Ghostbusters videogame trailer

We feared it would never come to pass but finally after many troubles and tribulations the Ghostbusters videogame is a reality! Alleluyah!

We’ll probably never get another movie (At least not with the original cast, but this will just have to do, and nicely it does too by the looks of it!)

Out of Order

Welcome to The Town

If so, Out Of Order should play like any other day in your life.

Otherwise, it’s an experience not to be missed.

If out of chaos comes order, what comes Out Of Order?

Don’t look back

dontlookback

Don’t look back is a free browser based (With download option) platformer from Kongregate games, based loosely on the myth of Orpheus who descended into hades to recover the soul of his deceased wife, however she would return with him as long as he didn’t look back, and if he did this she would fade away.

This is a mercifully short but fiendishly difficult game, you’ll die multiple times per screen as the old style unmerciful traps get you in the back when you least expect it, but with a bit of planning and twitch reflexes you’ll triumph in the end. Conquering hades is all in a day’s work.

Project Natal: No controller gaming

Check out this E3 video of microsoft’s revolutionary new control scheme for the Xbox - project Natal aims to replace controllers completely by optical recognition systems that track your body directly, without the need to use any controller at all!

The demo is impressive, and the possibilities are mind blowing, though it’s still hard to tell just how workable the system will be in reality, small delays could make certain games unworkable, and one has to wonder if they really expect gamers to fight against Chun Li and Ryu with their actual bodies. Are you able to do a high kick? I am, but I certainly can’t do a spinning tornado kick… will this mean more realistic martial arts games?

Space considerations are also a factor, the family in the video has a really big living room, the likes of which I’ve very rarely seen even in nice houses. Remember all the incidents of people hitting each other with the wii controller? I imagine this is going to be the same times two, with people kicking their TV in by mistake in a moment of passion.

One possibility that comes to mind for this technology is the use for easy inexpensive home motion capture, allowing people to become animators with no effort at all. This is potentially game changing for social applications if the tools are provided and marketed right.

The manipulator

You are a psychic freak in a world that doesn’t like you very much! You must use your powers to escape from a military base patrolled by heavily armed guards. You can control their minds or, if you’re feeling nasty, cause their heads to pop.

In a nutshell that’s the theme and plot of this simple platformer game with a twist from Virtanen games

The graphics are extremely simple, but it’s a fun game with unexpected depth (For example, after the first few levels you can read the guard’s minds and discover their personal secrets)

Left 4 dead 2 announced

A new cast of player characters and a focus on melee seems to be the leivmotiv of this new version from Valve of the highly popular zombie team shooter.

There have been some grumblings among the fans that this is too soon for a sequel and that it reeks of cash-in, but we’ll just have to wait and see. The opening cinematic looks sweet, as always.
