Left 4 Dead is like the best haunted house you’ve ever been to and one that you can go back to time after time with new twists and turns. The AI Director — Valve’s own behind-closed-doors game puppeteer — takes center stage and makes for a terrifying good time with friends who you’ll need to help up, heal up, and not shoot. After all, friendly fire (in the upper difficulty levels, anyway) is lethal. Continue reading »
If you remember, a while back we reopened the chapter of Bill Tiller’s latest point-and-click adventure game “A Vampyre Story”. Well time has passed, again, and we’ve now come to the time where you can download the demo and try it for yourself. Of course if you like the demo and want to purchase the retail game, today is the official release of “A Vampyre Story
“A Vampyre Story is a point & click adventure for PC that tells the tale of the beautiful, gifted opera singer Mona De Lafitte, whose life is brought to an abrupt end by the vampire baron, Shrowdy Von Kiefer. Trapped in Draxsylvania Castle and doomed to a miserable existence as a creature of the night, Mona decides to run away to fulfil her dream of singing at the Paris Opera.”

Back in the day, things were simple. We’d pop into our computer lab and play some Half-Life deathmatch. LAN-status (and a few privileged folk probably played it online, too). The 1998 game has turned 10 this week and Valve is discounting the game to 98 cents until tomorrow.
It’s cheap enough to buy a few copies…no need for the “3333-33333-3333″ dummy key.

So we’ve come to this: slow-down time. Don’t get us wrong, there’s still some choice game in this week’s list, but not as steamy hot as recent weeks prior.
Kind of looking forward to MK vs. DC Universe, Left 4 Dead (360 version Jeremy!), and mildly interested in Tomb Raider: Underworld. But still, we wonder how good they are when they’ve yet to show up on the Metacritic…

Exactly twelve years after Street Fighter III was released in February of 1997, Street Fighter IV will be making it’s long awaited debut in February of 2009. We’ve all seen the screenshots, and one of our very own, Carlos Macias, went to the only US embargoed Street Fighter IV cabinet based in good ole California. So are we excited, hell yeah. After all the Street Fighter iterations, we deserve a part IV.
In the glut that is this year’s biggest releases, Fallout 3 will stand out. It’s an open-world RPG throwing in shooter elements in a huge setting that pits you on a search to the deepest reaches to find your father. From the moment you break out of Vault 101 into the scorching, sun-bathed wasteland you know you’re in for a treat. Continue reading »
EA has told Gamecyte that the extra content planned for Mirror’s Edge will come to both Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles — once believed to be PS3 exclusive — around the time the PC version ships in January next year.
We thought it’d be only fair that PS3 got this one since the Xbox 360 will be getting its share of exclusive content with Fallout 3, Tomb Raider, and GTA IV. Oh, well…can’t win them all, err, any.
In the meantime, check out our review of Mirror’s Edge.

While the list of AAA games this week seems a little light, publishers are still releasing some great titles — most away from the FPS norm. Wii gamers get the “for the hardcore” Animal Crossing: City Folk and Tales of Symphonia remake.
Mirror’s Edge and CoD: World at War are missing reviews, but from what we’ve seen they should be a safe buy. PC gets the bound-to-be-huge Wrath of the Lich King expansion and Banjo is back on the 360! Our pick? My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr, of course. *cough, cough*
