Sony took the wraps of its much rumored next installment of its best selling God of War franchise with God of War Ascension. This time around, the game will be a prequel to the previous games and introduces multiplayer for the first time. We caught up with the Game Director of God of War Ascension, Todd Papy to get the juicy details in this exclusive video interview along with a first look a gameplay footage and screenshots.

Goichi Suda (aka Suda 51) has quite the storied history in gaming, from Killer 7 to No More Heroes to the recently released Shadows of the Damned.  But his latest one could be a bigger hit than all of them, WB Games' Lollipop Chainsaw.  In the game, you guide cheerleader Juliet Starling on a rampage against a horde of rock zombies, with her beloved boyfriend's head by her side.  So, yeah, it's weird.  But that's just part of the fun.

After making a huge splash on consoles last year (and we mean in bright red bloody colors), Mortal Kombat is just about ready to make its portable debut on the PlayStation Vita.  The game includes all the content from the original console game, along with online play, a number of exclusive Klassik Skins and a Challenge Tower that includes various touch screen games, including Test Your Slice (a Fruit Ninja variation) and Test Your Balance.

Once upon a time, the folks at United Front Games -- the developer behind ModNation Racers -- was assigned the task of bringing back Activision's True Crime series with an all new chapter.  But somewhere in the midst of the game's development, the publisher changed its mind, leaving years worth of work simply sitting on the table.  But not one to let, ahem, Sleeping Dogs lie, Square Enix picked up the project, changing its name but not its focus, and allowing United Front to finish up the project for action gamers to enjoy.  This August, the final product will arrive for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

It’s no surprise that literally every developer is trying something with zombies.  Activision is throwing a number of zombie-infested maps in its Call of Duty franchise; Capcom’s got more than enough undead roaming around between Resident Evil and Dead Rising; and so on.  But little did anyone realize what Sega would be doing with Yakuza, pitting zombies against gangsters in a battle for control over the city of Kamurocho.  While Yakuza: Dead Souls may not be as strong an entry as the previous games (its focus is much different), it’s still more fun than previously anticipated.

With its first three House of the Dead games, Sega pretty much kept to form, putting two unlikely heroes together to save the world from a zombie apocalypse.  Sure, the third game – which arrived on PlayStation Network a while back – introduced some awesome shotguns, but the status quo of “shoot everything that moves” remained intact.  So would the same go for House of the Dead 4?  Well, sort of.

In Boston, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s official cosplay girl Jessica Nigri was told to put on more clothes by PAX East 2012 officials. Her outfit, which you can see in this exclusive video interview below, was deemed too sexy for the public game show. Nigri talks about Juliet Starling and her new Suda 51 game Lollipop Chainsaw in the video below.
