a coop portion, the multiplayer aspect of Mass Effect 3. 

The coop portion of the demo comes on February 17, 3 days after the single player demo. If you purchased Battlefield 3 though, you get the coop demo together with the single player demo on February 14.

“We are excited to be able to give gamers an expansive demo that will put them right on the front lines of this all-out galactic war,” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series. “The entire scale of the game is bigger than anything we’ve ever done. With its intense action, deep customization and raw emotional power,Mass Effect 3 will deliver a spectacular action RPG experience to fans of the series and newcomers alike.”

If you plan on trying the demo out on your Xbox, you'll get a treat. The Xbox 360 demo will be the first ever pre-launch demo to support voice recognition of the Xbox 360's Kinect. It will be an exclusive feature on the Xbox 360 version were you may use the Kinect's voice recognition to order your squad or activate your abilities by simply saying it.

Mass Effect 3 will be out on March 6 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
