    Well let’s add another game to the huge tsunami of games coming out this spring. Activision’s [amazon_link id=”B008J16ARY” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct[/amazon_link] , the first person survival shooter based on the AMC show (not the comics) is jumping head first into the deep end of the video game pool by releasing on the same day as Bioshock Infinite.

    The game will follow brother Merle and Daryl (voiced by show actors, Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus) as they make their way through Atlanta in events that pre-date the show. Activision is playing up the survival aspect of the game saying that supplies will be few and far between so conservation and smart play will be necessary.

    The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will release on March 26th.

    Why?

    Just when I think I have a grasp on my addiction for buying props and collector’s editions of games, NECA, the bane of my wallet, comes along with this fully functioning Sky-Hook from [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link] that I need just as much as the Lancer sitting in my room yet will most likely be displayed next to it.

    The 11″ tall and 22″ long replica is available for pre-order now over at Gamestop.com and will run you $79.99. It will be released on February 26, 2013. Check out the video below to see the Sky-Hook in action.

  • Bioshock Infinite’s First Five Minutes

    83283-bioshock-infinite

    “Booker, are you afraid of God?”

    “No, but I’m afraid of you.”

    And with those two lines Bioshock Infinite should be on every gamers radar.

    Irrational has released a video showcasing the first five minutes of their upcoming Bioshock Infinite. It is not too spoilery so don’t worry too much but it does introduce us to lead character Booker DeWitt and what his task is on the floating city of Columbia. I love how the rainy conditions and lighthouse interior kind of mirror the beginning of the original Bioshock.

  • Aliens Figures Will Be On My Shelf In 2013

    I guess it’s a NECA kind of morning.

    After showing off the Bioshock Infinite figures earlier today I went a bumming around on the company’s website and found these beauties that will be available in Spring 2013.

    The first series will come with Hicks, Hudson and Alien warrior. Marines stand 7″ tall and have over 30 points of articulation while the Alien warrior will be over 9″. Hicks and Hudson will come equipped with pulse rifle, shotgun, motion tracker and shoulder lamp.

    Yes, please.

  • VGA’s Are Tonight In Case You Forgot

    Has it really been ten years since Spike started their own video game awards show? Time really flies when the awards mean nothing and the show is mainly used as a hub for new game previews and not to celebrate the winners. Sarcasm aside, tonight is the tenth VGA’s and I fully intend to watch it because…well that’s what we do. It’s video games. There will be awards for game, studio, soundtrack and downloadable game of the year among others.

    New previews will be shown for Tomb Raider, Gears of War: Judgment, The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite as well as a few surprises which always seem to happen at the show (please let Rocksteady announce their next game).

    So set your DVR’s accordingly and in case you miss it we will have a full rundown of the winners and game previews up after the show airs.

     

  • Crysis 3 Release Date Confirmed

    EA has announced that [amazon_link id=”B0050SY77E” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Crysis 3[/amazon_link] will release on February 19th for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Everyone should prepare accordingly meaning if you own an Xbox 360 or PS3 you should pre-order the game and if you own a PC it means it is time to buy a new video card or PC altogether.

    People that pre-order the game will receive extra weapons available in multiplayer, a level 5 upgrade and a digital copy of the first Crysis game.

    This release date give Crysis a rather slim one-week window before the video game floodgates open on February 26th with Bioshock Infinite. After that it only gets more crowded.

     

  • Bioshock Infinite Cover Art

    Here is the cover art for Bioshock Infinite, one of our most anticipated games of 2013. It certainly is….a cover.

    For such a creative group of guys at Irrational Games you have to admit that the cover is pretty standard. We will just call it “Frontward Facing Uncharted” for lack of a better term.

    I still have no doubts that this game will live up to its lofty expectations but there is no denying this is pretty uninspired. But I guess if you want the masses that are unaware of your game to give it a try you can never go wrong with “guy holding gun and fire”.

  • Bioshock Infinite Beast Of America Gameplay Trailer

    Now we’re playing with power.

    If you will excuse the old reference but that is what came to mind when I watched the first gameplay trailer for Bioshock Infinite titled Beast of America. We all know the art style is a vast departure from the iconic world of Rapture but you can’t deny that the gameplay is decidedly Bioshock.

    Does this new trailer made entirely of in game play give you a breath of relief that [amazon_link id=”B003O6EB70″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link] will make its intended February release date?

    And for those wondering the song in the trailer is “Beast” by Nico Vega.
