Well, well, well… -looks like Capcom and Tesla Motors have teamed up for quite a killer giveaway. Yup, you can enter and WIN a Tesla Roadster or a free trip to Vegas to test-drive one of these speedy electric beauties. Nice… Check out the details below and if you’re a US resident, try your luck! If you win, don’t forget who sent you to the site to enter… I’d like a spin in that red Roadster just to see how fast it can go!
Just when you thought it was dead and gone (or at least delayed indefinitely to the ninth circle of development hell), Namco Bandai unearths a few new screens and info from Splatterhouse, set for a Q3 2010 release on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Given all the stormy stuff that took place during the game’s bumpy early development process, it’s excellent to see the project still going strong and looking quite nice (well, “nice” in a gory, horror game sort of way).
Now that this is an in-house development deal, my one suggestion to Namco Bandai (and I’m sure they’ve gotten this request already) is to PLEASE add some awesome bonuses to this one for us fans of the original games! It would be really fantastic to see either the Arcade version of the original or perhaps the Genesis versions of Splatterhouse 2 and Splatterhouse 3 as bonuses. Heck, how about the very fun Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, a hilarious Famicom game with great SD graphics and a pretty funny storyline? If that’s not possible, at LEAST give us a gallery of classic and new images that’s high-res with a zoom feature so folks can check out the art and not have to squint their eyeballs out of their sockets…
Playlogic says it loud: “We’re M-rated and we’re proud!” with this hilariously bloody magazine ad for the upcoming hack ‘n slash/platformer hybrid. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me and yup, PROVES without a shadow of a doubt that this one’s NOT for the kiddies. AT. ALL. So, there.
Fairytale Fights ships on October 27, 2009. Yeah, go pre-order this one before the ban-happy crowd find out about it. It’s going to be a real doozy of ultra-violence, that’s for sure…
Yowza – Yeah, yeah, I JUST ran a post on the game, but I just now checked my VPO email and this popped out at me. Man, this whole Dragon Age: Origins deal is getting pretty damn awesome by the day, huh? BioWare just plain rocks when it needs to (which is always in my book). Check out the official press release for the juicy, happy details… and go PRE-ORDER the game if you haven’t, grrrrr…
In this week’s Dragon Age: Origins update, we take a look at one particularly nasty game bug (what?)… one that’s supposed to be in the game (calm down, now), and a BIG one at that (You may want to start screaming right about… now). Ewwww. I could say something silly like “Brood to the Mother” or worse (although that’s pretty damn terrible), but I’m only trying to lighten the mood a bit. Man, is that one ugly mass of monster. She looks like she ate Jabba the Hutt, his entourage and about half of the Death Star with a side dish of cold Cthulhu cutlets. Color me rattled. Thanks, BioWare. Get the Raid and hobnail boots ready, folks – here’s this week’s intro text and screenshots (and a nicely bloody trailer, which is HERE – not for the kiddies):
No one knows how the Darkspawn truly live in their tainted warrens beneath the earth, although a few Grey Wardens have, on occasion, delved deep into the old Dwarven tunnels in an effort to find the heart of the Darkspawn corruption and scour it clean. Those who ever returned, did so with ashen faces and spoke only of a creature called a “Broodmother” that haunted their dreams for the rest of their short existence. What the Broodmother truly is, only the Grey Wardens know for certain.
Dragon Age: Origins hits stores on November 3rd for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Back with another update soon!
Here you go – most of the Achievements and Trophies in the PS3 and 360 versions of Playlogic’s upcoming beat ’em up/action/platform hybrid. I can see plenty of folks diving right into the blood sliding stuff, as it’s certainly a ton of fun (except when you go sailing off a cliff!) and from what I’ve played, nabbing loot and finding treasure chests can get addictive if you’re a completion hound that HAS to have everything. Bumping off 250 enemies with no weapons? That one should be a breeze, given the great combat system and how cool it is to use.
As for the rest? Well, read on, MacDuff…
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…
Sega continues to crack me up in all the right ways these days. Shenmue’s lead character Ryo Hazaki is all set to make quite a comeback and nope, he’s not looking for any darn sailors this time! Check out these pretty slick screens from Ryo’s return in next year’s Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing.
All I’ll say (other than doing a happy dance after seeing Ryo after too long) is I’m hoping we also see the return of a certain Daytona racer, a Harrier or two from Space or some other Planet, and perhaps something colorful from a Fantasy Zone (among others). Hey SEGA! I have about 500 Mega Drive, Genesis, SMS, Game Gear, Dreamcast and Saturn titles here… If you need a few more suggestions of who to put in the game (or who to add as DLC), you know who to call…
The press release is a hoot and a half – check it out with more screens below the jump…
Preview versions of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Playlogic’s Fairytale Fights showed up last Friday and after digging myself out from under a pile of other work, I finally got a chance to spend some quality time with the game. After diving in and coming up covered in blood and chunks a few days (and many replays) later, I’m even more impressed with how the game has progressed. The Unreal 3 powered hack ‘n slash/platformer hybrid is really coming together in this latest build and is shaping up to be an outrageous, surefire hit for hardcore gamers when it’s released on October 27. If you like your games bloody, challenging, controversial and off the charts hilarious, what’s here will keep you giddy and bouncing up and down like kids in the back seat on a Sunday drive sugar high.
