It’s alive!
From Kotaku: “2K Games has made it official. Duke Nukem Forever is alive and, well, in the hands of developer Gearbox Software, confirming our earlier reports that the Borderlands studio was helping to complete the game’s absurdly long development cycle. The publisher announced this morning in advance of PAX 2010 that Gearbox Software was on the job, picking up where developer 3D Realms left off. Gearbox plans to ship the game within the next year…”
Check Kotaku for more info.
This is coming soon to WiiWare and possibly other consoles (not sure about that yet). I especially like the references to TMNT and Bionic Commando on the NES.
Jockey Riders. The jockeys must ride the survivors, and both must cooperate with each other in a fast paced race to see what survivor-jockey combo reaches the saferoom first.
This is too good of a deal to pass up. Here are some awesome indie games and you get them all for whatever you want to pay. The money can either go to charity (Child’s Play in particular), the developers, or be evenly split between the two. Right off the bat, I can personally vouch for the awesomeness of World of Goo, Aquaria, and Penumbra Overture; and I’ve heard good things about Gish.
The Humble Indie Bundle (pay what you want for five awesome indie games)
This looks really neat. It’s coming out this week for XBLA and PC.
Jace Hall was one of the co-founders of Monolith, who made Blood and Shogo, among other things. He’s since branched out and one of the things that he’s been doing is the reality show the Jace Hall Show. It’s funny, but this episode is especially good cause of a visit to Blizzard and a rematch between Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers (who fought in Rocky IV).
Does anyone remember the old Jailbreak mod from Quake/Quake 2? If not, the idea is that every opponent you kill appears in your team’s jail. Once all are captured, you win the game. Those in the jail can be rescued by their teammates or try and break out themselves.
This Source version of it looks completely and utterly insane, and that’s awesome (and using Thin Lizzy for the music is awesome too)!
This looks great! Of course, it’s just a CGI trailer, but it’s very epic.
We'll aim to have a session this week.
