With its creepy atmosphere, intense music and edgy game play this flash game is sure to ensure pleasure. Dead Frontier is a top down shooter similar to the old GTA style of game play. First you choose your difficulty and in making that decision you will determine what weapons you start off with and of course how difficult the game is.Your objective is to make to the extraction point where supposedly a chopper is waiting for you to whisk you to safety. Upon hearing this you and two of your NPC buddies start your journey to that point. Along the way you will encounter numerous bad guys ranging from floor crawling zombies to flying birds that just want to eat your eyes.
Mike Stemmle is a gaming industry vet. After graduating from Stanford Mike spent a number of years at LucasArts working on such titles as Star Wars Battlefront II, Afterlife and Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Stemmle left LucasArts to join Telltale games and is the designer for Episode 3 of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Recently he took some time to talk to GamePro about "Baddest of the Bands", set to release on PC and Wii this Monday.
X³: Terran Conflict is a brand new, stand-alone game set in the universe of X³. It is the culmination of the X trilogy and the vast regions of spaced are explored in this title in a grand finale that takes us all the way across the galaxy to Earth. Gamers can take on the roles of different characters in the X universe, or of a Terran military pilot, and experience a multitude of stories in the largest X universe ever featured. While this sounds like a never ending game some, if not most, of the plot lines are not that enthralling thus making your decision on what to do limited. Take an RTS and add a complex system of menus on top of more menus and you sum up X³: Terran Conflict. This is a space shooter flight sim strategy game. Yes, it is a robust description but there is a lot in this game.
If you've been looking for a "Behind the Music/The Office" style look at Strong Bad's latest episode of his cool game from attractive people (and why wouldn't you be), check out the above video. The hilarious third episode moves from the political satire of episode two, into the ripe for parody world of rock and roll. Set to release sometime this month, Episode 3 "Baddest of the Bands", sees Strong Bad let down his hair and jam. Actually, in this episode he's more David-Silver-booking-acts-for-the-Peach-Pit-After-Dark than Eric Clapton but you'll enjoy it anyway.
Look for the review on its yet to be determined release date. An interview with Baddest of the Bands designer Mike Stemmle will be posted Thursday.
Autumn of Arcade - GPArcade's AofA marches on. Still haven't posted a comment yet? What are you waiting for?!? Its the only way you can win one of three 1600MS point cards I'm giving away this week.
What would you say if I told you, you could play an online MMOFPS (massively- multiplayer online first person shooter) for free! Well now you can, Combat Arms is a free online MMOFPS brought to you by NEXON. You're basically playing a clone of Counter Strike with added features such as customizable weapons and outfits. The main focus for this is to get you into clans. It's beneficial to your survival and to your rank to work as a team and form a clan to work with. This feature actually works well if you get a group of guys together to play. But playing solo isn't so bad either. Just because you can't find any friends to play with doesn't mean you will get owned on a daily basis in this title. You will have to work your ass off in order to get higher up in the ranks and such but hey imagine how good of a sniper you will be after all that playing.
Imagine if someone revamped the way you played Pac-Man. Now imagine that this game used the exact same premise that Pac-Man used but changed up a lot of the basics. No grid, no standardized pellets but you move about eating things while trying not to be eaten yourself. This is the premise of Eat'em Robots. Your goal is to pick up batteries while not being touched by evil robots and collecting a blue battery will enable you to eat the robots for a short amount of time. Sound familiar? Its essentialy Pac-Man, in robot form.
The Strong Bad video game quintuplegy got off with a Coach Z starter gun bang last month with the very excellent first episode, Homestar Ruiner. Of course the problem with a strong start are high, sometimes unrealistic, expectations which are never easy to meet once the new game smell of the original has worn off. It's a problem seen not just in games but in other mediums as well. You know you never looked at Neo, Trinity and Morpheus the same after the first Matrix movie and chances are if you ever bumped into George Lucas, you'd ask him if he lost his mind after the first three Star Wars films.
But judging from the second episode of "Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People," the creative team from Homestar Runner won't suffer from a sophomore slump. In fact this episode, Strong Badia the Free, is even better than the first with a stronger storyline, cleaner dialogue and even more great one-liners.
The second episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Strong Badia the Free, will be out Monday. This newest release sells for $10 per episode on the Wii. If you're a PC gamer you'll cough up $8.95 an episode or $34.95 for the entire 5 episode set.
I've been playing the game for the past two weeks and so far its even better than the first. Look for the complete review on Monday. In the meantime, if you need to get your Strong Bad jones on, check out this teaser trailer.
Old school gamers have a chance to relive their early gaming moments beginning this week. A popular point and click adventure title from more than 15 years ago is making a comeback this month with AGD Interactive's release of the classic Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire. This remake of the 1990 Sierra title includes completely updated graphics, a revamped combat system, and best of all, it's free.
The developer seems to be targeting fans of the original but for those unfamiliar with the game; puzzles and multiple adventure elements are at the heart of this title.
Starting with a remake of the second game in the series seems like an odd decision, but the first Quest for Glory was already remade, albeit in 1992.
