Here Comes Another Xbox Bundle

Posted Feb 28, 2012 at 4:47PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: kinect, kinect adventures, kinect sports, live gold, Microsoft, xbox 360

And it’s white!

Early this morning, Microsoft (via Major Nelson) announced that yet another Xbox 360 bundle was on its way to store shelves. This one, the Xbox 360 Special Edition 4GB Kinect Family Bundle (seriously?), starts shipping immediately—look for it at your local retailer sooner rather than later.

So what comes with this particular bundle? Here’s a breakdown:

White Xbox 360 4GB

White Kinect

White Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

Kinexct Sports

Kinect Adventures

Three Months of Xbox Live Gold

The bundle will be priced at $299, making it one of the best deals around if you’re on the market for a Kinect and an Xbox with a ridiculously small hard drive. Microsoft also announced that a special edition white wireless controller is launching with the bundle, available for $49.99. No word on why it’s so special.

Do you think Microsoft’s ever-changing bundle system is a good idea for sales, or are the many bundles simply confusing consumers?

And it’s white!

PoV: How Games Bleed into Our Social Lives

Posted Dec 29, 2011 at 1:15PM EST by Listed in: PoV Tags: pov, skyrim

Video games used to be the domain of the nerdy basement dweller. Now, they’re changing the way in which we interact with friends, family and strangers.

Last night, I went to a wonderful pizzeria in Chicago to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Drinks were had and merriment was made, and at some point during the night conversation turned to Skyrim. One of my friends was curious about the game, and wanted me to explain the basic gist of how it works. As I was explaining the game, someone at the next table over exclaimed “Are you talking about Skyrim?!” We confirmed, and the guy immediately abandoned his girlfriend to join our table so he could tell us about how awesome his one-hander wielding Spellsword was working out.

It was a strange moment – despite not knowing the guy (or his poor girlfriend), we instantly had a shared experience from which to draw. Our digital adventures in Skyrim translated into a real-life connection, and thanks to that game, we all made a new friend. This type of gaming bleed is becoming increasingly common; it seems like everywhere you go, you run into another fan of games with something to say.

Gaming used to be derided as a hobby for nerds and loners. But huge MMOs are changing the way in which we hang out with distant family and friends, and big-budget titles are giving us a way to interact with strangers we never imagined possible. It’s an incredible experience to connect with a random person, and games are quickly becoming one of the most common ways to do so. How many of us have never thrown a subtle nod to someone wearing a Horde shirt, or a Cog hat?

As gaming continues to spread into the mainstream, these types of interactions will happen much more often. And, frankly, we’re all better off for it. Sometimes the most valuable experience gaming can bring us is something that happens in real life as a result of our shared passions. As gamers, our passions often get the best of us, but every now and then, they translate to something truly awesome.

Have you ever connected with a random person due to a love of gaming? Tell us your story in the comments!

Devil May Cry HD Collection gets a Launch Date

Posted Dec 20, 2011 at 5:01PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: dantes awakening, devil may cry, devil may cry 2, devil may cry 3

Dante comes crashing back to consoles in a remastered collection featuring his greatest adventures.

Love Devil May Cry? Well, do we ever have good news for you. The good folks over at Capcom have just confirmed that Devil May Cry: HD Collection is heading your way in April of 2012, and is jam-packed with all of the demon-slaying goodness you’ve come to love and expect in the franchise.

The collection will include improved versions of the original Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening. The games will support trophies and achievements, and will include what Capcom is calling “a wealth” of additional content. Details are sparse, but we can only assume that means costumes and other interesting add-ons.

Devil May Cry HD Collection will be available on both PS3 and Xbox 360 – a cool moment for Xbox owners that never had a chance to get in on the series. HD collections seem to be the way of the future, with more and more studios revisiting old classics and slightly improving them for a quick buck.

Of course, if the end result is getting to play a game you love, there’s probably nothing wrong with the move. As long as the games remain reasonably priced – Devil May Cry HD Collection will launch at $39.99. Not too shabby.

Would you buy a remastered version of Devil May Cry?

