It just got a little bit darker in here.
2K Games announced today that those gamers who preorder their upcoming title The Darkness II will automatically be upgraded to the special Limited Edition version of the game for free while supplies last.
Heavenly may not be the right word, but it's still a hell of a good time.
Apparently the eponymous Heavenly Sword is a highly prized weapon. It is said to be a sword forged and used by gods, a theory that has resulted in the rampant bloodshed and chaos that has spread across the land. Chief among the pursuers is the evil King Bohan, an oddly charismatic megalomaniac voiced by the very talented Andy Serkis. Bohan has destroyed the lives of countless people in his quest for the sword and he has now turned to the last remaining clan not under his rule – the keepers of the Heavenly Sword itself – Nariko’s people.
Nana Visitor and Rene Auberjonois answer questions about the upcoming game, Star Trek: Infinite Space.
What can I say? It's just fun.
It’s been a long time since I found a game to play that was simple, challenging, addicting, and just plain fun. For months now I’ve desired an uncomplicated gaming experience that was lighthearted, didn’t require a membership, was devoid of long, drawn-out cutscenes, and could be played within my very limited free time. So, thank goodness for the arrival of Mercury Hg. Thank you Ignition, for allowing me to escape the reign of epic titles for a few solid and incredibly fun hours.
Sam now getting serious in November.
Today brings some bad news for fans awaiting the October 18 release of Serious Sam 3. Alen Ladavac of Croteam made the announcement earlier today in the SeriousZone.com forums:
The latest entry in the fast paced series is now only $5.
OnLive, the streaming service for PCs, Mac, and its own micro console for TVs, has $5 deals every Friday for a randomly chosen title. This week's deal is for Unreal Tournament 3. OnLive runs off of remote servers so all computers with a internet connection 3 Mbps or faster can enjoy any title on the service.
Take a look behind the scenes of Warner Bros. latest endeavor into Middle Earth.
A Mac version and iOS app have also been announced.
Double Fine Productions has just announced that Psychonauts is coming to Mac OS X today. An update for the Steam version of the game was also revealed that will include Steam achievements, cloud saves, and an easier version of the Meat Circus level. “We are really excited,” said Double Fine President Tim Schafer, “to finally be answering fans’ requests for a more difficult Meat Circus.” He's joking, of course.
This week's news-oriented PB & Jason also covers a little bit of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition.
While the title is based off of Namco Bandai's upcoming October release, Go Vacation, don't be fooled! PB & Jason is more than a summer stay at a resort or a monster. Also covered? Trenched, aka Iron Brigade, R-Type and the virtual console, Pietriots and their wall of diversity, the upcoming Playstation Vita Japanese launch, and the Amazon Kindle Fire!
“OK” just doesn't cut it this time.
No More Heroes looked like an intriguing game when it came out on the Wii, but after playing it I wasn't too impressed. You play as the badass Travis Touchdown and your simple goal is to kill everyone in your way until you are number one. The gameplay was interesting and the story and characters were entertaining, but these just sugarcoated a fundamentally flawed game. Upon hearing about this remake, subtitled Heroes Paradise, I hoped that it would all be smoothed over. Again I walked away disappointed.
