A Cloverfiled Look At Inversion
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 7th of April 2011 - 04:02 PM ]
A few months ago I brought you a look at Inversion, Namco's upcoming game that give you use over the fundamental forces of gravity. There was a teaser. There were a few screen shots. There was even a Feb 7th 2012 date given for the game. Fun stuff… Looks like the early promotions are continuing, only this time it has nothing really all that new for the game. Maybe a bit of what is going on with the story, but even that can't be fully seen here. It's like the beginning of Heroes then moves into some crazy Cloverfield shots. Read More...

Review: Knights Contract
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 21st of March 2011 - 09:26 PM ]
It is time to travel back to the early Burning Times. A time when religious superstition and fears drove many good and innocent people to the gallows or to a public burning at the stake. A time depicted and twisted for Game Republic and Namco Bandai's most recent endeavor, Knights Contract. In Knights Contract you play Heinrich Hofmann, an experienced witch-executioner plagued by a curse of immortality, who charged with the task of protecting a witch by the name of Gretchen as she attempts to save the world. The world is being threatened by a mad scientist, named Dr. Faust, who is trying to gain the same curse Heinrich has, as well as rid the world of witches all together. Read More...

Knights Contract Slips Out Between Killzone 3 And Bulletstorm
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 23rd of February 2011 - 04:50 PM ]
With the huge hype for both Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 it is a little easy to see how this gem I've been watching fall through the crack of attention. The gem being Knights Contract for those who have not been following along over the last month. Also for those who refuse or don't read the titles of the articles we post here on AggroGamer. But that is splitting skulls hairs I guess. Well Knights Contract launched yesterday amongst the two giant FPS games none the less. Read More...

Getting Your Fight On In Knights Contract
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 14th of February 2011 - 09:23 PM ]
Maybe it is just me, but I am looking forward to Knights Contract. It doesn't seem to be picking up much attention from any one at all but every time I see something new I get even more interested in what is going on with this game. Maybe it is the rehashing of old IPs that is downing out Knights Contract. Have we all given into the nostalgia bull shit so much that we are not willing to give a second glance to an original IP? Well if you are not pining over the latest Marvel Vs. Read More...

New Inversion Screens Show How To Command Gravity
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 11th of February 2011 - 05:12 PM ]
So here is a title that has seemed to fall through the cracks of my press releases. The game is called Inversion and it is being developed by Saber Interactive and Namco. Maybe because it was suppose to come out sometime last year and then got pushed under a rug. Maybe it is because things have been silent since GamesCom 2010 and a 2011 delay announced. I don't know, but it is now slated to hit selves February 7th 2012 and from what is being shown right now, the game has snagged a bit of my attention. Here's the story for those not in the know like I was: You take on the role of a young father and husband, Davis Russel, who finds himself thrust into war when his peaceful city is invaded by an unknown enemy.

Review: Splatterhouse
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 16th of December 2010 - 12:20 AM ]
After almost two decades since the last Splatterhouse game released on the Sega Genesis, we finally received a reboot of sorts. Well, it's more along the lines of a retelling - backed by the power of the new technology we only dreamt of way back then. No longer stuck in the basics of side scrolling, we now get to take Rick on a fully 3D roaming adventure. Don't fret though; there are plenty of throwbacks to the original for fans of the franchise to cherish. The story goes as thus: Rick and his girlfriend, Jen, are heading to the creepy mansion of Dr. Read More...

Splatter Kills Galore In Splatterhouse
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 15th of November 2010 - 05:55 PM ]
Splatterhouse is going to be violent. There is no doubt to that at all. Queue the question… But how violent is it? Well if you look below, you can get a view of some of the new shots of some of the "Splatter Kills" in the game. These are some of those over the top finishing moves that Rick will be performing at your behest. These apparently are the mild ones too as some have been rumored to cause dry heaves in the developer's studio. While I am sure that Splatterhouse's special and stylized kill moves will be awesome and unique, I have doubts that they will have the same effect on us desensitized gamers. Read More...

