S.D.G.T. is coming to the Xbox Live Indie Market in January 2013. Never mind the lackluster name. If you thought your Centipede needed a little kick in ass, look no further. S.D.G.T. is a space action game putting you in the seat of a fighter pilot against hordes of aliens. The XBLA trailer shows a bit of the gameplay and what to expect. Enjoy!
There’s definitely something to be said for indie games. After deciding I wanted to play Street Fighter 4 on Steam and spending a solid half an hour being dicked around by Microsoft Games For Windows Live login failures, password resets and security questions, I can see the appeal of a game that doesn’t have multiple forms of bullsh#t DRM, shoehorned into it by out-of-touch publishers.
With Gearbox’s long developed, and highly anticipated, survival horror shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines finally nearing release, Sega and Gearbox have decided its time to start giving you some story details to enjoy. We already know that all this chaos takes place aboard the USS Sulaco and happens after the events of James Cameron’s Aliens film.
Crysis 3 has taken on a strange, amorphous shape in my head. I’m rather excited. I realise I am in a (handsome, intelligent and perceptive) minority in having had a great time in Crysis 2, but I can’t help feeling that Crytek’s mission is laudable. They really do want to make the shooter that covers everything, and is all things to all shooter-fans. Yerli’s quotes in that interview suggest he’s lost none of his ambition, and it’s clear that all kinds of concessions have to be made in projects of this magnitude. And the very least they are aiming high. This new footage, below, contains some spectacular moments. Go take a look.
Tripwire are having a busy weekend, with the announcement of Killing Floor’s now-traditional Christmas spectacular, and a free weekend on Steam for Red Orchestra 2. This Christmas’ Killing Floor event is IN SPAAAACE, which puts robots and Evil Santa on the moon (a free map with Christmas-themed baddies). Could anything be more festive? Watch the trailer below, and decide for yourself. R’ochestra meanwhile is free from now until Monday. It’s a fantastic, rumpled bastard of a game. Worth a few squeezes of the mouse button.
Voxel team-based constructoshooter Ace of Spades is out tomorrow and I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares to my fond memories of yesterweek.
Despite limited success in the world of video games The Games Workshop, the tabletop games they have developed and the influence that those games have had on popular culture is immense. You could be forgiven for thinking that Blizzard was a daughter company due to the similarities between Warcraft and Warhammer, and Starcraft and Warhammer 40,000.
If you don’t own Saints Row 3, Metro 2033, Red Faction Armageddon, Dark Siders and the Company of Heroes series but would like to, now is the time. The whole lot can be yours for under $10 for another 9 days. GO GET SOME.
Everyone’s favourite xenomorphs are back and this time they’re bringing a ‘survival mode’ with them…
OMFG. Elite is BACK! If you’re not excited then you’re probably not old enough to remember it first time around…
