Brink Review by GameExplain

GameXplain Says: "Online shooters are without a doubt one of the biggest rages in this generation's gaming cycle. Becasue of this, publishers pointlessly shoehorn multiplayer modes into games that frankly just don't need it—at times sacrificing the overall quality of the end product just to check off a bullet point on the back of the box. Splash Damage's team-focused class-based shooter Brink is quite the opposite, it's a multiplayer game that's shoehorned around a story hoping to lure in gamers looking for next best thing."

Mass Effect 3 to Feature Kinect Support?

Cover art for the upcoming Bioware action RPG Mass Effect 3 has been found on EA's digital store and, rather surprisingly, it contains the "Better With Kinect" banner found on games which feature Kinect, but don't require it.

Given the source, the image is definitely legitimate but it could of course be a mistake. Bioware has talked in the past about implementing Kinect in Mass Effect 3. "We're not going to do a party game, we're not going to do Dance Dance Krogan for Mass Effect. The reality is it's going to have a really positive impact. Can we create a greater sense of immersion during conversations by using gestures? I think we probably could and I think that's where we'll explore." Bioware boss Greg Zeschuktold GamesIndustry.biz last year.

"There's that impediment of a controller but hardcore gamers are never going to give that up. It might be nice to see a hybrid of a controller used with additional gesture on the side for immersive elements."

This morning we simply received the above picture via email, taken from the EB in-store computer catalogue, but after calling EB directly we discovered that the bundle is being released on June 21 – pretty soon, considering we’ve heard absolutely nothing about the bundle to date."
