dnd Mystara

It’s been a busy week, what with E3 and several of the staff attending. As such, let’s play catch up on a few releases. Thunder Wolves, an action-arcadey chopper game in the vein of the classic Strike games released on June 8 for 800 MSP. The gameplay is quite decent, but while it tries to pull off a Blood Dragon style spoof of 80′s action it falls a little short. If you’re looking for a fun, arcade action game definitely check out the trial.

Fireburst and Storm both released last Wednesday for 800 MSP each. Fireburst is your typical offroad racer with an interesting boost gameplay mechanic. Fans of the FlatOut games should definitely take a look. Storm is a really slick puzzle game that puts players in control of the elements. It’s really difficult to describe, but if that sounds interesting you can view a gameplay trailer after the jump.

Classic DnD gamers will have something to cheer for tomorrow when Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara hits virtual shelves at 1200 MSP. It includes two classic Dungeons and Dragons games: Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara. Both are beat em’ ups with elements of role playing. For the uninitiated, think Streets of Rage with some Castle Crashers.

Electronic Arts today announced a new title in its Plants vs. Zombies franchise to be released on the Xbox One. Revealed during the publisher’s E3 media briefing, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will also see an Xbox 360 release at some point following the Xbox One version’s release. A press release issued by EA following the publisher’s media briefing confirmed a spring 2014 release date for Garden Warfare. The game is being developed by PopCap Games using the Frostbite 3 engine.

EA played the game live during the media briefing, showcasing plants fighting off hordes of zombies in a multiplayer setting. The gameplay was more akin to Gears of Wars’ horde mode than to traditional tower-defense Plants vs. Zombies gameplay. Units shown included a cactus sniper and a flying onion that appeared to be the PopCap’s plant take on a military drone.

According to the press release, Garden Warfare will feature 4-player co-op as well as 24-player competitive multiplayer.

Tragnarion Studio’s futuristic third-person shooter, Scourge: Outbreak, will be releasing on Xbox Live Arcade on July 3rd for 800MSP. Scourge: Outbreak was originally released as The Scourge Project: Episode 1 & 2 for PC back in 2010, but is making its way to XBLA with a number of new enhancements based on community feedback. You’ll experience new and re-vamped gameplay, a stronger story narrative, smarter AI, more gratifying gunplay, powerful new XP Perks, and much more. It also boasts a four-player co-op and many competitive multiplayer modes.

Update: It seems this trailer is eerily similar (identical) to the one released last July. Maybe it was just their way of reminding us that the game was still coming!

Magrunner – it’s like Portal with demons

By

– Posted on May 24, 2013Posted in: Media, Videos

Focus Home Interactive and 3AM Games’ Magrunner is an interesting one. It’s premise is a little bit Portal, a touch of Half-Life 2, with a heavy dose of Cthulu Mythos dumped into the mix. The game begins in a testing facility, not unlike the one Portal protagonist Chell found herself in. But here the facility is entered by volunteers, who handle a magnetic glove-like weapon of sorts that behaves like part portal gun, part Half-Life 2 gravity gun. As the testing progresses the test subjects find that the facility is changing around them–changing into something sinister. A parallel universe begins to collide with their own, the universe of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu Mythos.

Guardians of Middle-earth gets Elrond, Mouth of Sauron DLC characters

Fans of Monolith Studios’ Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle-earth have a vast array of characters to choose from. In addition to the characters included with the game a whopping 14 DLC characters have been released. The latest of these additions are the Elf lord Elrond of Rivendell, and the villainous Mouth of Sauron — once a member of the race of men, now corrupted both morally and physically from years of service to the dark lord.

Both characters are now available for 160 MSP each, and are not included as part of the season pass. Of the 14 released characters, only the first eight are part of that pass. Should you be new to Guardians, the season pass nets you those first eight characters plus a new survival mode for 1200 MSP. Purchasing these nine items separately is 1600 MSP, so you’re saving 25% if you want it all. The Mouth of Sauron character trailer can be viewed above. Hit the jump for Elrond’s.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon sequel possible

By

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the 80′s inspired spin-off to the Far Cry franchise, took us all by surprise when it released earlier this month. The game that began as an April Fool’s joke is already a critical and commercial success. In an interview with Major Nelson, Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt’s voice actor Michael Biehn stated creative director Dean Evans is already in discussions for a sequel.

“Dean called me last night, he was pretty jacked up… He was going into a meeting today to, you know, I think he wants to turn it into some sort of franchise. He’s got a sequel in mind.”

Biehn continues to say that Evans’ vision of the franchise goes beyond another game:

“He has so many ideas coming out of his head that he can hardly contain them… He can be talking about the video game, the sequel, the sequel to that, and immediately move into movies — and start talking about movies he wants to do and different timelines on the movie he wants to do.”

Ubisoft was unable to comment on the possibility of a Blood Dragon sequel, so we’re left to wonder where the franchise will go. Youtube user MikeDiva is already ahead of the game, having created his vision of a Blood Dragon movie in the fake trailer above. He highlighted the best aspects of the game and re-imagined them as an 80′s action sci-fi that you have to see to believe. Warning: contains large amounts of awesome.
