News::Resident Evil: Revelations Review Shook Ones I The Koalition

Edward Velazquez of The Koalition writes: When Resident Evil: Revelations came out for the 3DS last February, it pushed the little handheld's power to the limits and shined some light on a series many consider to have peaked. In a way, Revelations is a hidden gem in that it's one of the good Resident Evil games out there, only thing is that you needed a 3DS to enjoy it. Fear not! Capcom has decided to HD-ify Revelations for everyone who lacks a 3DS but has access to a 360, PS3, Wii U and PC.

News::Whispers in The Dark Ep. 45: Los Juegos Hermanos

Rely on Horror: On this episode of the Whispers podcast we talked a whole lot about the Xbox One and our concerns regarding Microsofts plans with the console. On top of that we discuss our plans to sell the podcast as an illegal substance, upcoming indie horror games, desktop gaming, and then we read a Whispers in The Dark fanfiction. It was just Kyle and I on this weeks show, so expect some serious unfiltered shenanigans.

News::Injustice: Gods Among Us Review | DarkStation

DarkStation: "I had fun playing Injustice, but not as much as I wanted too. The combos and hits have a cadence and feeling to them that Ive only found in NetherRealm games. Its a sort of slower, rhythmic feeling and its not too difficult to pull off useful and reasonably powerful combos. When youre executing a combo and trading blows with an opponent the game is as good as any other. The problem comes in with the games movement, which feels much stiffer than other fighting games. This is especially true of the jumps which, while fairly fast seems less organic and smooth then something in other 2D fighting games. There are a ton of projectile characters as well, and without a universal air dash its easy to become frustrated against those who simply spam those abilities. The fighting system isnt bad, it seems perfectly balanced, I just didnt particular care for the way the game moved. If the movement had been more fluid, I think I would have really liked this game a lot."

News::Sha-ZAM! Infinite Crisis reveals a marvellous champion


I have always enjoyed the iconic heroes found within the DC universe, such as your Batman and Aquaman, but some it is always nice to see some light shed on lesser known top-tier hero. Captain Marvel, or Shazam as he is now being referred to in the New 52 DC line and in Infinite Crisis , has always been one of my favorites, even if the hood makes him look a little like Robin from Batman: Arkham City .


In this video, Turbine and WB Games lays down some knowledge on the kind of pain that Shazam brings to Infinite Crisis . As a hard-hitting melee character, the good Captain loves to job right into the thick of things, and with his ability to quickly boost his offensive and defensive skills he is sure to make a solid addition to any team.


Infinite Crisis is shaping up to be a nice little MOBA alternative for those of us who enjoy watching our favourite DC characters smack each other around, and who don't have easy access to Injustice . Still I rather prefer the older 1940's costume design for Captain Marvel than his current attire, but what do I know about superhero fashion.

News::Zombies in Oz?! American McGee reveals more on OZombie

From the creative and somewhat disturbing mind of American McGee comes the reveal for his latest title; a twisted take on the classic tale of Dorothy in OZombie. Since the beginning of May, the OZombie Facebook group has been alight with all manner of concept art for the title.


From the looks of the concept art, the art design seems to be gearing itself more to a steampunk aesthetic; which is not a far cry from what American McGee and Spicy Horse have done in the past. The OZombie Facebook group has also been giving away Alice -related gifts to fans for opinion on some of the more memorable moments in the Oz series. A very nice gesture from a team that want to pay homage to this long running series and get to their fans involved in the process too.


Although there may not be much in terms of what the story may be so far, hopefully these concepts will help tide over American McGee fans. Those Munchkin Zombies are terrifying though.

News::World of Warcraft Patch 5.3 Escalation Storyline Transcript and Videos

Blizzplanet collected a transcript of the 3 new Scenario dungeons, all the 11 quests, NPC dialogues and video of the entire World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Patch 5.3 Escalation storyline. This patch introduced dual-faction scenarios which both Alliance and Horde can experience. The Dark Heart of Pandaria scenario gives players a hint of what Blizzard Entertainment plans are for the final Mists of Pandaria dungeon featuring the Siege of Orgrimmar to dethrone Warchief Garrosh. Fans always thought Garrosh would be possessed or wield the power of the final missing Sha. Things got more complicated than that. Garrosh's forces have unearthed in the Dark Heart of Pandaria the prison of the misty remains of the Old god Y'shaarj. The chest is taken back to Orgrimmar by Garrosh's right hand: Malkorok. The final raid dungeon will be a Garrosh souped up with the power of an Old god. That sounds epic.

The lucky tap was done by Bryan Henderson of Edinburgh, and was revealed by Molyneux earlier today on Twitter.

He describes the overwhelming response that the title garnered and thanked the fans for their support. Curiosity's big reveal relates to the god game 22 Cans has been working on for a while now, Godus . While the reveal in itself was a bit like watching patiently with enthusiasm as a firecracker fails to go off, the interesting part is how the winner of Curiosty will be linked to this new game.


In Godus, Bryan will not only be the big deity on campus but will also have a hand in creating the rules governing the game. As an added bonus, Molyneux also revealed that Bryan will get to share in the revenue generated by Godus . Fame, fortune, and godly power -- not a bad deal.

Capcom listened to the fans and replied triumphantly with this installment. The HD visuals are pretty well done, the audio is incredibly crisp, the gameplay is perfectly tuned and the story will have you wondering what lies next. Add Raid Mode on top of all that and you have an incredibly robust package that Capcom has offered. Resident Evil fans may have missed out on the 3DS version, but with it now being available on the PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360, theres no excuse to miss out on this. If you already own the 3DS version, you may not have to buy a console version, unless you want to play it on the big screen.
