DICE and Electronic Arts have gone silent after revealing the changelog of the upcoming major update for Battlefield 3. And although there is no ETA as of yet, Daniel Matros has just revealed that he might be able to drop the patch date tomorrow. Not only that, but Daniel feels that DICE should be more pro-active when it comes to such things.

Mike Relm has created a weird – and at the same time interesting – rap/dubstep/electronic video remix for Mass Effect 3. Now I’m not a fan of this music genre but it’s cool to see the game’s voices in the actual song. The video cut is also pretty good. Truth be told, this video will leave you with a <<WTF>> expression in your face. Still, this is something that you don’t see everyday, so go ahead and watch it. Who knows, you might actually like it!

We were wondering whether we should write a performance analysis for Mass Effect 3 or not. You see, BioWare’s game has a lot of PC issues, and we should bring them to your attention. However, after finishing the game, we discussed about it and felt the need to talk about its ending and why we consider it a great ending. Yeah, Mass Effect 3’s ending is fine, so get over with it. Continue reading Mass Effect 3 Ending Is Fine So Get Over It→
A couple of days ago, we posted a Battlefield 3 video in which its creator used some Mario sound effects. It was great, but there was another similar video that passed under our radar. And it shouldn’t because it’s way better than the SuperField Bros. 3 video (at least in our opinion). YouTube’s member Omega52 used some sounds from Contra and Top Gun to simulate the game’s battlefield and the end result is fantastic. Check it out, it’s worth your time!

Crytek has released a proper version of their tech trailer that was showcased in this year’s GDC. This trailer showcases the new features that the engine supports. Now I’ll have to be honest here. Although it does look good, it isn’t the Crytek trailers that have been pushing the graphical boundaries. In other words, we’ve seen better but then again, we’ve seen and worse too. Enjoy!
