An epic amount of Epic Mickey media
Game Informer's slow trickle of Epic Mickey deets has turned into a full-on firehose today, as the site has published a massive five-page feature on the game's environments, concept art and character animations. The feature not only talks about the developmental process for animators and designers at Junction Point Studios, but also delves into the game's world a bit, showing off screens of the cartoon objects and inert objects populating the land. The former are things the player can create and erase in the game, whereas the latter are permanent objects in the game world that the player cannot affect.There's even some really odd stuff to look at -- like a robotic Donald Duck and a video of Mickey Mouse shadowboxing. Looks like we can cross one item off our list of Sentences We Never Would've Imagined Ever Having to Write.
Five new Star Trek Online screenshots
We've got five new Star Trek Online screens for you, hot off the computers at Cryptic Studios. Usually we have an exceedingly difficult time picking a favorite, but the above image contains Klingon warbirds and so it wins our hearts. Our love of the Federation isn't gone, but if you hadn't been able to tell yet, we're very happy to finally start seeing more of the Klingon side of Trek -- even if it's only a screenshot and video.Telling you how the other screens show off amazing space battles and cool interiors is probably unnecessary. So in lieu of that, we'll mention that we can't wait to see Klingon interiors and all their angular, red and green glory.%Gallery-28615%
C&C 4: Tiberian Twilight screens shoot more beams than a Pink Floyd Laser Show
While the subtitle could use some work, Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight's look is coming along nicely. EA recently deployed some new media from the game, all showing off the ongoing war between the Brotherhood of Nod and the GDI forces. Their conflict is eternal -- kinda like Tom and Jerry, but with way less slapstick and lots moar lazorz.Hit up the gallery below for the new screens, which are oddly devoid of all that XP we saw in the last batch. %Gallery-75428%
Gaze onto Dol Guldur in Siege of Mirkwood
Back at PAX09, we brought you information on Lord of the Rings Online's latest expansion, Siege of Mirkwood. Unfortunately, at that time we weren't able to show any images of the breathtaking views Turbine treated us to -- at least not until now.Say hello to Dol Guldur, the fortress that served as Sauron's home back in his necromancer days in The Hobbit. It's pretty evil looking, yeah? it's also a massive vertical dungeon that -- and we can say from first-hand experience -- will astonish any fan of Gothic architecture . There are plenty more screens in the gallery, so take a look and share your thoughts.%Gallery-74262%
Take a look at Star Trek Online's Borg and more
We've got five new screens from Cryptic Studio's upcoming Star Trek Online to share with you today. Of particular note is the above shot of a Borg drone about to vaporize someone or something into stardust. However, there are also plenty of tantalizing new space images in this batch. For instance, this aft shot of what appears to be a Prometheus variant has an interesting hull design.This will be a weekly thing up until the launch of Star Trek Online, so keep your eyes peeled every Monday for a glimpse at something new to whet your Trek appetite. Hopefully we'll be able to help sate it, but if nothing else, at least there'll be pretty space ships to ogle on a regular basis.%Gallery-28615%
The Green Arrow unveiled in DC Universe Online
SOE have released oodles of concept art and screenshots for The Green Arrow in DC Universe Online. In case you didn't know, he's green and uh, well he shoots arrows. He's also known as Oliver Jonas "Ollie" Queen and was originally created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp back in 1941.He may not be Batman or Superman, but Ollie can toss punches with the best of 'em. Plus, he's a crack shot who can land an arrow directly between your eyes at unprecedented ranges. Plus, and we're sure some of you will find this amusing, he's a billionaire and former mayor.%Gallery-34118%%Gallery-50201%
Five hot new Star Trek Online screens
