DJ Hero 2 comes at a time where the rhythm game genre is stepping aside to make room for the more motion control games. The first game sold well enough to warrant a sequel, and while the new game doesn't offer guitar co-op, it does offer something new. Our techno inspired review is here.
Dead Rising Mobile for the iPhone and iPod Touch is actually based on the first game that takes place in the Williamette Mall starring photographer Frank West. The events and story of the game aren't identical to the original Xbox 360 title, instead they are unique to the platform. In the game you'll be killing zombies, finding unique weapons, and of course escorting survivors - though the latter has been revamped quite a bit.
Lets face it, as gamers we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff for our hobby. Whether it's games, controllers or plastic instruments - they usually find their way strewn around the family room. Enter the the Storage Tower series from Level Up. Enter our contest to win one and get organized!
Sometimes, combining different things is good; for instance, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Other times, it's not so good: anyone ever had a pickle/banana sandwich? Slam Bolt Scrappers is hoping the combination of Tetris-like puzzles and an old school brawler has more in common with the chocolate/peanut butter delight. Since co-op is another part of the mix, we're hoping its a tasty treat, too.
Joystiq has taken an in-depth look at the newest zombie game, Dead Nation - but they want to make sure we don't confuse it for just another zombie title. Since there are so many co-op zombie titles on the market now (Dead Rising 2, Left 4 Dead, Burn Zombie Burn, Zombie Apocalypse, etc), Dead Nation had to make sure they did things a little different to make sure they stood out. According to the preview we've checked out, it sounds like Housemarque has mixed all of the elements we love in zombie games and made a truly amazing downloadable title.
Look at that screen shot. Doesn't it just make your eyes bleed? The aspect ratio alone makes me furious.
Just a friendly reminder for those of you who already purchased Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Online Co-op is going live tomorrow on October 27th. To sweeten the deal, and probably to remind you that the game still exists, the first downloadable content for the game is free to Xbox LIVE subscribers.
One thing that's become increasingly apparent in today's age of digital downloads - they can disappear at anytime. Most times this happens because of expiring contracts between content providers. Such is the case with DOOM on Xbox Live Arcade. The game was originally released before Zenimax Media actually owned id Software.Once that contract expired there was no place for your money to go when purchased, so the game has been pulled.
Your adventure through Albion continues in Fable 3. Take the role of the offspring of Fable 2's hero and overthrow your tyrant brother to bring together all the land. But all isn't as it seems. We take Lionheads latest creation on a co-op test drive and see if it delivers on the promises made.
In a move that surprises no one, at Blizzcon lead game designer Jay Wilson confirmed to G4tv.com that there will be a Diablo 3 beta. While details are scarce it can be assumed that it will start out as a private affair, but maybe, just maybe, turn into a public block party.
It was only a matter of time, we suppose. Last year's Wii Sports Resort came with the Motion Plus accessory, making the Wii waggle even more accurate. Now, we have a new version of Nintendo's controller, putting the two together, and it's rather appropriately named the Wii Remote Plus. As with perennial sales powerhouse Wii Play, a controller/game bundle is going to be available, and that game is called FlingSmash. It's a right-to-left side scroller, where a little round fellow named Zip is controlled by aiming the Wii Remote Plus. As you can see in the above screenshot, the Wiimote representation in the lower corner updates in real time. To make Zip move, you just fling the controller when the Wiimote is pointed the right direction.
When it comes to classic gaming, Kirby is an icon. He hails from the days of two action buttons; the days when real substance was achieved through 8-bit graphics and MIDI music. Can his newest adventure win our hearts without resorting to the third dimension? I think you already know the answer.
