According to Kotaku sources it seems like the future XBOX might come with Blu-ray support. This would make XBOX catch up with the PlayStation 3, which uses that disc technology already. In the details it was also revealed that the next console will probably have a technology that will not let you play used games. Let’s hope that Microsoft think twice about this idea, because it will hurt them in the end if they do this. It was also revealed that this new XBOX 720 or whatever their going to call it; is going to have a new and smaller controller.

Max Payne 3 was nice game to look at last year at the New York City Comic-Con, but it seemed like the game’s official release date was almost unknown until now. According to Rockstar Games, Max Payne 3 will be released on May 15, 2012 in North America and May 18, 2012 internationally; and for the PC on May 29, 2012 in North America and June 1, 2012 internationally. Here’s what Dan Houser had to say on Max Payne 3.

“Max Payne 3 brings powerful storytelling back to the action-shooter genre,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Rockstar Studios are delivering a game that’s both incredibly cinematic and very, very intense to play.”

What made Max Payne as a series enjoyable to play was the cinematic part of it and I can tell you from seeing it first hand that it looked great. If you are a Grand Theft Auto fan you will probably want to check this one out as you wait for that game to get released.

Hideo Kojima has confirmed that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be playable over at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). This is great news for fans of the series and personally I can’t wait to play this when we attend this year’s convention. In case you were wondering, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is being developed by Platinum Games the same guys behind Bayoneta and Vanquish.

In the recent Capcom Unity podcast, there is a lot of information that will answer a lot of questions that you may be having on Resident Evil Revelations. In the interviews what makes things interesting is to know that that Queen Zenobia is the name of the cruise ship where much of Revelations takes place. Originally everyone thought that the revelations were going to be in a mansion, but as it turns out it will be in a cruise ship.

They're like the A-Team but in space. And some are hot aliens.

When people think of February, specifically the 14th, one thought usually comes to mind: Valentine’s Day. Images of flowers, chocolates, cards, and romanticism fill the head, for better or for worse. This year though, Bioware is adding some new thoughts to people’s heads: gunning down hostiles, mass invasion of Earth, and blue-skinned alien boobs.

Bioware’s popular space RPG/FPS hybrid has the third installment coming out on March 6th, but if you’re either too impatient to wait until then or aren’t sure if you want to get in on the adventures of Commander Shepard and his spunky bunch of companions from across the galaxy, then you’ll be delighted to see the demo of Mass Effect 3 appear on Valentine’s Day. The demo shows off both single-player and multi-player gameplay, although if you didn’t get Battlefield 3 you’ll be having to wait until the 17th to dive into the multi-player portion, allowing players to get a taste of both types of play before the game is available on shelves. You’ll also gain access to additional content if you played the Kingdoms of Alamur demo that debuted a few days ago.

In a time when video games are being bought more on a trust basis than if you tried a demo and enjoyed it, it’s nice to see EA and Bioware bringing in a demo to both reassure gamers that their money will be well spent and whet their appetite for more Mass Effect goodness. I’m sure it will also help after the massive backlash that happened when multi-player was first confirmed to be included in the game as well. As for me, you’ll probably find me on my PC playing the demo on V-Day, then immediately running out to Gamestop to throw a wad of cash in their face to pay off the cool Collector’s Edition of the game.

Mass Effect 3 is rated M and will be available on X-Box 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
