Cloning Clyde for Steam – Priced and Dated

Many of you have probably Played Cloning Clyde on the Xbox 360, it has been on sale multiple times and is quite an addicting platformer. It is now on XBLA’s “Arcade Hits” collection and you should definitely check it out if you haven’t already.

However, if you aren’t an Xbox 360 player and are more of a PC player, fret not! Cloning Clyde is making its PC debut Tuesday, March 15, on Steam. The game will be available for purchase for 4.99 USD (£3.99 / €4.99).

According to the developers the steam version will include many extras; “We set out to make Cloning Clyde a perfect fit on Steam,” said John Nielson, founder of Bacon Wrapped Games. “So we updated the game by adding new features like Steam Achievements and Stats. We reworked game’s achievement set, adding 13 new achievements to the existing 12, making a total of 25 achievements that Steam users can unlock in-game.” Hopefully the 13 new achievements will present extended replay value and tons of new challenges.

Are you able to save all of Clyde’s Clones who seem to have now spread to the PC as well? Find out when the game releases on March 15th for the low price of $4.99 (USD)

Hunters: Episode One New Release for iOS

Over the past 6 months, new comers to the world of iOS development, Rodeo Games Ltd., have been working on their debut game, Hunters: Episode One. Hunters: Episode one is a science-fiction, turn base strategy game, that has you take the role of captain over an elite team of bounty hunters. With new content available on a daily basis, the team of hunters are given new contracts, which need to be completed in order to progress through the levels and gain experience – a bonus of which is the unlocking of new weapons, equipments and talents!

If you like the look of this game, then the good news is that the team at Rodeo Games are going to continue to develop story based missions and additional features to build on existing game play. Having yet to play the game myself, I am still impressed with the graphics and attention to detail in creating a dystopian science-fiction world – all delivered on a mobile device. Hunters: Episode One is currently out now for the iPhone and iPad, and we can only hope will be followed by episodes two, three and more.

Shadows of the Damned to feature girlfriend from hell, literally

Shadows of the Damned may not be coming out until June 7th but that doesn’t stop EA and GrassHooper Manufacture from releasing a new trailer that was shown at the Game Developer’s Conference last week. The trailer itself shows main character Garcia’s girlfriend, or should I say what is left of her after being taken by the demons and it looks like the demons will take great pleasure in torturing Garcia by using her image as disguises.

Shadows of the Damned will be published under the EA Partneres label much like Crysis 2 will be later this month. But the developers themselves have quite a few games under their belt such as Goichi Suda of Suda51 and Resident Evil’s creator Shinji Mikami. Even the sound is being handled by Akira Yamaoka who handled the sound of another signature horror series, Silent Hill. When this game arrives on the Xbox 360 and Ps3 this summer it will have quite a large following simply because of the developers themselves.

Uncharted 3’s villainess revealed as Katherine Marlowe

Every game needs a suitable villain, whether it be human, alien, or nature itself but Uncharted 3 is going to have a Helen Mirren lookalike as their villainess. In the latest trailer, which is more like a clip from a cutscene, we are introuced to Katherine Marlowe the head of a 400 year old secret society who has history with Nathan and his partner.

Exactly what she wants has not been made clear but it is strikingly obvious that she has her eyes on the ring Nathan wears around his neck. Also she carries a hidden blade in her umbrella which I can’t help but associate with the Penguin from Batman. Catch the clip below which is the full trailer despite the abrupt end.

Beyond Good & Evil soundtrack available free

Beyond Good & Evil just saw the release of its HD remake last week much to the joy of fans of Jade and the game in general. Ubisoft has decided to continue bringing joy to the masses by providing the entire soundtrack for Beyond Good & Evil entirely free which you can download here. The download is 168 MB so be ready for a small download time depending on what internet you are using but with that you will be getting all 31 songs from the game’s amazing soundtrack.

Now most of these songs are primarily orchestral but there are a few in there that do have actual artists singing such as the Propaganda song and In Hot Pursuit. Now Beyond Good & Evil HD is available on the XBLM for 800 MSP and is certainly worth a look if you haven’t played the original game.

Jill and Shuma Gorath show off their moves in Marvel vs Capcom 3 trailers

Capcom released a couple of videos today to help boost interest in their upcoming character DLC containing Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentine. Many fans of the series were disappointed to find out that Jill would not be returning in the main roster for Marvel vs Capcom 3 but that will soon be rectified as long as they are willing to pay $5 or 400 MSP for each character individually.

These videos show off both Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentines special combo attacks as well as their finishing moves which was the standard for character reveals leading up to the release of MvC3. Anyone who purchased the collector’s edition of MvC3 however will not have to pay $5 for each character as the C.E. came with a download voucher for the characters which can be redeemed when they are released on March 15th.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution dated for August 26th

Deus Ex: Human Revolution originally had a release date for sometime this spring but unfortunately the game was pushed back. The reason for the delay was unspoken and there was no new release date given which left fans of the series sitting in the dark and hoping that the game would still arrive this year. Thankfully it seems that Square Enix will be able to get the human revolution on track for a August 23rd release date in the US and August 26th elsewhere.

There will be two versions of the game released for retail purchase. The standard edition will cost $60 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 while the PC version will cost $50 which is more or less the standard but what isn’t standard is the Augmented Edition which runs for $10 more on each version. The Augmented Edition comes with an art book, bonus dvd, a graphic novel and various in-game bonuses. It seems that the delay for Deus Ex will most likely help boost sales and if they take the extra half a year to polish the game it will certainly show in the final product.