We've got five brand new exclusive Star Trek Online screens fresh from Cryptic to gently glaze over your eyes into a glossy sheen, or not, if that's not your thing. In our opinion, this particular screen of what appears to be a Constitution class that's been heavily customized is definitely a favorite. Or wait, do we prefer the Borg cube exploding into pieces? It's kind of hard to pick a favorite.Would we be nerdy to request some tasty screens of the newly revealed Discovery class vessel? In fact, just a bunch of screens of all the ships blasting hostiles would be just grand. Yep, that's not too demanding, especially considering this is a request coming from a bunch of Star Trek fans.%Gallery-28615%
Earthrise reveals new environmental screens
In the post-apocalyptic world of action MMO Earthrise you'll encounter bone-filled deserts, lush jungles, other-worldly forests and... alien hatcheries full of membrane fauna? Hmm, oh that's right this is a sci-fi game, so that's totally cool. Even still, sweeping vistas and mysterious looking locations are all present here, which is exactly what an exploring player hopes to see in an upcoming MMO.Indeed, many of the new images are deliciously pretty -- just be aware that as you click through them, you're bound to come across that alien hatchery. Of course, if creepy alien hatcheries are what you're all about, then pleased you will certainly be.%Gallery-48760%
PAX 2009: Dark mysteries of The Secret World
So, you may have heard: Funcom is taking famous myths, urban legends, pop culture, history and even things like the Rota Fortunae and blending it all into a game called The Secret World. We sat down with lead designer Martin Brusgaar and creative director Ragnar Tornquist at PAX 2009 to discuss the game and a few of its many secrets.The Secret World has a vibe unlike any other MMO or really game currently out there. Its premise is simple -- all the legends, myths and more are true. Atlantis is rising, vampires roam the night, 2012 is the beginning of a new fourth age and so on. The world is a dark, scary and magical place. Although, it's more of the first two than anything else.%Gallery-72395%
PAX 2009: Dark mysteries of The Secret World part 2
The level-less progression system is designed around your standing with the secret society of your choice, and their headquarters is were you'll receive better magic, equipment and more. Venders and what Ragnar referred to as "inventors" can be found here, too. Also, the headquarters operate as a social hub, particularly for Cabals -- TSW's version of guilds -- who call the city of their societies' headquarters home.
Prepare for an onslaught of Tekken 6 PSP media
While some of us still think there's no way that Tekken 6 for the PSP will release alongside its console counterparts, Namco is sticking to its guns on the October 27 release. And so the publisher has unleashed an alarming amount of media for the PSP port, including two new trailers that show off the first in-game footage and a host of new screens. Hit up the gallery below for the screens and head past the break for the second trailer.Oh, and yes, Alisa totally took off her head and smacked Eddy with it. You didn't imagine that part.%Gallery-51400%
MGS: Peace Walker screens are hiding under a cardboard tank
Click image to sneak into our gallery Coming up with headlines is tough -- except in the case of these new MGS: Peace Walker screens from GamesCom. There are plenty of screens to ogle (ten, to be exact!), but none tug at the heart strings more than the screen you see above. There's something magical about two Snakes running around with cardboard disguises that just ... you'll have to excuse us, we have something in our eye.%Gallery-70455%
Upside down Champions Online screens spin our heads
The screens just keep on rolling out from Champions Online, and they keep getting more impressive, too. The image above is the perfect example of the pretty pretty pictures the people at Cryptic have become capable of taking. Although we recommend checking out the others, as there are many images of hero types never before shown.To be honest, we're sort of jealous, because lately our screens have been of hairy luchadors instead of an assault rifle toting, back-flipping upside down heroine.However, we can take solace in the knowledge that in a mere month we'll have every waking hour to snap screens. Maybe then our dream of time-traveling cyborg knights battling underwater fish people wallpaper can finally come true. That, or we'll see a bunch of DC and Marvel comics ripoffs roaming the world.%Gallery-17946%
Rumor: I Am Alive, but I may not look like these screens anymore
