Ah, Nathan Drake. Explorer. Survivalist. Purveyor of witty comebacks. We thought that you were gone from our lives when we packed away our PS3s, or at least until Uncharted 4 comes out. Like the Phoenix, though, you arise and return to our lives once more with the addition of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to Playstation Now's library!
Remember when your parents were all like "Don't play with your food?" Ha, they were wrong, because that's exactly what you do in Yasai Ninja, an upcoming beat-em-up game from indie newcomer RECO Technology. Play as two vegetable warriors as they run across the land, doing exactly what vegetables normally do: hit stuff with weapons.
If you follow the mobile scene, it's a sure bet you heard about BADLAND. The game was released in early 2013 and walked away with handfuls of awards from handfuls of publications. A rudimentary local co-op mode was added to the Android, Windows Phone and iOS releases, but tiny screens and multiple players equals meh. That's why BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition is so friggin' exciting: it's coming to PC and consoles!
Particula, a unique tower defense title, recently released on Steam Early Access to ease our minds and get us to have some fun with friends. While not the most well known indie dev, Microblast Games certainly produced an interesting tower defense title that certainly caught our eye.
Did you and a buddy enjoy playing Blue Estate on your fancy new PS4, but wish you had other venues to experience the rail shooter on? Finally, some good news. The comic-to-video-game adaptation (referred to as "Victor Kalvachev's Blue Estate" by fans of the source material) is landing on the Xbox One this February 18th. Steam and PS3 editions will be following suit at a later date.
The most important lesson we achieved from Killing Floor was that it's incredibly fun to blow the arms/legs/head/brain off of a ZED in slow motion. Apparently, Tripwire Interactive wants to hammer the point home, as is evident in these new blood-soaked Killing Floor 2 screens. The M.E.A.T. System is on full display to show us just how many ways you can really screw up one of those nasty ZEDs.
It's almost time to don thy Victorian garb and wade into the monster-infested depths of pseudo-London, circa 1835. Bloodborne is headed to PS4's around the world March 24th, and here to preemptively celebrate our countless in-game deaths is a full 18 minutes worth of gameplay from our friends down at IGN. This section showcases a brand new game from the first cutscene to rollin' around, axing fools that get too uppity.
One of our personal co-op favorites, Borderlands, has gained new life in its multiplayer options! Gearbox recently restored the game's multiplayer capabilities on PS3, which had been shutdown since early last year!
If you told me another big budget zombie game was kicking off 2015, my eyes would have rolled back into the last decade. Dying Light is the evolution of the zombie apocalypse in video games. It is like going from George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days later. The infected are faster, the cities are bigger, and the char...
Remember that Starbound winter update that was teased back in December? Well, it's finally out in the stable build, and it's a big one. So many things have been tweaked and overhauled in Upbeat Giraffe, it's like playing a brand new game. Er, kinda.
Sony Online Entertainment has been sold by its parent company Sony to a private investment group called Columbus Nova. The studio has been rebranded as Daybreak Game Company and will continue to push forth on all current and future projects.
Jason Voorhees is no doubt sharpening his favorite machete right this very moment as he awaits his debut on the small screen later this year. Everyone's favorite hockey-masked slasher won't have to endure his television show alone, however; he's getting a video game! Another one. One totally unrelated to the 1989 abomination so wretched not even Pamela Voorhees could love it. Currently slated for an October released, the project has been tentatively labeled as Friday the 13th: the Video Game.
