Nightdive and Ziggurat are restoring a cult classic with Killing Time: Resurrected

Nightdive Studiosannounced theirnext remastering project at the Guerilla Collective today. This time, they’re teaming with their fellow retro enthusiasts at Ziggurat to put the polisher on 3DO’s 1995 cult-classic FPS,Killing Time.Killing Time: Resurrectedwill be released later this year. Killing Timeis one of the few games I own for my 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, one of the doomed consoles of the ‘90s. While playing through the first area of the game, I stopped myself because, while the game is fine, it was obviously not the ideal way to play it....

Nothing makes sense in this Madden glitch

It’s good to see Cordarrelle score again Down three with six seconds left, the Tennessee Titans are attempting a field goal to take the game to overtime. The kick is short, the Minnesota Vikings return man catches it in the end zone, and immediately starts celebrating his touchdown which is awarded to the Titans. Wait, what? All logic is defied in thisMadden 17glitch, as demonstrated in this YouTube video by Matthew Skoglund....

This was my reaction when I first checked out the trailer (which you can view below) forYonder: The Cloud Catcher Chroniclesby the Brisbane-based studio, Prideful Sloth....

Originally Zelda: Breath of the Wild had a much darker look

I like both! Zelda: Breath of the Wildhad a glorious aesthetic to it: bright and vibrant, to the point where even the mechanical aspects of the game felt like they had life. But this concept art from the Master Works 30th Anniversary book are something else entirely, to the point of pure nightmare fuel of Lovecraftian proportions. Obtained by Gaming Reinvented, the most stunning piece of art showcases the hellish look of the Guardians, but there’s also a ton of other interesting tidbits in there like the interior of Hyrule Castle before the fall, as well as other various facets of the universe and NPCs....

How basically Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallonewere used as “influences”when designing the cover and character art for the main heroes ofContra.

The figures come in at 7″, are hand painted, feature weathering effects, and have a removable bandolier and flak vest....

Rome II update replaces Indian elephants for African ones

You’d think Creative Assembly would have checked that? In his review ofTotal War: Rome II, our own Josh Tolentinowas left unhappy at the buggy state of the game but was happy with the level of historical accuracy displayed. I wonder if he would have docked the game an extra point if he knew the default elephant models were not African elephants, which would have been historically accurate, but Indian ones instead!...

Screenshot confirms M. Bison and Xiaoyu for SF X Tekken

Filling out the roster ofStreet Fighter X Tekkenever so slightly, we have two more characters on board: M. Bison and Ling Xiaoyu. The above image was found on the game’sXbox Live Marketplace page, allowing us blogger types to relax knowing we won’t have to come back an hour from now with an update nullifying the leak.

Skylanders cross-platform across console, PC, mobile

Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventureis hoping to be one of the hot toy products this holiday season, featuring small action figures that can be slotted into a “portal” and brought to life in an accompanying videogame. It’s a deliciously “nineties” idea, which is why I dig it. It’s also cross-platform, too. The nature of the portal device means thatSkylanderswill work across consoles, computers and even mobile phones. Once you have your ownPORTAL OF POWER OH MY CHRIST, you can load your little characters up anywhere....