German site PCGames got its hands ... er, server on a set of screenshots purported to be from an early version of Ubisoft's disaster game I Am Alive. The images, which originated at Unseen64, are said to come from a build of the title from when it was being worked on by Alone in the Dark dev Darkworks. (It's since been handed over to Ubisoft Shanghai.)The screens look plenty disaster-y in their depiction of a post-earthquake Chicago. It's hard to make much of them, though, since they're, y'know, just environments. Let's hope the game's new developer is working hard to deliver gameplay akin to what the original teaser trailer hinted at. [Via WorthPlaying]%Gallery-69316%
Champions Online goes big with ten new screenshots
Gun-fu, robots with top hats and flame-embroidered bugs wielding guns are merely some of the descriptions for the ten new screens Cryptic has released for Champions Online. We know that a little while back we asked Cryptic to experiment more with screenshots and even though these are still action-focused, many of them are pretty awesome.We're having a hard time deciding on our favorite. While the image above is certainly awesome due to its legendary high levels of robot-wearing-top-hat, the guy upside down in mid-air wielding two guns is exceptionally impressive in its own right. But, you've also got a guy with flaming arms kicking a humongous power armor-clad guy in the face.Ah, who are we kidding? It's impossible to pick a favorite this time around -- at least for us. Maybe you'll have an easier time of it. You can find all ten images in the gallery below.%Gallery-17946%
Apple considering matte option on more Macs?
AppleInsider is reporting that Apple might be moving toward providing anti-glare options on more of its Macs, a move that would undoubtedly bring joy to anyone opposed to unbearable glare when using their machine in anything more illuminated than an underground cavern. The company moved to glossy displays on its iMac offerings, and then added them to both its 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros back in October at its Spotlight turns to Notebooks event, leaving only the 17-inch MacBook Pro with an anti-glare option. AppleInsider quotes people "familiar" with the company, who say that Apple is considering the option in response to its core business customers, and that the most likely candidates for the anti-glare treatment would be the 13- and 15-inch laptops. Do it, Apple -- do it for love, do it for ocular relief.
Three new refreshingly different Champions Online screens
We know there's a lot of fighting in Champions Online, or as others might say: a butt-load. More specifically, the screens coming from Cryptic for a while now have emphasized conflict very profoundly. And yet, these latest images are very refreshing to see. Looking through our daily running feature, One Shots, it's easy to see why we feel that way. As much as combat is integral to this beloved genre, so is lush sprawling landscapes and dramatic, if not personal, moments.Take the image above for example. Something about it makes you pause and study what's going on just a little longer than an image of somebody taking a claw swipe to the jugular. Hm, maybe we could get some sweet emote shots next time.Check out the three new screens in the gallery below.%Gallery-17946%
The guns come out in new Lost Planet 2 screens
Click image for running and gunning Capcom deployed some fresh screens from its upcoming sequel, Lost Planet 2, focusing on some gunplay and how blinding the game's light is. Seriously, look at the muzzle flash and the explosions in these screens and tell us that isn't the brightest thing you've ever seen in your life. To round things out, there's also a giant Akrid to ogle, one that looks like it won't be easy to take down. Hit up the gallery below to check it out.%Gallery-67518%
Five action packed Champions Online screens
Dual-wielding guns at pointblank, screen distorting spells and clawed uppercuts are all in supply this week in Champions Online land. Either Cryptic put someone new in charge of grabbing screens, or these powers were just finally ready for their Hollywood closeup -- either way, we're happy to have them.If you're curious about all of these powers, Cryptic's been doing quite a few mini-guides discussing each of the groups like energy or martial powers. Something tells us that these screens are only making those of you not in beta all the more impatient, but since open beta is literally two months away now, at least you won't have to wait much longer.%Gallery-17946%
Massively's DDO Unlimited developer tour, part 2
Far off in the distance stood The Devil's Tower, an ominous black edifice slathered with a blood red glow. The Devil's Tower is where the new Amrath content culminates. At this point, we opened up the DDO Store and purchased some hirelings before venturing any further.