Wal-Mart Black Friday Sale is Good for Gamers

Posted Nov 11, 2011 at 1:37PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Black Friday, gears of war 3, kinect sports, mario and sonic

If you’re having trouble keeping up with the steady stream of fall releases, Black Friday may provide you with a nice opportunity for picking up anything you’ve missed.

Black Friday is a strange tradition, but it’s one that holds quite a bit of marketing sway here in the States. I’m not sure why exactly everyone decided that the day after Thanksgiving was the best shopping day of the year, or why retailers decided to turn it into a cataclysmic shopping event, but that’s just the world we live in now. Black Friday sales amount for a seriously large percentage of holiday revenue.

If waiting in line at stores early in the morning and trampling other people to get electronic goods is your speed, Wal-Mart has you covered with this year’s ridiculous video game Black Friday offers.

Here’s a basic rundown on what you’ll find at the big-box retailer on shopping’s most intense day:

$199 Xbox Bundle 1

4G Xbox 360

3 months of Live

Gears of War 3

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 Xbox Bundle 2

4G Xbox 360

Kinect

Kinect Adventures

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 PS3 Bundle

160GB PS3

Ratchet & Clank All 4 One

LittleBigPlanet 2

3 months of Sony Plus

$100 Wii Bundle

Blue Nintendo Wii

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

If consoles aren’t your bag, the software deals are pretty sharp as well: For $28, you can pick up Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Infamous 3. $15 snags you Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2, and Yakuza 4 is on sale for $10. There are a number of other specials going on, but those seem to be the most high profile.

Is it worth braving the crowds and chaos to grab a good deal on games?

Well, Modern Warfare 3 is out, Skyrim launches tomorrow and plenty of people have picked up Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3. But before you get too comfortable, it’s time to take note of even more games heading your way in this ridiculous 2011 holiday season. Next week we’ll visit a few old friends, including a sneaky assassin and plucky plumber. Also, you’ll get to hit people with a dildo.

Without further ado, here’s what’s on shelves this week:

Koei Tecmo

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Wii

ESRB Everyone

Sega

Rayman Origins

Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS

ESRB Everyone

Ubisoft

Did I see a PS2 game in there? I guess people still have those, but I didn’t think game developers were spending any time on the platform.

So what’s your poison this week? I’m not buying anything, since I’ll be buried in Skyrim. But, if I had to choose, I think I’d go with Assassin’s Creed.

Orcs Must Die DLC Dated November 8th

Posted Nov 5, 2011 at 4:35PM EST by Listed in: PS3, PC Gaming Tags: orcs must die!

The PC version of this quirky strategy game is getting an expansion, titled “Lost Adventures.”

Orcs Must Die! is the perfect story of what a small developer can do with a fun idea and the right game mechanics. The game, which takes the concept of tower defense and combines with with a third-person action game, has been a remarkable success in every market it enters, and critical praise has been as high as player enthusiasm.

If you’re a fan of Orcs Must Die! but haven’t had your fill of killing monsters, you’re in luck – the Lost Adventures DLC pack is on its way November 8th. Sadly, this update will only be available to PC players for the time being, so if you downloaded the game on Live Arcade or PSN you’re going to have to wait.

This is the second such DLC for Orcs Must Die! and includes five new fortresses, to new enemy types, the implementation of a leaderboard and a few other bonuses as well. The DLC will be priced at $2.99.

Have you played Orcs Must Die!? Are you excited to see the game getting steady content?

Superman Coming to iOS Devices

Posted Oct 17, 2011 at 5:57PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: captain america, dc, Superman, the dark knight

The Man of Steel is looking to make a comeback, with a new movie in the works and a classic return to form headed to the iPad and iPhone.

While the success of the Marvel movie franchise is hard to overlook, DC Comics has had a much more mixed experience at the box office. The Batman series is trucking along as a hallmark of superhero filmmaking, but the remainder of the DC properties just haven’t seemed to catch on with viewers.

DC is looking to change all of this with the upcoming Superman film, titled “Man of Steel.” Taking a page from the Dark Knight/Captain America playbook, the film will be gritty and rooted more in reality that previous Superman adventures. Superman will also be making a new appearance on you iOS device, though the game doesn’t seem to be based at all on the new film.

