Bethesda Softworks and Dark Horse Comics today announced a three-issue Comic Book series based on id Software’s Highly-Anticipated RAGE Video Game will be available in North America and the UK on June 22, 2011.
March 11, 2011 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, and Dark Horse Comics today announced a three-issue comic book series based on id® Software’s upcoming RAGE® video game. This original miniseries is being written by Arvid Nelsion, the acclaimed creator of Rex Mundi, and penciled by Andrea Mutti (DMZ). The cover art is being created by Glenn Fabry, best known for his work on Hellblazer and Preacher. Set prior to the events in the game, the comics are an extension of the RAGE universe and will provide numerous insights into the game’s storyline. The first of the three comics will be available in North America and the UK on June 22, 2011.
This comic series, developed with the direct participation of RAGE’s creative director, Tim Willits, presents a new twist on the post-apocalyptic near future as one woman discovers that the survival of humankind doesn’t necessarily mean the survival of humanity. The Earth has been devastated by a collision with an asteroid, with a tiny fraction of the population surviving in life-sustaining Arks buried deep below its surface. Those who survive emerge to find a wasteland controlled by a global military dictatorship called the Authority. But a rescued scientist learns that the Authority has lied to her and the other survivors about how this new world came to be.
Forums throughout the internet have been buzzing with praise over the game Metro 2033. If you are one of these people, you'll be happy to hear that a sequel in the works.
According to the internet rumor-sphere, THQ (publisher behind Red Faction and UFC Undisputed) has just confirmed the sequel to Metro 2033, and it is currently being developed with an extra gimmick - that's right Metro is going to the 3D. They didn't offer many other details on the yet-to-be-announced project but did offer some small tidbits during an interview with gaming magazine CVG at E3 2010. Core Games VP, Danny Bilson stated to CVG that the sequel is one of four, THQ, titles planned to release with some sort of 3D functionality. Check out the quote below but between you and me I could care less about 3D and what it has to offer, glasses were replaced by contacts for a reason - now these publishers want us to go backwards in time and wear glasses for enjoyment; oh the irony. Sony has already come out with guns blazing into the 3D atmosphere but the Xbox 360 creator has kept quite on whether or not full-dimensional support will be coming sometime in the future.

Designed as a premium quality, wired headset for Xbox 360 gamers, the SteelSeries Spectrum 5xb has XL-sized, hear-through cloth ear cushions that fit comfortably around the ear.

A retractable, unidirectional microphone is featured on the entire SteelSeries Spectrum headset line, making the voice communication for Xbox LIVE users adjustable, convenient and clear. As a familiar SteelSeries feature, the microphone can be stored in the left earcup when not in use, while a control on the included Spectrum AudioMixer independently adjusts in-game audio and microphone volume.

As the entry-level, wired headset designed for Xbox 360 gamers, the SteelSeries Spectrum 4xb is a lightweight headset featuring XL-sized, cloth covered foam ear cushions that surround the outside of the ear for long session comfort. The circumaural design enhances the gaming experience through carefully adjusted sound reproduction. Similar to the Spectrum 5xb version, the Spectrum 4xb also features the signature retractable microphone and an optimized soundscape for gaming.
SteelSeries Spectrum AudioMixer
SteelSeries introduces a new Xbox 360 mixer alongside the introduction of the Spectrum headsets. When sold separately, the Spectrum AudioMixer allows any headset with a microphone and 3.5mm jacks to function with Xbox 360 gameplay and Xbox LIVE chat.