Evil Dead Or Splatterhouse Or Both?
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 4th of November 2010 - 09:41 PM ]
No there is no crazy Ash reference or extra skin for the game. But there are a bunch of new screen shots showing off some great Boom Stick and Chainsaw action. Something I am sure that Ash would completely be on par with if he was locked in the West Mansion looking for his girlfriend. That's not all we got here though. These are also some shots from the Survival Arenas of Splatterhouse. For the uninitiated they are an "unlockable 20 rounds of unending horror which enable players to take on ever increasing waves of grotesque monsters in a test of endurance and strength. Read More...

Pigsy's Perfect 10 Is Not A Porn As It Sounds
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 2nd of November 2010 - 06:22 PM ]
Maybe it is just me, but the title of the upcoming DLC for Enslaved: Odyssey To The West really sounds like a porn title. If you have played the game and run into the titular character for this DLC it's even more likely that you can make that jump in logic. I mean the character Pigsy is, well, a pig when it comes to the female populace. To go further into the thought on the DLC, the premise from the sounds of it is that Pigsy is tired of being lonely and wants to build his perfect fembot. At least this is the sum up from the press release and trailer. Read More...

Splatterhouse Has A Theme Park
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 29th of October 2010 - 09:02 PM ]
No, I'm not talking some Halloween park inspired by the game, although that would be awesome. (I just ©ed that.) Instead it is a glimpse of another location in the upcoming Splatterhouse "remake." Although I think that a different name should have been used, but hey, I guess Dandyland works. I do expect Namco to have a few "homophobic" articles to pop over this - just like Enslaved and the "racism." In the end though, that should be the last bit of news to surface for Splatterhouse. Well besides the game going Gold and locking in the November 23rd release date. Read More...

Splatterhouse's Rick Is More Bad Ass Than Wolverine
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 15th of October 2010 - 10:33 PM ]
If you don't believe the title, look at the new set of visuals for Splatterhouse. These screen shots show off a bit on how the "Health" meter of Splatterhouse will be visually shown on Rick. As he gets hurt the character model changes as appropriate. Not to major of new news there but it is something that has been seen this up close and personal. I mean these lacerations and complete loss of flesh look rather realistic, at least for the game's style. So how does this make Rick more bad ass? Read More...

Review: Enslaved: Odyssey To The West
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 13th of October 2010 - 10:22 PM ]
It is the distant future and just as is assumed in most post-apocalyptic stories, the machines have all but stamped out most of humanity. Those humans still wandering the devastated, in this case, America either spend their time hiding from the still active killing machines or slavers rounding them all up. Two of these survivors being a brilliant technophile nicknamed Trip and "Me Smash" hulk of a man nick named Monkey. Both of whom have been captured and shipped out to the evil Pyramid to be executed or added into the slave population. Read More...

The Soothing Sounds Of Splatterhouse
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 8th of October 2010 - 07:57 PM ]
Just as pounding and brutal as the visuals for Splatterhouse look to be, it looks like the audio for the game will be just as brutal. Man I haven't used brutal to describe game music since Brütal Legend last year, but in this case it fits. It actually fits a lot more than it did for the 108 songs of Brütal Legend, but now I am getting side tracked again. Below you will find the 14 tracks listed for the soundtrack of the game. At first it sounds like that may not be all that many tracks, but I am sure that just like the PSP title Infected we will be drawn in to the violence and gore that we won't notice. Read More...

Slavers Are Not The Only Enemy In Enslaved
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 16th of September 2010 - 06:57 PM ]
That is something that you should have already known though if you've followed Enslaved: Odyssey to the West with a fraction of the attention I have. But I figured that I would hook you all up with the new look at the robots that will be the main enemies for Monkey and Trip as they venture west to get Trip back home. It is getting even closer to the Terminator, and most likely our own, future will be in the number of robots that will control humans. You know it will happen even with all of our warning movies and stories. Read More...

Get Enslaved By These New Screens And DLC Announcements
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 10th of September 2010 - 09:51 PM ]
As I said back at Gamescom, my interest was just starting to come around for Enslaved: Odyssey To The West after seeing the actual game footage there. It was something truly attention catching and these new screen and clips nail your eyes lids to the game while a 300 lbs. midget sits on the back of your head keeping your eyes focused on nothing but. (Read: I think it looks super keen.) While below you may only start out seeing screen shots of how the game will visually look, which is not too shabby, the video shows a bit of how the combat system will flow and how the game will play out.
