When the forces of darkness assault Midgard, who shall stand to defend the future of humanity? A bunch of adorable chibi-anime warriors, if Soul Guardians: Age of Midgard is to be believed. Yes, in a world where valkyries decided to take the souls of only the cutest combatants up to Valhalla, your team must battle through demon-filled dungeons in this free-to-play 2d action game, currently for Android devices.
Happy Wars, the free-to-play (for Xbox Live Gold subscribers) team-based game just received another title update this past weekend. The 14th title update to date for the game, this one introduces horses, a league system, and a campaign that runs through June.
We just got word from Ronimo Games that they will be bringing their 2D MOBA, Awesomenauts, to another of the current gen consoles, Xbox One!
It's an all indie release week this week. Only PC owners will get treated with new games to play, both available on Steam.
Contraption Maker, the sandbox puzzle game from the makers of The Incredible Machine, was first presented to the world back in the fall of 2013. Its alpha release was a little rough, but the dev team has been chugging along all these months with tweaks and improvements and additions. The official "beta" stamp means all of the core systems are in play and the big 1.0 release isn't far away!
Homefront was one of THQ's last big hurrahs before the publisher folded in 2011. While the big budget game didn't get great reviews, it amassed a small following though it also helped contribute to the publishers demise. When all of THQs assets went up for sale, Deep Silver bought quite a few big ones - like Saints Row. Cyrtek on the other hand snagged the rights to Homefront. Today they are joining forces to bring Homefront: The Revolution.
ibb & obb is on Steam! Isn't that nice? Yes, yes it is nice! The gravity-inverting cooperative puzzle game from Sparpweed took the better part of a year to make its way from PS3 to PC, but it brought with it everything that made the original so great, including both local and online co-op for two players!
Whoosh! That is the sound of time flying by. It's getting towards a year since the PS4 and One launched and if games like the 2 player co-op Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive are anything to go by, this generation is about to hit its stride. Check out the new development trailer for Sunset that goes into detail about the weapons in the game.
Out this week is update 1.06 for Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition, bringing skin packs, textures, and quite a few fixes to improve the play experience. The Candy and Natural Texture Packs will provide more variety in your creations (dare to combine them?) and are complimented with two skin packs, Pack 2 and the Battle & Beasts ...
The weekend is here! Praise be to the video game gods. Sure we could go outside and enjoy the weather...but...pshawwww....videogames.
Borderlands 2 had plenty going for it; top notch 4 player co-op, loads of guns and Claptrap. One additional entertaining element was being harangued by Handsome Jack, the archenemy of our loyal Vault Hunters. The new Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel trailer teases the fall of the once great Jack and the rise of the infamous Handsome Jack.
Summer is a mere month away, meaning another Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade is sneaking up on us. Of course, we don't know which pick up and play games will be included in the promotion, though an Xbox 360 only release with the release date of "Summer 2014" might give you a hint. Speaking of which: AirMech Arena is dropping this summer for Xbox Live.
