Some more details have been distributed by Capcom about their upcoming prologue to Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.  In Case Zero you’ll play as Chuck Greene, a determined father and widowed husband.  Set two years after Dead Rising 1 and three years before Dead Rising 2, in a small desert town called Still Creek.  The major objective of the game will be to find a life prolonging drug, Zombrex, to keep his bitten daughter from zombifying.

Character attributes, prestige points, and combo cards(they show you how to combine weapons) earned in Case Zero will carry over to Dead Rising 2.  Also, you’ll be able to see things in CZ that will appear in DR2 like that epic chainsaw/paddle dual saber.  Darth Maul is awesome… I’m getting off topic… Anyway, this exclusive piece of DLC content will release sometime before September 28th.  The price is still a mystery.

Zombie Studios Confirms Blacklight: Tango Down 2

Blacklight: Tango Down provided quite an impression following it’s release.  According to Majornelson.com, Blacklight topped the arcade sales last week without breaking a sweat.  With the PC version releasing today and Playstation Network’s release uncertain, Zombie announces that a sequel is already in the works.  They are aiming for a Summer 2011 release, but it’s all pretty unknown at the moment.  All of this comes from the mouth of Zombie’s CEO, Mark Long, who also stated that they will focus more on fixing bugs than releasing DLC for Tango Down 1.

Do you think they’re shooting for a spot in next years Summer of Arcade lineup?   But ignoring my inquisition, Long says the sequel will feature larger maps and controllable mech-like vehicles.  Sounds awesome, hopefully they won’t take away the beautiful $15 price tag.  What are your thoughts on Blacklight: Tango Down?  Comment below and talk about it.

Monkey Island 2 and Blacklight: Tango Down – Out Today!

As originally scheduled, Monkey Island 2 and Blackight: Tango Down have released today.  For a short minute, Zombie Studios’ Blacklight: Tango Down had a very questionable fate.   Last week, Ignition Entertainment had denied allegations made by Microsoft about the July 7th release.  “There’s still no confirmed release date for Blacklight. We saw all the posts saying it’s the 7th … but we really don’t know if that will be the date. We should know later this week when the official launch will be. Officially, we are saying ‘summer’ until further notice,” Ignition stated.

It looked as if LeChuck would be the only person having fun this Wednesday, but with a quick and painless announcement yesterday, Ignition confirmed Blacklight will release today.  The children smiled, the rain stopped, and for a brief sadistic moment every nation chuckled.  Why are you still reading this?  Go get Blacklight and t-bag somebody!

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge Special Edition – 800 MS Points ($10)

Blacklight: Tango Down – 1200 MS Points ($15)

Puzzle Quest 2 Review (XBLA)

Puzzle Quest 2 was developed by Infinite Interactive and published by D3 Publisher for XBLA on 6/30/2010. Retails for 1200 Microsoft Points. A download code for the game was given to us by the publisher for reviewing purposes.

Let’s start this review by asking ourselves, is there still a profitable market for puzzle games? During a time when 3D graphics are the new craze, awe-inspiring virtual physics are praised, and motion-controlled gimmicks try to make things a little bit more noobish, will there be any room left for the puzzle enthusiasts? Infinite Interactive has the answer to that. In 2007, they released Puzzle Quest, which became an instant hit amongst critics and gamers. PQ respectively took home a couple of awards, Gametrailers “Best Puzzle/Parlor Game” and Gamespy’s “Best Xbox Live Arcade Game.” So, with those accomplishments in mind, what could they possibly do to follow-up the success that Puzzle Quest had? Make another one.
