It’s been quite a while since the last Dungeons and Dragons video game and while D&D fans should be looking forward to the Neverwinter MMORPG, they will also be happy with the recent announcement of Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale. Our Fergus Halliday and Mark Quinlan take a look at this upcoming arcade Action RPG.
A band of tiny men has been stealthily carving out a tunnel to Steam right beneath our feet, while we were none the wiser. Suddenly the new game Dwarfs!? just popped up on Steam this afternoon with the full game, demo and launch trailer, taking us all by surprise.
Oh, so YOU’RE the one person who hasn’t played Plants Versus Zombies yet? Well, I guess that Steam has put it on sale at $3.40 just for YOU. Be polite and go buy a copy of it from them. Everyone else, take a look at Steam’s other sale. Today only you can get several Need For Speed games at big discounts, NFS: Hot Pursuit is $14.99, Shift is $6.80, and Undercover is a mere $2.50.
Portal
changed gaming. There is no way around it. It was imaginative, funny,
and just a hell of a lot of fun. However, when Valve announced Portal
2, I wasn’t too sure about it. But you will be happy to know that it
is easily better!
Portal
2 takes place after the end of the first game, and your failure to
get cake. You wake up many years after the first game and
you can obviously tell. It almost looks like someone took a wrecking
ball to the place. Though upon GlaDOS’s return it does change back to
the same Aperture Science building you remember. This time Chell is
not alone. She has the quirky personality core Wheatley
at her side, as well as other interesting sources that are there to
give you hints, and poke fun at you. The game takes many twists and
turns, and faster than you can say “potato” you find yourself in
many other locations unlike the first.
three new packs of downloadable content for Fallout:
New Vegas. All three will be released on the games three supporting platforms:
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The first to arrive is titled Honest Hearts and is due to be released May
18 on the PS3. The second is called Old
World Blues and will arrive in June, and the third is titled
Road
I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it is good in a sense that more people will be on the servers to be able to do the game’s content, but also bad because the game may not have the amount of people that company was expecting. As for the PSN people hopefully the game becomes playable soon.
Less
than two weeks have passed since the release of the smash hit sequel
Portal 2, and developer Valve Software has already announced
and revealed the game’s first DLC pack. It has also been confirmed
that the new content, which should arrive this summer, will be
absolutely free of charge! That’s right, Valve is complementing their
new release with some early expansion that wont cost a dime. Little
information has been released but it is rumored that the DLC (which
remains to see an official title) will include a variety of new
single player and cooperative test chambers along with challenge
modes, leaderboards, new mutilplayer modes and more! Perhaps new bot
skins and accessories will be added or a new iteration of the game’s
web comic.
