I am about to say something radical guys, I like Raiden. I like him as a character, I like him as a ninja, and I like him as a protagonist. Now to say something less radical. I like Platinum Games. Though I have never beaten one of their games, I have enjoyed all the time I have spent with them. So imagine my dismay when I did not enjoy my time with Metal Gear Rising Revengeance . My demo began about mid way through a mission and so I was not treated to the tutorial...
While planning for PAX there were multiple skype meetings between the staff that was attending the show. During almost every single meeting I tried to convince everyone to go see Orc Attack with me, it never worked. Near the end of our last meeting before the convention I was able to make Austin agree to go with me; after I told him you could fart to attack. So during PAX we would walk by the booth, always with somewhere else to be, and say “We gotta get to Orc Attack.”...
This week has seen the introduction of quite a few small-development games. Some of them with retro-style nostalgia working for them, and some of them utilizing modern ideas, engines, and gameplay, they all look pretty promising, so let’s get into it. The Basement Collection Edmund McMillan’s viral games are so addictive, unique, and filled with gameplay elements from my childhood, that I can’t stop playing them. Get it! The collection also features 2...
At PAX this year the indie presence was huge. There is a reason they have a large section carved out, called “The Indie Mega Booth.” It is massive, and full of really interesting games. However, not all of the indie games exist within this amalgamation of ideas. One such outlier, Gheldia, stood on the 6th floor, far away from all the other indie games. It was on that floor that I saw this up and coming gem and love happened. Gheldia is a top down game in the same style...
I could tell you about The Last of Us. Or you could watch the video for yourself. The following video is beat for beat the demo that was shown at PAX prime this year. However, there are a few minute things in this video to pay attention to besides the lush environments. If you notice a couple more, let us know in the comments. There was mention of “Clickers,” quite possibly referring to the zombies. When Joel heals himself, the bandage stays on. A great deal of actions...
I have seen a live demo of the solo campaign at PAX East and even had the opportunity to play some team DM as well. At PAX Prime 2012, four of us from LevelSave had the chance to check out Aliens: Colonial Marines newly announced game mode, Escape. Many of us enjoy multiplayer in a great shooter. If you’re anything like me though, unless the mechanics of the game itself are somewhat unique, you get bored very quickly. So upon hearing we were being given the opportunity...
Levelsave Editor Raven Poplar recently caught up with game developer, Mark Jordan, who helped make Armada, a space-shooter action/RPG for the SEGA Dreamcast. Let’s see what he’s up to these days, yes? Hey Mark, tell our readership who you are and what you’re doing. Hi, I’m Mark Jordan. I do art and design. With me is Roger Fang. He is a game programmer. We have been working together for 16 years or so. We are currently working on Armada...
By now I have already arrived at PAX and am probably on my way back. I really hope this did not actually happen. Oh and if the joke seems a little nonsensical just Listen to our podcast Save Game+ and you will probably understand.
This week, Steam has seen the emergence and redistribution of some great games. More exciting than that, though, is the Greenlight system! Lots of indie titles can be voted on by the community to help get them a spot on the Steam New Releases list and, by proxy, the Steamfeed. This exciting new forum is the place where good-quality, though under-appreciated, releases like UNepic, Cards and Kingdoms, and Towns are being featured and await your vote. At any rate, this weeks...
It is a question that has plagued man since the dawn of time… it is the eternal struggle… the fight between good and evil. In life of course we all strive to be the hero, the one people look to when they need help. For me however, video games changes that reality in an all too sadistic way. Playing as the villain is more fun than any hero story could have ever dreamed of being. Why stop and help that poor pedestrian when you can shoot them in the head and loot...
