Watch Dogs: Aisha Tyler's Role Revealed

Leave a comment

Comedienne and actress Aisha Tyler has spoken about appearing in Watch Dogs as a non-playable character before, and today Ubisoft has revealed exactly what her role is. Tyler loaned her likeness, voice, and name to her in-game self, and joins Watch Dogs as a citizen of Chicago, a random character for Aiden Pearce to track and protect from potential crime.

Check out Aisha in the game below, and then catch her appearance on IGN’s Up at Noon for more on her relationship with Ubisoft’s next big thing.

Dead Rising 3: Banana Hammocks and Body Parts

Leave a comment

Capcom Vancouver’s Dead Rising 3 is more interesting, disgusting, and entertaining every time we see it. Its reveal at E3 earned it mixed reactions, but the Xbox One launch game could really be something special. The new making-of documentary below reaffirms that — and IGN’s Rewind Theater dissects exactly what about the new weapons, suits, and gameplay elements get us stoked.

Watch them, read our SDCC impressions, and let us know what you think of Dead Rising 3 in the comments.

Soul Calibur 2 HD Online Announced

Leave a comment

During its San Diego Comic-Con panel today, NamcoBandai Games announced an HD, multiplayer-enabled remake of its classic fighting game, Soul Calibur II. It will release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall.

In the teaser trailer shown to attendees, Tekken’s Heihachi Mishima was shown — the presence of Nintendo’s Link, who guested in the Gamecube version, and McFarlane’s Spawn, who appeared in the Xbox version — were not present. Licensing expiration and platform competition could mean neither will be present.
