News::Outlast's Whistleblower DLC sure looks unsettling
As much as I like being scared, there's a sense of dread I have to overcome before returning to horror games I've already played through. Perhaps you'll find yourself in a similar situation after watching this effective trailer for Outlast 's Whistleblower DLC. It's out May 6 for PC and North American PlayStation 4, and May 7 for European PS4 at a price point of $8.99.
Whistleblower is set before the core Outlast story -- at least initially -- and revolves around a software engineer up at Mount Massive Asylum. He's understandably not okay with the experiments going on there. According to developer Red Barrels, this DLC will "stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter." Closure: we could use some.

News::It's Peter Parkour, The Amazing Freerunning Spider-Man
I am so sorry. I tried to come up with something different, but I kept coming back to "Peter Parkour". Hopefully this superhero-themed video from Ronnie Street Stunts can redeem the headline.

News::Review: Life Goes On
In most games, as in the real world, death is something to be avoided. Often it is a learning experience, but that is used to teach how not to die next time. In Life Goes On, the gameplay centers on death, but its approach is one of utility and necessity. One man may die in order for others to succeed in the future.
As a puzzle platformer, the idea appears a bit shallow at first, but it leverages some great game design tenets to stay fresh throughout the experience. Though it begins with the simple concept of using dead bodies as stepping stones to cross spike pits, it is constantly introducing new puzzle elements to play with across its dense campaign.

News::Jet Set Radio composer contributing to Hover
Composer Hideki Naganuma of Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future fame has signed on for Hover: Revolt of Gamers , that neat open-world inline skating game. Considering its developers were inspired by those titles and fans of JSR seem to be digging it, that's a good get.
Speaking about the project, which is doing quite well on Kickstarter, Naganuma said "It was love at first sight. Hover has hot graphics and a cool worldview. At first glance, I felt like I'd love to make music for Hover. This feeling's been a long time since Jet Set Radio Future."
Looking ahead, there are stretch goals to double the game's city size and create a Wii U version with asymmetric gameplay. Plenty of time left in the campaign to meet those and potentially more. For now, the plan is to release Hover on PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

News::Chiptune artist Shael Riley wants to train your ears with new game
Shael Riley (of The Double Ice Backfire) and his pals at ThaSauce Games want to bring music game fans something fresh and unique to the genre, in the hopes it will be picked up by Steam Greenlight. Riley tackled the art, sound, and game design, while fellow developer Chris Motola took the brunt of the programming work. The duo has teamed with gaming site ThaSauce head honcho Doug Arley to help refine their UI. Rather than being a typical rhythm game, this looks to be more along the lines of working with music theory.
String's Theory tasks players with attempting to pick out major, minor, or seventh chords hiding among other notes. It's a form of training the ear to hear the bad note within a chord, and eliminating it. The puzzle/music game hybrid features over 40 levels that look to not only entertain but also help players learn how to hear and understand notes and chords.
As a guy who has always struggled with wishing my ear was better attuned to what notes I was hearing, this certainly appeals to me, and the straightforward interface seems easy to grasp, while offering a suitable amount of challenge as you progress.
Check out the Steam Greenlight page for String's Theory and see what you think.

Pretty good way to make sure people don't cancel, I'd say. For super detailed information about the plan and how individual games are affected, click the link below.
