Since we had so much fun on last week’sSaturday Morning Hangover,playingApocalypseon PlayStation and enjoying the ample voice talents of the one and only Bruce Willis, Jordan and I have decided we’re going to keep going. Prepare yourself for giggles a-plenty as we fight the forces of darkness with the combined power of big guns and over-enthusiastic delivery of one-liners. But before it can be, “time to jam,” we have a selection of Xbox Live Indie Games demos to play....

Grant and friends Another sombre trailer has been released by Starbreeze Studios, building the hype for in-development co-op shooterOverkill’s The Walking Dead. Likethe excellent Maya trailerlast month, this short takes a look at one of the player protagonists; Grant. Grant is a somewhat older gentleman making his way through the Walker-filled world, seemingly on a mission to track down his lost grand-daughter. Though the zombie apocalypse can be a pretty barren place, Grant has at least found a pal to keep him company....

I was born on January 1, honest! With recent changes at the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, the amount of time we spend entering in our date of birth for Mature-rated game trailers (and then reentering it, because it never seems to keep) may diminish.Giant Bombhas gotten its hands on a document that covers new rules for publishers that are said to be effective immediately. Not unlike trailers for R-rated films, “A trailer, demo, or video (of any length) for a Mature-rated game that has been deemed suitable for a general audience through the ESRB pre-clearance process will not require an age-gate....

The other free PS Plus games are Mortal Shell and LEGO DC Super-Villains for PS4 Rather than the normal full-gameGodfallexperience, this PS Plus freebie is anewly-whipped-upChallenger Editionthat “focuses on” three endgame-level modes called Lightbringer, Dreamstones, and the Ascended Tower of Trials. As Sony puts it, “you’ll be immediately equipped with a spread of deadly weapons and skill points, letting you team up with up to two other players in co-op,” and “Challenger Edition’s endgame co-op is compatible with all upgraded editions ofGodfalland supports cross-gen play....

Demo opp ends on March 10 Nintendo has let us know that the mech combat gameDaemon X Machinais still very much a work in progress. It’s slated for 2019 but could very well be pushed back, especially given the context that the development team is looking for direct player feedback from their recent public demo offering. Wait, a public demo? Yep, if you recall a few weeks back Nintendo unveiled during a Nintendo Direct presentation that aDaemon X Machinademo was live on the eShop for a limited time, and now thanks to a tweet from Nintendo UK we know exactly when that limit is up....

Better yet: this picture Bloodstained: Ritual of the Nightshould be a good fit for505 Games, and vice-versa. The publisher, known for repping titles likeBrothers: A Tale of Two Sons,Terraria, andAbzu, has secured worldwide publishing rights for Iga’s metroidvania game covering “all formats except mobile and tablets.” “Although we have started this project through Kickstarter, we wanted more people to play now that we are in full production,” said creator Koji Igarashi, shown above striking a heroic pose....

Eye-poppin’ deals! (Not really.) On June 26, 2025 Capcom will releaseResident Evil Revelations 2for PC in episodic format along with two editions (just to spice up the confusion level). On Steam, there’s “The Complete Season” for $24.99, and then a version just labeledResident Evil Revelations 2for $39.99. When you think of a “Complete” version you think you’d get more content… but the opposite is true in this situation. The $39....

Wii U and German wins out After nearly a month of play, speedrunners have figured out which version ofZelda: Breath of the Wildthey like best — German language on Wii U. This video from dragonbane shows that just likeTwilight Princess, the German version is preferred for speedruns as it’s slightly faster. You can see plainly in the video that the German intro ends quicker, followed by French, with English at the very tail end of the equation....

It’s finally leaving Japan early next year Would-be fans ofAnarchy Reignshave had to put up with their fair share of ups and downs as the specifics regarding the game’s release outside of Japan have been fuzzy. There’s been the option to import, sure, but the cost of doing so largely hasn’t seemed worth it. Finally, we have the real release dates from Sega. (Hopefully!) The ridiculous-looking brawler from Platinum Games will first be out in North America on January 8, followed by Europe on January 11....

If you are playing by the book and are making sure to always talk to all NPCs during your venture inElden RingShadow of Ertree, the Tarnished will be given the option to side with Needle Knight Leda or with Hornsent while at the Shadow Keep. A feat you can complete by interacting with their summoning signs. But what will siding with each of them cause? And is there a third option?...

Easy peasy If you can be inconvenienced by an extra email in your inbox, you can get a free game for the trouble. Or, if it’s not even an annoyance, you still get the free game. Loopholes! Kinda. Tacomais Fullbright’s sophomore effort; you may be familiar with the studio’s debut game,Gone Home. It’s an after-the-fact accounting of what happened aboard a space station after it was hit by a meteor. There’s a herding cats sense about it sometimes, as the game asks that you chase digital ghosts to learn everything about their final days on the station....

Weenie Roast Splatoon 2is finally out in the wild, andits hype levels are arguably greater nowthan ever before. Nintendo’s newfound knack for developing competitive games that have staying power, outside of staples likeSmash Bros.andMario Kart, is quite a cultural turnaround for the company. Part of that may be because competition isn’t the only worthwhile thingSplatoonhas to offer. The single player campaigns, and lore surrounding them, are enough to satisfy some on their own....
