Guess everyone wants to make a console these days. Well we don't know for sure if Valve is planning their very own console but recent news confirms that Valve will be getting into the whole hardware development side of the gaming world.Rumors about Valve's intention to get into the hardware market had been flying around since March of this year. According to the rumors Valve was working along with Steam Box console. But as usual, Valve stepped in and dismissed these rumors as being false by commenting, "[the world is] a long way from Valve shipping out any sort of hardware."
The statement pretty much convinced everyone till a job listing appeared on Valve's official site for "an electronics engineer to work on platform hardware". Funny how most of the news we get nowadays are from job listings. The listing itself is pretty self explanatory and reveals quite a bit about Valve's intentions.
I quote, "Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the

When The Last Guardian was first revealed it looked as if it was going to be one of those masterpieces that you would buy a console just to play. As you can see from the following trailers it seemed epic, grand, mystifying and above all incredibly intriguing. Before even seeing anything about the game we all expected it to be along the lines of the PS2 masterpieces, Shadow of the Colossus and ICO. Check out the trailers:E3 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHzHoMT5eRg
TGS 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vi3srAvl1w&feature=relmfu
Yep, you read it right, it was announced in 2010. Has it been launched yet? Far from it. Just like any of those games that gamers are dying to play, The Last Guardian's launch date kept on postponing till the point that it was believed it had been cancelled altogether.
The rumor about the cancellation

Since the moment I saw the first trailer for Dishonored I have been going on and on about how good it looks and how much I am anticipating it. But being a PS3 owner, I am sort of dreading how it will play on the PS3 as well.
It is a well-known fact that Bethesda has been horrible to PS3 owners. Why do I say so? Well let's just take Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim into consideration. On PC and Xbox 360 it is perfect. On the PS3 there is a massive glitch that you only get to find out after playing the game for a while.
On top of that, DLCs always take forever to get to the PS3 and even when they are released, it is full of bugs! You all know that the latest DLC for Skyrim, Dawnguard, took forever to release. What many don't know is that Bethesda had to work real close with Sony in order to get Dawnguard to even work properly on the PS3!
The only ray of hope I see here is that Arkane Studios is mainly responsible for development. I hope they prioritized both consoles when developing

Hey there guys! Recently I showed you guys a new trailer out for Dishonored, promptly named "Creative Kills", that showed off the creative ways with which players can go about their assassinations. Today I bring to you a "new new" trailer that shows all the aspects that one must consider when sneaking about in the game.As Arkane Studios mentioned before, they have developed the game such that players have complete freedom in choosing a playing style; they can choose to be aggressive or sneaky. However, the whole game is primarily meant to be played in stealth mode and if I am not wrong, most of you will agree with me in the fact that it is much more fun playing stealthy anyways!
As the main character Corvo, we will have at our disposal a wealth of gadgets and weapons to help us in our missions. The powers range from short range teleportation or "Blink" to "Possess" which lets you control ALL non-player characters in the game. You can even possess rats and fish!

As we have said before, Dishonored is shaping up to be a great game. If you guys don't know, Dishonored follows the story of Corvo (an assassin with super natural powers) as he sets to get revenge on all who wronged him and finally set things right. The entire game is about revenge as evidenced by the game's tag line "Revenge solves everything".
The game to me feels like a mash up of Assassin's Creed and Bioshock, which is why I am so psyched for it! Players will have at their disposal a wealth of gadgets, weapons and powers with which to slay their enemies. A recent gameplay trailer not only shows a few of the cool powers and weapons players will get but, also how to combine the powers to kill the enemies in creative and fun ways!
My favorite is the "Friendly Fire" where you first get an enemy to shoot at you and then "Bend Time" to stop the bullet in mid air, and then "Possess" the other individual to place him in the path of fire; end result is that he shoots himself!

A French site linked to the leak of Gears of War 3.
It's months before the release of Gears of War 3, but unfortunately some people are impatient for Epic's game. This incident thatoccurred not too long ago has made such a security breach that law enforcement had to be called in. Thankfully that won't be necessary anymore.

Evil D-Pad Perfect for Gears of War 3
I am sure many gamers out there have encountered a game in which the original Microsoft D-Pad has failed them in some way. There are many games where you use the D-Pad in order to switch between weapons and equipment, perform a special move, or just simply walk around. These types of flukes dont happen all the time, but they do occur more often than you think. I am sure many out there will agree with me when I say that it always seems to fail us at the most important moment. This flaw in the controller has caused quite a ruckus in the gaming industry. However the workers at Evil Controllers have solved this problem.
