Welcome to another edition of Dtoid's Friday Night Fights! It's been just over a year now that we learned Bulletstorm 2 was in the initial stages of development before Epic moved People Can Fly onto other projects. And every ... more
The Sacred series is never going to give Diablo a run for its money, but it's always had its own unique charm. It's a fairly standard dungeon crawler with its own element of silly humor, and that's been enough to earn it a pl... more
It's the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon trailer that had to happen. Creative director Dean Evans chats with the actor behind protagonist Sergeant Rex Colt, Michael Biehn of Aliens and The Terminator. Simple idea, but masterful exec... more
Journey was the little game that could -- the indie David that took on the triple-A blockbuster Goliaths of the gaming world...and won. It was critically acclaimed, won a plethora of awards, and perhaps most importa... more
Spiders released an appropriately titled "overview trailer" for its upcoming sci-fi action-RPG, Mars: War Logs, which is also appropriately titled: there’s a war, it takes place on Mars, and you’ll be shooting, e... more
A departure from the typical installments in the role-playing Sacred series, Sacred Citadel goes after the beat'-em-up crowd as its own separate thing. This pleases me greatly, having failed to ever get into t... more
It's always been difficult to give a one-sentence synopsis for Terraria. When it was released on PC in 2011, the first description that many gave was that it's "like a two-dimensional Minecraft," but that doesn't really do Te... more
Since Sony doesn't have a set time when they update the PlayStation Network -- a stark contrast to pretty much all of their competitors -- a lot of us were anxiously waiting for them to eventually update the PSN, and get our ... more
The awesome gang at Corridor Digital made quite the appropriate live-action take on Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. And yeah, they used Power Glove's music here too. So good. more
I want Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon all over my body. Everything behind the game is amazing, even the box art. Artist James White is the man responsible for artwork you've seen, and he's shared some of the various concepts he crea... more
There's a big sale on every Grand Theft Auto title available through the PlayStation Network today to get people pumped for Grand Theft Auto V. Every title with the exception of the first three games from the PlayStation One... more
Today, Capcom lifted the curtain on the two extra games for Capcom Arcade Cabinet, which will be free for folks who own the 15-game compilation. The titles are 1943 Kai, the laser-filled update of shoot-'em-up 1943,... more
After a couple of lackluster weeks of new releases, we're spoiled for choice this week. A plethora of games drop, begging for your attention. Time to blow more money. At the top of the list, for me, is the latest piece of Di... more
Remember the '90s? Before our eyes ever (accidentally) set upon Disney hentai and before Mickey Mouse got thrown into a bunch of lame platformers? We had Castle of Illusion and it was enough to get me giddy to visit my grand... more
PlayStation Network will be down for routine maintenance starting at 8:00AM PST today. The service is expected to be down until 8:00PM PST tonight. During this downtime, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and account ma... more
Now that Magrunner: Dark Pulse has a full website, developer 3 AM Games has unleashed a handful of new screenshots. The one above immediately caught me eye; for the sake of context, this is a first-person puzzler set in "a&nb...; more
The Sacred series is never going to give Diablo a run for its money, but it's always had its own unique charm. It's a fairly standard dungeon crawler with its own element of silly humor, and that's been enough to earn it a pl... more
In popular Mexican culture, the luchador (masked wrestler) isn't just an athlete, he's a cultural icon. El Santo is probably the most power example of the luchador concept's hold on Mexico. Santo started professiona... more
For the most part, I dig Bomberman-likes. Even though they only come once or twice a year these days, there's nothing quite like powering up a party game and blowing up friends for a few hours. Dollar Dash is very much a Bomb... more
It's been a couple years since Zen Studios first took on the Marvel license and subsequently released expertly crafted tables centered around the biggest characters and story arcs in the comic book giant's vast library. Each ... more
Last year I kicked off a project where I had every intention of going through my entire game collection, from the 8-bit days through now, to find how many instances of the same game popped up in various game collection releas... more
Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage was a great game, at least if you liked the Dynasty Warriors series and had an affection for the punch-happy manga upon which it was based. Kenshiro's post-apocalyptic wanderings worked rema... more
Prior to playing DJMAX Technika Tune for this review, I could count the number of times I had listened to K-Pop music on one hand, one of those being PSY's "Gangnam Style." To some, that would make me only slightly ... more
Within my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality joint. more
So… have you ever wanted to be a cardboard shark hellbent on taking down “the man” and all his dirty, environment-destroying machines? Yeah it’s not something I ever really thought about eit... more
[This review contains some minor spoilers from earlier episodes.] It's over, then. The Walking Dead was a harrowing, turbulent, tragic journey that took seven months to play out, and ended with a couple hours of extreme viole... more
Monkey Ball hasn't done much to change up its tried-and-true formula in the past decade, and tends to play things fairly close to the chest. You're a monkey, you're in a ball, and you have to roll around to collect bananas. F... more
First drop whatever you're doing and watch this trailer before reading anything else. Okay, so yeah. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is just ridiculous. I don't want to get into too much specifics as there's gameplay video out there... more
The abrupt and unexpected posting of art from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was unsettling last week. Aside from the uncanny caricatures themselves, there came a flood of remembrance; for example, that Michael Bay... more