Superman: iPad (the name I’ve just given it) is being developed by Chillingo and Tiger Games, and looks as though it’s taking its cues directly from the Superman comics of old. Bright colors and familiar villains are on display here, with players suiting up in the familiar blue tights and using Superman’s many powers to protect the city of Metropolis.

You’ll earn medals for your performance in each level, generating a bit of replay value for perfectionists and Superman fans alike. Beyond that, the rest of the game is essentially a mystery. Superman titles in general have a legacy of failure, especially the much-maligned Superman 64. Here’s hoping Superman: iPad can escape those previous mistakes and create something memorable and fun.

Do you think this new Superman game is the Man of Steel’s chance to shine, or is it going to be a disaster?

Big Updates for Clone Wars Adventures

Posted Oct 15, 2011 at 5:49PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: BioWare, clone wars adventures, Sony Online Entertainment, star wars: the old republic

Sony Online Entertainment packs the small MMO with a bunch of new features including costumes, starting zones and mini-games. But is anyone playing?

Clone Wars Adventures is a strange game. It was released as part of the major media blitz for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and runs along the same freemium concepts as many of the small, popular MMOs you find around the web. With all the focus on Bioware’s The Old Republic, it’s easy to see why a small, browser-based MMO would go largely unnoticed except by its fanbase.

SOE seems to be trying to encourage players to stick around, and as of this last week has pushed a pretty big content pack directly to live servers. There’s a brand new min-game, new costumes for characters, new pets to collect and an all-new starting zone for new players.

Here’s what the game’s official site has to say about the starting zone:

“New Players will now start in the Ryloth Battle zone - an outdoor environment. There is a full scale battle taking place here with Republic troops and turrets versus Battle Droids. New players can run around and get up close with the participants in an ongoing battle. There's also a shuttle to port players to the Jedi Temple.”

If you’ve never played (or heard of) Clone Wars Adventures, now might be a good time to check it out. The game is free to play, for the most part, and with NYCC going on it’s going to be a fairly slow weekend for anyone that’s not attending the con.

Besides, everyone loves collecting pets, right?

Rare Devs Starting New Studio

Posted Oct 14, 2011 at 5:56PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: fusion: genesis, killer instinct, Microsoft, Rare, starfire studios

Four recently ousted Rare developers have joined forces to create Starfire Studios. And they’re promising to make a new Killer Instinct, right?! RIGHT?!

It would be a steep understatement to say that Rare was my favorite games developer in the late 90s. Donkey Kong Country was, and is to this day, one of my favorite games. I knew every Ultra Combo in Killer Instinct, and I even liked their generally maligned Starfox Adventures (deal with it). Of course, all good things must end, and Rare was snapped up by Microsoft in 2002.

Since then, it’s safe to say the quality of their games has gone somewhat downhill. They still continued to make good games, but unfortunately it just didn’t seem like the demand was there. As a result, Microsoft eventually had to lay off a significant portion of the studio. Now, four of those ex-developers are creating a brand new game company, called Starfire Studios.

Their only announced title at the moment is Fusion: Genesis, noted as a cross between a space shooter and an MMO. The game is headed directly to Xbox Live Arcade, and as a Rare devotee, I can assure you that I’ll be picking it up.

This seems to be an increasing trend in the world of video games – developers are leaving big name studios either of their own volition or as a result of some sort of company decision, and then starting a small-team studio to focus on downloadable titles or mobile games. The future of gaming will involve a lot more small studios, which in turn gives gamers tons more options. Sure, we’re painting this fall as the time of CoD, Skyrim and BF3, but there are going to be dozens of game releases during the same period of time.

Once Fusion: Genesis comes out, maybe Starfire can get to work on a spiritual successor to Killer Instinct. Maybe an open-world game set in the KI universe, starring Fulgore as a down-and-out robot?

What I’m saying is, someone please make another Killer Instinct game.

Posted Oct 5, 2011 at 2:14AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: BioWare, dragon age: redemption

A new trailer has come out for BioWare's Dragon Age: Redemption, featuring Felicia Day.

Redemption is a six-part series centering on the (mis)adventures of Tallis, an elven assassin. Out and about on his quest to hunt down Qunari, a renegade mage, Tallis must risk it all or else lose her own freedom.

