Ever find yourself jonesing for some sexy girl-on-girl combat, but short a few dozen clams of Dead or Alive's asking price? Well, I won't say you're not alone, because you might be, but at least now you have other options. Enter Girl Fight, the $10 all-female arcade fighter from the classy gentlemen at Microprose. And yes, I think it's a fair assumption that most of their staff are men.
It's official - Valve is serious about dominating your living room. Big Picture was one thing, but in an announcement today the company has revealed that it will bringing an entire operating system to your TV in the very near future. Fittingly, they're calling it SteamOS.
In the wake of what at least feels like a strong September for Nintendo's Wii U, what with The Wonderful 101 hitting and Wind Waker HD coming shortly thereafter, further good news surrounding the struggling console's future is absolutely a welcome and heartwarming thing. The numbers will tell the real story, of course, but at least the black cloud of relentless negativity has ceased to follow the Wii U wherever it goes.
Gran Turismo fans are some of the most passionate fans I can imagine a sports or racing game series having. That's no slight, either - people get incredibly excited every time a new GT finally becomes available, and a large part of the that has to do with the passion and life's work of series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Sony recognizes this, and to prove it they'll be releasing a documentary about the man, titled KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide.
Though Bethesda and horror may sound like an odd combination, Tango Gameworks' upcoming survival horror game from the reputable American publisher is no joke. Don't take my word for it either- just look at this new TGS trailer. I do pretty well with horror movies, but even so, this is the type of stuff that freaks me the hell out in a major way.
Remember when life was simple, and Hot Wheels just meant setting up a plastic loop-de-loop around Grandma's legs while she was sleeping? Though I'm sure the physical toys still make for plenty of goofy track-building scenarios, it seems as if the videogame series has grown up, gotten out, and gone off-road with Hot Wheels World's Best Driver. The new game looks great and all, but I can't help but hesitate - Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver was a staple of my childhood, and that game was all about driving Hot Wheels on rubber tracks set up throughout a young kid's house. Just like the tracks I used to build! *Sniff* Before this gets too sappy, I should note that the new game has monster trucks. So its got that going for it.
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl has been getting a fair amount of attention from me in the past few weeks, and deservedly so - I can't really recall any remake in recent history getting this legitimate of a makeover. Calling it a remake isn't even very fair, either, when you consider the fact that the story mode didn't even exist in the original game. Atlus, your magic powers know no bounds.
Companion apps are getting pretty popular with blockbuster game releases lately, to the point where they're starting to seem almost mandatory. No, not mandatory because people are demanding them or anything, just mandatory because... well, because. Luckily, in the case of Rockstar and the new Grand Theft Auto V app iFruit, the activities available to lucky downloaders actually seem pretty entertaining.
Following Wayforward's Kickstarter updates for their upcoming HD platformer Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has been incredibly fun thus far, and some of the more recent news out of Sequin Land will be particularly exciting to series fans. Extra playable characters are one thing, but playing as the main protagonist's nemesis is another entirely. If the game reaches its stretch goal of $500k, that's exactly what's going to happen - you'll get to play as Risky!
Geez, these F1 2013 videos are coming on fast and furious (haha, cars!). In the most recent trailer for the upcoming racing sim from Codemasters, the focus is placed on the apparently very important Ferrari 312 T2. I'm no intimately familiar with it or anything, but doesn't change the fact that it looks incredibly sexy coming around the bend at the beginning of this video.
