After a week of leaks and rumors, Ubisoft formally unveiled Assassin’s Creed 3 today. Proving earlier rumors true, the game is set during the American Revolutionary War and features a brand new, tomahawk wielding protagonist.
It’s almost time to go back to Raccoon City where it all started and what better way to enjoy that then by digging into a box filled with DLC cards and patches. Er, that’s supposed to sound fun. Either way, that’s about what you will expect for an additional $10 this March 20th. Well, there may be something else in there as well.
Just last week EA announced the sequel to the reboot of the Medal of Honor series. EA Los Angeles is back on the reigns for this project and the game will sport the–now standard–Frostbite 2 engine. That same engine will be running behind both the single and multiplayer aspects, which are both being developed in house this time.
On Wednesdays I spend my time looking for a digital buffet of gaming goodies – I post them here on the Humpday Bump.
Today’s bump features a really weird mod for Half Life 2 called Elevator: Source. It’s like a haunted house ride only for nerds…
Like a zombie swarm, it multiplies. First there was the graphic novel The Walking Dead, and then the show The Walking Dead, then a talk show about the original show called The Talking Dead, and now there is the game called, yet again, The Walking Dead. Oh, did I mention the show about the game? Yeah, it’s called Playing Dead – just wait until porn companies begin spoofing these names using the same formula. I love zombies as much as the next guy, but come on, enough is enough. Thankfully Telltale Games is making it, so there is hope (Please don’t put Lori in the game).
Sega just released a teaser for their next Dreamcast to XBLA/PSN port, and while they don’t say the specifically name the game in question, I’m sure anyone who owned a Dreamcast immediately figured out what game it was as soon as they heard that trademark funky music. Yup, cult classic Jet Set Radio (originally known as Jet Grind Radio when it was released in the US) is getting an HD update.

Today’s bump is unique as i’m showcasing a studio rather than a game. Ever wanted to know what the inside of Valve looked like? Thanks to Penny Arcade you can take a look and see for yourselves…
Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid series and prolific tweeter, made an announcement today via his favorite social networking platform that their is indeed another Metal Gear Solid game in development, and that Kojima Productions is currently hiring en-masse as they gear up production on the next title in their flagship franchise. More details will apparently be unveiled at this year’s GDC, but here’s what little we know:
It seems that over the past week I’ve been typing the names “Tim Schafer” and “Notch” in the tags on my posts an awful lot. Obviously most of this revolved around Double Fine’s vastly successful Kickstarter campaign and Notch’s hopefully cautious comments about Psychonauts 2. Yesterday Mojang had their successful Humblebundle event. Now, however, Mojang is making Schafer look like a boss, completely by accident.
If you grew up watching anime, chances are you spent a good chunk of your childhood punching air and tossing imaginary kamehameha’s in front of your TV while watching Dragonball Z. If so, get ready to relive your childhood in a brand new, equally embarrassing manner, as it looks like a brand new Dragon Ball Z game is being designed specifically for Microsoft’s Kinect.
With some initially positive reviews, it appeared as though Gotham City Impostors might have been able to glide itself towards success. I spent some time with the game last week and agreed that it was a uniquely fun experience. However some players have reported to Joystiq that there is a glitch which resets all previously earned and purchased in-game goods. I really need to stop jinxing the games I write about.
Hardware manufacturer Razer, best known for high quality (and uber-expensive) PC gaming accessories, announced today that they’re producing a line of peripherals designed specifically for Bioware’s upcoming Mass Effect 3.
