News::Days of Dawn Being Recoded From The Ground Up

Nathaniel Liles writes: "Days of Dawn, an RPG that received a very warm welcome when its Kickstarter launched, has fallen from its original high graces. On the 4th of July, a day usually meant as a joyous, drunken declaration of Not being British anymore, backers received a private update. Since were magical space gnomes with access to literally all information, we managed to get ahold of this backers-only update, and its both good and bad news. The title of the update is Dumping it. which was certainly meant to scare backers into actually reading the update."

News::in2gpu: Elite Dangerous Preview

Justin Popa at in2gpu.com says: The year is 3300. Humanity expanded beyond the reach of Earth and has gone outside of its own solar system Sol in search for resources, new species and trading opportunities. Expansion however was very slow until 200 years ago, when the technologies of frameshift and hyperjump were perfected, giving rise to faster than light travel and making the journey between stars a question of fuel rather than time. As these technologies became affordable to civilians, trading and exploration vastly benefited and grew giving clear passage to the members of pilots federation to explore, trade and hunt.

News::Blue Estate - Review | GamingLives

GamingLives takes a look at HESAW's gangster shooter with 80's arcade-style light-gun action. "The story itself is the standard gangster comedy, with some memorable characters and some interesting quirks. Youll chuckle occasionally even if, stylistically, it seems to be a straight rip-off of House of the Dead: Overkill but with breathing baddies rather than undead ones."

News::This Persona meets Seinfeld mock-up is making me thirsty

Oh, SpacePirate Ridley. You are my hero. This Persona and Seinfeld crossover parody is what dreams are made of, and I can't wait to see more. Taken from the NeoGAF Persona Community Thread, the above still is the result of one forum-goer's pursuit to create Seinfeld-themed nods to Persona 4 . And it's awesome.

I love the attention to detail in this mock-up and sincerely wish I were a fraction as talented of an artist. And Newman. Oh, Newman. I demand to see more. What's more, I demand that this be a game as soon as possible.

News::Anomaly Defenders Review | Warp Zoned

Warp Zoned writes: "The original Anomaly: Warzone Earth took a fresh, new approach in the ubiquitous tower defense genre by flipping the traditional roles around, having you play as the creeps fighting against the towers. The fun, challenging gameplay led to a sequel (aptly named Anomaly 2), which introduced the very cool creeps vs. towers multiplayer. Well, those darn alien towers are back in a third installment, Anomaly Defenders, except this time, you are the darn aliens."

News::The PES 2015 Microtransactions Saga

You could be forgiven for thinking that gaming used to be so much simpler. For example, if you go back 10 years ago, the thinking mans football game was PES 5 rather than the FIFA franchise many thought was just a shameless annual cash-in. Sure PES has never been the prettiest of games and even though they struggled to compete with a lack of licenses, meaning players had names such as Roberto Larcos (Roberto Carlos) and Van Moostelroom (Van Nistelrooy) the majority of football fans were very forgiving because they preferred the ball physics and gameplay. Who needs bright lights, fancy menus and glossy intros and another 7-0 victory on FIFA when you can grind out a realistic 1-0 victory over your best friend in the most authentic football experience you could ever enjoy on a games console or PC. Arguably after PES 6, Konami quite literally took their eye off the ball and EA seized the moment to dramatically improve the FIFA series. Meanwhile PES ran into problems and eventu...

G3AR: "I used to think that any game with a sniper rifle is a good game. Unfortunately, Ive been proven wrong many times before, but still, nothing beats the excitement of a well-planned and executed shot from an unknown location. Combine this with some gratuitous violence and you end up with Sniper Elite 3: Afrika."

News::Scritch, scratch, and remix your favorite chiptunes with Gambi

Gambi is an interesting app that allows you to remix and play around with chiptunes. It includes a free track that you can mess about with, though the actual app itself is $7, if you want to take the plunge. The layout is quite attractive, and the Game Boy-styled narrative at the beginning caught my attention almost immediately.



Build playlists, remix and sample your favorite tunes, and check out the bundled tracks included from bands like Blitz Lunar and Hally. If you've got an ear for remixes (Grimecraft?) it might be worth your time to check out.
