That doesn’t mean that the game is definitely going to happen, but it sure looks like the development ofEpic Mickey 2has gone well beyond the “purely theoretical” stages. There are several potential box arts here, as well as some of the titles being considered for the game (includingEpic Mickey 2: Return of the Mad Doctor,Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two,Epic Mickey 2: Mystery on Mean Street, and justEpic Mickey 2)....

Watch as a Japanese schoolgirl speaks in her native tongue while a 3DS slides about, the background moving fluidly in response to the motion. And then observe what happens when the screen lingers alittle too longon her skirt. Oh my. Just like its predecessor, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a western release....
I have to be quick about this. The Easter Bunny has me pinned down behind a crate of chocolate eggs. Who knew he’d be so well armed? Thankfully while he’s lobbing grenades around me I havethese fantastic game coversto look at. The friendly people of at the NeoGAF forums have started “The GAF Collection,” a bunch of photoshopped box art in the vein of the Criterion Collection. If these were real it would sell games faster than the Easter Bunny runs from my chainsaw attacks of death....

Mass Effect Galaxyhas (finally) hit the App Store. The comic-style game is priced at around five bucks and promises to give players a peek at two of the characters that will appear inMass Effect 2, as well as give “deeper insight into their motivations” inside the game’s universe. We haven’t had the chance to play the game yet (that will definitely happen this afternoon), but it appears to be a top-down shooter judging from the non-comic style image available on the App Store....

Yesterdaywe told you all aboutthe Square Enix publishedMindJack, but perhaps our prose was not enough to fully form a concrete idea of what the game would play like. Thank goodness for the invention of moving pictures; they solve this problem easily. Above you will find a peak at the gameplay for the body jumping third-person shooter. I have to say after reading all about it yesterday,seeing the trailers at E3and seeing this I am none too impressed....

Here are some newHellion: Mystery of the Inquisitionscreens to repent over. If you read other blogs, you may not have heard about this game because it seems that I’m the only writer who gives even a vague crap about the thing. Anyway, go look at the pretty pictures. Hellionis a first-person game set in the 13th Century and involves a lot of interesting religious stuff. You play a member of the inquisition who deals with all sorts of screwed-up demonic matters....
