DeathSpank Review (Xbox 360, PS3)
On July - 19 - 2010
Meet DeathSpank: Hero of the Downtrodden, Dispenser of Justice and Vanquisher of Evil! Not to mention a few sticks short of a bundle. In an adventure both familiar and surreal, the titular hero sets out in search of “The Artifact”, an item both strange and mysterious, its power only outmatched by its mystery. Too bad no one really knows what it is. Not even DeathSpank. He only knows it’s his destiny to have it.

After Burner Climax Review (360, PS3)
On May - 17 - 2010
Back in the 90’s I wasn’t much of an After Burner guy – I was always more into Hang On and Space Harrier – but part of that was because I never owned a home conversion of the After Burner games – they were always something I played, loved, but could never get good at.
Following on from the success of OutRun Online Arcade, After Burner Climax takes the classic formula of that SEGA arcade hit and puts it in beautiful high definition, 3D graphics. You take control of a fighter jet as it flies through a variety of different settings at horrifying speeds, from city skies to perilous mountainous regions and even deep in the heart of the enemy base.
OutRun and After Burner share that in common, as they both sport branching paths and simplistic transitions between areas that have wildly differing art styles. There are fewer branches in the levels here, but the presentation is the same, and still works as well in 2010 as it did back in the day. Read the rest of this entry »
Bionic Command Rearmed 2 confirmed
On April - 20 - 2010
Capcom’s Captivate 2010 went down last week, and we’ve already told you about Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. Also announced at Captivate was the sequel to Bionic Command: Rearmed.
While the trailer was still under embargo, a YouTube user decided to eff that and post it anyway. Rearmed 2 features the same graphical style and gameplay of the original, but with an added bonus: this time Rad Spencer can jump.
The original Bionic Commando: Rearmed was a 2D revamp of the NES classic, and was a big hit for Capcom. Since the original posting of the video the embargo has lifted, so enjoy the trailer right after the cut. Rearmed 2 will be released for Xbox Live and PSN
Lara Croft coming to XBL, PSN and PC this summer
On March - 10 - 2010
Fans of Lara Croft won’t have to wait long before being able to go on yet another adventure with the sultry archeologist.
GDC is well under way and Joystiq met up with developer Crystal Dynamics in order to discuss the upcoming title. The game will launch this summer as a download only, being released for PC, 360 and PS3. The full price of the game will be $15.
As confirmed last week, the game will be a top-down isometric, arcade-style co-op game, vastly deviating from the Tomb Raider series regular third person action perspective. Players will take control of Lara Croft and a Mayan spearman named Totec. Together the two will solve puzzles, destroy enemies, platform and, presumably, raid tombs.
