– Contrary to popular belief; Looking INTO an explosion is much cooler! –

Deep Silver has just released the latest Saints Row IV DLC pack and, much like a lot of the other packs, it’s full of explosions, it’s full of destruction and it’s full of carnage! The “Element Of Destruction” DLC Pack is one that focuses highly on making things that shouldn’t explode…explode. Powers like the “Explosive Chain Blast” allow for a domino effect of explosions to occur once the power is used, the “Explosive Buff” turns everyone around you into a living stick of dynamite, the “Telekinetic Time Bomb” not only lets you use psychic powers to lift and throw people but it also turns them into…well, a time bomb and the “Airstrike Stomp” sends enemies flying into the air while the earth below gets peppered with missile strikes, what more could you honestly ask for?

ASYMMETRICAL CO-OPERATIVE ‘90’s ESPIONAGE ADVENTURE “CLANDESTINE” ANNOUNCED FOR PC

ASYMMETRICAL CO-OPERATIVE ‘90’s ESPIONAGE ADVENTURE “CLANDESTINE” ANNOUNCED FOR PC 

Utilize Field Agent and Hacker Capabilities to Gather Intelligence and Solve the Post-Cold War Spy Conspiracy 

Copenhagen, Denmark – November 27, 2013 — Danish independent studio Logic Artists emerged from the shadows today to reveal “Clandestine”, a globetrotting spy thriller set in the mid-1990’s. From the creators of popular turn based strategy game Expeditions: Conquistador, Clandestine offers stealth and spy game enthusiasts asymmetrical cooperative play mechanics within a deep dark story-driven spy fantasy that will debut on PC in 2014.

“After our success with our debut release Expeditions: Conquistador, we wanted to create a new kind of play experience based on our love for tactical stealth games”, said Ali Emek, Producer from Logic Artists. “With the addition of asymmetrical co-op gameplay between the field agent and hacker, Clandestine gives a unique spin to this genre. Set during the ‘90s, we have worked hard to recreate the feel and atmosphere of the decade in the game, and we are excited to see how players react to this iconic time in technological development”.

The year is 1996, five years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a string of accidents and murders have gone unnoticed by the public, but have put the world of espionage on high alert. Former Cold War operatives, believing their cover intact, are being assassinated around the globe. Soviet and NATO spies are being targeted indiscriminately, causing turmoil and suspicion on all sides.

Featuring asymmetrical cooperative gameplay (hacker and field agent team), Clandestine transports players to locations around the globe from the underground tunnels of Vienna to secret NSA bunkers in Washington, where they must use tactics and stealth to infiltrate corporate headquarters, hideouts and safe houses to determine who is behind the string of murders and lift the curtain of conspiracy.

TECMO KOEI EUROPE ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE AND PRE-ORDER BONUSES FOR TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS

TECMO KOEI EUROPE ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE AND PRE-ORDER BONUSES FOR TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS

 

Hertfordshire, 27/12/2013– Tecmo Koei Europe is pleased to announce today that the upcoming title ‘Toukiden: The Age of Demons’, developed for the PlayStation®Vita handheld system will be released across Europe on the 14th February 2014.

Following a ground breaking success in Japan, with sales exceeding 420,000 units (a feat all the more impressive for an original IP) Toukiden: The Age of Demons is bringing the fight for survival to the west.

Set against a backdrop inspired by various historical periods of Japan, Toukiden tells the tale of humanity’s last stand for survival. When monstrous demons (Oni) of varying strength and size invaded the world through cracks in space and time and started attacking humans, the only opposition came from the Slayers; a caste that has always secretly protected mankind from their murderous intent.

Eight years after time warped and Oni appeared, a brave young Slayer embarks on a journey to thin the numbers of the enemy and help humanity survive. Players take the role of this young warrior and can fully customise their characters, weapons and armour and form a group of hunters to take down the destructive Oni.

This visually stunning game boasts an extensive character creation mode, and six different weapon types, each of which can be forged and upgraded to the player’s preferences, while it also features 200 characters based on both fictional and historical Japanese figures, whose souls help players strengthen their team and defeat their enemies.

To aid Slayers in the beginning of their journey Tecmo Koei Europe announced a series of in game pre-order bonuses. Specifically, those who pre-order Toukiden through the Playstation Network® will receive the Mitama of Momotaro, a warrior’s soul that will strengthen the player’s skill, along with a piece of armour (cat ears). Furthermore, there will be two additional pre-order DLC packs, one including the Mitama of Niijima Yae and a piece of armour (fox mask) and one including two extra mission collections. These will be available through Game, Amazon and independent retailers through Centresoft.

New Moblie Game Oddlight Announced

Oddlight-01

Octopus 8 Studios a indie games developer and today they announced their first mobile title Oddlight. It is a unique and quirky game which is due for release on Apple iOS devices by the 21st of December 2013 with Android and Windows phone versions following suit in early 2014. They also aim to bring Oddlight to Steam Greenlight in the near future.

Speaking about the game today, Justin Parsler, the Chief Creative Officer had this to say:

Oddlight is one of those ideas that is obvious once you have thought of it. It is a touch screen game in which the player has to keep their finger on the screen while a variety of bugs and other greeblies try to eat them.

The game’s aim is to avoid the vicious Nids, little evil spiders who are out to chomp you. Endowed with powers by the mysterious Oddlings, you can squish your enemies and set the sunlight free from their hungry mouths.

Oddlight is a simple and spellbinding adventure with a simple point-drag system which should be fun for all ages.
