Games
Video games… the bane of Jack Thompson and concerned parents everywhere. Fortunately we know better and absolutely love games. Here at Unfinished Man, you’ll find the latest videos, previews, reviews, and anything else even vaguely related to games, the gaming industry, and the rock-star game developers that create said games.
Finally, we get a chance to see Connor in action in this Assassin’s Creed 3 world premiere gameplay trailer. Like Ezio and Altair before him, Connor appears to have a wide range of moves and battle techniques, all with animations far better than the previous titles in the franchise.
This trailer is a first for AC3 in more than a few ways. We finally get a chance to hear Connor’s voice (which sounds awesome) and we get a chance to see him kicking some red coat ass. There’s one problem though; continue reading →
The release of Max Payne 3 is just around the corner, and I’m feeling a bit weird about the whole thing. It’s been so long since Max Payne 2 hit store shelves that I almost can’t believe someone is reviving the franchise. They are though, and Rockstar Games will release Max Payne 3 on May 16th. In the spirit of violence, noir dialogue, and Max’s enduring physique, I present this collection of new screenshots.
If these new screenshots have one thing in common, it’s that they all look absolutely fantastic. Max has gotten a bit older, but like a continue reading →
After watching this new Hitman: Absolution gameplay trailer “introducing” Agent 47, I’ve come up with another theory about the game. No, not a romance theory this time… instead I’m talking about Absolution’s myseriously absent release date. I believe that in the next little while, IO Interactive is going to go “surprise!!” and announce that the game is mere days away from release. Believe me, it’s inevitable.
If you can believe it, this new trailer actually shows a ton of actual gameplay footage, and from more than just one level. We see a wide range of landscapes and enemies as Agent 47 kills people with continue reading →
Ever since I played Looking Glass’ Thief series of games years ago, I’ve yearned for a modern successor to carry on the fine tradition of sneaking, thieving, and killing. With Arkane Studios’ Dishonored on the way, I feel a spark of hope re-kindled.
Garrett is long gone (for now), and Corvo doesn’t exactly seem like much of a thief, but based on these new Dishonored screenshots, he does appear to continue reading →
As much as I complain about the way that IO Interactive has been marketing Hitman: Absolution, I can’t help but get sucked in by these fantastic “ICA File” videos they’ve been putting out. They’ve only released two so far, but both of them have gone a long way towards calming my fears.
If you’ve read any of my previous Hitman related posts, you’ve probably notice that I like to ramble about a continue reading →
It’s that time of year again, and game developers are announcing completely predictable sequels in full force. We get a sneak peak at sequels to games that have been done over, and over, and over again. This time we have a trailer for Crysis 3 by my favorite executive producer, Cevat Yerli. In a shocking move, Cevat and his crew are bringing back Prophet as the main playable character in Crysis 3. These guys really know how to spice things up and keep us guessing until the last moment.
The trailer starts us off with a brief introduction by Prophet explaining his reason for being in a giant overgrown New York City, and what he plans to do there. I’ll give you a hint… it includes continue reading →
I’ve loved the Max Payne series of games since Remedy released the first one so many years ago. It had that perfect combination of dark humor, action, and fantastic storytelling that gripped me from start to finish. Though it’s been a long time coming, and is being developed by another studio, I’m excited with the direction that Rockstar Games is taking the series with Max Payne 3. This new trailer shows off all the work they’ve done to improve the bullet time dynamic that continue reading →
Now this I didn’t expect. With so many predictable sequels in the works, I had almost forgotten that some companies are actually working on new properties! Dishonored is a first person “shooter” from Arkane Studios where you play a supernatural assassin named Corvo. Once the personal bodyguard of the beloved empress, you were charged with her murder and sent to a continue reading →
Sometimes, after spending countless hours working on Unfinished Man, I ask myself, “why the hell did I agree to this?”. It’s a lot of work, you know. Then a great opportunity comes up, like say… an interview with Elias Toufexis, and I’m reminded why I love this site so much.
Elias Toufexis is the actor behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s Adam Jensen character. He’s also played numerous other roles in film, television, and video games, such as Splinter Cell: Conviction and the Assassin’s Creed 2+ games. In the interview, Elias answers questions about his time working on Deus Ex, and a bunch of other odds and ends related to his career and current projects. So without further ado…

I’m a big fan of Hawken. Adhesive Games has released quite a few trailers over the last 6 months, and I think that each one is better than the last. This new one from PAX East trailer is no exception, showing tons of new gameplay footage set to an incredibly awesome musical score. Imagine the world of Blade Runner, with the music of an epic film like The Last of the Mohicans. It’s a fantastic combination, and the trailer just oozes quality.
The Hawken Cinematic trailer begins with footage of what looks like a gigantic mothership, and then pans down to the planets surface. We see a sprawling world… a world filled with smoke, mechs, and continue reading →
