Gearbox and Marketing Honesty – Do You Believe In Life After Lies?

By now it has hit all the major gaming news outlets that SEGA and Gearbox are being sued in a class-action lawsuit over alleged misrepresentation of quality and false advertising of their early contender for worst game of 2013; Aliens: Colonial Marines. I won’t go into too much detail here but you can get the full backstory via our friends at Polygon. This isn’t the first time video game publishers and developers have been under fire for delivering a product [...]

[News] The Project Diva F Facebook Page Directly Affects its Release

There has been talk that Japanese cyber idol would make her PS3 debut in the west recently. What was most convincing was when SEGA posted on their Facebook page asking to like and share a banner calling for fans to support Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F for a western release. Siliconera reached out to Sega to clarify the importance of the Facebook promotion in bringing Project Diva to the west. Associate brand manager Aaron Webber replied: As we gauge interest [...]

[News] Sega Announces Sonic Dash for Mobile

Having an endless runner featuring Sonic the Hedgehog seems like a no-brainer, so some folks might be pleasantly surprised to know that today, Sega finally have announced just that. There aren’t too many details yet, just that it’ll be titled Sonic Dash and supposedly be available soon. “Soon” could mean anything, though. We may see it as soon as this week, or may have to wait until next month. The other thing we know is that it’s coming for iOS [...]

[Review] Aliens: Colonial Marines – More Like Colonial Morons

The Alien movies are rad. There are scary aliens that look super cool, there are tough marines that have bitchin’ technology, the characters are mostly likable, even if you like to hate them. Kicking back and popping in Aliens is always a good time. Honestly, the Alien franchise has so much that could be utilized to make an amazing game. Most studios that attempt it though have been less than successful, with games ranging from okay to bad. When I [...]

[Review] The Cave: Gilbert’s Grotto

The Cave seems like an amazing idea on paper. It takes the character switching mechanics from adventure game classics like Maniac Mansion and wraps them in a beautiful pseudo-adventure game platformer. Helmed by Ron Gilbert, one of my favorite dudes in the industry, and backed by Double Fine’s outstanding art team, to say that I was “looking forward to” this game is a gross understatement. Does The Cave actually equal the sum of its parts or is this sanctum better [...]

[News] Official Release Dates for The Cave

Just a short while ago at the time of writing, Ron Gilbert tweeted official release dates (finally!) for The Cave. On January 22 we’ll see its release on PSN and WiiU, and January 23 is when you’ll be able to grab it on XBLA and Steam (pre-order). In even better news, Mac and Linux are totally not left out here, so basically everyone’s invited. The only thing missing is an announcement for iOS and Android. The game will cost US$14.99 (not [...]

[LTTP Review] Aliens: Infestation

It will come as no surprise that 2011′s Aliens: Infestation has a heavy Metroid feel. In fact, it’s inevitable, given how much the Alien franchise has influenced the Nintendo series. Even so, it also carries its own distinct atmosphere and themes as well, setting itself far apart from the adventures of Samus Aran. While Metroid tells a tale of survival and victory at any costs in an alien climate, Infestation is instead a story of gradual attrition- many may, and many will, fall at the [...]

[News] Project X Zone TGS Gameplay Tempts Me to Import

Looks like Namco Bandai is kicking off the TGS 2012 party early with this new juicy demo footage of Project X Zone. I’m truly tempted to import a Japanese 3DS and a limited first-press edition of the game just to be among the first to enjoy the privilege of playing (and reviewing) it. Life’s too short, baby, gotta live it up!

[Rant] Project X Zone Needs to be Localized

DID YOU SEE THAT UP THERE? Stop reading this, watch it all, and then come back and tell me this shouldn’t be localized.

[PAX] Hunting or Hunted in Aliens: Colonial Marines’ Multiplayer

Though I much prefer the isolated horror of the first Alien to its James Cameron directed sequel, it’s hard to argue that Aliens wasn’t the perfect sci-fi actioner. It’s because of this that it is the sequel that would make the far more tantalizing video game in terms of adrenaline fueled, horror/action combat. At PAX we recently got to try its new “Objective Based” multiplayer titled “Escape”. Trey Highland and myself were given the roles of Colonial Marines trying to [...]
