Fact: Minifig dwarves are very dangerous over short distances.
We reported late last year about a new line of LEGO toys featuring the Lord of the Rings license. A series of games from the now-synonymous-with-LEGO developer Traveller’s Tales seemed like a no-brainer, and now it looks like our original assumption was true.
Available for the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on May 22, 2012.
This is a game you will probably want to pay attention to.
Capcom has been quite the news grabber lately, and it has been mostly negative news over the past year and a half or so. Whatever your feelings for the prolific Japanese developer/publisher, it can’t be denied that Capcom has been one of the most aggressive leaders in establishing new IPs this generation. While that has given us everything from very popular properties like Dead Rising to failures like Dark Void and games that can’t quite be defined like Asura’s Wrath, new and untested games seem to come out of the House of Mega Man at least a couple times a year. Enter Dragon’s Dogma, a game that hopes to bridge the gap between Japanese and Western development sensibilities.

From the very first moments of the game, it’s made clear that Bloodforge is heavily inspired by the God of War series. So inspired that developer Climax Entertainment decided to crib a sizeable portion of that experience in order to create the Microsoft Studios published brawler. However, calling it derivative of the Sony series would be giving it too much credit. Copying only the most basic of elements from the popular series, Bloodforge is a one-dimensional game that won’t hold most gamers’ attention.
I’ve been humbled by Fez. It’s clear to me now that I have not seen it all, nor have I played it all. Rather, I feel more confident than ever, thanks to this unique mind-bending puzzle platformer, that it is still possible to send gamers on a journey quite unlike anything else. In a way, Fez is comprised of dozens of contradictions that all seem to work well together somehow; it’s simple yet complicated, ambiguous yet obvious, charming yet sinister, and frustrating yet incredibly satisfying.
Something massively multiplayer this way comes.
[UPDATE] Bethesda Softworks has released the teaser trailer which is included below. The original story as reported yesterday follows.

Despite the latest in the God of War series being officially revealed, no details were made available upon release of the news. Known only to be a prequel title, a few more details have firmed up what players can expect from the upcoming game. Most notably, God of War: Ascension will feature a first for the series - online and offline multiplayer.
