What a lovely break yesterday was as America celebrated Mother’s Day and me, a Brit, took full advantage of it. Well, welcome back today where we can now celebrate the fact that shooting people in the face and serving justice is really awesome.

This hefty slice of justice and the epic gunfights are, of course, thanks to none other than one Max Payne, whose third video game outing, Max Payne 3, is released on Friday.

In this Max Payne 3 launch trailer, Max talks about the two kinds of people who inhabit the world, those who “build a future” and those who try and “rebuild the past”. He says that he has always hovered in the middle but now plans on fixing this in Max Payne 3, but that won’t stop him from relegating you from his social circle should you fall into the latter category.

Best stay out of his way should you cross paths with him then…

UEFA EURO 2012 DLC Now Available, Launch Trailer Goes Live

Italy vs Denmark - UEFA EURO 2012 Screenshot

Maybe it’s because I’m British. Maybe it’s because I’m a huge fan of the FIFA games. Maybe it’s because I can appreciate the realism that EA’s football sim offers, allowing me to win championships, become captain of my national team and take on the world’s best players ; all from the comfort of my own sofa as I inhale a less-than healthy pizza.

It’s probably an amalgamation of all of those reasons that makes me so giddy for the FIFA 12 UEFA EURO 2012 DLC, the downloadable content that allows FIFA 12 players to build squads from scratch to take on 53 of Europe’s best football teams, travelling the globe, trading players and forming legacies as you go.

EA have really pulled out all of the stops for the UEFA EURO 2012 DLC so if you’re going to make any effort to take over the world, one goal at a time, this is the best place to start.

Sorcery Story Trailer – Finally, a Reason to Buy PlayStation Move

Back in 2010, when I reviewed the PlayStation Move launch bundle, most of us expected it to be this grand, ground-breaking piece of tech that we would need rather than want for our PS3s.

It’s plain for anyone to see that that never really happened. For all of the protesting that PlayStation brand’s official hype man, Kevin Butler, did about ‘GAMING NEEDS BUTTONS!!!’, it never flourished and rather floundered into an embarrassing piece of really good gadgetry that few wanted and even fewer cared about.

Sorcery, is the PlayStation move game that is set to change all that. As the young male sorcerer, Finn, you are enticed by your sneaky feline nemesis and friend entices you into unleashing a world of mythical baddies upon the magical society that you live in. Your job, as the protagonist of Sorcery, is to fling about powerful spells to uncover ancient knowledge, save the townspeople and take on a range of exciting and adventurous quests.

Unlike most games that use PlayStation Move as a wedged in, back-of-the-box gimmick, Sorcery is made for PlayStation Move, meaning that if there ever was a time to get in on the motion control madness, that time is now.

When it comes to the Dishonored, the plot and premise alone is enough to have me preaching this game’s impressiveness from the treetops.

Bethesda want to have you join me in singing its praise and so have release an impressive CGI trailer of the game that yes, while completely animated and not including gameplay, is the perfect indication of the throat slashing and rooftop running that we’ll all be privy to when the supernatural assassin gameplay of Dishonored hits shelves later this year.

It’s gorgeous, it’s gruesome and it will most definitely leave you speechless – the new Dishonored trailer is here.

Max Payne 3 Bullet Time Trailer is Dramatic, Intense

Max Payne of Max Payne 3 : gun-toting maniac, alcoholic, King of shooting things in slow-mo whilst looking like a total badass.

Usually reserved for soppy talent show montages and Baywatch beach running, slow-mo isn’t very welcomed in video games, save for Modern Warfare 3’s kill cams.

Rockstar have already thrown the book at the status-shooter-quo by making a balding ex-detective  the protagonist of the franchise reboot of Max Payne so why not do it again by embracing slow-mo more than most of us gamers ever have? Max Payne 3 bullet time seems to work somewhat, let Rockstar show you themselves in the brand new trailer for the feature.

Rock Band Blitz – Seven Things You Need to Know

What’s a better a music game than Rock Band? Nothing that’s what.

Sure, Guitar Hero has a stellar line up of songs (many of which make up our Song of the Week picks) but the undisputable top dog, in terms of gameplay, is the rock-so-hard-it’ll-blow-your-socks-off, Rock Band.

While many assumed that the Rock Band series would perhaps be dead in the water after poor sales of Rock Band 3 struck the series hard – in addition to the 50% revenue decrease in the music rhythm game genre and the fierce competition in the form of Guitar Hero – this meant that although Rock Band 3 was one of the most fun to play games (of any genre) out there, the series plateaued.

However, (!) Rock Band fans need not mourn any more as just yesterday, Harmonix announced another Rock Band game – Rock Band Blitz.
If you like music, which you probably do, you need to read this : I’ve gone to the lengths of putting together a Rock Band Blitz cheat sheet, clueing you in on everything you need to know about Harmonix’ new game.

Ridge Racer Unbounded Gameplay Trailer Urges You to ‘Make Some Noise’

A good sound atmosphere is to a driving game what wheels are to a car – that goes to say that the noises that a developer have chosen to cause havoc in your ear drums are pretty, damn important.

The last time we got a sneak peek at some Ridge Racer Unbounded gameplay was a few days ago when Namco Bandai released a trailer of what it would be like to have a play around in Ridge Racer Unbounded’s city creator mode. JSX staff writer Myles and I were very impressed, in a jaw-creating-dents-in-the-pavement sort of way, so it’s nice for our ears to get a pick me up with this new video that focuses on the sound guys of Ridge Racer Unbounded.

After all, after the driving, the sounds that coincide with your racing can make or break a racing game. There’s nothing more annoying that  cheesy teenybop music pounding round your head when you’re careering round a corner or into the side of an AI-controlled car.

Far Cry 3 Gameplay Trailer is out, Introduces New Character, ‘Shrooms

‘Shrooms, berries, other unidentifiable trippy hallucinogenic substances.

All of those have a home in Far Cry 3.

Ubisoft’s latest Far Cry 3 gameplay trailer introduces us to a new character, Dr. Earnhardt, whose idea of recreational fun is less ‘hackysack’ and more ‘happy snack’, if you snack on mind destructing drugs that is.

These substances look set to play a big role in your time in Far Cry 3’s world, I’d put money on a handful of levels being dedicated to the stuff and I wouldn’t put it past it being the sole reason that half of the islanders in this game are missing entire tool boxes from their brains, let alone a few screws.

‘It’s here, it’s here, the Assassin’s Creed 3 trailer is finally here!’

So excited that I’m going to incite the insanity even more by unleashing an entire host of Assassin’s Creed 3 media – an official trailer from Ubisoft and more leaked screenshots, plus I’ve got the skinny on the brand new assassin that everyone wants to be friends with (we also maybe should be scared of him, in equal parts though!).
