Another one of Epic Games’ upcoming games, in addition to Gears of War 3, is Bulletstorm. It’s likely to be one of the other games that Cliff Bleszinski was going to introduce last Thursday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Bulletstorm is actually being produced by People Can Fly, the developers of Painkiller, who were acquired by Epic Games in 2007. Game Informer revealed their May 2010 cover issue, which featured Bulletstorm on the cover.
You can see the Bulletstorm cover art here on gameinformer.com, along with the following brief information on it:
"Bullet-who? The latest issue of Game Informer Magazine answers that question in a big way, with a world-exclusive look at People Can Fly’s upcoming shooter, Bulletstorm. As the name suggests, players will take on hideous mutants in a flurry of lead, all the while racking up combos that encourage variety over headshot after headshot. It’s impressive stuff, and after reading our 10-page feature you’ll have an idea why Epic Games bought a majority stake in People Can Fly after seeing it demoed for the first time."
Watch for more details in the May issue of Game Informer or on Monday night’s rescheduled appearance of Cliff Bleszinski on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that God of War III will be available in North America on Tuesday, March 16, 2010. SCEA also confirmed and released the final box art for Kratos’ new PS3 action-adventure. God of War III will be available in a standard edition (pre-order here) and God of War III Ultimate Edition (pre-order here).
See the final box art for God of War III here (both the regular and Ultimate Edition).
The PS3 High-Definition remastering of the original PS2 God of War and God of War II, the God of War: Collection, has had its price cut from $39.99 to $29.99. Now is a great time to get it at that price. The PS2 originals look great in HD and at 60 fps. Visual and lighting enhancements were done and Trophies have been included as well. Awesome deal to revisit the saga of Kratos before diving into God of War III.
The release date for God of War III in PAL regions is still to be confirmed. The PlayStation Blog Europe says Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is aiming for the same release week as North America.

Having a tough time finding all the hidden messages in The Conduit? Part of the fun of playing The Conduit is tracking all the messages down, but it could be frustrating if you missed one or two throughout the whole game. Here are the locations of all of the hidden messages. There are 42 hidden messages throughout The Conduit. Mission 2 doesn’t have any hidden messages (since you aren’t equipped with the All Seeing Eye in that mission) and the final mission, Mission 9, doesn’t have any hidden messages either.
See all the hidden messages to be found in The Conduit here (with video clips).
You can get an idea of where the messages are located by playing a video clip, available for each mission. The hidden messages are listed in the order they are found in each mission, so that should help you find any you may have missed.
If you want to get the last cheat unlock, "Fiery Death," and see the final art gallery (Gallery 6) showing the unused locations of The Conduit, you’ll still have to track down all the Data Disks in addition to finding all of the hidden messages.
Now decipher what it all means…

2K Games today announced details of the multiplayer gameplay coming in BioShock 2. Digital Extremes is developing the multiplayer portion of BioShock 2.
From 2K Games:
“The fans asked for a multiplayer experience and we answered,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “With Digital Extremes delivering a multiplayer experience for BioShock 2 that features all of the things that make BioShock unique, we’re holding ourselves to a high standard so that we can deliver the depth and variety that fans of the BioShock universe demand.”
Multiplayer in BioShock 2 provides a rich prequel experience that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction. Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.
Key features of the multiplayer gameplay:
• Evolution of the genetically enhanced shooter – Earn experience points during gameplay to earn access to new Weapons, Plasmids and Tonics that can be used to create hundreds of different combinations, allowing players to develop a unique character that caters to their playing style.
• Extend the Rapture fiction – Players will step into the shoes of Rapture citizens and learn more about the fall of Rapture as they progress through the experience.
• See Rapture before the fall – Experience Rapture before it was reclaimed by the ocean and engage in combat over iconic environments in locations such as Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, all of which have been reworked from the ground up to deliver a fast-paced multiplayer experience.
• FPS veterans add their touch to the multiplayer experience – Digital Extremes brings more than 10 years of first person shooter experience including development of award-winning entries in the Unreal® and Unreal Tournament® franchise.
BioShock 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC.
