Resistance 3 came out with a bang this week. We've got a gritty new launch trailer from PlayStation.blog for all of you PS3 owners who may be on the fence. There's some stiff competition vying for your gaming dollar this week. My suggestion? Start selling blood. Preferably yours.
Earlier this month, out of nowhere, a long-lost PlayStation 2 game that never reached the end of its development appeared - a third-person shooter based on the Gremlins franchise. Someone must have pulled the shades before the game could be presented to the public.
Crimson Alliance is the latest dungeon crawler during a dungeon crawler boom. With its slick-looking art style and co-op-over-competition attitude, is this the dungeon crawler that genre fans have been waiting for?
A video which showcases some footage from the private Diablo 3 beta that is going on now has surfaced, showing a launcher and login that looks very similar to World of Warcraft. We're also given a brief glimpse of the character creation screen with our five character classes. The rest of the video is actually just random screenshots from the beta itself.
Sure, that Dead Island game is hot stuff right now. But it's only one island. Dead Nation, on the other hand, is a friggin' country. It plays a bit differently too, being a super-slick twin-stick shooter from the creators of Superstardust HD. What’s more, tons of Playstation 3 owners have the game as it was one of the free games in Sony’s Welcome Back program. What better way to monetize all those free copies than by selling everyone DLC? Hence developer Housemarque has announced an upcoming DLC pack, “Road of Devastation.”
If you purchased Dead Island on Steam you may have noticed some things weren't working as expected. You may have just spontaneously walked through walls, found connecting to co-op sessions near impossible, or perhaps even lost your entire inventory. There's a good reason for this - the version that released on Steam was a developer debug build.
A few months ago we brought you news of Sony's new fangled technology that would allow two different gamers to view two full, separate images on the same screen. It uses 3D glasses and wizards and stuff. That's actually an image (below) of the working product which we saw at E3. Not to be out done, Microsoft has jumped into the magical split screen market.
Anyone who owned a Sega Saturn should be excited about Sega’s upcoming HD re-release of Guardian Heroes. And people who didn’t own a Saturn due either to being born too late or making poor life decisions will soon be excited too – all you need to do is watch the new trailer!
The Halo 4 project soldiers on, but it's continues minus one creative director. Ryan Payton, known for his work on Metal Gear Solid 4, has left the game, 343 Studios, and Microsoft all together. While his exact duties for Halo 4 are wrapped up in an NDA, it is known he worked closely on the story with Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor.
Something awesome is coming to Little Big Planet 2. At least that's what the forums Community Curator claims. We already know of a PlayStation Move pack coming on September 14th, so what could this be? Little Big Planet 2 is already doused with awesome sauce, as you can see in our review. If you "read more" you can see the teaser image, in all of it's teasing glory. Check out the forums here. You can actually witness forum members slowly lose their minds from the rampant speculation.
Both Dead Island and Space Marine are out today on all platforms, but PC gamers can snag the digital version of either title for $10 off thanks to Amazon's Digital Download service.
When Bodycount appeared in June after being virtually silent for a year, I was quite surprised to hear they planned on releasing it by the end of Summer. Billed as the spiritual successor to Black on the PS2, was high on a lot of folks watch lists. But the Houdini act is rarely a good thing.
