DeadGrind Gameplay Trailer Released

DeadGrind, an upcoming Android Shooter by BulletLike, has just had a new gameplay trailer released for it. In it we see the protagonist blasting his way through a series of undead hordes, with his trusty M16 as he makes his way to what looks like a giant demons head.

This game looks set to be a grind just to play, as through the 50 seconds of gameplay footage the only changes I noticed were in the background and the introduction of two new enemy types, which brought it up to a grand total of three. However, I can confirm that there will at least be one other weapon in the game, that being an AK-47 (originality is hard ok?). The game is currently free though, so it may be worth downloading just for a short time distraction, or kid distraction… we all do it.

BulletLike’s other apps include Burn the City, Foxy’s Ride and No Demons Allowed, which have all fared quite well on the Android Marketplace.

Feel free to check the gameplay footage out below the break and make you own conclusion.

Agricultural Simulator 2013 Announced!

With baited breath we have all waited for this news, and so it has finally arrived. The most realistic farming simulation game, Agricultural Simulator 2012, has now been announced to have a sequel, and one that has even more realism!

Boasting a flurry of new features including:

  • Dynamic terrain including realistic furrows!
  • ‘Sales Hotspots’- to make trading easier.
  • ‘Helper-system’- enables you to hire farmhands, though no indication yet whether you will be able to hire illegal immigrants or aliens. (Pre-order bonus maybe?)
  • Over 100 tractors and other farm yard machinery for you to control.
  • Choose between creating your farm in the heart of the US mid-west, the ‘enchanting’ Tuscan country, or even among the ‘dramatic vistas’ of the alps.

Agricultural Simulator 2013 will be released first via digital distribution during November before eventually making its way slowly (slowly… tractors… get it?) into shops on December 7th.

If this article has whetted your farming taste buds then be sure to check out the video below the break, and even if it hasn’t still check out the video just for the soundtrack.

Prepare for chills this Winter as Corpse Party: Book of Shadows heads West

Some of you may remember a very creepy game that was released last year by XSEED Games called Corpse Party. Well, if you don’t then you will be happy to know that the former game will actually be on sale for only $9.99 until November 6. It would certainly be good to purchase it, as it will take plenty of courage to jump into XSEED’s newly announced game without playing that first.

Today XSEED announced that they are planning to release Corpse Party: Book of Shadows sometime this Winter as a digital download on the PSP. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows contains eight chapters, each with its own unique story. Some of these stories are connected to the previous game which will expand on off-camera sequences, while others will focus on “What if?” scenarios while the final chapter revolves around the survivors of the first Corpse Party.

Currently no price has been announced for the game, but you can check out some scary screenshots and a trailer for the game below.

Borderlands Legends leaked, coming to iOS this month

It looks like a Borderlands app is in the works and according to the advert discovered by a Gearbox Forum user, the app will be released sometime this month for iOS devices. The advert was found in the Borderlands 2 digital strategy guide and as you can see above, it describes a game called Borderlands Legends.

Currently there is no set release date or price for the game, though apparently players will be able to play as the four original characters from Borderlands 1, use character specific powers and level up as they use a slew of different weapons to kill waves of enemies using a “strategic cover system” and more.

PlayStation Store revamp now live throughout Europe

While the PlayStation Store revamp has had a number of issues, with the launch of the new look delayed indefinitely in most regions and taken down in others, apparently the European version of the store has just went live and may be actually staying up this time around.

PlayStation Europe has tweeted that the new PlayStation Store is now live across all EU territories so this means that anyone in those regions can now complain about having to deal with an unwieldy change that no one seemed to have wanted in the first place. Anyone in Europe believe that this new store is better than the last?

Ubisoft and New Regency Partner For Assassins Creed Film

Fresh off of the back of Micheal Fassbender being attached to the project, so New Regency and Ubisoft have announced today that they will be partnering together for the upcoming Assassins Creed movie. The development of the screenplay is set to begin immediately with both studios trying to fast track its development, so far no clear details have been given as to what we can expect from the movie, but with the addition of Michael Fassbender (Prometheus and X-men: First Class)  as well as New Regency (Fight Club, JFK and Mr and Mrs Smith) it looks set to be on to watch.

Here is what Ubisoft Motion Pictures, CEO, Jean-Julien Baronnet had to say on the partnership

“Ubisoft chose to partner with New Regency because they are a talent- and filmmaker-driven company, with the same independent and creative mindset that we have at Ubisoft Motion Pictures. Bringing aboard New Regency’s renowned production and distribution expertise while maintaining our own creative and financial flexibility ensures that Assassin’s Creed will be a high-quality film that respects the lore and fans of the video game franchise.”

Ubisoft Motion Pictures was created in January 2011 to expand the audience of Ubisoft’s already successful IP, through a variety of mediums beyond video games such as TV and film. Aside from the upcoming Assassins Creed film they are also working on two movies based in the Tom Clancy universe, one being a Splinter Cell movie, and the other being based on Ghost Recon.

Be sure to check back in the future as more names are attached to this project.

 

PAX OZ Starting In 2013

The Penny Arcade Expo otherwise known as PAX is now one step further in its goal for total world domination after the announcement of a new event in Australia. This is the third PAX event to be launched after PAX East and the following PAX Prime. PAX Australia will be held in Melbourne for 2013 and 2014, with the potential for it to potentially change location after this period (Sydney anyone?).

Penny Arcade President Robert Khoo said the demands of the global community dictated the expansion to Australia. “When we reached out to our international fans, the response from the Australian community for a local PAX was overwhelming,” Mr Khoo said.

“Melbourne has a long history of supporting the games scene, through showcasing cultural game exhibits to supporting world renowned game developers. Holding PAX Australia in Melbourne is the perfect fit for our show.”

PAX Australia will be held from the 19-21 July at the Melbourne Showgrounds, for more details check out the official PAX Australia site. PAX Australia will coincide with San Diego Comic Con, so this should stop hordes of Americans from flying over in search of nerdom.
