Earlier this week we brought you some crazy videos featuring the three Rin assassin sisters from Anarchy Reigns. Today, we have two dozen more screens from the multiplayer fighting game. Most of the game's impressive roster is well represented. Jack Cayman and Co. are dishing out pain by the bucketload. I don't know what's happening in the header image, but Durga's mechanical foot looks like it means business.
Good games never die. They just get cheaper. Unless they're rare. Then they get ridiculously expensive, but I digress. Luckily for us, and fans of good games everywhere, Sony is offering all of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves DLC for the low, low price of el zilcho. That's right. It's all free.
What's that I see? Is that a woman dual-wielding flaming fans about to start a fight with oncoming traffic? It must be time for an Anarchy Reigns update!
PlayStation Plus members are once again being treated to a stellar month of perks. Sony's online subscription service is offering up several free games this May. My subscription paid for itself last month, and I'm looking forward to adding to my collection.
There is something quite Stat-tacular when a game series reaches a certain maturity. The Halo franchise recently created an infographic showing how many times the game has been played over the years and now it is the turn of the Uncharted series. The franchise has been co-op since the second game and with over 15 million games sold, let’s hope for more. Check out the gallery for the full size image and bask in the history of Nathan Drake and the fact you have all been playing the games for more than 2500 years.
Last week Namco Bandai announced the Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition for the PC. The punishing RPG was originally going to be available only on consoles, but a popular online petition (and I'm sure a few behind-the-scenes factors) convinced Namco to bring the game to PCs. It wasn't that big of a surprise. German and Australian sources had already tipped their hand a few weeks ago. Self-loathing PC gamers with a penchant for masochism were understandably delighted.
Bad news, lost souls of Boletaria! Demon's Souls servers are going offline forever next month. Atlus has announced a server shutdown before, but I think they really mean it this time. If you decide to fire up your copy of Demon's Souls you'll be greeted with the following message:
One of Namco Bandai's worst-kept secrets has been confirmed. The Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is coming to PC. And it's bringing a lot more than just a few bosses. It has cooperative matchmaking, people! COOPERATIVE MATCHMAKING!!!
Prepare to die. Again. Dark Souls is coming to the PC. According to German gaming magazine, PC Action (via a very literal Google Translate): "The stick hard console-rpg finally conquered their PC!" You see kids, online petitions do work! "Stick hard" indeed!
Indie developer Carbon Games were showing off the latest version of their RTS/MOBA hybrid called AirMech at PAX East 2012 and I chatted with a member of the developer about the game. The idea of it is a hybrid of the genres, players won't be building any bases like traditional RTS games, but they will have a variety of structures to manage units from. And unlike most MOBA games (think League of Legends) - players have more direct control over the other units on the battlefield.
Crimson Dragon, the sequel to Panzer Dragoon in everything but name, now has an official Japanese site. And with that site comes a few new screenshots as well as higher-quality versions of the ones originally provided by Famitsu. Additionally, the game's dazzling trailer (previously glimpsed via camcorder video on YouTube) is available for download to Xbox 360s with a Japanese Xbox Live account. Siliconera has kindly uploaded the trailer for all the world to see.
Last September, it was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show that Sega's new fighting/brawler hybrid, Anarchy Reigns, would feature two campaigns. The White story centers on newcomer Leo, while the Black side focuses on Jack, the Madworld veteran. Siliconera has recently dug up two new trailers from developer Platinum Games which showcase the first stage from both campaigns.
By my calculations, I haven't posted anything about Dark Souls in about 68 days. Amazing, I know. Luckily for me (and you) Facebook has given us something post-worthy. 21 hours ago the official Dark Souls page began teasing an announcement. There has already been rampant speculation concerning DLC or a PC port, both of which would be well received by the community.
I don't know why companies still insist on creating code names for their products before coming out with the official title; I was happy with the Nintendo Piddle, before they changed it to the Wii. The latest name change surrounds the spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon. Project Draco shall now been known as Crimson Dragon. Along with a new name, some equally new details are beginning to appear about this elusive exclusive for the Xbox 360 Kinect.
We greatly enjoyed Dungeon Hunter: Alliance in its other forms on the PSN and iOS, but now that we've got another portable version how does this stack up with true console like controls? Lets find out.
