The prolific PlayStation porting team at Curve has announced it's bringing yet more PC games over to Sony's systems, in the form of Titan Invasion for PlayStation 4, PS3, and Vita. It's actually a double-pack, containing Puppygames' arcade shooter Titan Attacks! and its tower defense sequel Revenge of the Titans.
Spaceships are great, and blowing them up is even better, and blowing up giant spaceships with strafing runs across the vast hulls is best of all. Enter Futuridium EP, a retro-styled space shooter which is making its way from PC and iOS to Vita in revamped 'Deluxe' form.
The stresses of FTL mean captains can become awfully attached to their crew, whether as individuals with their own names or simply as walking stat buffs, so their deaths can be tragic. Handily, the upcoming Enhanced Edition revamp will introduce a Clone Bay to bring lost crew back as good as new. Or, well, almost. It's not quite that simple, of course.
Repeating instances in an MMORPG is generally only done to farm them, not for the fun of it, as they're awfully repetitive. WildStar's taking a different approach with its 'Adventures,' a type of instance with branching routes and stories which change how it all plays out. They're can be quite different to regular play too, with types from tower defense to MOBAs.
The stunt-tastic skiing discipline of slopestyle made its Olympic debut at Sochi 2014, sending skiers hurtling over ramps and grinding down rails. If you fancy having a crack yourself without cracking a rib, why, you're in luck, as Snow has added a cheeky 'Fochi 2014' slopestyle run to its Early Access release.
Ryse: Son of Rome may have been one of the big shiny exclusives at the heart of the Xbox One launch lineup but, well, it wasn't all that great. To stir up a little interest as it continues its DLC plans, Microsoft is running a week-long download sale bringing Ryse down to $39.99. It's also unveiled the second DLC pack, Mars' Chosen, which adds a new co-op Survival Mode.
Suda51's cybernetic executioner Mondo Zappa is coming over from consoles to PC. Killer Is Dead, released on Xbox 360 and PS3 last year, is coming to PC on May 9 at the budget price of $19.99, publisher Deep Silver announced today. It's packing a few extras too, coming with the DLC and a new 'Nightmare' difficulty mode.
If you like your RPG combat turn-based and your weapons imbued with the souls of fairies, perhaps keep an eye out for Fairy Fencer F. Released in Japan last October, the RPG by Record of Agarest War developer Compile Heart's RPG is coming to North America this fall courtesy of NIS America, the publisher has announced.
Japan's favourite virtual popstar Hatsune Miku is almost set to begin touring on Vita. Sega has confirmed that its handled version of the vocaloid songstress's rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F will arrive on March 4. It'll support Cross-Buy with PlayStation 3 for the DLC--but not the full game.
