Ubisoft have just released this video of Far Cry 2 running on their new Dunia game engine. A word of warning though, if you are expecting a action packed video don’t look here, its pretty much a video showing off the engine. If you didn’t know any better you’d think Far Cry 2 was an African safari sim. The fire at the end is rather interesting - is Far Cry 2 going to do for fire what the original Far Cry did for water?

Yahtzee doesn’t hold back today, as he gets stuck into this RPG. I had a feeling this isn’t his genre of choice, too. Be sure to keep watching after the review for some additional funny.
Oh Atari, what are you doing? Is Alone in the Dark 5 an urban exploration game? Okay - maybe that’s a bit harsh - there are a few monsters near the end of this visually stunning video, but the part where the protagonist hacks up a table out of sheer boredom is very worrying. On the upside, the look down at your belt inventory system is a brilliant idea that should have been used years ago. Let’s just hope Atari rushed this video out, and the final game won’t be quite so sparse.
Ever wonder what modders do with all your useless Xbox hard-drives?

“Forgive me father, for I have sinned.”
“What did you do my child?”
“I spawn camped in a ladder match.”
“Ohh, a very serious crime my child. As penance you must watch what could have been, but never was - Goldeneye on the 360.”
*weeping* “Thank You father.”
You may love or hate them, but news of a Penny Arcade game sure did stir up some hope – could gamers themselves help create a truly great game? Thankfully the quiet spell has been broken, and we have a couple of new in-game videos to show you. I have to say, the game is looking quite pretty with the straight-out-of-the-comic style. Check after the jump for a few more videos of the game in action.
If you can’t get enough of teaser trailers that show nothing but CG animation, then the first video from Command and Conquer’s first foray into the FPS world will be right up your ally. With today’s graphical horsepower, let’s hope what we see here isn’t too far from what the game will really look like.
Like most gamers, we can’t get enough of the news spewing forth from Nintendo regarding Super Smash Bros Brawl. This video explains the ins and outs of some of the new characters and their home stages. Now, if only the release date didn’t keep getting pushed back…

Got a dark sense of humor and a hate for the mockery that is made of “scientific research” by the Japanese whaling body – maybe it’s time you were introduced to Harpooned. Harpooned is a game where you take on the roll of a Japanese Whaling boat hell bent on researching the lovable creatures.
The games creator Conor O’Kane developed the game to make people more aware of the current situation. When questioned about the controversy the game is stirring up Conor says:
“If people [are] offended by the game they should be even more offended by real whaling. I hope people make the next logical step and realise that reality is much worse than a video game. The more people tell their friends about how disgusting it is, the better … it puts more pressures on the whalers.”
If you are keen to see how many cans of pet food and whale burgers you can rack up in the name of science you can download Harpooned here.

It’s that time of the week again where our favorite reviewer rips into some poor developer’s sleepless nights with laced compliments and downright vitriol. However in this week’s review of Crysis, our beloved Yahtzee seems to bestow some degree of praise upon the game. Come again?
