"Turns out Dragon Age: Origins is suffering from the Section 8 complex insofar that PS3 gamers will be left in the gutter. News about the Halo movie have surfaced, or more-so why the movie itself won't be surfacing. A new debut trailer was recently made available for the innovative new Aspyr shooter, DreamKiller and id Software's Rage, and Nintendo announced that they are going to win back hardcore gamers with an inflatable horse. Way to go Nintendo, you really know how to hit all the right notes for keeping the fans pleased. These stories and more in the Blend Games Weekly Recap for August 15th."

"Here is a brand new video of Section 8 an original Ip from developers Timegate Studios and publishers SouthPeak Interactive. It is a futuristic FPS where the main protagonist, Alex Corde is suited up in an armour that provides him with regenerative health capabilities and the allows for the absorption of enemy damage. Where have I seen this concept before? It has a new feature called "burning in" where you essentially sky dive off of a ship in the atmosphere (A La Star Trek) and into the battle, instead of the traditional respawn. This allows the player to pick a spot on the map and land there, right back into the action. This game is set to release for both the XBOX 360 and Games for Windows platforms. I can't wait to "Jump In" (pun intended).

Speaking of jumping, how about hitting the jump to check out this behind the scenes story clip from the creators!"
