Are you over rhythm games? You may not want to see another because generally most of them are basic duplicates of each other with out anything extra added on. Well Kick Beat is hoping to offer something new as a character driven rhythm fighting game coming to the PS Vita. As Neil Sorens, Creative Director for Zen Studios put it, “Several years ago, we asked ourselves, ‘What would happen if we took a beat-matching game, replaced the abstract cues like bars, arrows...
Here’s a new video from Konami for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in which Raiden takes on Metal Gear RAY. If you’re interested in how it feels to actually play it, here is Chris Lock’s preview of it. I still have hope for Metal Gear RR since Platinum Games is the developer. If you’re unsure of who they are, they created the amazingly great, Vanquish. If you have not played Vanquish, you really need to sort you life out.
Orc Attack has almost hit its $32,000 goal on Kickstarter which must be met by December 9th and in an effort to help push support they have released a new trailer. In the “Dirty Mode” trailer the team is showing fans what happens when these vile Orcs release their collective flatulence to lay their opponents to rest.

With the Golden Trigon firmly strapped to the Megatome, we feel more power than is probably right. Indeed, there are two more Trigons to acquire before we can settle the mystery of the dream-walker. If there is one thing that we now know, it is that these Trigons hit very hard. I wonder if we can tame at least one more before our time is at an end.
Rockstar is definately one of the few developers who can go from releasing nothing but a screenshot to full on trailers by the bucket loads. Is it bad that a single trailer changed my mindset about this game from “meh” to “hells yeah!”? Because if it is, then sue me. Grand Theft Auto V’s new trailer shows off our three protaganists in a Los Santos filled with planes, trains, and automobiles as well as a lift on that annoying ban on dogs they had...
If you tuned in last week to the introductory episode of S:S&SEP, this one will take you further down the rabbit hole. With alternate realities and Sylvan Sprites to rescue, there is no shortage of that Superbrothers brand of ethereal weirdness. If you haven’t watched last week’s episode, I encourage you to do so here. That said, bring the noise!
I’ve recently played an atmospheric and wonderful little adventure game called Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. This simple title has a charm that both grounds and elevates the point and click adventure genre. Grounding because of all the references and allusions to other games, as well as the definite King’s Quest vibe I get from it. Elevating because of all the contemporary-isms which make this title feel fresh and new. You’ve already asked...

What’s more nerve racking, demons or monsters? In Outlast, you play as journalist Miles Upshur, as he acts on a tip about Murkoff Asylum. What he finds there may me one in the same. Murkoff Asylum was at one time, just that, an asylum for the loonies. Now it’s a charity, I know right? Outlast is the first title of a newly formed independent studio Red Barrels, founded by devs that have previously worked on titles such as Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell...
