GOG.com Goes The Indie Pub Route, Incoming Awesomeness Abounds…

Posted on March 27, 2012 by geelw

Sooo, GOG.com’s master plan is to go the indie route in addition to selling the best DRM-free classic and now recent/current indie content at amazing prices with tons of bonuses? Nice, indeed. Their first big indie publishing project, Legend of Grimlock (you MUST pre-order it as soon as you see it – that’s an order!) looks fantastic (and yeah, I need to upgrade my PC yet again if I want to play it, stubborn old goat that I am) and it’s so far, so good with the rest of the lineup. Color me (and a great deal of other GOG.com users) happier by the minute…

Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox Has More Bugs Now. You Should Still Buy it Once It’s Done.

Posted on March 27, 2012 by geelw

Oh Noes! Well, not really, as you’ll see from this video, it’s actually a GOOD thing to find bugs in the upcoming procedurally generated RPG. Adding digital insect life just makes the game world seem a bit more natural, is all. Now, if only you could earn loads of experience and gold from swatting all the bugs you can find flying about…

Asura’s Wrath DLC Packs Quite The Punch (And Needs To Be Put On A Disc)…

Posted on March 27, 2012 by geelw

Wow, It really stinks to be an Asura’s Wrath fan without a decent online connection, that’s for sure. Capcom has launched the first of a few killer add-ons for CyberConnect 2’s manly muscle-bound masterpiece that in the coming weeks will include some pretty amazing content. Starting today over PSN (and tomorrow over Xbox Live), “Episode 11.5” launches, followed next week (April 3) by “Episode 15.5” hitting PSN and XBL. Each episode will sell for 1.99 over PSN or 160 MS Points over Xbox Live. April 24 hits even harder with a four-episode content pack for 6.99 (560 MS Points) and finally, May will be the big killer month for many AW fans. Why? Capcom plans to pit Asura up against two of Street Fighter’s legendary combatants, Ryu (May 9) and Akuma (May 16). Each content pack will be 1.99 over PSN and 160 MS Points through Xbox Live.

Hey, Capcom! I’d actually pay a little extra for a expansion disc with ALL that content and I’d bet a lot of others would too. Think about it.

Doctor Who Series 7 Trailer: Making It Better With A Bigger Budget Works For Me…

Posted on March 27, 2012 by geelw

Hmmm. Some fans like the old “cheap” look of the show’s visual effects, but I think that as long as the effect team is making things look more polished overall, it’s even better for the Doctor and company this season. Hell, the show has a long way to go before it approaches the pure CGInsanity of a massive Hollywood blockbuster, so I’m not worried at all about much other than how good the entire story arc will turn out. As usual, We. Shall. See…

You Won’t Need A Sweet Tooth To Ride The Lollipop Chainsaw Schoolbus…

Posted on March 27, 2012 by geelw

Wait, that sounds kind of perverted in a way, but whatever. I’m just thrilled that I finally get to see and play the game next week, as it’s coming to NYC with a few other WBIE-published titles I’ve been really looking forward to. I’ll post impressions of everything once any embargoes are lifted, so pop back in from time to time (or just watch your email if you’re a subscriber) and see what’s what with Juliet. I don’t think that magic school bus in the video will be along for the tour, but if it is, I’ll snap a few pics and post them here. Maybe I’ll even throw myself under that bus (while it’s not moving, thank you much) for added oomph…
