Amazing Spider-Man Video Game "Web Rush" Mechanic

In this video they are showing off the new game mechanic called “Web Rush” I really like it. I think it will be nice to be able to control Spider-Man with more options, in previous game you just swing around and it's not as interactive as this looks. It also looks like the Web Rush mechanic will be used on boss fights and that seems like it will be really cool. When I've played Spider-Man games in the past I wished I could have used the webbing and stuff more in the boss fights.

The trailer also says players will have the option to take out enemies using stealth, I'm a huge fan of stealth games so I'm really looking forward to that. In Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions my favorite levels were the Spider-Man Noir levels because of the stealth game-play.

 

 

The game comes out June 26^th. I really think it's going to be one of the best Spider-Man games ever made. This might be a day one purchase for me. Are any of you guys going to buy the game?

Kara

Kara is a tech demo by Quantic Dream the creators of Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain. After Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream developed a new engine from scratch and that's what we are seeing in this video. 

I was blown away watching this, I actually almost teared up. Heavy Rain was one of the best games I've ever played and I would love to play whatever Quantic Dream comes out with next.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think. 

If you would like to read more about Kara you can go to the PlayStation blog.

Interactive Music Video

    I'm not really big into indie bands, nor had I any previous knowledge of who Arcade Fire was before today. To be honest I still don't really care, but I was interested when I learned that they, with Google's help, made an interactive music video.

    It asks you for the address of your childhood home and then using Google Maps makes a music video/internet browser collage out of it. A few things to be aware of though, it was designed to work on the Google Chrome browser primarily, and also the video will open about ten minimized windows on your computer that will maximize automatically as the video continues, but in all probability will just freeze up your slow computer.
