EA has revealed the existence of new games being developed in the two series.
Fans of the Dead Space and Need for Speed franchises were teased last month - two separate listings were posted by BT Games for new titles in the series. The South African retailer had begun taking pre-orders on both Dead Space 3 and had a listing for Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2, a sequel to the 2005 iteration of the series. Of course, neither game had been announced at that time, but in the most recent financial briefing, EA has revealed that a new title in each franchise is in production.
I’ve been humbled by Fez. It’s clear to me now that I have not seen it all, nor have I played it all. Rather, I feel more confident than ever, thanks to this unique mind-bending puzzle platformer, that it is still possible to send gamers on a journey quite unlike anything else. In a way, Fez is comprised of dozens of contradictions that all seem to work well together somehow; it’s simple yet complicated, ambiguous yet obvious, charming yet sinister, and frustrating yet incredibly satisfying.
Did Sony copy Nintendo's mascot fighter idea? Who cares?
The Sony fighter has been announced! Will it live up to its Nintendo counterpart? No one knows! That doesn't stop me from speculating. The important thing isn't whether or not it's a rip-off. What matters is that it's fun to play. Oh, right. I do talk about other things in this PB & Jason, I almost forgot. Remember Issue 84? In that issue, I talked a little bit about the fear of incentivizing game reviews on websites like Amazon.com with DLC. This week, I expand on the idea, presenting a few clearer reasons why such a thing could become harmful. I also discuss my take on the next-gen console rumors that they'll be made to prevent used games. You'll be surprised at the level of reason I can achieve when I can remain level-headed! You'll have to listen to learn the conclusion I draw, though. Click through for the download links!
A cheerful cooking simulator that offers a more genuine experience than similar titles.
It’s easy to write off Order Up as nothing more than the latest piece of shovelware or shallow entertainment experience for the casuals. The truth is, Order Up has a lot more depth than one might think. It provides a quality, yet simple play experience that is an enjoyable and relaxing escape between more thought intensive titles. In the world of Cooking Mamas and other point-and-click cooking adventures, Order Up gives fans of these games a fast-paced, tactile experience that is deep enough to prevent monotony, yet simple enough to be accessible to everyone.
A few tips on how to beat the competition.
What?
This week's PB & Jason covers a lot of ground. It starts with the shock of a popular two-month-old game that can be found at half its original retail price. It ends with a twisted DLC idea that could become the follow-up to retailer-exclusive DLC. In the middle? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, PlayBits, New Super Mario Bros. Mii, Pikmin 3, and Nintendo's approach to DLC with the Wii U. To hear the podcast, you'll have to click through to find the podcast's download links.
