Some Indie for the Vita – Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack

Looking for something a little bit different for that Vita? How about some indie blob based antics?

You may have seen Tales from Space: About a Blob on the PlayStation Network last year, and this second release from DrinkBox Studios – Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack – is set to bring new features and gameplay modes to the series that will take advantage of the Vita’s new tech. Expect to control your all-consuming mutant blob with the front and rear touch screens and gyroscope, and devour your way through frat houses and cities alike in this puzzle platformer with more than 24 levels.

It’s perhaps no surprise that the developers have found the Vita an exciting prospect, the portable set up is certainly something that suits this style of game, and Ryan MacLean, CEO of DrinkBox Studios, has even mused that the Vita has allowed this game to surpass its console counterpart:

“We are all very excited about PlayStation®Vita and to be part of the launch. The system’s next generation features have allowed us to really think outside of the box while developing Mutant Blobs Attack – it feels as though the technology has in some areas exceeded that of its console counterpart. We’ve had a lot of fun creating the game and we’re working hard to get it out as soon as possible!”

DrinkBox are aiming to have the game ready to roll for the North American Vita launch date.

Leon must now try and survive yet another outbreak in North America, while on the other side of the world in China, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance Member, Chris Redfield lands in the midst of yet another bioterrorist attack.

The first Darksiders was a surprise hit, but since its announcement last year, news on the sequel has been sparse. Thankfully, THQ have now released a new “Behind the Mask” video which shows off not only a lot about the game’s protagonist, Death, but also some of the locations that will be visited over the course of the “more involved” storyline and some of the improvements to the overall gameplay.

The developers also promise smoother and more agile character movement in both platforming and combat, more characters, and a world that feels more alive than the abandoned, demon-infested Earth setting of the first game.

Check it all out in the video below.

Sonic is invading the world of PC gaming with three new digital downloads available from today. The first is a new DLC stage for Sonic Generations: Casino Night Pinball. The level sees modern and classic Sonic racing to defeat the Time Eater and save their friends, and will currently set gamers back $2.99 on Steam.

A host of other Sonic games are also enjoying a discount right now, including Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic 3D Blast. If you’ve always wanted to catch up with the gaming history of the blue one now is the time to get that download queue going!

While there probably would have been an announcement later tonight from Capcom, being that today is the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil and all, nothing says big news like it being leaked out early all over the internet. GameStop employees have received promo material and it seems a few of those stores have already placed it out in view of the public and caught by IGN.

As such the news has now been leaked that Resident Evil 6 is to be released on November 20th. Also, rumors are circulating that Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield will be playable characters when the game is released. Expect more details tonight when the official announcement is meant to take place. Check the full promo material below.

Deadlight teaser revealed

Yesterday Tequila Works revealed a project which seems to have been in development for quite some time, Deadlight. Currently not much is known about the title other than the fact that it will be a puzzle platformer and is meant to be released sometime this Summer.

Today Tequila Works revealed a teaser trailer for Deadlight, which shows a very dour looking man who describes that whenever you kill a person, everything changes. This is all while he is standing over a highway with what appears to be zombies moving around. Considering the story so far is that Randall Wayne is one of the last survivors of a pandemic that wiped out nearly everyone else, this could be a new twist on the zombie genre.

3D Classics Kid Icarus to be a pre-order bonus for Kid Icarus: Uprising

Kid Icarus: Uprising is quite the hotly anticipated title here in North America. As such it only makes sense that Nintendo of America give fans some sort of pre-order incentive right? Well today they have announced that those who pre-order the game will guarantee them a downloadable code when they pickup the title.

Unfortunately, although the announcement stated that the pre-order bonus would be available from select retailers, they did not say which ones specifically. Its a bit disappointing however that Nintendo of America has had to resort to letting fans receive the title free from pre-order, while other regions received the 3D classic Kid Icarus free with a couple of qualifying 3DS games.

Bioshock Infinite’s 1999 Mode announced and detailed

Some people say that video games today are too easy, that FPS are too forgiving on the average gamer. Well if you happen to be one of those people then you will be happy to hear that Irrational Games is putting a gameplay mode into Bioshock Infinite just for you. The developer announced today that they will be including a “1999 Mode” in the final product.

1999 Mode will feature various difficulty tweaks that won’t be found in the main game mode, and also all of your choices will have a more permanent effect on the game so if you ended up making a choice that resulted in a harder game later on, you need to deal with that. Player health has been modified, difficulty gets an increase and any weapon you pick up or own will be “useless” unless you already have a specialization for that weapon.

Seems like this mode is only for the most die-hard FPS fan but it is good to see that those who want a difficult challenge will indeed be receiving it. Currently there has been no word as to whether or not 1999 Mode will be available at the start of the game or will be unlocked upon completion.

Nothing says brutal by actually being able to input a kill command with a few swipes of your finger. Now earlier this week Warner Bros. revealed that they would be bringing last year’s Mortal Kombat game to the PlayStation Vita sometime this spring. This includes all of the extra content that was included in the PlayStation 3 version of the game, but at the time the company did not elaborate on what new features, if any, were to be added.

Today NetherRealm Studios Creative Director, Ed Boon, has explained that the Vita version of Mortal Kombat will have an exclusive second Challenge Tower with 150 extra challenges, some of which will use the Vita’s touch screen and accelerometer. Touch controls have also been implemented into the combat in a small way, with players able to perform Fatalaties and X-Ray attacks with just a touch or few swipes of the screen.
