Gallery Update: Game Of Thrones

Focus Home Interactive and developer Cyanide Studios are making me a bit more thrilled about their upcoming game in each new set of screens. The upcoming action RPG is looking nice and dark in tone here, which matches much of the show’s look. Still, my kingdom for a torch or two to lighten the mood! Atlus is bringing this one out stateside sometime this spring for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, making this a super addition to their lineup if the game is anywhere near the quality of the books and HBO series.  More screens to some as the roll out – stay tuned…

 

Retro Exploration: Dreamcast (Part 7)

Here’s a ton of fun bonus images from Red Dog, the superb drive ‘n shoot game from the late Argonaut Studios. You get a few background artworks from loading screens, enemy render, unused logos and some more oddball stuff below the jump  I remember this one from all the crazy four-player matches that were a huge part of the workday at the indie shop I worked at for a few years. No matter how crappy the day was, a few MP sessions would kick things into a cooler place. Of course, the single player mode was a ton of fun as well with all those challenging levels and tough boss battles. I haven’t played the game in ages, but I’ll absolutely give it a whirl when I get some more free time just to see if my reflexes are still as good as they used to be…

Dream Arcades’ “Kegerator” Makes Any Room An Instant Man-Cave!

Dream Arcades just keeps coming up with too many ways for folks who can afford their awesome gear to drop even more of that disposable income. At $3,995, their Kegerator not only packs in a bunch of excellent arcade light gun and other classic titles, you also get THREE beer taps built into the unit, making this a quadruple threat that turns any room in the house into an instant party room! Just add some party-minded guests, some pub grub and a designated driver and you’re good to go.

While the Kegerator is currently out of my own price range, it would make any gamer giddy as a gift and yes, even if they’re a non-drinker, I’m sure someone will figure out a way to get some other beverage hooked into that trio of on board taps. I’d like to see Dream Arcades do something a lot closer to my own budget price range, though. Maybe a tabletop LCD screen kit that sits on top of a six-pack of whatever with a couple of straws coming out?  Hey, I’m broke these days, but I’m still a gamer for life!

Asura’s Wrath Demo Is Alive & Kicking (and Punching) Over PSN/Xbox Live

POW! With its February 21, 2012 release right around the corner, CyberConnect2’s paradigm-changing cinematic action game finally gets a playable demo and it’s purely insane earth-shaking stuff of the gods.  And it’s funny as hell, too. Go play it and enjoy the crazy ride it takes you on. Capcom’s got a mega hit here that deserves a wide audience, so hopefully folks who think games like GOD HAND are the best thing since sliced bread will be all over this and tell as many friends as possible how cool it all is. What, you’re still reading this post? Don’t you have a demo to download? Go on, shoo!
