Worms Revolution Confirmed For E3

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Team 17’s next Worms title, Worms Revolution, will be shown at this year’s E3 the developer confirmed today. Revolution will also bring some major upgrades in terms of physics with new hazards and dynamic water physics.

This means that water won’t just appear as a death trap at the bottom of the map during matches. Instead, there may be pools of water located within the map. Say you destroy the terrain surrounding it, the water will flood deforming the terrain. New types of obstacles include clouds of toxic gas and new ways to cause fiery destruction.

Worms Revolution will be released during the 3rd quarter of 2012 on Windows PC and unannounced consoles.

Far Cry 3 left a pretty big impression on me when I saw it running at last year’s Ubisoft Press Conference at E3. It looks like everyone will be able to get their hands on the game later this summer on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

The multiplayer beta allows up to 16 players to compete in several modes including Deathmatch and the Firestorm mode, a mode based around the game’s fire physics. Ubisoft promises six playable classes will be available in the beta along with dozens of weapons.

There are multiple ways for you to enter the beta. Check them out after the jump.Read More

Hitler’s Dog to play a major role in Iron Front

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Daniel Shannon

Deep Silver has just announced a novel multiplayer mode for X1 Software/AWAR’s upcoming WW2 tactical shooter Iron Front: Liberation 1944. The new mode, named “Assassinate the Blondie,” tasks two Soviet players with the job of killing Blondi, Hitler’s ever loyal German Shepherd. Two German players will naturally have to protect their Führer’s beloved pet. Doubtlessly, Blondi’s premature death would demoralize Hitler, and the repercussions would negatively affect the German war effort.

It is unclear right now what Blondi will be doing. Will one of Hitler’s confidants be walking Blondi? Will Blondi be unleashed and aimlessly wandering about the map? Will someone be able to play as Blondi? As a fan of the Escort/Assassination mode from Team Fortress Classic, I’m hoping that the later is the case. Read on for some pictures from this mode.Read More

So there is this new turn based RPG coming exclusivly to the PSN Rainbow Moon, the game looks akin to Final Fantasy Tactics. So this could be very interesting, a turn based RPG with an epic story and world for me to discover?

Rainbow Moon releases in Summer of 2012. So should get to go into agonising detail on my feelings for the game when it releases. Check out a choice screenshot (See what I mean this shows promise^-^).Read More
