CoD BLOPS! I don’t know why, but phonetically pronouncing the acronym is really fun.

Either way, if you’ve been on something of a CoD hiatus now might be the perfect time to get back into the swing of things.

Remember when I told you about this little game Magicka that is selling like hotcakes? Well, today publisher Paradox Interactive announced that there is an expansion coming to the popular action-RPG. The thing is, rather than tossing players into more dungeons and the like, developer Arrowhead decided to do something out of the norm; put Magicka in the Vietnam War.

That’s right, taking a cue from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Magicka will allow players to lightning bolt and fireball Charley back to the Stone Age. Why put a fantasy action-RPG in the Vietnam War? Why not!? Paradox asks, “Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if wizards were allowed to roam the jungles of war-torn Vietnam, attempting to bring peace and stability to the region by casting spells on all opponents?” Read more… »

Every so often a game comes along that is so unique and clever that I just need to tell people about it. This time the game that has piqued my interest is Bloody Good Time, the spiritual successor to The Ship, published by Ubisoft and developed by Outerlight.

What makes this game so unique? For starters, the premise is that the secretive horror movie producer Director X, known for the realistic violence in his films, is in town. Players take on the role of actors, competing for fame and a shot to star in Director X’s new movie. Of course this involves killing off the competition. To make matters more interesting, there are security guards and cameras limiting where and when you can remove your competition.   Read more… »

The Bit.Trip series may be on its way out, but that isn’t slowing Gaijin Games down in the slightest. In just a few short years, the studio has gone from developer, to publisher, and now parent company. Gaijin has now announced their “extremely hostile takeover” of Jason Cirillo’s Robotube Games.

Robotube is best known for their series of educational videos - Bit Museam, they are also the studio behind web-based puzzle games such as Bloktonik and Zyrx. During Blip Festival 2009, the two developers teamed to create a game in less than 24 hours. Let’s hope they make many more wonderful games together.

Following on from the initial teaser trailer, EA has posted an all new video teaser of the upcoming Battlefield 3. The crucial difference this time, however, is that it contains actual gameplay footage from the game, showing glimpses of the new urban city environments and Frostbite 2.0 destruction.

Most gamers have heard stories about how big the pro-gaming scene is in Korea (and to a lesser extend the rest of the East). Games like StarCraft and Counter-Strike are treated with the same production quality and respect as Western sports like Football. Major companies such as Intel and Pepsi plop down huge amounts of money sponsoring both leagues/tournaments and players.

Right now, the biggest game in E-Sports is StarCraft II and the biggest league is the GSL (Global StarCraft II League). Well, it was until last night when pro-gamer EG.INcontrol announced that E-Sports are finally coming to the West with the North American Star League. Read more… »

Last month, Gamer Limit gave a nod to The Next Big Thing, Pendulo Studios’ latest point-and-click adventure due out in March. Whether or not you’re into the forays of point-and-click, this is quite a special title if only for the fact that the studios are literally the next big thing to come out of Spain. Over here in the states and up until now, point-and-click is synonymous with one name — Telltale Games. Not to knock the San Rafael, CA based company (who out there can say anything truly bad about Back to the Future The Game?), and not to forget Lucas Arts’ heyday, but, growth in this genre has been relatively slow due to the apparent monopoly. Pendulo aims to change things with this, their sixth title.

To ramp up The Next Big Thing‘s release, the studios have just created their own Youtube channel. A new video released today highlights Liz Allaire, the leading lady in this cinematic and sleek, comedic and carefree adventure. Of course, it had to be in Spanish, which is okay since we translated it for you.

What do you think of Chris’s first video review for Gamer Limit? Constructive feedback is extremely welcome in the comments!

After a long period of speculation, 2K Games has finally broken down and announced that mafia hitman turned supernatural killing machine Jackie Estacado will return in The Darkness 2.

Slated to arrive sometime this Fall on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, The Darkness 2 picks up the story two years after the events of the first game. Featuring the same great “deep and twisted storytelling” and “stylistic violence,” The Darkness 2 also promises some new features including a new “hand-painted graphic noir” style and the ability to fire guns while going all Doc Ock with your tentacles (an ability 2K is calling “Quad-wielding”).
