Brawl, we’ve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th. I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer....
After yet another RPG series debate, we’re growing ever closer to the actual epic tournament that will let your favorite RPGs battle to the death for the honor of being “the best RPG of all time.” However, the RPG genre is one of the largest genres in the industry, and we still have a lot of work left to do before things start to really heat up!Last weekwe narrowed a trilogy down to just its best representative, and this week we do the same for an entire series....
Shirley Manson is easily one of my rock chick idols. She’s pale as hell even though it’s trendier to be tan, she sports unapologetically red hair, and is unafraid to speak her mind. Oh, and she’s an all-around badass. Seems like a no-brainer that she’d show up in a videogame one of these days, and sure enough, its just been announced that she will be joining the cast ofGuitar Hero 5as a playable character....
Still, one last vestige of the N-Gage remained, keeping me from having my full laugh. The N-Gage store was still open and the community still existed.No longer. Nokia has announced that as of yesterday the N-Gage gaming service will no longer function and all of its games will be moved over to the Ovi Store. No further games will be pubhlished and on September of 2010 Nokia will put the final nail in the coffin by removing all N-Gage games from the Ovi Store as well....
Next year, developer Just Add Water will be bringing an updated port ofOddworld: Stranger’s Wrathto the PlayStation Network. The quirky first- and third-person shooter was originally released in 2005, and had players taking the role of the bounty hunter known as the Stranger. The game had a quirky feel that you’d expect from an Oddworld game, with players using “live” ammo (read: animals and bugs) to take out enemies. The updated version of the game will boast updated visuals at 720p, along with updated graphical bells and whistles that you’d expect from a current-gen game....
I think that we can all agree that games set in World War II are pretty much dead.Medal of Honorstarted it,Call of Dutytreaded in and eventually killed it, andBrothers in Armsis taking a page from the Quentin Tarantino style guide to make WWII relevant again. Developer City Interactive is staying in WWII though withCombat Wings: The Great Battles of WWII,an aerial combat game that takes you through many of the second Great War’s aerial campaigns....
Thing I want:Portal 2. Thing I don’t want:Portal 2plot information to get spoiled well in advance of the game’s release (which is said to be sometime next year). I’m going to assume that we both share these sentiments. With that said, I’m going to tell you thatKotakureceived a hot tip regarding somePortal 2voice casting call details. But I’m afraid I don’t want to say too much beyond that, because the spoilers have been burned into my brain and will never be washed away....
A brand new game has been announced for the PlayStation 3 and PC, known simply asMars. The premise is that people have created a breathable atmosphere on the Red Planet, and the plot is set some 200 years after its colonization. By the time Mars begins, the planet has had breathable air for 70 years, but has begun to change its orbit, getting closer to the Sun and its radiation. This radiation has led to mutation in some people, and caused a schism between two separate races: “In the destroyed world of Mars, two destinies mingle together....
