News::Video Preview: Insurgency Bullets For Everyone

Leviathyn says: "Nowadays its pretty amazing to see what an indie studio can push out with minimal funds and staff. Insurgency, an indie title falling into said category, brings even more truth to those words. Back in 2007, New World Interactive was responsible for the original Insurgency which was a Half-Life mod. Gaining popularity in rapid succession, its given way to the more modernized version of Insurgency you see here. Due out this summer, weve crafted a nice video preview of our time in an early access build of the game."

News::An Alternative View Of BioShock Infinite

'JoeP' at GameGrin writes: "Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth's adventure through the cloud surfing city of Columbia easily deserves its praise, and on a personal level, I enjoyed the entire experience immensely. However, as fantastical as Infinite was to experience, there are certainly elements of the experience that fell short of perfection."

News::Conception: Please Have My Baby gets sequel on 3DS, Vita

Remember Conception ? Yeah, that PSP dungeon crawler where the protagonist must save the world by having magical children with a dozen celestial maidens. Well, it's getting a sequel and publisher Spike Chunsoft seems keen on bringing the title west.


Conception 2 is coming to Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita this summer in Japan. There's no confirmation of a western release just yet, but Spike is gauging interest so at least it's a possibility. The premise sounds hilariously absurd and Lord knows Sony's portable is in dire need of software. Let's all start bugging Atlus, XSEED, and Aksys and make this thing happen.
