Bethesda has just released the trailer for their upcomingHunted: The Demon‘s Forge. Quoted as an “unforgettable cooperative action game” from inXile Entertainment, this gory hack ‘n’ slash with lots and lots of dark, slashy fun. The E3 trailer above? Well, it looks … magically co-op. Heroes Caddoc and E’lara work together and to do some damage here, rocking magical attacks and all that. Is this the most amazing game coming soon?...
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto responded to a question that he had to know was coming in a Q&A session yesterday evening. Two years ago at the very same session an attendee asked him about a sequel toPikmin, and Miyamoto said that one was in the works. Now, two years later, the sequel has yet to be announced. Miyamoto responded, “We are makingPikmin, rest assured.” He recalled that in March he was in the UK to receive a BAFTA award for his work, and it was during an interview there that he confirmed that aPikminsequel was in the works....
America loves two things — NFL and lawsuits. So, when these two entertaining entities meet, you have the ultimate American dream. Roughly 6,000 former NFL players are taking EA Sports to court over what they allege is the unlawful use of their likenesses inMadden NFL 09. EA Sports “knowingly and intentionally” created a number of historic football teams in a sneaky way that avoided having to pay licensing fees. One retired footballer, Tony Davis, claims that the publisher used the exact stats of players, including height and weight, but changed the names and jersey numbers to get out of stumping up the cash....
Monster Games, developer ofExcite Truckfor the Wii, is reportedly working on a “top-secret” game for an unspecified Nintendo platform. According to the report fromLocally Grown(based in Northfield, Minnesota where Monster Games is located) the developers have been working on this mysterious title for two years and darkening their monitors whenever a water deliveryman comes to refill their water cooler. It is also being reported that the title is almost finished, which certainly makes us excited....
You know what are nice? Exclusive screenshots ofNIERoffering images of the magic that can be used in the game. It’s probably almost as nice as when you come home after it’s been cold and rainy, and all you want to do is get some game time in, and then you find out that work/school/probation officer meeting has been canceled and then you get to game until three in the morning and then you want pass out because you are so tired and then you wake up and someone has made you pancakes....
Koeiannouncedtoday that previous PlayStation 3 exclusivesFatal IntertiaandBlade Storm: The Hundred Year Warwould also be making simultanious appearances on the Xbox 360. Ooops! IsMetal Gearnext? Shake that Magic 8 Ball and find out. As exclusives continue to flee the system like a stream of refugees, Sony is really going to have to prove that the Cell is worthy and that their online service can be as robust and solid as Microsoft’s — which at the moment it’s not even close....
Nintendo wants you to have it your way, whether that includes tomatoes, onions, or protein-style — but there should be enough meat for everyone. That was the gist of Reggie Fils-Aime’s recent comments in regards to Nintendo’s outlook on the future, which according to him, is all about user-generated content. At the recent BMO Interactive Entertainment conference, Fils-Aime said that the era of “passive gaming” is coming to an end. He went on to outline Nintendo’s outlook on user-generated content, both in past and future:...
Final Fantasy IIIcame out for the iPhone recently, and now an iPad version follows. It looks really nice! Square Enix says that it has improved visuals for the iPad, and that the interface has been optimized for the tablet format. This bigger, better version of the iPhone game (which was a DS game before that) is only going to cost you $1 more on the App Store today. It’s $16.99. While I appreciate the graphical bump and control tweaks, Square Enix could have just as easily made this a Universal App....
Though only officially announced for the PlayStation 3, fresh Intel has arrived indicating thatFinal Fantasy XIVis also in development for the Xbox 360 and PC. The information comes by way of a cheeky Square Enix employee who accidentally let the word slip on his LinkedIn resume. The resume, bold as brass, states thatFinal Fantasy XIVis for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It was already expected that the game would eventually cross over to other systems, so it’s not very hard to imagine....
Last month we got asneak peakatFinal Fantasy: Dissidia, and now Square Enix is giving us a full video preview of their PSP fighting game. The first half is all meaningless text to me, followed by graphics of girly hair swaying in the wind for the countless time in Square history. The in-game footage looks great for a PSP game though, with plenty of particle effects to make combat even more exciting....
The newly revealedSidewayis exactly the kind of game I would expect to see on PlayStation Network. At first glance — especially when looking at static images — it’s hard to tell what’s so unique about Playbrains’ platformer. Your character is actually a two-dimensional painting running around in a three-dimensional urban world. The PlayStation Bloghas a trailerwhich gets the point across rather nicely. If you happen to be in the San Diego area this weekend,Sidewayis playable at Comic-Con (booth #4436)....
If you’ve been keeping up on yourPodtoidssince episode 8, you might be aware that I’m a PSP owner and perhaps one of its more vocal critics. We’re coming up on nearly two years since the PSP’s advent and I can only now come up with a laundry list of reasons why you might be compelled to own them. That I’m evenhere, even bothering tosay stuffabout the PSP, that should mean something....
I’ve got a great freebie for you guys today.Robot Wants Kittyis a game about a robot. A robot that wants kitty. How can you argue with a concept as adorable as that? YOU CAN’T! I really like this game. Each stage starts with a robot that’s completely useless. He can’t shoot, he can’t open doors, he can’t even jump. You have to navigate the level and collect apps that gradually upgrade your robot, avoiding peril along the way....
