That thing right there? I do believe it’s some form of Moroccan crab man, and its virtual existence forces me to face a very profound dilemma. See, I am immediately curious about every facet of its existence – context within the story, capabilities, linguistic background, favorite food, blood type, opinion on jazz music’s current place in society, what crabomancy actually entails, etc – but, on second thought, maybe I don’t want answers to any of those things.
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes transports the series’ problems to an open world, but winning humor shines through the clouds. High above the crime-ridden streets of Gotham City, a spotlight beckons the Caped Crusader.
Aha, I was a bit worried this might not see a PC release. Weird on both counts, given PC was originally its lead platform and, well,
it’s a pretty boring game so it’s strange that I’d care. Absent makes the heart grow less exasperated, I suppose. Yes, Doom 3 BFG, complete with new sections, improved levels, tuned controls, added checkpoints and sweet mother of God a mounted-flashlight, will be out on PC. When? MAYBE I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.
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.
Another quick Rezzed update for you – joining the increasingly mighty throng of games’n’devs attending the PC games show in Brighton, UK next Month are Unknown Worlds and their long-awaited multiplayer alien-vs-men epic Natural Selection 2. Hugh Jeremy from Unknown Worlds is going to do a stage demo of the Half-Life mod-gone-pro and audience Q&A at 5pm on Friday 6th July.
Today’s FPS games rarely last long on my hard drive, stuffed as it is with maps, dice and musty tomes of history retold. It’s more than a decade since my deathmatch days , which makes me feel indescribably ancient. It’s only fitting that it takes a Kickstarter project to rekindle my interest, as Kickstarter so often seems like fertile ground for old roots to sprout new shoots.
People loved Just Cause 2. With all the crazy grappling/parachuting/action-stunting in Avalanche Studios’ 2010 hit, why wouldn’t they? But Rico Rodriguez’ adventures didn’t have anything by way of online multiplayer, which would’ve made an already good game even better. Oh, well, JC2 lovers can dream of what might’ve been, right?
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.
Doom 3 modders are recreating Ridley Scott’s Prometheus in the PC game, building models and textures so that players can explore the “alien” planet and structures for themselves. The real question is, would things turn out differently if you were playing instead of watching?
