Candlelight, the game in which you play as, well, a candle? Sounds intresting, right? Well, now you can actually see how that works, the trailer shows off most of the stuff in the game from wind, rain, water, lava, fireballs, TNT, torches, treasure chests, crumbling platforms, and moving platforms.
I was going to mock the new Dragon’s Prophet trailer for featuring people sitting on what appeared to be Bucking Dragoncos. But then I realised how much more brilliant mechanical dragons would be than stupid boring mechanical bulls, and herald Runewater Entertainment as GENIUSES.
Aliens: Colonial Marines got 99 problems, and looking like it’s from 2005 is one of them. Which is mystifying, given that recent in-game footage clearly showed that a more attractive version of the game did/does exist somewhere.
As we all know full well and is entirely obvious, BioShock: Elizabeth is a straightforward damsel in distress with a pretty face and a nice dress, and there’s nothing more to her than that. There definitely isn’t anything surprising or sinister about her: she will be rescued by the big man with the big gun, the mean nasty boss will fall to his doom and everyone will live happily ever after.
Arcadecraft, from indie developer Firebase Industries, sees you set up your own arcade from scratch. Starting from the year 1980, the game is a Tycoon-like simulation as your aim is to expand your cabinet collection and make a tidy profit.
I haven’t had a chance to play this yet, what with all the very important blogging I have to do, but it looks like a rare kind of fun. Real World Racing, for that is its name, is a Micro-Machines (or perhaps Supercars / Super Sprint) styled racing game, where the tracks are generated from real-world satellite imagery. Why hasn’t this been done before?
News collectors VG247 have a bunch of Crysis 3 footage, which I have cheerfully reblogged below. Producer-man Michael Read has a bit to say about it, too, explaining what makes that section – Swamp – unique. Well, it’s swampy green and might murky, for a start. But also you get to kill men!
Dead Space 3 is assaulting us with news we don’t want to hear of late. Out in just over a week, we’ve recently learned that it’s going to offer microtransactions for in-game items, and that the PC build is to be a dead-straight port with no frills. Oh, and dear sweet Horace, it’s used a Phil Collins song. And now it’s saying it’s got a story.
It’s been a long, long time since we mentioned that handsome scrolling biff ‘em up Skullgirls was coming to PC. The reason seems to be trouble at the development studio, and indeed it won’t even be brought to us by Reverge Labs, by a new studio Lab Zero.
What now, CoD? Battlefield 3′s latest expansion pack boasts birtbike chases across vast maps, capture the flag goodness and even a dropship that can dump vehicles onto the battlefield. Oh and watch the video through to the end if you’re a fan of Battlefield 3′s jets. It looks like there’s something here for just about everyone! HOOAH!
