Check out this real-life Zombie Defense Plant that PopCap sent me. My home is relatively free of zombies, so I didn’t have much of a sense of urgency when feeding and watering the thing. I planted the seed, watered it and left. I went out of town and came back to find that my little peashooter had grown to well over a foot tall. Today it stands (well, kind of) at a whopping 21 inches tall....

Zombies may be old news, but Indie Stone’sProject Zomboidis an ambitious little game that’s taking the concept in a new, fascinating direction. It’s a survival sim with a super-bleak, utterly fatalistic attitude. In fact one of its taglines is the question, “How will you die?” And now it’s getting an update. People who pre-purchased the game already have access to the ongoing pre-alpha development version already, and should get this update, which includes some much-demanded modding tools....
I don’t have much more than that. See for yourself. Does this mean something? I have no idea. The3D World section of the websitelists the system for $199. “Starting at $199.99,” it says. It’s still the standard $299.99 on other parts of the site, including when you hit “shop” right under the $199.99 link. This could be a typo, or it could be some kind of early leak that points to a price drop....
We are possibly just falling into a ploy by Double Fine to get some attention, but we figure Double Fine deserves it. A few days ago, the studio launched aPsychonautsthemed Web site,The Psychopedia, and today we’ve spotteda new postthat talks aboutPsychonauts 2. Of course, there is noPsychonauts 2… at least, not officially. After the first game suffered disappointing sales in the face of critical acclaim, it was pretty certain that we’d never see another....
If you didn’t giveQuick Hit Footballa try when Ipreviewed its open betaa month ago, this news might get you to go for it. Earlier this week, the game added more than 30 former NFL players to its roster as “legends,” including guys like Barry Sanders, Warren Moon, and Mike Alstott. They’re part ofQuick Hit’s new microtransaction system — every team gets two legends, but you can also purchase these players withQuick Hit’s in-game currency, Coaching Points....
I was never a huge fan of the Resident Evil games. Not untilResident Evil 4. I still remember, quite vividly, playing the game my first time. The first town, where you’re supposed to get the shotgun, I remember it. Specifically, I remember going through it with a handgun, screaming battles cries at the top of my lungs. God damn, that was a satisfying day. So it brings me great delight to report on these rumored screenshots ofResident Evil 5....
Welcome, listeners! Here we are again with an … ugh … okay, you know what? I’m not going to do that. I seriously just woke up like ten minutes ago and I’m going to need some caffeine before I can get excited about anything. Retroforce is recording much earlier than usual today. Last week, we brought youpart 1of our Super Mario Super Special, and now it’s time to seal the deal....
I’ve got perfect pitch and the voice of an angel, but the reality is, everyone who steps up to the microphone to playRock Bandis not me. That’s where iZotope technology comes in. Besides just being a silly name that my word processor keeps trying to auto-correct to “isotope,” the technology will offer real-time pitch detection and pitching shifting inRock Band 3. The result: making more people sound like they can carry a tune by assisting them in their road to rock superstardom....
In this awesomely animated trailer forStreet Fighter X Tekken, Rufus is the main focus throughout. The whole premise is he mistakes Bob for Ken and hilariously tries to fight him to no avail. Zangief, Julia, Ryu and theactualKen all make cameo appearances as Rufus and Bob duke it out inside of Marshall’s Diner. As of right now, there are 23 officially announced characters, not including Rufus as he has not beentechnicallyannounced....
There is arumorswimming about, as such rumors often do, concerning Microsoft and its desire to haveResident Evil 5as a timed exclusive. The shady word on the street is that The ‘Soft will employ the same method it usually does — throw dollars at everything until “achievement unlocked” appears. That’s all we “know” at the moment, and it’s something I’d advise taking with alargepinch of salt until anything more is said. Believable, though?...
It’s beenrumored non-stopand begged for since the game came out in Japan, but now it’s been backed up by those close to the game:Yakuza 3is coming to the West for all us gaijin to enjoy.1Upgot in touch with some unnamed contacts they have that worked on the game and they have told them thatYakuza 3is indeed being localized for the West as we speak. Well, actually it’s the weekend so they’ll probably get back to work on it tomorrow....
Electronic Arts has released a sampling of Inon Zur’s music from BioWare’s upcomingDragon Age 2to kick off your weekend. Two tracks — “Hawke Family Theme” and “Qunari on the Rise” — areavailable for your listening pleasure on SoundCloud. In “Qunari,” things start to get really intense around 50 seconds in. So when you hear the music in the game, you know s**ts going to down any second. Spoiler much, EA? Next you’re going to show me a picture of a dragon or something....
