If you’re a fan of Lost or simply a fan of games where you have to use your wits to survive, and you play Xbox I have good news for you. An Xbox Arcade Indie game inspired by the PC game Minecraft has hit the Xbox is available on XBLA, Fortresscraft. It brings you the joys of creating your own world or destroying it with the click of a button.
Here is something that will certainly get people talking. Now I must stress that none of the following is confirmed, niether Crytek or Microsoft has commented on this rumour, the information has supposedly come from Crytek themselves. There are no specifications for the system as of now but Crytek are using Microsoft’s DirectX 11 as the standard for their next console. The console is said to be announced at next year’s E3, while this is believed to be earlier than when Sony will announce theirs, the game is still intended for Sony’s next system too.
Yet another
one adding to the pile of reasons that I need to buy Mortal Kombat. Anyway,
great news for those of you who still into all the combos, x-rays and fatalities.
Skarlet, the first DLC character for MK is set for release on June 21st.
It just gets better from here too; following Skarlet will be Rain and Kenshi
although no date has been announced for them as of now. And to top all of this
off, a fourth character will follow Rain, if it’s Bo Rai Cho then I’m sold. Be
sure to tear up the comments with your own guesses.
This Fall XBLA is getting a game based on War Of The Worlds, today when the developers announced that Sir Patrick Stewart will provide voicework for the narration. The War of the Worlds will be a 2D single player action game, that uses rotoscope-inspired animation. It will deal with original characters during the Martian invasion, using elements from H.G. Wells’ book, but also some from the 1953 movie too (And surely a nod to Orson Welles radio broadcast will pop in as well).
U.S. video game sales for May were down 14 percent, coming in at $743.1 million, according to sales from NPD Group. While the firm said that May’s numbers represented the lowest recorded monthly retail performance in years, NPD analyst Anita Frazier cautioned that the figures did not include digital sales numbers.
Bloodrayne is among the video games that have been granted the honor of a film adaptation by Uwe Boll. But don’t hold that against poor little vampiress Rayne, because her games are actually pretty good, unlike the movie adaptations. While the film series has hopefully been put to its final rest, the game franchise will return this summer in a new format.
With the Electronic Entertainment Expo behind us, we can now all look forward to the actual release dates of the most anticipated games. Yeah sure we are all excited about Modern Warfare 3 and Halo 4, but for us Xbox owners, there’s a game you should definitely look in to. I’m sure many of you remember the movie where the Toy Soldiers came to life and saved the day, and now you can take control of these toys in the battle of a lifetime. Toy Soldiers: Cold War is an upcoming Xbox live arcade game, who’s trailer at the expo absolutely caught my attention.
Announced a couple of months ago, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is essentially the director’s cut of the originalDead Rising 2. It originally started out as an upgrade with more content and Chuck as the main character but due to the fan outcry of Frank not being in the original, Capcom saw fit to make him the new lead character for Off The Record. There’s a new theme park area included as well as new combo weapons and the photography mechanic will make a return.
This game claims to be based on ancient religious texts, but it really doesn’t matter, because the story is pretty much incomprehensible, and divine intervention won’t help make it make any more sense, if the demo released on Xbox live today is any indication. While it has gotten a lot of buzz for having an unusual design scheme, the gameplay present in the demo makes it seem like style over substance. Despite its allegedly holy inspirations, my hour with it felt like an eternity in hell.
The same developers who brought us Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions bring Spidey and Spidey 2099 back for another go. In Spider-Man Edge of Time, the present day Spiderman must team up with his counterpart from the year 2099 to save the future, and to avert Spidey’s death in the present. Players will be able to control both Spider-Men over the course of the game.
