Free DLC to provide closure to the controversial ending.
Those angered by the endings of Mass Effect 3 may finally get the closure they desire. Bioware has announced that this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC will be released to give fans “clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and insight on how your personal journey concludes.”
I'd rather go Tower Defense play.
Creating a South Park game is tricky business, no doubt. It requires equal parts great gameplay, fan service, and humor. What makes Tenorman’s Revenge especially interesting is that it manages to fail on all three fronts. Stiff controls, a lame story, and poor level design make this one of the few South Park stories that you’re better off skipping.
Doesn't Mr. Game & Watch deserve a full game to call his own?
This week on PB & Jason: Lies, deceit, evil twins, a wedding, and a funeral! No, no, not really. Instead, there's talk about Kid Icarus: Uprising! Nintendo's favorite angel takes on the armies of the underworld and also multiplayer vs. matches. What do I think about Pit's revival? Well, let's just say it inspired me to speculate about what could be done to bring back two other Nintendo franchises that are basically dead in the water at this point: Game & Watch and Balloon Fight. What kind of makeover would they get? You'll have to listen to find out!
The reboot will feature an '80s neon style.
Double Dragon has already seen several reboots over the years. There was the Game Boy Advance title, Double Dragon Advance, that released back in 2003, an XBLA HD version from 2007, and an iOS version released just this past year. All of them are based on the original arcade game, which turns 25 this year. Enter Double Dragon: Neon, the latest remake in the series.
Forgoing the traditional peripheral-based input, the upcoming downloadable title channels Amplitude and Frequency.
Today, Harmonix officially announced Rock Band Blitz for both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Rather than utilize the peripheral instruments that have made the series a hit, Blitz requires players only have a controller on the ready to play the beat-match title. Just like Amplitude and Frequency, Rock Band Blitz brings multi-track arcade gameplay that has players switching between instruments on-the-fly to replicate the song.
The unlikely crossover will be known by western audiences as Pokemon Conquest.
Back in December, Nintendo and Tecmo Koei revealed one of the oddest crossovers in video game history. Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition were to be combined into a unique turn-based strategy game for the DS. Today, Nintendo of America announced plans to bring the unlikely title to western audiences as Pokemon Conquest.
Prime members can now stream their content on Sony's console.
Amazon has announced that, as of this very moment, they have launched Prime Instant Video on the Sony PlayStation 3.
Journey is just that and then some.
At its core Journey’s focus is on something we do every day without thinking about it – walking. We walk around our homes, we walk to our cars, and some of us may even walk to where we are going throughout the day. Even those of us who are unable to walk with our legs find some other means of locomotion to trek to and fro. Basic movement to us is like breathing – we do it unconsciously even though it is an important aspect of life. So when I say that Journey is about walking, I am saying that Journey is about something we take for granted. It’s about what happens on our way from point A to point B.
The latest game with a Kickstarter campaign is Larry Laffer himself!
About six months ago, Replay Games announced an HD remake of the first Leisure Suit Larry game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, along with plans to remake the sequels at a later time. Since then, not much has been heard about the remake, until today. Larry Laffer's comeback will now be backed with a Kickstarter campaign.
