Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Konami knows horror, there’s no denying that. With Silent Hill, the Saw games, and of course Castlevania all marching under this banner, we probably shouldn’t be too surprised to see a new horror IP come along, and here it is. Neverdead is coming to PS3 and 360, and it’s going to be an action-y sword and gun thing.

“For NEVERDEAD, we’ve introduced some truly exciting new forms of gameplay and sword fighting, including a unique healing mechanism originally designed and conceived by a former member of Kojima Production,” said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.  “Their contributions, and those of the development team, have helped forge a great new action IP to add to Konami’s vast lineup.”

What, really? Now even the Konami games with only a fleeting connection to Kojima get his name dropped?

NEVERDEAD will feature third-person action gameplay set in a fantasy and horror-influenced universe where supernatural battles between humans and extraordinary creatures blanket a vast city landscape.

NEVERDEAD begins in the waking hours of peace and calm, when the world is under threat of being consumed by a demonic plague. Centuries have passed since the world succumbed to an unforeseen shadow of evil, and a hero was made an immortal by demons. These demons have risen once again in the present day causing unrelenting mayhem reinforced by destructible environments within the game. Now using his immortalic regenerative powers re-assembling his own body to evade death, the hero carries out the only salvation the world will know, for he is Never Dead.