One of my favorite parts about Mexican cuisine is its cohesiveness. It's a property found in all my favorite types of foods: Italian, Chinese, etc. You take a swath of semi-disparate elements, tie them together with a sauce, ... more
Remember music games? Yeah, those were fun. With the genre's better (or at least its mainstream) days behind, I'm always interested to see in what weird and unique ways it will pop back up. Enter KickBeat, from the house that... more
CastleStorm is definitely not a game that's easy to draw a frame of reference for. One part Jenga, and one part tower defense, this mash up certainly draws from opposite genres to get its own formula going. Once it's off though, its may surprise with just how tasking, and fun, it can be. more
When I read that Ratchet & Clank would gain a traditional third-person entry later this year, I pooped the bed. I literally pooped the bed and you should never poop in the bed. But, after playing the game, I deeply regret... more
Since the mid-'90s, I've been unable to look at the common garden worm without wondering "How many kills does it have?" or "Does it have a shotgun?" I blame Team17 for this entirely; their military-minded, wriggly warriors ma... more
So it seems that Call of Juarez's brief stint in the modern era is over with. Goodbye and good riddance, I say. Returning to the old west setting of its series heritage, Call of Juarez: The Gunslinger aims to bring an arcade flair all its own. Does it actually work, though? more
At the Sega Booth during PAX Prime 2012, I was able to get a quick demo preview of The Cave, an upcoming puzzle platformer coming to both consoles and PC by Ron Gilbert and Double Fine. From first impressions, I immediately a... more
Harold is 2D platform and race game where the player controls the environment, not the character. You are a straight-A student in a guardian angel school. A lazy bully, you've never had to work hard. But when your final exam... more
Like Allistair back at E3, Monolith Productions's Guardians of Middle-earth has gotten me interested in the MOBA scene finally. Personally, I've avoided games like DOTA 2, and League of Legends as what I usually see or hear ... more
You can never have too much Ratchet & Clank. The lively Lombax and rascally robot are lacing up their hover boots for yet another outing, this time in the form of a second downloadable PlayStation Network title, Ratchet &... more
For those not familiar, A Game of Dwarves is a PC strategy game built in the same vein as Dungeon Keeper, taking more than a few pages from the classic strategy-based god games of the 1990s, with helpings of Sim City and Mine... more
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 were the bomb. Hard to believe the former only came out in 1999. Unfortunately, the series quickly spiraled away from being the bomb and, in more recent years, toward being ... more
Quantum Conundrum is a wonderful upcoming puzzle platformer from creative director Kim Swift. Her past work includes Portal, and while the game has some influences from Valve's little puzzler, Quantum Conundrum takes things ... more
First drop whatever you're doing and watch this trailer before reading anything else. Okay, so yeah. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is just ridiculous. I don't want to get into too much specifics as there's gameplay video out there... more
How many of you are old enough to remember Flashback? The Prince of Persia-like game was originally released for the Amiga, then later brought to the PC, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and several other platforms. Evidently t... more
God Mode is a third-person shooter that has you playing as a descendant of a god that has to survive the Maze of Hades. The game is being developed by Saber Interactive and Old School Games, and it's getting published by the... more
Black Rock Shooter The Game is making its way outside of Japan. The PlayStation Portable title will hit PlayStation Network on April 23 in the US, and April 24 in Europe. Sadly select countries like Canada, Mexico and more w... more
Dragon Fantasy II is a wonderful retro homage to the glory days of SNES role-playing games. We already know it's heading exclusively to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita soon, but what about the first game? Well I spok... more
Guardians of Middle-earth just got some downloadable content today in the form of a new survival mode. Up to five players can work together to fight wave after wave of increasingly harder enemies. Yup, sounds like a horde mo... more
Focus Home Entertainment announced a new game today called Obscure. It's being developed by Mighty Rocket Studios, and looks to be a fun 2.5D side-scrolling shooter. The game will feature four player co-op either locally or ... more
In addition to the launch of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for the PlayStation 3 and Vita (cross-buy for PS3), another franchise title is coming out today on the PSN: Bentley's Hackpack. It's priced at $2.99, and will also be ... more
Muramasa: The Demon Blade is still one of the best Wii games available, and it's coming to the PlayStation Vita in Japan on March 28th. This new trailer shows off the beautiful new visuals, and gives you a general outline of... more
PlayStation Plus members are getting both Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 for free this week. Yes, both games! The God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta has also opened up to all Plus members as of today. Additionally, the "Rece... more
Lots of nice updates for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita owners today! First up, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is now available for the Vita. A small team spent 10 months on porting the game, and shares the same featu... more
PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting Anomaly: Warzone Earth for free this week! It's described as a action strategy tower offense game, which is kind of hard to imagine so good thing there's a trailer. Actually, even bas... more
To coincide with the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, WB Games and Monolith have added some new faces to its Tolkien-centric MOBA. Both Bilbo Baggins and Bert the Troll are available now as playable Gu... more
If you've been eagerly awaiting Monolith's upcoming MOBA-inspired Guardians of Middle-earth, then you'll be happy to know the game will be available on PSN on Tuesday this week, with its XBLA debut on Wednesday. The matching... more
