Can We Please Make a Game Dev Reality Show?

Right now I’m watching Penny Arcade’s Strip Search reality show in what certainly feels like a devout fashion. While it stands out on its theme of bringing together a group of strangers to compete in an artoff, it really is just as formulaic as any other reality TV show out there. In that regard I would say that Penny Arcade found success simply because it’s just a good show at tying together the Penny Arcade brand and what they represent. [...]

 

Brand New Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Debuts

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. It’s Arc System Works’ 25th year in heavy metal action and to celebrate, the developers are delivering a brand new Guilty Gear game. Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- will be the newest entry into the veritable franchise, my favorite fighting game franchise. Interestingly enough the new ridiculously named title is being developed on the Unreal Engine of all things. And you know what? The game looks amazing. The trailer above shows off [...]

Black Rock Shooter: The Game LTTP Review – Trent Reznor Senpai!

I’m an anime fan but even I’m not fully versed in the Vocaloid lore that spawned off into the action spin-off, Black-Rock Shooter. Chances are if you’re looking up this game, then you are a member of that same niche market and which case you’ll know already if you plan on purchasing the game. Still, for the rest of you I’ll be more than happy to explain the unique action styling of Black Rock Shooter: The Game.

New Digimon Trademark Suggests Digimon World Re:Digitize May Come West

Digimon World is a series that started on the Playstation back in 1999, that took place within the universe of the popular Digimon franchise. Last year the series was rebooted for the PSP with Digimon World Re:Digitize. The new game featuring artwork from one of my favorite artists, Suzuhito Yasuda (Yozakura Quartet, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor) was popular enough to get an upcoming, enhanced 3DS port titled Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode. Bit of a mouthful yeah? Namco Bandai has [...]

Ten Disney Classics That Need a Remastering

The Walt Disney Company has been moving to get directly involved in the video games industry for a number of years now. This idea moved them to acquire Warren Spector’s talents for their Epic Mickey reboot and push heavily in to the mobile and online sphere of gaming.  While the success of these new ventures have been hit and miss, it finally seems like Disney has settled down and decided to invest in what they do best; they’ve decided to [...]

Run With the Devil – Five Developers That Should Make a Daredevil Game

I signed up for the closed beta for the Marvel Heroes MMO which is coming out on June 4th of this year. The prospect of playing as these characters has gotten me in the mood to revisit some of my favorites from back in the day. When I was a kid, I collected X-Men, Spider-Man, Alpha Flight (Canada, fuck yeah!), Captain America, and a bunch of other stuff. The comic I loved the most however was the Man Without Fear; [...]

Black Rock Shooter The Game Coming to US PSN April 23rd

It’s finally happening. Black Rock Shooter The Game is coming out in the US later this month (Europe in April 24th) via the PSN store. A spinoff of sorts from (have you heard of?) Hatsune Miku, Black Rock Shooter started out as a piece of fan work before exploding in popularity to become its own franchise. Developed by Imageepoch, the game was announced for localization a couple years ago by NIS America. Today the company announced that they will be [...]

 

Spotify and Rdio Playlist Inspired by Hotline Miami

  Hotline Miami has one of the most fun and original video game soundtracks of the past year (or several, in my opinion). Both the visuals and the music of the game were inspired by the movie Drive, which I also loved. Before watching Drive or playing Hotline Miami, 80s culture kind of, well… creeped me out. Both Drive and Hotline are creepy in their own right, but surprisingly, they actually stimulated my interest for this kind of music. I [...]
