On Monday you’ll be able to get Alien Swarm from Valve for free. Here’s the deal; Alien Swarm was a top-down, four-player co-op from 2004. Turns out that Valve hired the team behind the game in 2008, had them work on L4D, Portal 2 but also Alien Swarm. Interestingly, Valve’s also releasing an SDK on […]

Fantasy Westward Journey anime TV ad
Fantasy Westward Journey is a popular online CRPG in China. What we have here is an advert created by the agency JWT Shanghai for the game. I swear the music sounds like Turning Japanese by The Vapors and wouldn’t that be a quirky choice for a Chinese ad rich in anime art style.
Portal 2: All five trailer parts – for science, you monster
Thanks to the godlike E3 we already have had one superb teaser trailer for Portal 2. Poor GLaDOS has been busy being dead ever since you murdered her. You monster. However, for science, we now have five more trailers for the game. They’re all awesome.
Starcraft 2 trailer looks impressive
It seems like a hundred years ago when I had a loan copy of Starcraft, played it like mad but had to give it back just before I finished it. I also remember a Starcraft that was a RTS game. In fact, it was probably the last RTS that I enjoyed playing. I’m interested in […]
LEGO Universe: Lego MMO gameplay demo
The folks at Mashable have managed to have a guided tour of the forthcoming LEGO MMO. Have to say; it looks pretty good. The story is simple. In a quest to tap imagination – something goes wrong. They mess up. The maelstrom is created instead and that destroyes imagination. In the game you run around […]
Portal 2: For Science – You Monster
Seems like the computer might be willing to forgive you – in the name of science. Mind you, maybe she forgives you in the same way she intends to share her cake with you! This trailer for Portal 2 aired at the Sony Conference during the 2010 E3. We’re expecting the sequel to be available […]
No demo for Warhammer 40K MMO yet – but here’s a trailer video
Vigil didn’t manage to get a playable demo for the forthcoming Warhammer 40K MMO for E3 but its probably better not worth rushing these things and making a poor first impression. They did manage to showcase a gameplay footage trailer though. The game’s due out in the first quarter of 2013. (Via MMO Site.)
Impressive Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer ‘Hope’
I’m awfully impressed with this trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I think Bioware and Lucasarts have managed to create something that will be true to the Star Wars mythos and still be fun to play through as a game. Some of the extra insight we have are just as impressive. Players will have […]
Get your eyeballs on this: Civilization 5 game-play
I’m such a Civ fan. I used to play it on a little Color Classic Mac in my parents bedroom until I was thrown out so they could sleep. Why wouldn’t I get Civ 5? I would worry I’d become equally addicted to it and I just don’t have the time. My main non-console computer […]
Dead Frontier: Free Zombie MMORPG upgrades to 3D
I’m not sure how much of a battle it is to be the world’s most popular zombie MMORPG – but right now Creaky Corpse Ltd (once known as Jagged Blade Games) claims they have that title with their Dead Frontier game. Currently, Dead Frontier is free to play and its in 2D. By September, however, […]
