It is with a heavy heart that I announce the following news. Our current management team have decided to part ways on the Level3 project, and as such, we will not be producing any future episodes.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our cast and crew for their hard work, our colleagues and contacts for their help, but most importantly, our viewers and fans. Without the passion we share for gaming, and the feedback of our community, we would not have been able to sustain Level3 across 6 years and 247 episodes, so thank you.
Don't despair though. Many of us will return in the near future with a brand new project, so leave Level3 in your Facebook for now, check the website from time to time, and be ready for the grand announcement to come.
With Capcom announcing Resident Evil titles left right and center recently, it came as something of a surprise that a mainline Resident Evil title wasn't announced. With the third person shooter and 3DS games out within the next few months, what better time to announce Resident Evil 6 than right smack bang in the middle of January?
Very recently, I had the opportunity to try out Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in its full state over at Timeout, one of the last suburban arcades down here in Melbourne. And while I was very satisfied with the game, that surprisingly was nott the thing that impressed me the most about it. In fact, it were the elements outside of the game that got me the most curious.
When it comes to lightgun games this generation, Sega have been doing right with getting them out there. Previously arcade exclusives like Gunblade NY, LA Machine Guns & Ghost Squad have seen home releases, and they've even curated things like the surprisingly fun House of the Dead Overkill. So it's great to hear Sega sticking to the genre by announcing that House of the Deads 3 & 4 will be coming to PSN.
LEGO Batman was one of the more surprising entries in the TT Games LEGO pantheon. If only because it was the first to be a more somewhat original entry, and not based off anything prior, barring the base IP. So it comes as a surprise to see TT coming back to Batman, but also bringing along some of the other members of the Justice League in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
Remember how 2K's putting out an XCOM reboot this year? You might not, be it because you're still raging over its new direction or because of how hard Bioshock's been pushed lately. If you were a part of the former, then do I have some news for you. 2K today announced XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and it's set to take the series back to its strategical roots. And yes, it's the exact same name as the original X-COM game.
Level 100 and your wings are no not the highest level you can obtain in Gears of War 3, with the release of "Fenix Rising" on January 17th - not only will season pass holders (or for 800pts) get 5 new maps and character skins but the option to "Re-Up" - which has to be one of the worst terms made up for a game. Virtually identical to the CoD Prestige, now Gears players will be able to go through to level 100 up to 3 times (Red, Green & Gold) and receive exclusive weapon skins for each "Re-Up".
In this episode we reflect on some of 2011's PC games as bad boy in black Timmay gets served up in this episode with reviews of Total War Shogun 2, World of WarCraft Cataclysm and the Witcher 2.
