New Sacred 2 Intro Movie
By Joe Haygood | November 11, 2008CDV has released the intro movie for their upcoming Action RPG, Sacred 2. The movie lays out some of the backstory and shows off a few of the classes that you can play as in the game. Look for the game on PC starting today, with a console version coming in February of 2009.
Far Cry 2: Welcome to the Jungle Trailer
By Joe Haygood | October 18, 2008Far Cry 2 is coming out next Tuesday, and Gametrailers TV had a new trailer for the game, showing off the ability to use several paths to finish your mission. I love the idea of waiting for nightfall to approach your target. Looks like I have found my new vice. Well at least for a week until Fallout 3 comes out. One thing that does bother me is that shooting someone in the face at close range should do more damage to the body model. I am not looking for Soldier of Fortune gore, but it should look a bit more realistic. Maybe it is just a late test version of the game that they used.
While I love stealth, I am going to have to try the “Blow Everything Up” approach at least once, for kicks and grins.
Sacred 2 Preview (PC)
By Joe Haygood | October 12, 2008CDV was nice enough to send over a preview disc for their upcoming title, Sacred 2, on the PC. After playing for a few days and going through the storyline, I have come to the realization that anyone waiting for their Diablo III fix would be doing themselves an injustice by missing out on Sacred 2.
In 2004, Sacred dropped on the PC, and I have to admit that I skipped the game, because I just did not have an interest in the game, because at the time, I was really headlong into shooters. Apparently, it seems that the game was highly received, and after four years, a sequel is finally being delivered to fans and new players of the series alike.
Mushroom Men Preview at Gamecock 08
By Joe Haygood | July 18, 2008
Ryan Mattson and Chad Barron of Red Fly Studios were nice enough to take us through a guided tour of their upcoming title, Mushroom Men. The title plays out as an action/platformer, using the standard layout of the Wiimote and nunchuck attachment.
If you are unfamiliar with the game up to this point, Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars deals with the results of a green meteor, falling to Earth, dumping a green cloud of dust along the way. While the dust did nothing to the human population, it gave mushroom and cacti sentience, while turning insects and animals into war-faring armies. You play as Pax, a Bolete mushroom tribe member, who has been tasked with bringing back a new piece of the meteor to his colony to sustain their life. Pax accidentally absorbed the last meteor during training, so his punishment is banishment to the outside world.
New Huxley Game Footage
By Joe Haygood | June 26, 2008So here is the newest footage from the upcoming action MMORPG, Unreal Tournament III Huxley. There is only one problem. The game looks more like Unreal Tournament than any sort of MMORPG. I know that we are watching a video of gameplay, but it seems to have nothing in the way of skill points or anything of that like. Regardless of this video, with so many delays on this game, and the ever-changing style of gameplay from the developers, I have to feel that unless they really pull a rabbit out of the hat, this game looks to be Dead on Arrival.
Some New Gears of War 2 Footage: Multiplayer
By Joe Haygood | June 25, 2008Sifer2400 sent us a new video from GameVideos/1up, that focuses in on Gears of War 2 multiplayer. I would give a bit of a play by play on this, but my current broadband connection is making it look like a slideshow. Enjoy.
Thanks Sifer for the heads up.
Review: Insecticide
By Stephen Munn | April 19, 2008
Insecticide is the first game from developer Crackpot, published by Gamecock. Crackpot is made up of veterans of the PC adventure game genre, in my mind most notably from the fantastic Lucasarts title, Grim Fandango. In fact, Insecticide is coming to the PC in an episodic form, but more on that later, because this review is for the Nintendo DS version.
What isolates Insecticide from other adventure games is the action-shooter-platform portions of the game, which generally have you rushing through areas and fighting enemies, in a format very similar to Ratchet and Clank games. These sections of the game stand in contrast to the adventure portions, which follow a more standard format: wander through a small area collecting items and figuring out how to use those on each other and your environment to pass that area.
Review: Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
By Stephen Munn | April 8, 2008
What is it?
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword is a portable episode in the classic Ninja Gaiden franchise which appeared most notably on the NES and Xbox platforms, with remakes and lesser-known appearances on other platforms. Dragon Sword is an action game that tells the story of series mainstay Ryu Hayabusa’s quest to defend his village from a malevolent plan by a group of monsters who call themselves fiends, who are collaborating with a group of ninja called the Black Spider Clan.
This is an action game, very heavy on combat, with significant RPG elements and unlockable elements.
Stranglehold Review (PC Version)
By Joe Haygood | October 6, 2007
Over the years, John Woo has released a plethora of Hong Kong movie masterpieces. Movies like A Better Tomorrow, The Killer and Hard Boiled show off his skill at putting together a cinematic action ballet. Not happy with sticking to one medium, Joho Woo has stepped into the videogame arena with Stranglehold on the PC.
Stranglehold is meant to be a sequel to Hard Boiled, a critically acclaimed masterpiece by movie critics everywhere. Its charismatic hero, Inspector Tequila is portrayed by Chow Yun Fat, star many Hong Kong action flicks. With these two talents, an interactive medium, filled with a tight story and too many bullets to count, you figure the game would be a no brainer, and for the most part, it is. But there are a few parts that keep it from being a great game.
