Bayonetta demo announced

November 26th, 2009 posted in Games | No Comments »

This is a game I’ve been waiting for a while and finally some good news. A demo will be released on the third of september. Oh Boy!  Bayonetta was made by the same developer as Devil May Cry and is very similar in style and gameplay. DMC was a good title although the hard modes were pretty hard. From what’ve I heard on the grapevine, this game is even harder than DMC.

Like any anime title, the effects and moves are incredible and way over the top. You can see for yourself in some of the gameplay vids posted on youtube.

Visions of Aion

November 26th, 2009 posted in Games | No Comments »

 For a while now i’ve been seduced by the World of Aion, a korean MMO made by NCSoft. For a while now the forums have been flooded with negativity about Bots, RMT and the grind. The prophets of doom were already burning the carcass of Aion even before it had reached maturity. While it’s true that Aion has some problems and the endgame content is still limited, it’s a very decent game with lots of potential.

The recent weeks they began to ban the bots from the game and the latest patch solved one of the most critical bugs from the game. Those were the two biggest problems at the moment and I’m glad too see they are making progress on improving their game. Ofcourse it won’t be the end of the forum wars, the trolls and fanbois are still duking it out. I doubt that will ever change.

A new [hsvideo youtube="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PAM0wr7cZ8" title="video"] has been released and it shows some of the wonderful things that will be implemented in the future. A lot of new stuff which looks amazing to be honest, housing, mounts, beautiful graphics and very interesting looking sieges. It doesnt directly show any new endgame content but i’m sure that will come. If you have patience that is, it wont be next week.

The Island of Monkeys returns

June 2nd, 2009 posted in Games | No Comments »

Monkey Island finally returns with a new series of episodes and a remake of the classic and one of my favorite Point and Click adventures: The Secret of Monkey Island. From what I understand it will be released in the Xbox Live Arcade and this one is definately going on my christmas list.

The new series will be made in High Definition and include five episodes. Each episode will feature a new tale of the swashbuckling hero and the first episode will be available very soon!!. It should be available on the 7th of July. The episodes will be released on the PC and subsequently on the WII (Boo!). I’m still hoping for an X360 release but at least I can play this on my PC.

The Remake from Secret of Monkey Island will be in 2D like it was back in the good ol’ days. Still the graphics are being redone as well as the voice acting to give a more next-gen feel to it. Maybe they will do the other Episodes as well, or even Maniac Mansion.
