Metro: Last Light

Posted on Jul 15, 2011 05:56:51 PM

Metro: Last Light is an upcoming action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror and first-person shooter elements.

The game is set in 2034 in the same setting as Metro 2033, the Moscow Metro. The game picks up after the “bad” ending from Metro 2033, in which Artyom delivers a devastating attack on the mysterious supernatural race known as the Dark Ones. The station-cities of the Metro struggle for power using weapons found in D6. The player follows Artyom, the main protagonist from Metro 2033, as the supposed “key to survival – the last light in our darkest hour…”

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon

Posted on Jul 9, 2011 01:09:15 AM

When the apocalypse comes, there will be worse things than radioactive clouds or gnashing zombies.

     

In Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, the banner of doom is being carried by thousands of gigantic bugs that no can of repellent can hope to deal with. But if total annihilation is inevitable, you might as well enjoy your final hours. Over-the-top destruction is the focal point of this lighthearted shooter, and there’s an undeniable thrill in blasting overgrown ants with your grenades, plowing through abominable spiders while in a tank, or just toppling buildings on a whim. There’s little need for strategy when you can just blast everything that moves, so it’s a matter of readying your aim and unleashing holy hell.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon has lots of explosions and destruction, but not quite enough variety to keep things moving.

Score: 7.0 / good

From Dust Video Preview

Posted on Jul 8, 2011 05:00:00 AM

Wield divine power in this upcoming downloadable game from Ubisoft.

PC gamers have cut their teeth on world-building strategy titles since the dawn of time — it makes sense, then, that Out of this World creator Eric Chahi’s upcoming god game, From Dust, will arrive on the PC day-and-date with its Xbox Live counterpart. If you’ve got a hankering for cultivating a tribal island paradise and then volcanoing it to the ground — or, more likely, a hankering for more Chahi — you can grab the game from the usual digital vendors on July 27 for $14.99.

Battlefield 3: No Plans For Modding Tools

Posted on Jul 7, 2011 04:30:38 PM

German computer-games investigators Gamestar got a chance to talk to EA’s Patrick Söderlund, and you can see that interview embedded below. It covers a number of issues, but most tellingly reveals that DICE have no current plans to produce modding tools for the game. Söderlund claims that that modding would be “very difficult” due to the complexity of the levels and features like destruction.

Ah, yes. The modding community: famously confounded by complexity and difficulty, only able to get their heads around the simplest of game technologies… But seriously, not producing modding tools is surely going to be a commercial decision, and I almost wish that were the reason given.
