A new mission based DLC pack is on its way.
Deep Silver has announced a new DLC pack for Dead Island, titled Ryder White. The new mission-based pack will follow the story of the game's antagonist character and allow players to see the events of the main game from his perspective. The DLC pack will add several hours of gameplay to the title and will also include new weapon blueprints.
No word on whether an Xbox 360 edition is planned.
Just a few weeks ago developer Just Add Water delivered on their promise to rerelease Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath in glorious HD. Many gamers would have been content with seeing this underappreciated gem get a second chance on a new platform, but according to a tweet from their official Twitter account, the folks running Oddworld these days have further plans to spread the HD love by announcing Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee for an end of quarter two release.
These zombies ate my neighbors, so now they all need to die.
Until Lucasarts does something with their cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors, this is the true spiritual successor to the classic SNES/Genesis multiplayer zombie killing simulator. From the overhead perspective to the cartoony visuals and wacky weapons, this game brought warm, fuzzy memories to someone that spent hours with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. With weapon crafting, RPG stat building, and four player co-op, this is the game I would have wanted had the series continued past Ghoul Patrol.
The N64 was two, almost three generations ago, right?
I would call myself a gaming enthusiast – someone who can appreciate just about any type of game for its unique merits. As such, I rarely see any game as a complete and total waste; Zombii Attack is one of those rare exceptions. Surely, it'd be better off buried somewhere out in the desert next to the Atari version of E.T..
The Atelier series continues in May 2012. Click through for an official trailer!
Late Friday night, NIS America officially announced plans to bring Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland to both North America and Europe this May for the PlayStation 3. Meruru marks the conclusion of the Arland trilogy which includes both last year's Atelier Totori and 2010's Atelier Rorona.
It’s a shame these visuals were squandered on such a shallow game.
Given the touch screen of the 3DS, it’s no surprise that iOS game, Samurai Sword Destiny has made its way to the Nintendo eShop. What’s also unsurprising is just how shallow the experience is, given Destiny’s original home. With a combination of two level types, players will find themselves either slashing arrows and avoiding boulders during forced progression, or dispatching a variety of foes by continuously slashing back and forth until all enemies are defeated. It’s a mindless timewaster that doesn’t command its price.
Lower earning forecasts are forcing the company to put projects on hold for social ventures.
The rough game economy is continuing to show its impact on studios around the world. Cave, known for their hardcore, bullet hell shoot-'em-ups are exploring their options after lowering both six month and yearly earning forecasts. The company's 2011 fiscal year, which began in June 2011, was expected to bring 3,300 million yen in sales, but has since been reduced to 500 million yen ($6.5 million) due to industry stagnation and cautious retailers taking smaller orders.
Available for the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on March 6, 2012.
The game finally gets rated by the Games Rating Board.
They say that the third time’s the charm, and that definitely holds true for Blizzard. After submitting their highly-anticipated dungeon crawler Diablo III to the Korean ratings board two times and getting rejected, we can report that the third submission was a success. That’s right, you compulsive clickers out there—Diablo III has a rating in Korea.
Fun while it lasts, this unique puzzle platformer ends just as it's getting started.
It’s almost eerie how much Mighty Switch Force reminds me of an SNES game. It’s not bogged down at all by story, character development, or anything that normally keeps a game from moving forward. Players are dropped into a world with no explanation of who they are, how to use their abilities, or what they must do in order to complete the level. Despite all this, it comes naturally, as if you’ve played it before and already know exactly what to do; a sure testament to the game’s fantastic design. Unfortunately, like many an SNES game, it’s over all too quickly.
