RAGE | Review

Post-Apocalyptic wastelands, Ark's, sprawling open world gameplay following your sudden waking from a long bout of Cryo Sleep; why does this seem so familiar?  Oh, cause in RAGE, the most recent work from famous Austin-based iD developers, you immediately get a sense of deja vu if you've played any of the similar titles in the past two years.  Borderlands, Fallout 3, heck even the recently released Dead Island "feels" the same.  The problem was, i enjoyed those games more than this.

Full Review continues after the break

New RAGE Screens and a Trailer to boot!

Again, Bethesda has so many AAA games coming out in the next 6-12 months that when they send out updated assets, it's like Christmas for many of us gamers, as it's a plethora of information and screens.  It's like an over-abundance of info, and we're legally obligated* to share them with you.

Without Further adieu, here is the latest trailer, after the break, for the Bethesda Published, iD Developed post-apocalyptic first-person-shooter/racing hybrid.  Whew - that was a mouthful!

Bethesda says to pencil in these dates for gaming greatness!

Not one, two, or even three big games coming this year from Bethesda; NAY - four pretty huge games here people!

Bethesda today announced the release dates of their "summer" games, and for good record-keeping, we'll let you know how their "fall" lineup looks.

Picture a calendar, one that falls on a date, lets say that date is May 17th (North America), that day my friends, you'll be able to pick up your very own copy of Brink.  Then imagine just a few weeks later, good ol' June 3rd, when you can sink your teeth into Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

This should give you some time before two other insane games we know you can't all wait to play...RAGE releasing on September 13th, and the mother of all mother games, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, coming to blow the lid of this joint on November 11th (11.11.11).

My guess is you can't wait.  But you have to.  Sorry.

So many new screenshots!! | Brink, Fallout New Vegas, Rage and Hunted

Bethesda Softworks decided to vomit gaming bliss onto us today.  Don't worry, this is the good kind of screenshot vomit!  Though some of these screens have been released before due to exclusivity agreements in place I'm sure, we are putting them all up here (and more on our Flickr page) for you all to see. 

Check out a few screens for Brink: (Click link for full set on our Flickr page)

And a few for RAGE:

And some screens for The Hunted:

And last but not least, Fallout: New Vegas

Be sure to check out our Flickr for pure unadulterated, high-res screenshots!

RAGE is now under new publish-ment

According to our friends over at Bethesda, they will now be publishing the upcoming id developed RAGE. Even after the purchase of id Software by Bethesda earlier this year, EA Partners was still holding the reigns on all Publishing, Sales and Marketing aspects of the title, but that has all up and changed on this 15th Day of December.

We're not aware of any bad blood, sour grapes or anything else that might affect our overall experience when we get to play the game, in fact, according to Bethesda, the ongoing development of the title is unchanged, and the show will...go on.

We're certainly fine with this news, and we'd be happy to see a game worthy of Bethesda's pedigree again.

RAGE is all the rage

Rarely am I a post of few words, but really the title of this one is quite succinct and to the point.
