Preview: Black Knight Sword

Black Sword Knight is, for lack of a better term, bizarre. That is not surprising considering it is coming from the mind of Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacturer, known for their wacky games. You play as a man who is possessed by the Black Knight Sword and is on a quest to kill the evil princess. All along the way you kill other creepy baddies and retrieve hearts from microwaves, not exactly the prettiest of fairy tale stories. The art style however is very pretty, in a...

Hands on: Aliens: Colonial Marines Multiplayer

Like I said in my write up of the live demo, something seemed to be missing, that “oomph” from the live demo. Don’t get me wrong the aesthetics and sound were spot on and fantastic. The iconic sound of the pulse rifle remained and just the general look, gave no doubt about it being a game based in the Aliens universe. Brad and myself stayed away from any harsh judgments and figured we would know more as soon as we got our hands on the game for ourselves. We...

What did the Aliens: Colonial Marines Live Demo Show Us?

Brad Beach and myself attended PAX East 2012 and there were only a handful of games we felt we had to check out, Aliens: Colonial Marines was one of those games. We were shuffled through back door into a small, dark  room with two TVs on the wall and thankfully a comfy floor, as we were exhausted. We were presented with a live solo demo of Aliens: CM and also told that if Gearbox did their job correctly that even “Alien 3 would be a better movie,” as this game...

5Hack, Slash, Loot

Roguelikes: endless dungeon crawling adventure! Zany classes, weird races, heaps of loot and gold, and the dreaded PERMADEATH! Exciting and frustrating at the same time. The lure of these fabulous elements with improved graphics was too much to pass up, and I picked up Hack, Slash, Loot as soon as it popped up on Steam.
