Do you expect me to talk? No Mr. Bond, I expect a Goldfinger mission in 007 Legends

Posted on September 18, 2012 by John Scalzo

Activision has made a few dubious film choices for 007 Legends, their decades-spanning history of the James Bond franchise. Moonraker, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and Die Another Day may have their moments, but they’re not considered the best of Bond by a long shot.

Thankfully, Activision’s final pick is the best Bond film of all-time… Goldfinger! The Fort Knox caper will include appearances from Auric Goldfinger, Oddjob, and Pussy Galore along with the crotch laser and a naked painted lady. Do you expect me to talk? Because if you do, I’ll say woohoo!

007 Legends will be available for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on October 16 with a Wii U version scheduled for release in November.

Bad Piggies take flight in first gameplay trailer

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Andrew Rainnie

The green menaces from Rovio’s Angry Birds franchise are finally getting their own title, Bad Piggies. Described as “The Piggest Game Ever,” the publisher has launched a new trailer showing how the mechanics of the game work. While it still maintains the Angry Birds style, the game comes across as more of a mash-up of World of Goo and LittleBigPlanet. Players must construct vehicles for both land and air (pigs can fly, but cannot swim apparently) that will be able to navigate the topsy-turvy levels without killing the Piggies navigating inside.

bad Piggies is set for release on iOS, Mac and Android on September 27th, and soon after on Windows Phone, and PC.

Daily Scoop: September 17, 2012 – Borderlands 2 tonight!

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Nicole Kline

I am freaking out over how excited I am about Borderlands 2 coming out at midnight tonight. Please don’t expect me to be coherent for a few days. I’m going to be destroying everything I see in Pandora for at least the first 24 hours. I’m playing it on the PlayStation 3, which seems to be depressing some of my friends, but oh well. I’m doing this! I’m making it happen.

Interested in playing with my friends and me while we wreak havoc across the planet? Leave a comment here or tweet at us (@WarpZoned) and tell me why you think you’re worth it. The luckiest person will get an invite to my PSN friends list and can see how pathetic my trophy collection really is.

Amazon’s got a few deals today:

Sadly, this Monday brings us only two t-shirts! (more…)

BioWare officially announces Dragon Age III: Inquisition

Posted on September 17, 2012 by John Scalzo

A third game in the Dragon Age series has been an open secret for more than a year now. But today, Electronic Arts and BioWare are ready to officially announce Dragon Age III: Inquisition.

Scheduled for release in late 2013 on unspecified platforms, BioWare plans to use DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine as the foundation for a brand new Dragon Age experience:

“The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age III: Inquisition for almost two years now,” said Aaryn Flynn, General Manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. “We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age III: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral.”

While Dragon Age III is deep in development, BioWare doesn’t plan to reveal more details until its “ready for the prime time.”

New Releases: Borderlands 2, Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Set, F1 2012, More

Posted on September 16, 2012 by John Scalzo

The Fall gaming rush has definitely arrived as one of this season’s most anticipated releases, Borderlands 2 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360), will be available in stores this week. If wacky adventures on Pandora in search of loot aren’t your thing, then perhaps you’d prefer to punch it out with your friends thanks to the massive Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set (PS3, Xbox 360).

If neither of these options are to your liking, there’s always the open wheel racing thrills of F1 2012 (PS3, Xbox 360) and several other new releases that can be found after the break. (more…)

Steam community approves first ten Greenlight games

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Valve has announced the first ten titles that have been approved for Steam Greenlight. Greenlight is a new Valve initiative, meant to utilize the community to select the next upcoming games to be released on their platform, Steam. These first titles will be released in the coming months, depending on their completion dates (as they are all at different levels currently).

The ten games are:

  • Black Mesa
  • Cry of Fear
  • Dream
  • Heroes & Generals
  • Kenshi
  • McPixel
  • No More Room in Hell
  • Project Zomboid
  • Routine
  • Towns

Valve business developer Anna Sweet said, “The Steam community rallied around these titles and made them the clear choice for the first set of titles to launch out of Greenlight. Since launch, hundreds of titles have been submitted, with more coming in every day. We expect to be announcing more titles coming to Steam via Greenlight soon.”

For more information on the games, check out the Greenlight site.

Fuse (formerly known as Overstrike) set for March 2013 release

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Insomniac Games is working with EA on its first multiplatform release. Originally known as Overstrike, it’s now called Fuse. The official announcement trailer can be seen above, and it’s a bit different from the E3 2011 trailer.

While the Insomniac feel is still there – the crazy weapons, the giant enemies – there’s definitely a change in tone between those two trailers. Gone is the cartoony fun we know from Ratchet and Clank. There’s more of a Resistance feel happening here, but even that seems a bit stripped down. Hopefully teaming up with EA and going multiplatform isn’t choking the creativity out of this much-beloved studio.
