In the future, humanity will adopt an en masse predilection toward gray-on-gray architecture and oversized weaponry.
Video Blips:
• This Gears of War 3 trailer features a band of brothers (and a sister) standing their ground against a Locust onslaught. I don't think the veins in Fenix's neck can bulge out any farther. [GameVideos]
Continue after the break for a character profile from Splinter Cell: Conviction, further gameplay footage of Dead to Rights: Retribution, and some clever banter from Sam & Max: The Penal Zone.
• Tom Reed, head of the shadowy Third Echelon group, has a bone to pick with Sam Fisher. Apart from the TV-wrestler voice work, he sounds like your typical blame-slinging politician. [GameTrailers]
• Neo-noir clashes with John Woo-style gun battles in Dead to Rights: Retribution. I, for one, am a big fan of exotically-accented game developers describing ways to kill people.
• Witty one-liners and unsubtle humor abound in this clip of Sam & Max: The Penal Zone. Perhaps we'll finally be able to discern if Max derives from actual rabbit stock or not.
