If you've been following my articles (of course you have...we're friends right?) you've seen the reveal of EA's 'Crysis 3' but what you may not know is that a new gameplay trailer has just hit the web and it really shows off some of the beauty of a futuristic New York teeming with all sorts of enemies and greenery.

On top of this awesome new trailer, it has recently been announced that Crysis 3 will have the same stunning DX11 graphics on Xbox 360 and PS3 as the PC version of Crysis 2 had which apparently is so intense it, 'shouldn't theoretically work on consoles'.

Today is a good day for Crysis fans because EA has officially unveiled the latest installment to their futuristic FPS (first person shooter) series. Besides the overall story, the impressive looking box art (see above) and pre-order bonuses have also been revealed.

EA’s Same-Sex Sex Shenanigans Judged Not Sexy At All

By Chris Littlechild | April 6, 2012 @ 11:53 am

The ending of Mass Effect 3 was relentlessly bitched about by many fans. This week, the game became objectionable for a whole new reason. One that’s even more preposterous.

It seems that the inclusion of same-sex relationships in both the aforementioned title and Star Wars: The Old Republic has caused a further broadside to be levelled at the company. At the head of the assault are Christian groups The Family Research Council and Focus on the Family. Electronic Arts stands accused of ‘bowing to gay and lesbian activists to include them in their games.’ Further, ‘the groups also accuse EA of "indoctrinating" children to homosexuality by forcing them to be exposed to a homosexual lifestyle.’

Even at a glance, there are several gaping holes in this reasoning. This ‘reasoning’, in fact, resembles the face of the freaking moon. Considering the dearth of homosexual and lesbian characters in gaming, the gay and lesbian activists in question can’t have had too much of an influence on the video game landscape. Perhaps the suggestion is that they sent threatening letters to Electronic Arts’s bosses, or something of that nature? You WILL include a few guys cavorting in speedos, touching each other with gleeful abandon in your games! I know where you live! Surely gay and lesbian activists have better things to do? As far as indoctrinating children goes, the age restriction on the games concerned are intended to prohibit children from playing.

Video Game Stinkers Satan Himself Wouldn’t Touch: Cel Damage

By Chris Littlechild | March 28, 2012 @ 2:04 pm

Cel Damage is a turdtacular vehicle combat game that arrived on the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube triumvirate in 2001. It was as welcome on all three as a hobo with herpes nonchalantly shuffling into the plushest room in the White House. I still wake up in a cold urine-soaked sweat after nightmares of this awful game, over a decade later.

One reason for its notoriety is the terrible modes on offer. There are three to pick from, if you dare, and they all suck horribly (and equally). Smack Attack is a simple deathmatch affair. You choose a character and arena, then set about racking up points by demolishing your opponents. Gate Relay, meanwhile, is the most diabolically awful concept I’ve ever heard. Or can imagine hearing. Hyperbole aside, it involves two gates, on either side of the arena. You drive repeatedly between them. The winner is the player who hasn’t throttled themselves with the controller cord, just to end this torment, at the end of the round.

I don’t remember too much about the third option, Flag Rally. Perhaps my mind has repressed the memory, it’s just too unspeakable to let out of my tortured subconscious. I know it involved collecting flags that wandered freely about on weird little flag-legs. Other than that, I’m a little hazy. Rest assured, though, it was crap. That, I can guarantee.
