Advances in the study of loots are needed to make Heroes of Ruin be anything special.
The age old question of what makes a loot phat has yet to be answered. There is no magic formula for the presentation of said loots, nor is there an equation for the perfect mixture of merely acceptable loots and those that are in fact phat. Once researchers have uncovered the perfect recipe, applying this know-how to Heroes of Ruin might make it something fantastic instead of what it is now: completely and thoroughly decent.
Available now as a DSiWare title on the Nintendo DSi for 200 points, and is also available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $1.99.
Square-Enix gives us an online hack-n-slash experience unlike anything we've seen before on a Nintendo handheld.
Nintendo’s struggles with their online strategy (if you can call it that) are widely known and widely reviled. We’ve seen some slight improvements as the years click by, but it looks like Square-Enix might be the ones to teach the big N how to really do things right on the 3DS with Heroes of Ruin. Square-Enix and design house n-Space picked the perfect sort of game to leverage the online functionality of the 3DS – a dungeon crawler. Keeping far away from the frame-by-frame criticality of an FPS or fighting game, a game in the vein of Diablo should let Nintendo’s network stretch its legs without really angering the hardcore twitch gamers. Although already released in Europe, Heroes of Ruin doesn’t launch in North America until July 17th, and the online multiplayer is just one aspect that has us sharpening our swords in anticipation.
Available now for $29.99 on Steam.
Tau Volantis isn't the only thing that leaves me cold about Dead Space 3.
Dead Space 2 was one of my favorite games of 2011, and when rumblings began to stir about a third game in the series I waited with giddy anticipation for details. Now that the game has been officially announced and the first gameplay has been shown I can’t help but find myself…concerned about this title. While I see enough of the core DNA of Dead Space in the E3 demo, it feels like the game is losing some of its identity, not unlike what happened with the Mass Effect series.
The offbeat first person brawler will be followed up in 2013.
Last night, ahead of the E3 rush, Atlus revealed that ACE Team is in the process of developing a sequel to Zeno Clash, simply titled Zeno Clash II. The Rock of Ages developer is producing the first-person brawler for the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and the PS3 PlayStation Network and is expecting to release it in "early 2013."
Severed necromorph is a dish best served cold.
We reported some time ago about the existence of Dead Space 3, and recently we found out that the game is due out sometime in 2013. In fact, it seems as if everyone in the video game industry has found dirt on Dead Space 3, but EA has been oddly mum on the subject. Enter the Electronic Entertainment Expo: bastion of all things exciting and upcoming in video games, where EA is set to finally reveal their poorly kept secret. That’s right, kiddos—Isaac Clarke is coming back, and next week we’ll have the first real look at this hotly anticipated horror game.
