Halo 4 News

343 Industries announces that Halo 4 is complete! You can check out the Halo 4 Developer Session with Frank O'Connor at the Eurogamer Expo below. You may have to fast-forward a bit as there's about 12 minutes of nothing.

In the video they'll show off the 3rd level in the campaign along with a trailer for Forward Unto Dawn as well as an appearance from Master Chief bringing in the Halo 4 console. He mentions that there will be 4 player co-op and that the other players will be spartans.

Also were revealed some screen shots of which CVG reports the return of THE FLOOD in a new multiplayer mode that supports up to 10 players. If you've played multiplayer on Halo before you might remember a mode called infection. This is the generally infection but I'm gussing you'll respawn as the flood and as you can see in the picture below it looks as if the claw would act as the sword would have from infection.

Gamification

A friend posted this on facebook and I thought I would take a look. It really caught my attention and it's a really interesting talk about games and how developers create a reward based system and why it works.

This video is a Google Tech Talk from October 26th, 2010.

Darksiders II Review

A war between Heaven and Hell wages on as the Horseman, War, stands trial for bringing upon the apocalypse. Can his brother clear his name of such crime?

If you played the first Darksiders and liked it I highly suggest you continue and play Death's side of the story as it runs parallel with the first. During the Horseman,War's 100 year imprisonment Death seeks out for an answer and a way to redeem his brother. They changed it enough so Death does not play like War and added some new things like the loot system to keep you hunting for rare weapons and armor. There are some added RPG elements to build what kind of character you want Death to be and at a cheap price the ability to reassign all your points. The gameplay is a lot fun and rewarding when you get past some of it's harder puzzles. The story progressing isn't as strong in this game as it is in the first but it won't take much away from the experience. I really enjoyed playing as the reaper, Death and if you're a fan of the Darksider's series I definitely say check it out.

4/5
