Legends of Pegasus Teaser Trailer Implores You To Forget Your Sins

A 4X strategy title always has to have an over dramatic title(Sins of A Solar Empire is perhaps the best title for a 4X RTS hybrid). Novacore released a trailer for the upcoming 4X turn based strategy title Legends of Pegasus. The trailer is only showing a group of ships moving towards a planet. I like that the tagline in the end says "Forget your Sins". Legends of Pegasus is due out Q2 2012. Trailer after the jump...

Max Payne 3 Trailer #2 - Max Goes To Sao Paolo

Rockstar released a new trailer for Max Payne 3. This trailer shows Max going to Sao Paolo and gives a little back story on why he's there. It is interesting they are making Max Payne 3 a lot more cinematic(Rockstar are known for using lots of in engine cutscene). The previous Max Payne games have used in game cutscenes sparingly with the focus on the comic book style narration in between missions. Max Payne 3 releases for the PC on May 29th 2012. Watch the trailer below...

Jagged Alliance Online Now In Open Beta - Free To Play Tactical MMO

Not to be confused with Jagged Alliance: Back In Action, JGO is a free to play online version of the classic turn based tactics game. They're calling it a Free Tactical MMO. It's a browser based game and once it's out of beta, you'll get to purchase high powered weapons and load outs for gold bars that you purchase using real money. I'm not sure if I like that. All the items and such are unlocked in the open beta. Check out the walk through video they made...
