Daav from NoobFeed.com takes a virtual stab at Spec Ops: The Line, after playing the PSOne version in the ages of stone. The modern adaptation of the series is sound, quite like its premise and story. Yet, there doesn't seem to be lot to be overly excited about. Note however that it still seems like a competent shooting gallery.
Gamesta.com has a ton of things to keep you entertained through the weekend and for weeks to come. If you're not too busy with Steam's free weekends of both Civilization V and Red Orchestra 2, then here's a way to give a slew of indies a chance as well.
"ith a history as rich and varied as the Playstation’s, upcoming fighter/massive Super Smash Bros. clone Playstation All Stars is really shaping up to have a potentially massive library of cool people to play around with. We don’t know exactly who’s in it yet apart from the officially revealed characters, so what better time than now to draft up a dream roster filled with Playstation’s greatest mascots, heroes and generally random characters?"
Are you a genre snob? Do you look down on other games and dismiss them if they're not "hardcore" enough? What does it mean to be "open-minded" about gaming? These are some of the questions Cassidee Moser of Leviathyn.com sounds off on in an editorial about genre snobbery.

"Tequila Works has today released a brand new trailer for Deadlight, the much anticipated cinematic zombie puzzle platform videogame. Deadlight is set to be published by Microsoft Studios exclusively for Xbox LIVE Arcade later this year."
"Sonic is about the primal joy of speed. Scenery collapses into a blur as the blue hedgehog reaches maximum velocity, pinging across a network of springs and ramps. It’s an endearing experience. Going this fast is fun. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II invites players to surrender to the game’s frenetic level design, to let it wade in the spectacle of going really fast."
After the disappointment of Episode One back in 2010, can SEGA redeem themselves with the second? The developers promised to fix the problems that players had with the first game while adding many new features into the mix.

Marco from NoobFeed says: Perhaps the biggest difference between BF3 and MW3 in their single-player campaigns is simply that Activision is much more exciting - the pace and plot is a completely different level. It is a game full of over-the-top action, a constant spectacle that consistently tries to outdo itself by endlessly upping the ante, not at all lending asingle moment of rest or downtime to recover the insanity of it all.
"Activision has today launched the official videogame of the new Men in Black motion-picture release, Men in Black: Alien Crisis. It’s your turn to suit up as one of the unnamed associates to eliminate the scum of the universe, using an arsenal of futuristic weaponry, incapacitating devices and space-age technology."
