Fans of old-school Capcom games will be delighted.
With a rough target of "this Winter," Capcom has announced it will be bringing six arcade titles to North America and Europe.
A visually stunning experience that is accentuated by its intriguing gameplay.
A few days ago, a demo from Hudson arrived at our door for their upcoming title, Lost in Shadow. The demo covers the first few introductory levels as well as the first 9 levels of the tower that the story's protagonist must climb to reach his body in the real world.
Team 17 continues to dazzle us with mediocrity in their latest remake.
Franchise necromancer, Team 17, is back and they want you to play their latest reiteration of a game they already made in the '90s. Alien Breed 2: Assault is a semi-fixed camera shooter that doesn’t try to do anything fancy and stays painfully true to the original Amiga classic. Like most in Team 17’s library, it’s a value priced game with equally low production that tries to do exactly what the game before it did with just a couple new features added on, primarily, Survival Mode.
It's Fallout 3 with a better story.
I guess Ron Perlman wasn’t joking when he said, “War never changes.” At the very least it seems to stay pretty consistent in Fallout: New Vegas, the sequel to Fallout 3 the 2008 video game of the year. Rather than developing the game in-house, as they did with 3, Bethesda Studios turned over the production of the game to Obsidian Entertainment, the spiritual successor to the original creators of the Fallout franchise.
Bowling doesn't translate well into a videogame.
The sport of bowling is a social game, often played with friends when knocking back a few beers. It's a great alternative to an evening movie if there's nothing good playing at the local theater, though the enjoyment of it is mostly dependent on the group. The experience just can't be replicated in a bowling videogame.
I could've sworn I've seen a reddish-purple dragon in this game, too.
It looks nice out today. I think I'm going to go to town, perhaps meet up with some friends. Leaving my room, suddenly, it hits me. POW!
Cutscene.
Well, now I know some random person I've never seen before is unhappy and needs help in one random area. Guess I'll leave the building. Then, it hits me. Pow!
After Dark
I decided I'd finally attend one of those various midnight openings to see how well received Kinect was at various retailers opening to sell the device at Midnight. Since the device is a bit different than what's out there for video games, I figured it would be interesting to get a good view of the crowds and to see if anything special was going down for the launch.
How long until Love Kinection actually gets made?
Ok! To celebrate the November 4th launch of Kinect, I thought I'd create a podcast that's nearly all about Kinect, like I did with the Move!
Harmonix has officially left the Guitar Hero series in the dust.
Harmonix continues to impress with their latest mainline entry of the Rock Band series. Rather than revolutionizing the genre through complete and total change, they have managed to keep the same general structure while adding the brand new Pro mode that brings players closer than ever to truly playing the instrument they are emulating. As a matter of fact, if players choose to take on the Expert variant of Pro mode, they will actually be truly playing the exact notes that comprise the song. Couple this with keyboard support and an eclectic set list and you have the best rhythm game available on the market.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a game with a simple story premise, odd technical issues and lots of repetitive gameplay. But it is also one of the most visually striking, well-acted and memorable games I have ever played.
It is a rare occurrence these days to come across a game that truly feels unique, and while Enslaved: Odyssey to the West definitely borrows from other games that have come before it; I feel it is safe to say Ninja Theory has definitely made something original.
