A few days ago,I brought you the news that the exclusiveBioShockDLC for PS3 had been dated and priced, and I also presented the idea that the price may be a turn off to gamers. I don’t know who I thought I was kidding: the moment I saw this trailer, I started to drool on my own shirt the moment I realized that these rooms would allow me to return to Rapture and play the game again in a new light....
Originally announced for release in the summer, Midway’s rather excellent looking shooter,Blacksite: Area 51is now being delayed. The game is now due to be available in North America on November 5th, while my limey brethren and I enjoy a slightly earlier October 26th release. Despite the delay, I still have high hopes for this game. Midway can be very hit and miss, but the company is still capable of churning out a decent title now and then....
Destructoid loves Las Vegas, and we also kind of thoughtBomberman Livewas“Totally Decent.”So the subtle combination of the two is a recipe for magic. Hudson sent along a small glimpse of what’s in store for an upcomingBomberman Liveadd-on pack … Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Bomberman! Chosen over the likes of “Senior Citizen Playing Slots Bomberman” and “Cheap Elvis Imitation Bomberman,” the process for choosing the Sin City-inspired Bomberman was a tough one....
There’s already been a sizable amount of internet drama surrounding the new, purple skinned Akuma. Certain fans think that what we’re seeing here is a revamped version of Shin Akuma; a powered-up version of the character who’s appeared in select Capcom games sinceStreet Fighter Alpha 2. There is another camp that certain that this isn’t Shin Akuma, and have instead taken to calling him “Oni Akuma”. It may sound a like a little thing, but I’ve found that calling this new Akuma by “the wrong name” can be very upsetting to certain passionate fans....
When Capcom’s Sr. Director of Strategic Planning and Research speaks, I’d say you should at least listen … even if you don’t agree with him. In a recentmessage board threadon their official BBS, Capcom’s Christian Svensson tells it like it is, and a world of fanboy fire rains from the digital skies. In response to a thread about wanting more “mature” Wii titles, Svensson is mum on specifics, but admits that most of their upcoming Wii line-up will steer clear of any subject that might garner an M rating....
In a recent interview withThe Times of LodonDan Houser, one of the big wigs at Rockstar, has been caught talking aboutGTA V,which we all knew was coming out, but it’s always good to know where they are in development on it. Houser says they’re hard at work on Rockstar’s upcomingRed Dead Revolvergame and are also putting together the pieces forGTA V. “We’ll think of a city first, then the characters,” said Houser....
TheLondon MCM Expois a mixed bag. This annual celebration of all things geeky may not be especially big, glamorous or full of neat things, but it’s all we have in the UK and there are at least lots of toys. As such, I found it quite refreshing (if scary) to stand among the cosplayers andEye of Judgmentcards at last year’s event, where I got hands-onDynasty Warriors 6thanks to my friends at Koei....
How could we forget the headline“The Ultimate Proof That Sony is Winning,”from CNBC reporter Jane Wells a couple of months ago? This statement was solely based on her 16-year-old son’s choice of PS3 over an Xbox 360.We had a field day with that. Now she’s back with a follow-up. Today, in an article named“PlayStation, Xbox And Post That Launched A ‘Thousand’ Emails,”Wells responds to an email from a reader, who asks for an update on her son and his beloved PS3....
Last week, Konami released Nihilistic’sZombie Apocalypsefor Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network. It’s a four-player, arcade-style shoot-em-up where you — get this — shoot up a bunch of zombies. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and it’s gory. What more can you ask for? Nihilistic has given us ten extra download codes for the Xbox LIVE Arcade version ofZombie Apocalypse, and we want to give them to you! What do we want? We want you to be a zombie, of course!...
Just yesterday I almost had a joy explosion from seeing some screens from the upcomingContra 4for the Nintendo DS and now these come out mere hours later? What, is it my birthday or something?I could easily just post the same love letter to Konami I didyesterday(I think it went something like OHMYGODILOVECONTRA!DOLPHINS!), but, instead I will let you all just sit back and bask in the glory of this totally old school, utterly fantastic gameplay....
Nicolas Müller istotally metalbecause his last name has an umlaut in it — that’s a given. But word on the street is that Mûller is double metal because he can snowboard up and down chunky white slopes like a red demon with skates on top of a translucent ice inferno. Point is, dude is metal and he fancies videogames, or at least appears to in this latest video forStoked: Big Air Edition....
Due to “unprecedented demand”, the full theme music forDead Island‘sheadline-grabbing trailerhas been put up for sale on iTunes. TheDead Island Trailer Themewas composed by Giles Lamb, and features Mairi Campbell, Peter Nicholson & Guido De Groot. The three-minute-long tune costs $0.99 and I’m listening to it right now, because it is very pretty.
TheseDead Rising: Chop Till You Dropscreens make me want to go to the mall… and buy the Xbox 360 version. I’m kidding, Capcom. Kidding! While the Wii reinvention ofDead Risingmay not look as great as the Xbox 360 version, it’s sure to make up for that in control options. I want to bash faces with face bashing motions. Don’t you? I love what Capcom did with the Wii-ification ofResident Evil 4, so if they put the same amount of work inChop Till You Drop, then there will be no worries here....
