We're about four weeks away from the official kick-off of the Penny Arcade Expo 2009. In just 28 days we'll be kicking with gamers, playing hundreds of upcoming titles, and mingling with developers. And hopefully you will be too!
It's figures, one day after we post our ArmA II review - Bohemia Interactive releases a new patch for the game. Players can download the patch from the official website, and Steam users will get auto updated.
I'll admit, after watching the trailer for Phono Alliance from independant developer Soft Hope, I wasn't quite sure what I watched. The game is described as a Patapon meets Super Mario Bros. style game. That is, an action platformer with music and rhythym based elements.
If you haven't heard, Starcraft II was officially delayed yesterday by Blizzard. Nobody was really surprised, though many were disappointed. The game was moved into 2010 for a release, and the reasons it was delayed may surprise you.
Looking to get a little co-op action on in the Halo universe? Do you have an itch for a solid RTS title? Do you like blowing things up with giant cannons from space? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then Halo Wars is probably a game you would enjoy - we certainly did.
Military Sims, true Military Sims, are a rarity these days. Instead we've grown used to the likes of Ghost Recon. That's not a knock on Ghost Recon, it's just a true hardcore sim is hard to come by. Enter ArmA 2 for the PC, the latest co-op military sim from Bohemia Interactive. Perhaps there's a reason these sims are a rarity? Or perhaps we just don't know what we are missing.
Activision and Treyarch have released the final trailer for tomorrow's Map Pack #3 for Call of Duty: World at War. The trailer largely focuses on the game's new co-op zombie map called Der Riese, as well as showcases the game's three new multiplayer maps; Battery, Revoution and Breach.
Just in case the four gazillion tracks available for download aren't enough for you, Harmonix is up to something that will bring even more tunes your way. MTV is launching the Rock Band Network later this year. The network is a way for any artist to upload their songs so they can be enjoyed in video game form. How about some details?
CDV has released a fresh batch of screenshots for Serious Sam HD, which comes out on the Xbox Live Arcade and PC this fall. They've also released the box art for the game, which might just be, some of the greatest box art ever created. The co-op friendly game is a remake of the original Serious Sam game which was developed by Croteam.
What would happen if your favorite video game characters decided to pop by your office for some coffee and office hi-jinx? It would probably look something like the video of Salem and Rios, the two lead characters from the co-op game Army of Two, who drop by the EA Montreal Studio offices.
With the recent release of the Gears of War 2 All Fronts Collection, we saw a title update which added numerous cooperative achievements to the game. Not only were there three available for the story based content, but an additional dozen for Horde mode on the new maps. Me, being the gamerpoint loving son-of-a-bitch I am...well I just had to have these.
The best weapon against the onslaught of Ninja Henchmen is a pair of knee high boots and a nice set of cleavage, case in point pictured above. But when you add in a second set with a splash of purple, the ninjas don't stand a chance.
