New details have emerged on Left 4 Dead 2’s Scavenge Mode, one of the new features the zombie killing (and soon to be multimillion selling, soon to be masterpiece) PS and Xbox 360 exclusive packs in right out of the box. Check out the bit of press release and two screen grabs below the jump. I’m going back to practicing my rolling off and under the couch move while I’m waiting for the game to ship…
Well, I guess it’s much, much cheaper (and much, much safer) than Valve infecting a bunch of random strangers with a pesky zombie virus and sending out wearing sandwich boards to go door to door and do promotion, huh?
Well, those L4D billboards were definitely pretty darn cool to see all over the NYC area, so it’ll be interesting to see L4D2 pop up in even more places, that’s for sure. Anyway, go pre-order the game before someone at Valve reads this and decides to use that sandwich board idea of mine…
PC gamers listen up! 2K Games and Gearbox Software’s upcoming open world post-apocalyptic Action/RPG/FPS hybrid with something like ninety-gazillion guns is now available as a pre-order on Valve’s always handy Steam game service.
I’ll be running an actual preview on this one shortly (it’s been on the radar for a while, but I haven’t had the chance to write anything yet). Based on the movies, images and art I’ve seen (plus Gearbox’ track record of quality games), Borderlands is looking very much like yet another must-buy release when it hits retail on October 20, 2009 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
PRE-ORDER BORDERLANDS ON STEAM NOW
Borderlands, the new RPS (role playing shooter) from Gearbox Software and Take 2, is now available for pre-order via Steam. Those who pre-order the title from Steam will save 10% off the regular price and be set to play the moment it is released. For more information click HERE
Hey wait… shouldn’t this one actually be Teaser Trailer # 1, given the content and “Coming in 5 days” tease at the end? Oops. Well, watch both trailers in reverse order then. Sorry ’bout that!
Risen is in stores NOW for PC. The Xbox 360 version is coming in 2010.
And I bet some of you thought there wouldn’t be any cool stuff with this sequel… HA! Valve proves you wrong yet again… but in the nicest of ways (and without having to fly you out to Seattle at their expense). Now, be a good zombie killer and click on over to Steam or boogie on down to that favorite game emporium.
And er, you may want to hurry it up a bit, hedgehog – there’s something chasing you y’know… and DON’T startle the damn witch, please… (Shhhh!)
This week, lets take a little trip to one of Dragon Age: Origins’ huge cities, the capital of Ferelden, also known as Denerim. It’s a nice place to visit, but you all know how the rest of that old saying goes, especially if the real world is beckoning you away from more play time with BioWare’s upcoming epic Action/RPG. Well, grab that passport anyway, this is only a short hop today!
By the by, I missed an update regarding the game’s soundtrack, so I’ll just quickly report that the very talented Inon Zur is doing the music for the game. A well-respected composer of film, TV and game scores, he’s done some great work in games such as Shadow Ops: Red Mercury, Lineage II, Fallout 3, both Crysis titles and many others. Meanwhile, back at the travel agency, your cart is ready – shall we get on with the tour?
Meet Subject Zero… don’t ogle her tattooed glory too long or she’s the last thing you’ll see… and no, you probably won’t die with a smile on your face, either. Mass Effect 2’s latest character reveal is this deadly lady who has “been around, ran with gangs, wiped out some gangs.” Yikes.
Updated intel from BioWare notes this:
Let’s say you don’t already own a copy of L4D for the PC but you want to buy it NOW. Well then, pardner, boogie on over to Steam, sign up today and you can get L4D for 50% off of the retail price. You’ll be wiping out hordes of zombies within minutes and “Cha-ching!”, you just saved some money in the process! Of course, this is a LIMITED time deal, hoss – it expires October 1, 2009. SO get cookin’, chief.
As to that new DLC mentioned in the header – read on for details (links below as well):
Here’s a thrilling, nicely edited ad that has parts of the opening cinema. Makes you want to run out and buy this, huh? Trailer # 2 gets posted on Thursday, by the way. Risen ships out to retail shortly for an October 2, 2009 release. The Xbox 360 version is coming early next year and nope, there is no PS3 version as far as I’ve heard (unless that’s the reason for the delay… but I doubt it).
In this latest Dragon Age: Origins character reveal, we meet up with one of the game’s more interesting personalities and yes, he can be part of your party, i hear. Check out the bio on this guy and check to see if you still have your wallet afterward…
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"
