The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers) has a lot of fans on the PC and more recently through the Xbox Live Arcade. Today they have officially unveiled their third game for unknown platforms and the game looks to be some kind of frantic co-op platformer with things going on everywhere. The game currently has no title, and platform/price specifics should be coming in the near future. Enjoy the trailer!
RUMOR: Bioshock 2 Details – Co-op, No Big Daddy
Update 2: This rumor has been debunked by 2K. We’ll bring you full detail as soon as we get our hands on the magazine ourselves.
Update: We’re going to run this one under “Rumor” until we get the magazine for ourselves.
As we mentioned earlier this week, the newest issue of Game Informer features a 10 page spread on Bioshock 2. The magazine is just beginning to make its way into consumers’ hands and, of course, they have been “kind” enough to post details all over the web.
From the details provided, Bioshock 2 is set to have some sort of co-op play, and will feature no Big Daddies. The story is set 7 years after the initial event in Rapture and follows a man named Jack Abbott, who has had his daughter kidnapped by a Big Sister. Abbott follows and tracks the Big Sister and upon confrontation gets knocked out and wakes up in the infamous Rapture. While searching for his daughter Abbott uncovers knowledge that the Soviets have discovered Rapture and plan to use its Atom against the United States. Jack proceeds to try to save the day, and his daughter in the process.
A host of new characters and even spliced up animals join the mix, along with some great new plasmids. Look for more details in the April issue of Game Informer on newsstands soon! Stay tuned to GPU for more on Bioshock 2!
April Game Informer Debutes Bioshock 2, Big Sisters
At long last we will finally get some hard facts on the highly anticipated Bioshock 2. Game Informer has just revealed the cover of their April issue and it features (as you can see above, full image below) a very creepy, more-agile-than-a-big-daddy Big Sister.
“Here it is! The April issue of Game Informer Magazine, featuring Bioshock 2! That’s right, the title that rocked the game world just two years ago is back and looking more amazing than ever. We’ve got a full 10-page spread with tons of exclusive info and art on the return to Rapture.”
We look forward to reading the new information, and seeing what consoles the game will be out for and when we can have it in our hands (given that they release all that in one article). Also if you have not yet, check out the Bioshock 2 viral site http://www.somethinginthesea.com/ it is very interesting. Stay tuned for more information!

RUMOR Debunk: Call of Duty MW2 List Discredited
Yesterday we posted up a list of potential Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 details said to be from a tester and found on the NeoGAF forums (Story), turns out the list has been debunked by Infinity Ward programmer Rayme Vinson (via 1Up). In a post on NeoGAF Vinson says the list was made up.
“”People. This list is fake, I mean; I can’t get into how-much-if-any is true, how much is false, etc (there’s a reason why companies “don’t comment on rumors”… it would NEVER F***ING END), but this list wasn’t put together by anyone with any insider information. There’s also some craziness that should red-flag this as “stuff I made up and wrote down” (like grass camo for snipers… that’s straight out of CoD4 MP).”
While some of the information may end up being true, the list was just made up by someone hoping the changes are made. Another rumor debunked, another job well done.
Capcom Hosting Resident Evil 5 Blood Drive in L.A.
In what seems to be a first for the gaming industry, Capcom has partnered with the American Red Cross to create a blood drive on March 13th, the day Resident Evil 5 launches, in Los Angeles.
“Capcom will usher in the launch of Resident Evil 5 (on Xbox 360® and PlayStation 3) on Friday, March 13th by partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive. On the way to pick up their very own copy of Resident Evil 5, gamers in the LA area will be invited to give back to the community by donating blood at the World of Wonder gallery on Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif. from 11 am – 5 pm. In addition, fans of the series will have the chance to get exclusive limited-edition Resident Evil 5 Blood Drive collectibles, win copies of the game, enter a raffle for one of several exclusive red Xbox 360® Resident Evil limited edition consoles and most importantly, do their part to help a good cause.”
The release also mentions that there will be kiosks set up running Resident Evil 5 so you can play a bit before picking up your own copy. Fans who donate will receive special RE5 items created exclusively for the event including hand-stylized posters, bumper stickers, and chances to win copies of the game as well as the limited edition red Re5 Xbox 360. So if you are in the L.A. area on March 13th, head out and donate to a good cause and pick up some cool RE5 stuff!
RUMOR: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Details Leaked?
UPDATE: List has been discredited, Story.
A poster on the NeoGAF forums (Bumblebeetuna) has put up some interesting information, apparently a post was put up on the Twitter suggestion page for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that was from an alleged playtester with details about the game. Sure I would just look the other way and condemn this as a fake as well, but the poster was banned and the post was deleted immediately. Take the list below with a grain of salt, but it is interesting.

Bioware Opens Montreal Studio, Developing Mass Effect 2
In an interview with GameDaily EA Vice President of Communications Jeff Brown and Bioware CEO Ray Muzyka shared some interesting news. EA has given over control of their Montreal studio to Bioware to create Bioware Montreal. The goal is to have around 30 people at Bioware Montreal and about 15 of those from Bioware’s Edmonton studio that worked on the original Mass Effect. The primary focus of the new Montreal studio will be to work on Mass Effect 2.
“”We’re really excited about it, and we think it’s going to be a huge opportunity to tap into the talent base in Montreal while supplementing our existing teams in Edmonton and Austin, which are doing some great stuff on all the other projects BioWare’s working on,” Muzyka said.”
Muzyka also mentioned that Bioware is continuing to work on Dragon Age: Origins, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mass Effect 2, and some “super secret projects.” Stay tuned for more on GPU!
Lost Planet 2 Announced by Capcom
Yes, we know, a bit late on this news but we couldn’t seem to find a version of the trailer from Capcom that worked. *Ah-hem* Capcom has officially announced Lost Planet 2, the sequel to the Xbox 360 (timed) exclusive Lost Planet. You can check out the announcement below (thanks to gamevideos). Is it just us, or is Capcom on a roll lately?
Resident Evil Reboot? Series Overhaul Coming After 5
With Resident Evil 5 still a few weeks out, it seems like an odd time to talk about the series’ sixth installment, but that didn’t stop producer Jun Takeuchi from mentioning a key note about the franchise’s future in an interview with 1Up.
“In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game’s producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable Resident Evil 6. That’s not to suggest that there’s anything wrong with the evil at hand. Quite the opposite; it’s awesome fun, and we’ve beaten the game from beginning to end, and have a week’s worth of detailed, insider info for you to enjoy”
Interesting indeed. One of the main complaints with RE5 is that the control scheme is too last generation and that Japan has fallen behind the times with control schemes. This tidbit uncovered by 1Up shows some conformity and possibly a re-work of the mechanics for Resident Evil 6 and beyond.
