Where do Affordable Space Adventures come from? Well, little Timmy, when Knytt creator Nifflas and Spin the Bottle dev Knapnok like each other very much, they get together and make an exploration game controlled by a heads-down display on the Wii U touchscreen. As you might expect with such a special game-baby, it'll probably stay living on Wii U.
The appeal of blue-collar profession simulators is, for many, in living out a childhood dream which never came true. Of course, children are a bit weird, so this can take an unexpected direction. The English edition of Warehouse and Logistics Simulator launched this week, accompanied by surprising DLC which turns the forklift 'em up into a zombie murderfest, Hell's Warehouse.
Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up and hold onto your butts, as smash-happy racer Carmageddon: Reincarnation is coming to Steam Early Access on Thursday THURSDAY THURS-DAY March 27. It's been 14 years since we last sheared cars in half and murdered pedestrians with an Electro-bastard Ray, but creator Stainless Games is finally bringing it back.
State of Decay showed how regular folk might fare in the zombie apocalypse, scraping together what little they can and slowly gaining each other's trust. But what about a military unit, armed with such fancy equipment yet burdened with so much more responsibility? The new DLC 'Lifeline' will tackle that question, developer Undead Labs has revealed.
Clicking on monsters until they explode in a shower of coins and weaponry is pretty great, and even better with some robot computer friends to murder them too. Publisher bitComposer today announced squad-based action-RPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms for release on PC this year, a sequel to 2005's Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (released as HK: The Inquisition in North America).
If BioShock Infinite's gruelling 1999 Mode is too easy for a grizzled face-shooter such as yourself, why not take on an extra challenge? The second episode of its Burial at Sea DLC will introduce a new difficulty switch, 1998 Mode, where Elizabeth can only use non-lethal tools.
Clementine's horrifying adventures will continue next week, Telltale has announced, when The Walking Dead: Season Two's second episode, 'A House Divided,' will launch for PC, Mac, and PlayStation 3. A new trailer gives a peek at the unpleasantness ahead. Sorry, Xbox 360 and iOS players--these editions are still waiting on release dates.
Evidently RedLynx didn't think its Trials series was difficult enough, as the first gameplay trailer for Trials Fusion shows it's introducing tricks. Intentional tricks, that is--beyond losing control of your bike in an absurd and hilarious way. The trailer also confirms an April 16 launch for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
It's around this time of year that we start hearing whispers of what Activision's up to with its next big annualized shooter sequel, tales of distant dusty lands and unlikely rumors of space stations. The publisher isn't beating about the bush this time, oh no, it's just saying it: March 26 will bring the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U launch of Cabela's Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts.
We all like to think we'd do the right thing, but I suspect that "the right thing" to you means not apologising profusely to a hostage for the inconvenience, but rather shooting them in the leg. We'll get to judge each other in June, as publisher Devolver Digital today announced that's when a whole heap of moral dilemmas are coming our way in Gods Will Be Watching.