Redemption transports the series back to Ferelden, the location same as the one in Dragon Age: Origins, while at the same time happening around the same era as that of Dragon Age: II.

Dragon Age: Redemption airs on October 11th, but in the meantime, do enjoy this a minute and a half trailer. Do stick around, too, because you'll find something about Dragon Age II's upcoming DLC, Mark of the Assassin.

Even with DLCs still up for grabs on Dragon Age II, BioWare is already guaranteeing that the next iteration in the franchise, Dragon Age III, will definitely "surprise and delight".

Team Fortress Arcade Out Now

Posted Sep 29, 2011 at 3:30PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: eric ruth, free games, team fortress arcade, tf2

The incredible and often hilarious two-dimensional adaptation of Valve’s “Team Fortress 2” is now out and available for free download.

This week is truly the week of the free game. First, “The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures” drops on the Nintendo eShop, then “Monster Trouble” goes free to play on iOs devices, and now we’re graced with yet another free way to waste our valuable time: “Team Fortress Arcade.”

“Team Fortress Arcade” is a simple reimagining of the super-popular and often incredibly frustrating “Team Fortress 2.” In the arcade version, however, instead of capping points, sapping sentries and (if you play like me) healing the other team’s spies, you play the role of hero in a two-dimensional, 8-bit side-scroller.

The game was developed by Eric Ruth, who Valve fans may recognize as the mastermind behind a similar remake of Left 4 Dead. You can play “Team Fortress Arcade” alone, or you can grab up to three friends to triple-tag team the game’s enemies and bosses. Players are able to choose any of the nine classes from the original “Team Fortress 2,” though I would wager you’re insane to plan anything but Heavy.

Every player serves the Blu team, fighting off minor red bad guys until facing off with a class-based villain. Each villain strives to capture the most annoying parts of his representative class, so be prepared to shout some obscenities while the Scout bounces all over the screen.

Check out “Team Fortress Arcade” and read an interview with Eric Ruth on Piki Geek.

Also, if you’ve never played “Team Fortress 2” (shame on you!) it’s also free to download and play via Steam. Silly hats, however, are not included. You can check that out right here: Team Fortress 2.

Uncharted 3 mini-TV drama coming from Sony Japan

Posted Sep 28, 2011 at 9:04AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: Naughty Dog, sony japan, uncharted 3

Never mind the movie, that one's still undergoing a lot of birthing pains. This one is for real, and it's happening as soon as next week.

Sony Japan is bringing Nathan Drake to the small screen, at least in Japan, and you can check him and his adventures out come October 4th (US time).

According to TV Tokyo, the Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception TV "drama" will be a seven-minuter, adapting the storyline for the upcoming PS3-exclusive title. As to how faithful this will be, we don't know exactly.

I am a little iffy about this "drama" version of Uncharted 3, so I'd personally just rather take it as a seven-minute long advertisement instead of an actual TV drama. Since it's showing only in Japan, we'll just have to wait until videos of it show up on YouTube, and then we can see for ourselves what this really is all about.

Uncharted 3 ships out to North America on November 1st, while Japan picks it up November 2nd. That gives you sufficient time to decide whether or not you'll be picking up the rad Collector's Edition. Uncharted 3 will also be playable at the PlayStation Access on September 29th, happening in Bristol, so if you're in the area, then be sure not to miss it, too!

Super Mario 3D Land confirmed to get Street Pass

Posted Sep 25, 2011 at 4:32AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Nintendo, super mario 3d land

The official display boxes for Super Mario 3D land is pointing out a pertinent information about the game.

Apparently, it will be making use of the StreetPass feature, as well as Super Guide features. The StreetPass feature basically lets players "passing" each other by to trade in-game items. It's still not particularly clear, though, which specific items can be traded among players. At least not for now.

Meanwhile, the Super Guide or the P-Winged Assist Blocks should work at guiding players with special items that can help them perform better.

We've still got time anyway since Super Mario 3D Land won't be releasing till November 3rd in Japan, and 13th for North America.

Nintendo also previously dished out more information on the game, specifically on the adventures awaiting us in each particular World.
