Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Good god I can’t wait for this game to release already… Far Cry 3 was one of my favorite games of 2012 (just behind Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Borderlands 2) and when I caught wind of a downloadable offshoot I was excited for some more Far Cry goodness. Then I started seeing that it was being modeled after something shit directly out of the [...]

Publisher Focus Home Interactive has dropped a brand new trailer for their upcoming action RPG Mars: War Logs. Narrated by Jehanne Rousseau, the CEO of developer Spiders Studios, the overview trailer gives us a fairly decent glimpse at the action, story, conversation, customisation and adventure elements of the game and for a strictly downloadable effort, I think its shaping up pretty nicely. Mars: War Logs is set to release next month [...]

Praise the sun!  Sega has announced that its classic Genesis/Mega Drive Disney platformer, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, will receive generous lashings of HD paint when it gets re-released on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 sometime this summer. The remake of the 1990 classic, which will be a downloadable-only effort for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC, is being handled by Sega Studios Australia who will be working alongside [...]

State of Decay, the supremely ambitious open-world zombie survival romp for Xbox Live Arcade by Undead Labs, has at last been given a release date. Due to arrive this June, which neatly coincides with Microsoft‘s annual Summer of Arcade promotion, the game looks to be a extremely promising prospect and one of the highlights of the year for Xbox Live Arcade. An open-world zombie survival simulation where you have to build fortifications, recruit people to [...]

“THE APOCALYPSE HAS HAD AN APOCALYPSE”, booms the gleefully OTT narrator on the debut trailer for Ubisoft‘s forthcoming Far Cry 3 spin-off, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Doused in 80′s sci-fi neon and a veneer of dodgy VHS effects, the game casts the player as one Sergeant Rex Powercolt (voiced by 80′s sci-fi icon Michael Biehn no less), who has the unenviable task of defeating a massive robot army hellbent on ending the [...]

Guess who’s back?  Classic 90′s platformer Flashback is being given a new lease of life and a new lick of paint from Ubisoft who have today announced the HD remake for release on XBLA and PSN sometime later this year. Being chiefly led by original creator Paul Cuisset, developer VectorCell has rebuilt the game in 2.5D using the Unreal Engine.  So don’t worry, the action will remain locked to the [...]

Originally announced back in 2008, Ride to Hell was publisher Deep Silver‘s crack at creating an open-world biker game, but since then, very little was heard about it until recently. Now back in the public view, Deep Silver has brought not just one biker game to the table, but three; all spread between full retail, downloadable and mobile platforms.

As well as announcing a massive chunk of awesome in the form of the WayForward developed Duck Tales remake, Capcom also had some details to share regarding their recently announced Dungeons & Dragons arcade game twin-pack too which they called Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. A much more straightforward conversion than their Duck Tales effort (an up-rezzing of the existing assets is as far as it goes), Chronicles of [...]

The developers of perennial downloadable favourite Castle Crashers, The Benemoth, have today confirmed through their blog the release date and price of their next outing. The co-operative and competitive multiplayer platform brawler, Battleblock Theatre, will make its debut on Xbox Live Arcade on April 3nd and will retail for $15/1,200 Microsoft Points. Thusly, it looks like April just got a lot less shit and to celebrate that fact, the developer has released a new, deliciously irreverent trailer [...]

After a fairly long wait, the sequel to Overkill‘s snatch & grab shooter-fest, Payday: The Heist, has at last manifested itself in the public eye. Supposedly a much more robust co-op experience than the original and boasting over five-times as many missions, the jointly developed Starbreeze/Overkill sequel is due to arrive on XBLA, PSN and PC later this year. To whet our appetites, the publisher has put out a fact sheet [...]
