Illfonic released six new screenshots for Nexuiz, the fast paced first-person shooter with competitive game play built specifically for the PSN and XBLA.
From the Press Release:
Powered by CryENGINE®3, Nexuiz is a fast paced Arena first-person shooter with competitive game play built specifically for consoles. Featuring the innovative mutator system, players progress through the ranks opening up new mutators that allow players to alter the rules for each match. On launch, Nexuiz will feature multiplayer modes including Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flagcomplete with full competitive leader boards designed for social networking. New games modes, models, and maps will be available as downloadable content post launch.
Nexuiz is set in a galactic war fueled for centuries by the Kavussari and Forsellians. Over time the two races entered into treaties with the Herald Accord, a union between different cultures in the galaxy. Even though peace settled across their planets, the seething hatred between the races kept the fire of war simmering under the fragile truce. Sensing their newest members could spread war throughout the galaxy; the Herald Accord gave the Kavussari and Forsellians a choice. Pit their warriors against each other in the arena rather than on the fields of war, or face total annihilation. The Nexuiz was formed, a series of battle arenas on the home planets of the Kavussari, Forsellian and the desolate planet of Atavirta.

Developer City Interactive have now announced a brand new title that will be releasing soon on the Nintendo DS. Vampire Moon is a new hidden object mystery game that will let players control news reporter Emily Davis as she tries to find out why and inexplicable, ongoing solar eclipse
is plaguing Transylvania. As researchers and other civilians begin to disappear, you must uncover hundreds of skillfully hidden objects and decipher the clues behind the eclipse.

Beautiful, atmospheric locations that heighten the sense of mystery
Endless replay value thanks to a system of random item placement

Hello street fighter fans. MasterAbbott has been talking about Street Fighter 4 for the Iphone for a while here in the office. I have to admit, for an Iphone game it looks very good.
There is a free update coming that will be adding new characters to the game. The most recent announcement states that E. Honda will be coming. I honestly don’t know if this is good news or not, I never use him. MasterAbbott on the other hand has been drooling over the fact for the last few hours, even though I think it is just because of the two half naked men in the video below.
Duke Nukem Forever, right? It’s been on such a rough journey for the past 12 years – being a game, not being a game, then returning with force in 2010. Showing up unexpectedly at the Penny Arcade Expo, Gearbox allowed people to actually play Duke Nukem Forever, showing off a trailer and two levels.
Before people actually got to play the game, they were sat in a room where Randy Pitchford, President at Gearbox, explained why Duke Nukem Forever still exists and why they’re taking on such a project. Pitchford told the group that he owes Duke his career, joining 3D Realms for the development of Duke Nukem 3D. Pitchford said he couldn’t let Duke die, so being able to pick up Forever was an obvious choice for him. According to Pitchford, Duke Nukem Forever is currently in the polishing stages and is set for a 2011 release.
The demo doesn’t waste any time getting to the gritty humor that Duke Nukem is known for. You’re given a quick controls tutorial which involves peeing into a urinal. Pressing the right trigger starts the flow of urine, the right stick is used to aim, and whenever you feel you’ve made Duke pee enough, the X button finishes things up. So there you have it, an interactive urinating sequence in Duke Nukem Forever. Leaving the urinal, more interactive items are found throughout the bathroom, such as a working soap dispenser, a flushing toilet, working mirrors, and a white board where you can draw and erase whatever you please.
Leaving the bathroom you’ll run around some locker rooms and hallways, a boss is encountered, and if you’ve been keeping up with Duke Nukem you’ll remember this fight from Episode 3 in Duke Nukem 3D. Duke is faced by a giant Cycloid on a football field and the only way to take it down is with a rocket launcher that holds only 69 rockets. Support from above will drop more rockets when you run low. When the Cycloid’s health bar is depleted, a prompt will appear by the boss, allowing Duke to finish the fight with a brutal finisher – grabbing its tongue and kicking it through the field goal posts. The scene then pulls out revealing a TV, with Duke Nukem Forever on it, and Duke sitting in a chair in his mansion receiving some sort of oral service from two of his lady friends.
The next level in the demo is revealed as “Level 15” and starts off with a short driving sequence. When Duke runs out of gas, he hops out and continues on foot. Duke quickly runs into some Pig Cops. After shooting a couple dead, you’re able to find a variety of weapons, such as the shrink ray, rail gun, and the classic shotgun. After shooting some more Pig Cops a ship flies down and shoots Duke, sending him to the ground, but not without Duke sending up a middle finger first, ending the demo.
So here we are with a 12 year old Duke Nukem game that feels good to play and nails the humor that any fan would expect from a game like this. It’s absolutely crazy that Duke Nukem Forever is due to come out in 2011, but you know what they say, always bet on Duke. You can expect Duke Nukem Forever on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC next year.
Can’t wait to venture back into Pandora and kill more monsters? Borderlands fans, get your calenders ready and mark this date. SEPTEMBER 28th. That is the release date for Borderland’s Fourth chunk of DLC, ‘Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution’.
This DLC will also be bundled with the Game of the Year Edition slated for October 12th, 2010. So if you don’t have the game, I’d suggest picking up the GOTY edition; the game is completely worth it.
The free level cap update is currently undated, but it has to be nearing release as well; so the end of September/beginning of October, it is time to pull out Borderlands once again. I know I was kind of getting board of killing Crawmerax for the hundredth time. Only one pearlescent weapon too, can you believe that?!
Nexuiz will be launched this Winter.
