RESIDENT EVIL 6 demo included with DRAGON’S DOGMA


DRAGON'S DOGMAWhen Dragon’s Dogma, an action/adventure game developed by Capcom, ships in July, there’ll be an exciting bonus packed along with the game. Today, Capcom announced that an online download code for a demo of Resident Evil 6, the next mainline addition to the long-running franchise, will be provided for every gamer who purchases a new copy of Dragon’s Dogma. A move like this isn’t underheard of in the videogame industry, and, in fact, has led to increased sales for titles like Crackdown (included a demo of Halo 3), Tobal No. 1 (Final Fantasy 7) and Zone of the Enders (Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty) and is sure to improve exposure for Dragon’s Dogma, a new franchise from Capcom.

Ride with the Rohirrim in the next expansion for LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE


LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE: RIDERS OF ROHANWhen Lord of the Rings Online first went free-to-play, I jumped on board, curious to see how well Turbine, the celebrated developer of other MMORPGs such as Asheron’s Call, could capture Tolkien’s legendary Middle-Earth. It’s not an easy task, as Middle-Earth is such a foundational part of my love for Fantasy that it would be near impossible to do justice to the world with a digital playground. Naturally, wanting to start life in The Shire, I created a cute Hobbit Minstrel named Cabenting, and jumped in feet first.

For hours afterwards, I was lost in Middle-Earth. Not just a digital playground version, but the Middle-Earth. I was in love.

Saints Row the Third: A Super Sick, Super Crazy Gonzo Funhouse of the Id


saints rowI broke down and bought Grand Theft Auto IV a few months ago when I was in the mood for some open-world mayhem, only to be sorely disappointed. Why was I driving some guy’s girlfriend around? And why do I have an angry, a-hole boss? Why am I some low level schmo, and why can’t I customize my character, beyond just a couple of wardrobe changes? Where was the fun? Well, I figured out a few weeks ago. All of the fun that I was expecting can be found in Saints Row the Third.
