The  new DLC for The Binding of Isaac is out now, get ready for Wrath of the Lamb!

For those who haven’t played The Binding of Isaac, this is a top down dungeon game similar to classic Zelda games, but with randomly generated rooms and floors, comparable to the indie platformer, Spelunky. Due to the sheer number of bizarre and often disgusting power-ups and items, no playthrough is alike. It was my game of the year for 2011, hands down.

Now things will be different, and a whole lot better with the Wrath of the Lamb DLC where 5 new chapters have been added, tons of new monsters and over 100 new items. The game was already quite convoluted, but that didn’t stop Edmund McMillen from complicating things even further with new item stacks, lots of hard choices, and a whole new item type; Trinkets.

There's something unusual happening over at Trion Worlds.  Their new MMO, Defiance, isn't you're run of the mill, post-apocolyptic monster fest.  Nope, in this case, the game is timed to coincide with a TV show, one that will star characters you will meet within the game.

Watching this trailer I'm reminded of Matrix Online oddly enough, particularly when they went and offed Morpheus in one of their major patches.  Let's hope they don't pull any jump the shark moves with Defiance.  For the moment I'm intrigued with the idea of progressing major story in a TV series alongside an open persistent world game.  It could be a good time.

Defiance will be available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 (if you can believe it) April 2013.

Like watching monsters get smashed into nothingness? Well so do I! That’s why you’ll enjoy watching the new trailer for SEGA’s Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbits because it’s nothing but monsters getting turned to mush... Mmm yummy, I swear some of these monsters have popcorn guts. Potato Salad maybe? Don’t worry though, the mess is on the other side of the screen. (Gamegeexdoesnotenticetheeatingofmushedupmonsters.Norealmonsterswereendangeredinthemakingofthisarticle.Themakingofthetrailerhowever, saysotherwise)

This completely mindless side-scroller seems like a load of fun. Unless you get queezy watching things get mashed up. Anyways just watch the trailer below already!

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbits comes out sometime in 2012. Stay tuned for more information this coming week when Gamegeex goes to E3 to bring you the news!

Sega is pretty jazzed about announcing the worldwide soundtrack selections for their upcoming HD remake of Jet Set Radio.  The trouble is, even according to Sega themselves, this isn't really news.  Why not?  Because the majority of the songs in the game will be identical to the original.  Which isn't surprising, considering that means they don't have to relicense songs and spend more dev time updating the music in the game.  The surprise comes when we realize they thought this was something to be proud of.

I mean hey, at the time the soundtrack for the game was awesome, and today it's still pretty groovy.  But I'm not sure I would be proud enough to announce that I am not updating a key piece of a game. But that's just me.  Maybe this is less a remake and more of a port.

Jet Set Radio HD will be available on PC, PSN and XBLA sometime this Summer.  Roller blades not included.

Waking up wounded, tied upside down hanging from a chain?  Check.  Shivering, crying, running in fear for her life?  Check and check.  These aren't exactly the emotions you would expect from the butt-kicking, batt-shooting Lara Croft, but hey, a girl has got to start somewhere.

And this girl definitely starts off more human and real than in any other Tomb Raider game.  She even ends the trailer saying "I hate tombs."

Tomb Raider will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 March 3, 2013. 

Yesterday GTTV debuted the E3 2012 trailer for Bethesda's Dishonored.  This is one game I am completely excited about, and that isn't normally the case for Bethesda titles.  Something about their stiff characters and wooden combat makes me sad, until the games themselves charm me into loving them.  It looks like Dishonored is taking a decidedly different tack, borrowing some combat ideas from its rival Bioshock Infinite, and that is definitely a good thing.

Dishonored will be available on PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 October 9, 2012.

You may not know this about me, but acting is a passion of mine. I love the communication and the movement of characters that I get to pretend to be. My friend Joseph Aguilar aka Shoastyle and I love making movies together. I put the thought in his head about making video game shorts for Youtube, and that lead to the video below, which I hope will be the first of many  more shorts to come in the near future. We haven't expanded past his house or garage, but the power of the green screen is limitless.

In this short, my character the boyfriend is enjoying himself playing his Mortal Kombat until the succubus comes in and attempts to tear him away from his game. There is only one way to deal with this foul beast that prevents me from doing what I love. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Tonight Konami held their Second Annual Pre-E3 Show, wherein they get the jump on the rest of the industry by calling FIRST on the E3 news breakage.  Last year's event was all about Neverdead and MGS Rising, but this year's big reveal was definitely of a darker hue.  At the end of their presentation, Konami revealed the first ever trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Those of you who played the first game will be happy to see the return of Gabriel Belmont, but might be surprised to see how he has changed since last we saw him.  Times are tough when you fight the denizens of the dark, and it appears he's had to resort to becoming what he most hates in order to survive.  Although, to be fair, looking at this trailer, he has picked up some pretty awesome tricks.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself, and keep an eye out for a surprising cameo.  Mind, officially, blown.

You heard right, the new edition of the Humble Indie Bundle is here! Just like its previous bundles, you pay what you want for the games included, all the while helping to support charity.

However, if you’re just hearing about this for the first time, let me break it down simply for you. All games are cross-platform, and DRM-free. You’re able to set your own price, however, any price over the “average”, gets you extra perks. You also get to determine how much of the proceeds go to the developers themselves, and how much will be going towards charities like EFF and Child’s Play.

The games in this edition are absolutely mind-blowing masterpieces, and are definitely worth every.. single.. penny. Games included in the lineup this time around include: Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, LIMBO and Psychonauts, not to mention that paying over the average amount will also get you a copy of Bastion along with all the previously mentioned games, as well as their accompanying soundtracks.

A few titles for E3 have been leaked and this one will surely be a game I will follow till the moment it releases. Star Wars 1313 was announced and the name alone has me shaking in excitement! The game will be a third-person, action-adventure game and lean more towards the story of the bounty hunters rather than The Jedi or Sith. Finally, something a little bit different.

Not much information has been revealed about the game. The titles was featured on Game Trailers TV and all we really know is "Star Wars 1313 is about being a bounty hunter in the most dangerous place in the galaxy – Level 1313, “a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant.” I’m a huge Star Wars fan and going off of my knowledge, I hope to God “1313” stands for the alias, CT-1313, which was used by Boba Fett in the expanded universe. I ask for that because I really enjoyed the tale of Jango Fett in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and hope to play as another Fett because you know they’re pretty awesome.

Though, if I had to speculate based on that picture alone, which is really all we visually have for details, we're likely to play as someone we've never heard of, much like Star Killer from The Force Unleashed. From the looks of it, the game will take place during the reign of the imperial regime and looking at those spotlights, we're playing as another traitor, or since we're talking bounty hunters here, someone who doesn't really take sides. I also have to point out that with that much force; a shuttle and two fighters, someone ended up with more than they could bargain for...
