We recently attended a Darksiders II preview event in San Francisco to see what Vigil Games have in store for the next Horseman of the Apocalypse, Death. Check out our preview!
We recently got a sneak peek at the upcoming new Ghost Recon Future Soldier from Ubisoft. Check out our in-depth preview for a closer look at the action!
Read the AusGamers review to find out if importing Star Wars: The Old Republic is worth the hassle, or if you should wait for the local release to get your Force on!

Metro 2033: The Last Refuge Gameplay Trailer #2
Length: 1:50
"compelling characters, excellent scripting and voice-acting" er...did you hear the voice acting in the trailer? That's some of the WORST voice acting in any video game ever made. Obviously you can tell stragiht away the voice over is by someone on their dev team rather than an actual paid actor. It's pretty common with games from that part of the world to have horrendously bad voice acting, and I simply can't understand how ausgamers can say the voice acting is exellent from what we have seen....i mean look at that game that came out last year Darkest of Days.....a great game ruined by horrible voice acting.
The facial animation is abysmal as well. Worse than Mass Effect, which for reasons unknown to me, seems to get a lot of praise for its shitty facial animation.
How many previews do you see where games get trashed?
And that's not solely directed at ausgamers, for as long as i have read previews they have rarely ever put down games, even when its pretty obvious the game will be shit, hell there are times when you see a glowing preview one week, and the next the actual review totally shits on it.
Previews can be optomistic because occasionally a developer pulls the game out of mediocrity in the later development stages. Benefit of the doubt, etc?
How many previews do you see where games get trashed?
Probably very few, as the highly anticipated games - the ones that are typically shown in previews - are typically polished well for a media preview. Hell, look at a game like Alan Wake, where it's been in development hell for years so obviously something is wrong internally but the previews look awesome.
In addition, I'd reckon developers and publishers of really shit games hold their cards held close to their chest in the hopes that as many people will buy as soon as possible before it's discovered that their newly released game is dongs.
Stalker was fun for awhile but got really boring quite fast and combat to me was akward as guns never got high enough accuracy. At least that is how I remember it. Hoping that this plays better.
Stalker was a great game, there's even one bunch of lads who made a mod for it to fix the bugs not ironed out in 1.005 and add other good shit into the game. Read here:

Looking forward to this, but would have been better to see a preview of the PC version, not the crap xbox copy.
