L.A. Noire Fills Three DVDs

Smile!

Showing the age of the Xbox 360 and DVDs, more and more games are arriving on multiple discs, such as Final Fantasy XII and Lost Odyssey. Mass Effect 2 had two discs and apparently Rage will too. Rockstar Games L.A. Noire will arrive on three discs when it’s released later this month on Xbox 360.

“To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs,” said Rockstar.

Rockstar have said that the game’s MotionScan technology which is responsible for making the facial expressions of the game’s characters life-like is responsible for the need for more space.

Mass Effect 3 Delayed Until Early 2012

Worlds take time to be built.

Anyone who was looking forward to playing Mass Effect 3 this year will be disappointed. Mass Effect 3 has been delayed into early 2012.

“Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012,” “The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone’s expectations. We’ll have more details about specific dates as we get closer to release.”

The note appeared on BioWare’s message boards.

Like Portal? Find Out Your Aperture Science Cooperative Testing Type Here. Contains Cake

Its time to become insane and have fun with science.

Welcome, test subject, to the Aperture Science Collaborative Disposition Test. With just a few short questions, this test will determine your personality-driven test resolution type, allowing you to further the cause of science with a compatible test subject.

Introduction

The following personality test was developed by Aperture scientists in the late seventies as a way to determine test subject compatibility for cooperative testing initiatives. The test was categorized UNSAFE by Aperture Laboratories in 1977, after every test subject who took the test became immediately insane from having so many unassailable truths and gut-wrenching personal secrets about themselves revealed at once. The test was placed in a locked strong box and secured in an abandoned sub-basement. This sub-basement was then filled with cement, and the doorway bricked over.

Upon rediscovery of the document last month, Aperture scientists felt the results were “inconclusive.” A further round of testing has been requested. And you can help! (Source)

Go here to answer seven questions to find out your type. Do it and get free cake at the end.

My result = Weighted Companion Cube.

Aperture Sciences Christmas Security Video Shows Hidden Portal 2 Secrets

Happy <Christmas>...

I went on the Aperture Science’s website just for fun earlier and it shows footage of a Christmas decorated room from a security camera. I’m sure most people have already seen this and when I did originally I never really thought much about it. But I noticed the two socks and the Portal 2 cubes on the Christmas tree so I thought I should watch it a while to see if anything unusual happens. From what I noticed there are two security tapes which both show a Christmas greeting at the end and play a Christmas Portal theme song.

Aperture Science Website has Started an Unknown Countdown Timer. Possibly Portal 2 or Steam Related. Early Portal 2 Release Revealed

Not long now... GLaDOS!

If you go to the aperture sciences website its home page is still christmas related but a hidden page reveals a countdown clock. This clock is counting down to an unknown event. If you work out the time it comes to around 5pm GMT, Friday, 15th April which would be around noon on Friday, 15th April in New York or Friday, 15th April, around 9am PDT for example.

What will be revealed is anyone guess but it’s likely related to the recent annoying Valve ARG (alternate reality game) campaign that’s been happening recently so this might all just be a clever marketing trick or it might reveal a new announcement like Half-Life 2: Episode Three, Half-Life 3, an early release date for Portal 2 on PC or a cake. Whatever the case its intriguing because ticking clocks are normally either a very good thing or a really bad thing.

Go here if you want to see the clock yourself.

Max Payne 3 Screenshots

Good to see Max with he's hair. I wonder how he loses it, stress maybe?

These are most of the images available for Max Payne 3 at the moment. I am looking forward to the game but some of the new settings don’t really seem to fit with the noir style of the previous games. Still its good to see a new Max Payne game, hopefully it will come close to the other games in quality.
