We have some great new footage in anticipation for The Last of Us. This is a great bit of game play footage showing the infected up close and personal in a few instances. It also displays a bit of the weapon crafting available. You also see Joel use some environmental elements like loose bricks to dispatch foes. Is it me, or are the infected blind? This may be due to the AI configurations not being fully tweaked, or maybe they are in fact blind to some degree. Either way check out some The Last of Us Footage:

According to reliable sources, News Corp. has nearly completed it’s sale of IGN gaming to Ziff Davis and it’s parent company J2 Global. The price of the sale is still a mystery, however in 2005 News Corp. paid $650M for IGN. Sources say however that Ziff Davis will be paying considerably less this time around.

IGN operates numerous sites including askmen.com, gamestats.com, gamespy.com, and of course IGN itself. J2 Global currently owns properties like pcmag.com, geek.com, etc.

IGN has been on the market for the past six months after a failed attempt to spin off. The sale is being compared to another News Corp. sale in 2011 that unloaded the failed social media outlet MySpace.

Update: It appears as if the deal has been finalized. Ziff Davis now owns IGN gaming. No firm sale price was given. However, sources say it was less than the $100M that News Corp. was initially asking for. We hope that all of the IGN staff stays intact during the transitional period.

Sony has been revving up it’s marketing engine as of late. They were even cool enough to let us get a look at the God of War: Ascension Super Bowl Commercial early.

From Ashes is a live action trailer depicting Kratos prior to becoming the Ghost of Sparta. A gesture of this nature indicates Sony has large expectations for God of War: Ascension in terms of sales. The really neat thing about seeing the God of War: Ascension “From Ashes” trailer here is that it’s the extended cut. Football fans (and the women that watch the Super Bowl for the commercials) are only going to see approximately one minute of the action come Sunday.
