Here’s the official trailer for The Simpsons Arcade Game, available now on Xbox Live Arcade and coming to the PSN on February 7 (Today!!!), 2012.
If you were a fan of The Simpsons while growing up, I’m pretty sure you would’ve remembered wasting a lot of quarters playing on this game at the local arcade center. What am I talking about? The Simpsons Arcade Game of course. The classic Double Dragon-style side scrolling beat ‘em up was one of the most fun games you could spend your coin on back then. Fortunately for those of you who didn’t get to experience it back then, will get to enjoy the game today.
Microsoft has announced that The Simpsons Arcade Game is now available for you to purchase on Xbox LIVE for your Xbox 360.e
Good morning, Internet! I’ve been off having adventures, but I suppose I’d better try and put together an entertaining Saturday. Let’s kick off with the latest Aliens stuff: after that CGI trailer it’s good to get at least a few fragments of game footage, which is what you can see below. This latest emission from the developmental innards of the Gearbox creature show a bunch of scene-setting stuff, and then a little of the running about with a gun shooting Aliens stuff. I’m tentatively excited about this one, and it’s been a while since I’ve thought that about a licence shooter.
This massively multiplayer online game immerses you in the world of Star Trek. Now you can explore the galaxy, defend your bases and ships, and play as your favorite characters from the Star Trek TV show. The 2800 return and invade Star Trek online on Saturday, February 11, 2012.
Well here’s a thing. You may remember that last January there was a flurry of excitement at the prospect of a new Cannon Fodder game. The 1993 Amiga classic still generates a lot of love, and people especially like arguing about whether Cannon Fodder 2 was an acceptable sequel, and whether Stuart Campbell ruined it with his sticky-up hair. Let’s fight about that now! But a third never happened, until the peculiarity of Codemasters licensing the title for a Russian-only third part developed by GFI. Codies quickly distanced themselves from it, and things fell silent. But now every other site on the internet has reported the spotting of a YouTube video of some footage by Twitterite superannuation. And, well, it looks like Cannon Fodder with improved graphics.
Polytron’s Fez, a world-shifting indie platformer that’s been coming to Xbox Live Arcade longer than some of you have been alive, might actually be out soon. Why? It’s been rated by the ESRB.
To be rated by the ESRB, it’s got to be almost completely finished, at least in terms of classifiable content.
Last we heard the game was due in “early 2012″, but we’ve long ago learned to mistrust anything that comes out developer Phil Fish’s mouth when it comes to release dates. The ESRB, however, are far more reliable, so hey, Fez! It might be out in a month or three!
EA Partners’ executive says single-player, co-op shooter won’t include controversial pass in an effort to have the game achieve mass appeal. Electronic Arts has stirred up much fervor with its online pass proposition, but Syndicate fans looking forward to the upcoming game won’t have to worry about it.
Speaking to Eurogamer, EA Partners executive producer Jeff Gamon said the publisher chose not to include an online pass with Syndicate, a single-player game with co-op missions, so as to reach the broadest appeal.
“We want as little resistance or barriers to entry as possible,” Gamon told the website. “The co-op is equal billing in this. We wanted everyone who owns a copy of the game to have access to the entire product.”
Canadian animator Joel Furtado wants to see Nintendo make a sequel to Wind Waker. In HD. Since they’re likely to do no such thing, he went and made his own trailer for the dream project.
Called The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle, it looks…well, for a guy working on this for fun in his spare time it looks amazing.
