There have been various Linkedin in profiles and resumes that suggest the sequel to some really awesome games. These games are Battlefield Bad Company 3, Mirror’s Edge 2, and Deus EX 4, which could possibly be in early development already. With E3 around the corner, these titles will probably get announced at the expo this year. We hope that you take this as a rumor being that this information is not coming from either EA or the folks over Square Enix.

The Mirror’s Edge 3 news comes from ex EA software engineer posted that he had worked on a “wandering of crowd system within the Unreal 3 Engine.” Then another former EA employee posted that he had build “new gadget and interactive features” for Mirror’s Edge 2 as well as leaderboards and a minigame.

Battlefield Bad Company is talked about from a user that suggested he “provided video game prototype, design, and demo feedback on various AAA titles including Battlefield: Bad Company 3, Dead Space 2, Devil May Cry 5, and other unannounced titles.”

And last, but not least, there was a job listing also on Linkedin that suggest Deus Ex 4. In the listing, which has been taken down since then, it was described that a major Canadian company is looking for a cinematic director. This company was also looking for programmers, developers and artists for a “well known and respected action/adventure title, with elements of choice and stealth within the gameplay.” The game was also described as a “semi open-world action adventure title that responds to player choice and interaction.” Deus EX is franchise that gets developed by Eidos Montreal, who happen to be a Subsidiary of Square Enix.

As we said up top, this is only a rumor, so take this as a grain of salt. We will have to wait and see what happens over at E3 as this could be the best so far.

Max Payne 3 is available in stores all across North American shores. This was a game that we got to play at Pax East this year and it was awesome to see what this new game brings to the table. As of today only the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 versions of the game are available, but that of course will change on May 18 when the PC version of the game comes out. If you are a fan of Grand Theft Auto and are looking forward for GTA V, Max Payne will be using the same game engine and should serve as a glimpse for things to come.

In the new story, Max Payne is no longer a cop. He is a little bit older and pretty much an alcoholic spending most of his days drinking his life away. While at a bar, he runs into Raul Passos, who get’s him into all of this trouble and has him going around Sao Paulo and Brazil’s famous Favelas’.

This is probably the best Max Payne game so far, so be sure to pick it up if you happen to be a fan of the series or a fan of Grand Theft Auto.

Darrell Gallagher, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics had some good news today:

“A Message to the Tomb Raider Community

When Crystal Dynamics first set out to reboot the Tomb Raider franchise, there were two goals that we were extremely passionate about. The first was to create a modern Tomb Raider game that would surprise and excite gamers. The second was to make this the best game of our careers, something we would be really proud to be a part of. We truly believe that we have something very special on our hands and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game. In order to do this, we have decided to move the game’s release date by a few months, from Fall 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait. The game is looking amazing and we can’t wait to show it to everyone at E3 in a few weeks.
