TakeGears of War, add gravity mechanics and a bit of aTimeShiftvibe, and you haveInversion. We got to try out two-player co-op in a campaign level during gamescom, and yep, it was a cover-based shooter with bulky men who shoot bulky non-human-looking enemies.

Project Zomboidhas gained a cult following since it released earlier this year. Like all indie games, it relies entirely on dedicated support from fans in order to survive. So when people decide to pirate the game, it’s going to hit the studio pretty hard. Hard enough to force the three-man team to take the game offline. It’s worth noting that the game being stolen costs a measly five bucks. Stay classy, gamers!...
Yesterday it waspretty strongly rumoredthat Sony had discontinued the mewling abortion that is the PSPgo, quietly dropping it from production and hoping nobody would notice. Of course, when itwasnoticed, Sony tried to dance around the issue, but has finallycome cleanand admitted it’s over. According to the publisher, the device has been scrapped so that Sony can concentrate fully on the NGP. It would appear other models of the PSP are still in production though, so I guess Sony didn’t need to concentratethatmuch....
For the next two days, I’ll be in Las Vegas (hopefullySARS freethis time) to take a damn good look at some upcoming games and such from Midway. Well, on the flight here from New York, there just so happened to be a Nintendo marketing dream sitting next to me — an old dude with a DS. While watching TV at my seat, I see out of the corner of my eye that this old dude — we’ll call him gramps for this story — whips out a white DS Lite....
Lots of places are accepting your Nintendo DS or DSi variants as trade-ins towards a new Nintendo 3DS, but Radio Shack is actually going the extra mile by also accepting your PSP go. Through Saturday, April 2, The Shack will take your Sony 16GB PSP go or Nintendo DSi XL and give you credit towards a 3DS. Through trade-in you’re able to knock the price of the 3DS down to $194....
Here’s a random surprise: Rebellion Developments’Rogue Trooperis being ported to the Wii. The game — which is a port of last gen’s Xbox, PS2, and PC title — is being handled by Reef Entertainment for Nintendo’s console. The third-person shooter follows the story of Rogue Trooper, a genetically engineered super-soldier of the future who has taken on the abilities of four of his fallen comrades. The title is based on a popular British comic strip that has spawned multiple games, including a title for the Commodore 64 in the mid-80s....
Alan Wakeis a game with a long, long history. First announced in 2005, this “psychological action thriller” was originally in development for the Xbox 360 and PC. But aside from a few scant details, the game’s developer remained strangely silent for the vast majority of its five-year development history. Then it was announced as an Xbox 360 exclusive with mixed reasons provided by Microsoft and developer Remedy. Such a storied development history usually bodes ill for the game in question, but Remedy and Microsoft have been consistently confident thatAlan Wakewill be one of 2010’s outstanding titles....
Despite the fact that it looks a little generic, I’m quite looking forward to Deep Silver’s upcoming PC and Xbox 360 RPG,Risen. I don’t know why, outside of my soft spot for Western-themed roleplaying games, but I am still quite interested in checking the game out. Anyway, here are some pretty pictures. The human characters look a little big bland, but I’m liking the creatures, especially the eyeless gorilla tube-mouthed thing in the header image....
Lionhead Studio’s “game” that was probably just really always a tech demo anyhow,Project Milo, has been shelved, according to a source speaking withEurogamer. Word is that the project was shut down earlier this week, with 19 contractors hired to work on the project laid off. In its place, it’s said that technology fromMilowill be used in the development of a “Fable-themed Kinect game.” The history of “what’s up with Milo?...
Japanese development icon Yu Suzuki is possibly getting ready to jump on the HD waggle bandwagon, with a one-on-one fighting game in the works, exclusively for the PS3. It will allegedly incorporate the PlayStation Move, and is apparently based on a title that Sega had previously canceled. According toANONYMOUS SOURCES, Suzuki will reveal his game at E3. The fighter is based on “real human interaction and competition,” but that’s all we know about the title so far....
As we saw earlier this week,Saints Row: The Thirdwill not be including a multiplayer option, instead pouring its efforts into the single-player and co-op features. According to THQ, this was due to consumer demand for co-op, making it far more important than competitive modes. “The majority of people wanted the single-player and co-op experience, so we’re focusing on blowing that out of the water,” said senior producer Greg Donovan inGame Informer....
THQ has confirmed that the third installment in the rather excellentSaints Rowseries, handily namedSaints Row 3, is going to release later this year. In the Fall, to be exact! According to THQ CEO Brian Farrell, Volition is “setting a new bar for this outstanding franchise,” with more information to be unveiled in the near future. That’s all we really know so far, but I am damn excited.Saints Row 2is one of my favorite games of the generation, so I cannot wait to get back into a world of crossdressing, poo-spraying and scarily psychotic justifications for completely unreasonable violence against those who disagree with us....
