Electronic Arts is planning a major reveal on April 23, but it appears someone at Origin has gone and ruined the surprise. Blame the content management system and its sexy, irresistible Publish button. Crytek’s Crysis 3 briefly popped up on Origin in the wee hours before someone at EA said, “Oh, ****” and promptly removed it. But the Internet is always watching, and nothing can escape its all-seeing eyes and screen-grabbing hands.
And so, courtesy of the solemn net observers at...

Posted by G4TV on Apr 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment

Product listings for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC "Limited Edition" releases appeared briefly, along with a logo image featuring a NanoSuit-clad, bow-wielding hero-type.
It didn’t take long for the listing to be pulled down, but NeoGAF (via Destructoid) was quicker...

Posted by G4TV on Apr 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Capcom is going to be offering a high-end Premium Edition of Resident Evil 6 when the game launches in Japan on October 4, 2012, and it’ll be carring an insane price tag of 105,000 yen. At current conversion rates, that comes out to roughly $1,300 here in the United States (via Destructoid). It’s a Japan-only release, but U.S. residents who are willing to fork over that kind of scratch for a video game can probably afford the import costs as well.
The package includes a copy of the game...
