New Lost Planet 2 Symphony of the battlefield

TWHR — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:59:23 +0000

The new Lost Planet 2 trailer shows off some of key features players will enjoy on the games release. Massive scale, epic confrontations and almost limitless character customization. Not to mention the 4 player co op that few games employ even now, years after Halo and Left 4 Dead have shown its successes.

I’m excited to see how this game will review because if you read down through the above features without even knowing what you reading about, its hard not to be impressed.

Take a look at the new trailer, try not to be a little intrigued ( although why the hell do Maker Worms from Dune turn up in so many games…)

Super Street Fighter 4: New Fighters trailer

TWHR — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:37:19 +0000

Capcom have a released an official trailer for the new fighters that will feature in Super Street Fighter 4, bringing the total number of new fighters to 9. Still, is the inclusion of Deejay enough to make someone buy the same game twice? Who knows.

Now go watch some of the guys and gals in action below.

WTF? SFIV on iPhone?

TWHR — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:45:58 +0000

Yes it looks like Capcom’s super hit SFIV is on its way to everyone’s favorite triquarter wannabe the iPhone.

IGN has the scoop on the game that will land on the app store sometime in March; from what they are reporting, this isn’t a rushed out port. Several variations on the control system will be included in the app, a full roster of fighters and the ability to battle over blu tooth!

Nice but we haven’t gotten a price point yet so don’t get too excited.

Dead Rising 2 trailer has the best use of antlers ever!

TWHR — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:07:34 +0000

I wish more game trailers took queues from Dead Rising 2, no bullshit straight up in game footage and gore, most importantly, make sure you include head butting zombies to death.

Enjoy

Lost Planet 2 Co Op vids from CES

TWHR — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:57:53 +0000

Lost Planet 2 could well be the game everyone has a copy of this year, tucked away in their back shelf for when a few mates want to spend an afternoon kicking the snot out of a garden spider the size of the Eiffel tower.

Its got all the elements you could want from an action game (unless you want realism) online Co Op gameplay, huge battles, massive boss fights not to mention the return of the first games Mech suits that transform into cars.

Keep an eye on this one.

Pac Man Championship Edition

Kevin — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:03:40 +0000

Everyone knows Pac Man’s wacka-wacka sounds and familiar pill-chewing gameplay. So when Namco announced a new version of the game for the iPhone and Xbox 360 arcade, no one really batted an eyelid.

Maybe it’s time to re-adjust your thoughts.

While this game is the same gameplay style as you’ll remember, it throws a pile of new challenges at the player as you go along. Like challenging you to eat a certain number of ghosts in a round, or just beat a particular score, etc.

All of this makes the game a bit more exciting to play, and suits it well to the iPhone as each level is quite short and easy to run through.

Controls are handled through a classic-style stick at the bottom of the screen (held in landscape mode) which can be clunky at the best of times, and while learning the game will cause unnecessary deaths. However, it’s a better mechanic then the other option to have tilt-style controls on the iPhone, thank god.

For Christmas it’s worth buying on the iPhone as it has a sale price of 79c, and it looks fantastic so will keep you entertained for a while.

Mega Man 10

Kevin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:58:37 +0000

Mega Man has been a classic side-scrolling shooter for a long time. And by that I mean that it’s always looked the same way. No fancy 3D graphic engines and score recorded by the Prague Philamonic Orchestra. Oh no, CAPCOM have kept the venerable superhero in blue the same since it first appeared on home consoles.

And with that, CAPCOM have announced Mega Man 10, with a trailer and all!

Hadoken Shoryuken love Song,because it had to happen sometime

TWHR — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:49:04 +0000

”Balrogs a black dude, hes the only one I never use” – that’s Dylan shit right there.

I have no idea who this guy is but hes a boring guitarist and amazing lyricist, singing about his addiction to video games in particular the sublime Street Fighter 4. So lighten up this shitty Tuesday morning by throwing you arms in the air with your lighter (unless you’re in an office that is) and sing along, Haadooo oo oooken, Shoryuu uuuu u u ken.

Take a look

Bayonetta trailer

TWHR — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:38:31 +0000

The guy who created Devil May Cry has a new game coming out soon. If you are a 16 year old male or female Japenese teenager you may have even heard of it? Its called Bayonetta and its a story about one woman and her hair. Sounds great right?

You run around killing people with guns and your super hair, with all the super powers it seems Bayonetta still hasn’t got the power of 20:20 vision hence the glasses. I think they thought they could make her look more like a porn star if they put specs on her…as there is no other real reason why she would need them I can only assume the sexy factor was the fuel behind that complex design decision.

As pretty as the hairy witch is, she some how doesn’t look quiet as effeminate as Dante did so as you can imagine its going to confuse an awful lot of its target audience.

Ugh just look at the trailer please.
