Monolith are confirmed as the developer for Gotham City Impostors, a download-only first person shooter where players fight for control of Gotham City. The game will supposedly have an exaggerated take on first person shooters – Take that for what you will, but I think it’s safe to assume kill streaks won’t be found anywhere.
Robot Entertainment, the developers of the Orc genocide slaughterfest Orcs Must Die, are slowly revealing the arsenal of traps and gadgets that player will use in their upcoming game. Today they unveiled the Wind Belt with a video that show how the power of the wind can be used to kill the horde of stupid little monsters invading your castle.
The internet was ablaze with talk about Dead Island for months, even though all we had to go on was an animated short film that didn’t actually have any footage of the actual game. After a few months of salivating over the awesome teaser video, we can finally see what the game looks like in action, thanks to this video that the developer released today.
The new screenshots for Atlus’ weird new adventure/puzzle/ girlfriend sim game, Catherine confirm that the game is still weird. The new images show a cute new redhead, lots of sheep symbolism and our band of heroes goofing around at the bar that serves as a gathering point for characters in the story.
Going by the numbers it is
obvious that people are ready for some more Gears and this coming Monday will
suck just that little bit more. Anyway, I’ve already gone over quite a lot
regarding the content of the beta, so now I’m going to deploy my flame shield
and list the main issues that have emerged over the past four weeks. These are
the things that will hopefully be acknowledged and rectified to guarantee an
amazing launch for the full game on September 20th.
Do you
consider yourself a gamer? If so, then what would you say makes you, or anyone
for that matter, a gamer? Most people would say it is because someone plays
games, but how many or how frequently must you play in order to be labelled a
gamer? More importantly, why must somebody who plays games be labelled in the
first place? Does playing games somehow make you different from those who
don’t? That’s a lot of questions to open with, so allow me to make some
statements on the subject.
Mass Effect was one of
those titles that I had zero interest in until it came out. For some reason I decided
to give it a try. That approach doesn’t always work out so well, but in this
case it led me to what I felt was the best game of 2007 – one that I ended up
playing through three times. I enjoyed the universe so much that I’ve read the
novels by Drew Karpyshyn, who also wrote the story for the game. The soundtrack
was easily the best of the year and one of the most unique in a long time.
Needless to say my anticipation for Mass Effect 2 was extremely high.
