Every story has a beginning and a second act, so now we must make ends meet (or not meet… or be but not be) and savor the present as tomorrow is closer than we initially expected and you never know when things will change at the drop of a hat.. or was it a shoe?

Anyway, on with the show!

Puzzle Agent Review

Erasers. Erasers? Eraaaaaaaseeeers!

Welcome to a new installment of “Explain that Telltale Games Release!”. This time around we have a game that is easier to do a breakdown of: Nelson Tethers, Puzzle Agent. The name says it all: you’re an FBI agent (as in Federal Bureau of Investigation) named Nelson Tethers… and you solve puzzles for a living. You’re even an EXPERT puzzle solver, just to make it be extremely clear that when puzzles are the problem, there’s only ONE guy that can solve them. Think of this as a cross between a bit of Monkey Island and some Professor Layton sprinkled here and there and you’ll get the idea.

[E3 2011] God of War: Origins HD Collection

We knew about this for a while since it was leaked from an Asian “soon to be released” list of games but it’s nice to have official confirmation. You’ll get Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta on a single Bluray disc with Dualshock 3 controls (two analogs sticks, just as you’ve liked it on the PS2-PS3 all this time!), trophies, 3D stereoscopic presentation (for your 3D stereoscopic displaying TV) and bonus content. No price has been set but a release of 9-13-11 has been set on a blood covered stone protected by titanium chains. Just to clarify, that’s September 13, 2011 for the international gamers visiting the site as, last time I checked, the year has still not grown a new and improved month.

[E3 2011] My Bioshocks, let me show (and mention) them!

An interesting piece of information we acquired during Sony’s E3 2011 press conference was how Bioshock Infinite on PS3 would be different from the 360 offering: thanks to the huge space available for developers on Bluray discs, and as a thank you for the support shown in the past to the franchise, all retail discs will include a free copy of Bioshock (the first one) for your entertainment! This is even greater news for me since I didn’t get a chance to play the DLC challenges before selling my copy of the original and now when I buy Infinite an extra $10 will get me several hours of entertainment AND even more trophies for my collection.

E3 2011 trailer after the jump.
