Pop those rotting tops to the happening chords of “Electric Worry”.
Morning, Valve – what have you got there? Another TV spot for Left 4 Dead 2, featuring the musical talents of Clutch? Don’t mind if we do.
Shocking twist: contents abundant in explosions, gunfire.
Some day we’ll look back and laugh at how we frothed over the release of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2. Some day. Providing we aren’t otherwise preoccupied dropping nukes on obstinate flag-campers.
It’s out next week. Get lubed up.
Our choice of up-comers on Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare and DSiWare.
The eyes. THE EYES.
If you could just tear your eyes away from that Modern Warfare 2 pre-order for a second, I’ve got some downloadable games to pimp.
Stop Stress: A Day of Fury is about anarchic average Joes destroying the physical emblems of a high-pressure urban existence, like toilets, shelves and security guards. As such, it’s going head to head with PlayStation Network’s PA!N.
“Alice, are you all right?”
A site has appeared for the new American McGee’s Alice game, complete with stop-motion teaser trailer and 2010 release date. The trailer gives us the willies. Probably in a Freudian sense, yes – this IS Alice in Wonderland after all.
The game’s coming to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. We love you, new EA.
UPDATE: Apparently the site and trailer are fan-made.
Every hamster has his day.
Travel with me now to an age of mighty heroes and unsanitary animal fixations – an era when men were real men, women were real women, and miniature giant space hamsters were real miniature giant space hamsters.
The hot-headed berserker Minsc and his possibly-extra-terrestrial companion Boo are among Baldur’s Gate’s most fondly remembered characters. Youtube user Sargoth85 has dug up a few sound-bites for your amusement and instruction.
LEGO of my childhood, Rock Band!
Remember when LEGO wasn’t cool? We’re struggling, and we used to build upsettingly true-to-life plastic hands out of the stuff, then leave them in people’s lockers.
With Harmonix’s hard-rocking spot of license integration hitting North American stores tomorrow, the sometime pre-school toy range has never seemed hipper. Check out the launch trailer.
Europeans get it on 27th November.
Japanese adult cartoon industry gets serious ribbing.
Rockstar’s released new Gay Tony material in the form of an advert for one of the parodic TV shows set to appear in the expansion. If you’re a fan of such fine, upstanding Japanese entertainment products as La Blue Girl and Idolm@ster, best not click play. The claws are out.
There’s stabby-killy shenanigans afoot in Renaissance Florence.
Ubisoft’s put the first episode of its spin-off series Assassin’s Creed – Lineage on Youtube. We thought it was the best piece of CGI we’d ever seen till we realised that most of it was genuine film footage. Bah.
They’ve really thrown the kitchen sink at this one. Wish the swordplay was that seamless in the game.
Easier than selling them, apparently.
What’s the coolest thing you can imagine? Nah, this is better. In another bid to justify the PlayStation 3’s (still sizeable) price tag, Sony’s taken to catapulting them into passing Bravia TVs at 80 kilometres an hour.
Hopefully the other system manufacturers will respond in kind. Microsoft were not available for comment at the time of writing, but we reckon that power brick would slow the Xbox 360 down some. The Wii could probably pip PS3 for speed, being smaller and lighter, but would lack penetration power.
Also, you can’t fire a Wii at a Bravia because they’re not HD-capable. Logic, people, logic.
Huang Lee as you’ve never seen him before unless you bought the DS version.
FYI, ladies: this is what Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars looks like when it’s coming out of a PSP. Mini-games now cut in from left or right like comicbook panels; blood is shinier; stuff blows up plenty good. Fundamental differences twixt this and the DS original? NEIN.
Game’s out on 23rd October.
