News::Another map, local multiplayer planned for Goat Simulator

Fans have been asking Coffee Stain Studios for Goat Simulator DLC and I can see why: what's there is tremendously funny, goofy stuff but there isn't a ton of it. We're in luck. The studio doesn't want to "charge for new content" so it'll have a free patch for us in mid-May.

Patch 1.1 introduces another playable map that's "roughly the size of the original map," local splitscreen multiplayer, more achievements, and new goats, to name a few of the additions.

Mods have helped extend the life of Goat Simulator but they're not all going to meet expectations set by the core game. Another map from Coffee Stain is exactly what I wanted.

News::Up Up Down Down: Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z

GameZone: "What happens when you get former Mega Man designer Keiji Inafune and his company Comcept and team them up with Team Ninja? Apparently, you get a delightfully wacky zombie game set in the Ninja Gaiden universe. Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is heavy on the hack-and-slash action, dripping with (entertainingly) asinine adult humor, and filled with ridiculous moments. Unfortunately, a number of imperfections rear their ugly heads all too often. Even then, Ninja Gaiden Z is good, goofy fun."

While we wait for the inevitable gameplay trailer to crop up soon, we spotted a few snaps posted on the official MotoGP game FaceBook page showing the PC version of MotoGP '14 running on an Asus laptop as part of a trip to Qatar in Asia, which hosted the first race event on the real life MotoGP calendar a couple of weeks ago. Curiously, PS4 controllers are being used just to add salt to the wounds of Xbox One players who won't be enjoying MotoGP '14."

The Yawhg is one of those games, and its worth playing through even though a lot of people would think that its not even much of a game to begin with.

Gamereactor caught up with Creative Assembly's Al Hope and found out more about Alien: Isolation, and what the studio is hoping to achieve by venturing into the depths of the survival horror genre. "From the outset, the reason we made the game was it felt like no-one had taken advantage of Alien," Hope told us when we mentioned the renaissance currently underway in the survival horror genre. "No-one had made the game we wanted to play... I think that first film, there's a natural overlap into survival horror, so it's kind of like the original survival horror. It just felt very natural for us to be recreating that experience and putting you in that space where just one alien could be a really meaningful and exciting and scary experience."

"Is there a name for the Minecraft-like genre yet? Are they sandbox games, taking that term away from the GTAs of the world? Thats fine I guess, considering they are usually called open-world games anyway. Its heartening to be involved in what is still the formative years of gaming, where new genres can still come out of nowhere and defy definition for years. Anyway, Planet Explorers is another sandbox-ish game hoping to take the Minecraft ascetic into the full third dimension, rather than a world of obvious voxels. Add in its impressively in-depth creation tool for weapons and vehicles, and Planet Explorers already looks like a gift to the Garys Mod crowd." - Alex Santa Maria of Geekenstein

Getting onto Metacritic is a particularly effective means of promoting a sites image and a good or sometimes just sensational enough review will pull site hits like you cannot believe.
