I came acrossAquariawhile searching Google for “xxx superfish lady pr0n” (otherwise known asNeoGAF), and I was surprised to see what looked like a 2D indie PC game that doesn’t suck. “Truly?”, you cry, “Tell us more!” A very beautiful game,Aquariareminds me a lot of thelast time I got my ass kicked by jellyfish and sharks in an undersea world, but according to the game’s official Web site, it goes much farther than that....
Hockey is a sport that, sadly, has completely fallen off the radar of most Americans. Out of the four major sports in America, it was already the least popular one, but losing the entire 2004-05 season due to that damn lockout dealt the sport a terrible blow. And when ESPN decided not to renew its broadcasting contract at the start of the 2005-06 season, hockey became hard to find on TV....
It would appear that Nintendo hasn’t lost its touch despite the launch of Kinect and Move, with thecompany revealingbragworthy Wii and DS sales over this year’s Black Friday. According to Nintendo, the company reckons it shifted around 900,000 DS’ and 600,000 Wiis over the most undignified day in the American calender. Nintendo encouraged the sales with a few recolors, namely theorange and green DS unitsand theMario 25th anniversary Wii. Despite the gossip claiming that Nintendo is suffering from a downturn of sales, it would appear the platform holder’s doing alright....
Every time I see that there is a new set ofNo More Heroes 2videos on the internet, I expect to be let down. So far, that hasn’t happened. Though this latest set of videos doesn’t have a whole lot of new info, there is a flash of a new character, and even more flashes of panties and underboob. It should seem tacky, but the overarching creepy, fun filled, surrealist atmosphere that permeates each video manages to keeps things classy....
Although they did not make an appearance inDarksiders(save from a brief hint at their existence), we never got to see any other Horseman than War during the course of the game. However, in a somewhat presumptuous but welcome move, it has been confirmed that all four Horsemen of the Apocalypsehavebeen designed. Vigil’s Joe Madureira wouldn’t give details, but simply said “Yes, as a matter of fact,” when asked if the other three Horsemen, known as Strife, Fury and Death had been designed....
At Japan’s AOU 2010, the big game for Sega isProject DIVA Arcade, a rhythm game based on virtual idol Hatsune Miku. This is related to thePSP game of the same name, but now with big ol’ backlight buttons and a huge, flashy cabinet to go along with its beat-style game play. According toGigazine, an IC card with your stored data is used to start the game. Simply tap it on the cabinet and your data is loaded....
Ah April Fools… this is the time of year I like to have an authoritative-sounding man call my mother and tell her I was in a horrible car accident. Then as they’re lowering the casket into the ground I pop out at the last second and we all have a good laugh. Except for poor old Uncle Marty, may he rest in peace. But this year I thought I’d focus on other people’s (less mature) April Fool’s jokes....
Army of Two: The 40th Dayis out in stores today for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. What better way to celebrate the release of the game then with a trailer giving away some key plot points! Also, explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. I really hopeThe 40th Dayturns out good. I liked what the originalArmy of Twotried to do, but it fell short in a lot of areas. Everything I’ve seen media wise for the game so far looks good and I’m looking forward to picking up the title later this week....
Last week, we gave youan exclusive lookat the design process which led to the creation of Tim, the protagonist of the award winning 2D platformerBraid. This week, we’ve got artwork that led to the creation of the game’s enemies. Just like last week, the designs here are by the game’s initial artist, Edmund McMillen, whose work was later altered by the game’s second artist, David Hellman. Feelings seemed to be mixed about Mr....
In my review of the PC version ofBejeweled 3I said it was like PopCap made sure that we would never fully pay attention to anything ever again. But reality set in. I played the sh*t out ofBejeweled 3and then put it aside for something else. That’s life. That’s gaming. But PopCap knows this. They also know that if they re-release the game on other platforms that we’ll play it all over again....
There’s been a fair bit of raging on the internet aboutBest Buy charging customersto perform a firmware update on PlayStation 3 systems. IndustryGamers reached out to the company for a response, to which Best Buy replied with a less than apologetic statement: While many gamers can handle firmware upgrades easily on their own, those customers who do want help can get it from Geek Squad, and we continue to evaluate this offering to ensure it meets their needs....
A lot of good sales are coming down the line this week for us gamers. Best Buy throws their hat into the ring with this Xbox 360 game offer. Here’s the deal: buy one Xbox 360 game and get another for half price. Or, roughly, $90 gets you two Xbox 360 games. What’s nice is that this deal isn’t for those dogsh*t games that they keep up by the checkout counters....
