After getting her groove on out in the stripper pole, Juliet beheads some zombie patrons. Players can latch on to it and spin around to hit multiple zombies. That kept zombies away, but the pole vanished after using it. I then resorted to my hit-to-make-dizzy strategy to take down the undead horde.
Developed in partnership with genre master Arc System Works, Persona 4 Arena uses gorgeous, hand-drawn, high definition 2D anime-style fighters and colorful, over-the-top special effects to bring to life characters from the acclaimed, highly popular Persona 3 and Persona 4.
The first footage for Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs all but confirms that the machine in question is not a belly-tickling porcine laughter factory, so there’s my hopes of a My Little Piglet friendship simulator dashed to bits against a dank wall.
You play as a highly trained commando on a sabotage mission, with the action taking place “across beautifully composed sci-fi vistas”. The intention is to make a “visceral, non-stop, run-and-gun action” downloadable title.
To the surprise of not a single soul, I choose to return by gesticulating in the direction of a stylised indie game. Trash TV appears to be a platform game at first but is really more of a puzzler, although a puzzler in which the solution to everything is GUNS. There’s loads of GUNS. Loads.
Overflowing with sex, blood, and rock ‘n’ roll, Lollipop Chainsaw is an un-deadly story of a sweet, killer zombie hunter and her mission to uncover the root of a widespread zombie outbreak. With her wickedly effective chainsaw in tow, Juliet slices and dices her way through waves of the undead, but quickly realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw toting cheerleader.
This scrappy Activision reject comes out fighting. Take Hong Kong-set thriller Infernal Affairs. Throw away the half of the plot about an undercover gangster posing as a cop (you’ll only need the half about an undercover cop posing as a gangster). Stir in a blend of skull-cracking martial arts and gunplay from bloodier, shootier Hong Kong action flicks. Pour it into the Grand Theft Auto mould for a free-roaming urban crime adventure. And there you have Sleeping Dogs, the game formerly–more prosaically–known as True Crime: Hong Kong.
Here’s the official trailer for Skyrim’s first expanded quest, Dawnguard. As you can see, this is no simple extra mission, but will be a full story, this time revolving around a vampiric lord hell bent of obtaining the Elder Scrolls in order to rule the world by banishing the very sun from the sky.
Obsidian’s South Park RPG is now known as South Park: The Stick Of Truth. It has a trailer, and it sure does look and sound a hell of a lot like South Park. As in, it looks almost exactly like an episode of South Park, which is a fantastically ringing endorsement for the ongoing power and versatility of 2D art as opposed to its theoretically more high-tech 3D cousin.
Whether you shed a tear or you wreck a tear… you can actually do neither in this kinect-heavy castle destroyer. Wreckateer is a physics-based destruction game for Kinect. Assume the role of the Wreckateer, the newest member of the Wreck & Tinker Destruction Company. Make your new bosses happy by launching magical ammunition at goblin infested castles, turning them to dust.
