Kickstarter has been a foothold for many great projects in the past year and one of these was Guns of Icarus Online (Skirmish Mode). This game allowed players to grab some friends and take to the skies in an airship, all with different responsibilities on said ship. Well, the guys and girls over at Muse Games are back on Kickstarter with their next project, Guns of Icarus Online (Adventure Mode). GameGrin managed to get an interview with Eric Chung (Lead Designer) and Howard Tseo (CEO).

News::How Fast Can You Die In... BioShock Infinite?

GamesRadar - Last week's Gears of War: Judgment video was a real winner, shooting straight to the top of our HFCYDI leaderboard. But that also meant there wasn't much time for the patented Towell Joke Factory to leave its mark on the proceedings. Well, suffice to say there's plenty of time for the usual nonsense and silliness in BioShock Infinite's attempt at the record. Could it be the slowest death since our leaderboard began?

Here is another bundle deal from the folks over at Groupee; this time it's a bunch of retro-themed PC indie games on offer. For the price of just $1, you can get six game: Dead Pixels, Smooth Operators, Forceline, Hit and Run, Sylia, and Love+.

If you pay a minimum of $3 you'll also get 8-bit Commando, Anodyne and Bleed. It looks like the bundle will reach its fifth stretch goal of 5,000 bundles sold, so if you hold off for a bit, you'll be able to get the soundtrack to Anodyne as well. It's rare to see a bundle where I don't actually own any of the games; this is looking mighty tempting.

News::The Phantoms of Kojima Productions

Over the past week, we here at Real Gamer Newz have been having some interesting discussions about the upcoming cloven Metal Gear Solid V. Speculations have mostly been about what consoles both parts will be featured on, and while both parts have been confirmed for PS3 and XBOX 360, with no release dates yet offered by Kojima or Konami, its fairly safe to assume that there will be at least versions of them on next gen consoles. The Fox engine just seems too powerful for them to limit themselves on their flagship game in their marquis series to current gen gaming devices. All the footage that weve seen so far, from last years announcement of Ground Zeroes to last weeks reveal of the full Phantom Pain trailer has been running on a PC construct, so its certainly possible that theyll release PC versions as well.

GameInformer: "Exploring GDC last week, I discovered a small booth with a single screen covered in darkness. Small flashes brought vibrant colors, almost like a flashlight teasing the brilliance of a Jackson Pollock painting. I kept inching closer trying to figure out the mystery behind the display. But what struck me most was how darkness would transform into something beautiful...a special magic potentially foreshadowing something deeper. Questions abounding, I finally approached the demo station. The answers I got were just as intriguing as the initial glimpse."

The three tracks -- Power Core, Sloan's Assault, and Warzone -- have all been embedded here for your listening enjoyment. The music is amazing and makes me want Blood Dragon even more.

Actually, you should go check out all of Power Glove's music on their SoundCloud page. It's all pretty awesome.

News::The first two days of Defiance

Defiance , Trion Worlds's post-apocalyptic MMO shooter, came out a couple of days ago, and I've been courting it. We've gone on a few dates, but we're still getting to know each other, so it will likely be a couple of weeks until I'm ready to give my full impressions. The Syfy TV show based on the game airs on April 15, and the game will apparently have an effect on the series, so I'd at least like to watch an episode of that first.

In the mean time, allow me to share with you my first foray into this ravaged future Earth, where aliens and humans live side-by-side, but don't exactly co-exist. There's still a lot of junk I probably don't know or haven't figured out yet, so bear with me.

For those who want their survival-horror without copious amounts of ammunition and kickboxing, there are few games that deliver as expertly in this department. You'll struggle to open doors as you hear the ominous sound of footsteps looming ever closer, you'll begin to panic as you find yourself trapped in a narrow corridor and you'll likely quit to your desktop when your flashlight runs out of battery, submitting yourself to the will of Slender's lanky tentacle arms. While I hope that future iterations in the series will introduce some new gameplay elements, for the time being I'm still enamoured with the core concept of Slender, and I'm therefore more than satisfied with what Hadley & co. have delivered. A must-play for fans of the survival-horror genre."
