GOD OF WAR – REVELATIONS ABOUT FAYE

God of War was full of moments that shook us to our core. The Blades of Chaos, the reveal that Atreus is Loki- but rather than talking about the parts of the game that we’ve talked about countless times, we wanted to highlight something else. The revelation about Atreus right at the end of the game was certainly a huge moment, but something else that also gave the story an entirely new layer of depth was finding out that Faye had essentially been the orchestrator of Kratos and Atreus’ whole journey. She had Kratos cut down the tree that would send them out into the world, she marked the paths that both of them would want for the entire game- she was basically the writer of their story. Replaying God of War with that knowledge lends a whole new meaning to the game’s narrative.

Whether it’s a boss that draws sympathy or one that seemingly never dies, there are all kinds bosses to encounter. 

Keiji Shibusawa – Yakuza 0

There’s only room for one Dragon of Dojima in Yakuza 0 and unfortunately for Keiji Shibusawa, it’s not him. The patriarch of Yakuza 0’s Shibusawa family, he’s usually portrayed as someone with a mind for business. However, this hides his sheer ruthlessness as witnessed when he set out to kill the Kazama family. The final battle sees Kiryu nearly kill Shibusawa but Nishiki would intervene, thus ensuring that Keiji went to jail.

In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen of what we feel are the scariest first person games we’ve ever played. Some of these are out and out horror, while others find other ways to unsettle their audiences without being proper horror titles- but they all deserve a place in this list.ALIEN ISOLATION

You knew this was coming- so let’s get it out of the way first. Alien Isolation captures feeling of the horrifying nightmare of being trapped with a Xenomorph perfectly. Every second of the experience is wrought with unimaginable horror, and crippling fear can take hold of you at any second, given how deadly the alien is. The fact that it’s that crippling fear you constantly have to fight back against to ensure your survival makes the horror that much more potent.

According to a rumour on Superannuation’s Tiwtter feed, Monolith, developers of the first person shooter/survival horror franchise F.E.A.R. are working on the game tie-in for the upcoming movie, The Hobbit.

“As to what Monolith/WB Games Seattle is up to now – pretty sure it is a little fantasy action RPG-lite called The Hobbit: Part One,” reads the tweet. “It also sounds like WB Seattle will be handling the tie-in for the second Hobbit film.”

Having recently released Gotham City Imposters, Monolith sure seem to have their hands full.

Stay tuned, we’ll keep you updated.

Warner Brothers Interactive along with Fear 3 developer Day 1 Studios have released a new trailer for FEAR 3.  The trailer showcases that you can play as Paxton Fettel in the game, in all story levels after you’ve played a level as ‘Point Man’. F.E.A.R. 3 will be out this May for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Warner have announced that their recently delayed Shooter, F.E.A.R 3, will be releasing on the 22nd of March, 2011 across all three platforms, namely the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The game will be released three days later, on the 25th of March, in the UK.

American customers who pre-order the game from Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop get these incentives:

“Amazon: A 12-page F.E.A.R. 3 comic book that acts a prequel to the game and takes place after the events of the original F.E.A.R. The story is written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Stefano Raffaele and published by D.C. Comics.

Best Buy: Exclusive access to The Shredder, a choice weapon for taking down rogue super soldiers. The gun fires heavy rounds with nitrates that acts “like a fire breathing dragon in your hand.”

Gamestop: Players will receive The Hammer, Paxton Fettel’s original sidearm. The gun packs .50 caliber rounds that do nearly twice the damage compared to a standard sidearm.”

Catch it all here.

Entitled, ‘Brotherly Love in F.3.A.R.’, the video shows Fettel and the Point Man joining forces. Included are some in-game clips as well as live action snippets.

The previous 2 F.E.A.R. games successfully mixed horror and shooting in a spooky fusion.

You can catch the release trailer of F.3.A.R here.

We will keep you posted.

The auditions for the promotional video took place on the 14th and 15th of January in a Los Angeles studio. Marcus Nispel, the director of the Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes, has been chosen to direct it, so we can assume something gory this way comes.

F.E.A.R has long been rumored but never confirmed, but now avid fans can rest easy as they await the web-only promo film. Monolith, the developer behind the F.E.A.R franchise was hiring for a ‘next generation console title’ last year, but no further details were released. But does this mean the third game in the series will not have a PC component?
