Stacking DLC coming early next month

Stacking is one of our favorite digital titles to have kicked off 2011, so we’re understandably delighted to learn that the game will be getting a DLC add-on entitled The Lost Hobo King. This episode sees Charlie helping his artistically-inclined hobo friend Levi and his Uncle Rufus find the fragmented pieces of the lost crown so that Rufus may ascend to the throne of Hobo. The all new environment and story come with new challenges, hi-jinks, over fifteen new dolls, and trophies/achievements. No word on pricing or specific dating, but the pack will come to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in early April.

That’s pretty soon, so if you haven’t checked out Stacking yet, be sure to get the demo or read our review linked above.

PixelJunk Shooter 2 Review: Delve Deeper with this Sequel

PixelJunk Shooter 2 is the latest downloadable PlayStation Network game from Q-Games. This multidirectional shooter is a sequel to the first game, which was one of my favorites of 2009. Shooter 2 was promising, touting new game mechanics and a continuation of the simple storyline they’d started in the first game. But could it live up to the long wait, and fill the shoes as the first official PixelJunk sequel? (more…)

Prey 2 purported to be a mash-up of lots of popular games

On the heels of the live action Prey 2 trailer, UK magazine Game Reactor has even more details for us. According to MTV’s Multiplayer Blog, the game will feature parkour like Mirror’s Edge, environmental scope akin to Assassin’s Creed 2, combat similar to Killzone, a loot system kindred to Borderlands, and thankfully that’s all they said in the article, because I’m out of synonyms for “like” at this point. Oh, and a Human Head Studios producer said, “If the first ‘Prey‘ was the Luke Skywalker version of the story, ‘Prey 2‘ is Boba Fett’s story.”

So we’ve got parkour in a giant environment with bad-ass combat and loot systems, and we’re also going to be switching gears from the equivalent of the whiny farmer to the bounty hunter? It sounds too good to be true, until you consider they’re canning any multiplayer in favor of focusing everything on a “more robust single-player campaign.” The idea there is they don’t want to compete with all the other great multiplayer games out there – but can they compete with the single-player campaigns? With this intense amount of video game culture all tossed together like the Prince rolling up a giant Katamari ball, it’s either going to be a beautiful star in the sky or a complete disaster.

MotorStorm Apocalypse indefinitely delayed

After similar delays in Japan and Europe, Sony has indefinitely delayed the April 12th release of MotorStorm Apocalypse in North America. No new release date was announced, but Sony has promised to keep us posted.

The game’s delay appears to be directly tied to the recent earthquake in Japan, which has affected the release dates of other games as well.

Raiden lights up this Mortal Kombat gameplay trailer

NetherRealm Studios has released over a dozen videos for Mortal Kombat since announcing the game at last year’s E3 expo, but the classic carnage never seems to get old.

Mass Effect 2 DLC makes an “Arrival” on March 29

Commander Shepard just recently made an arrival on the PS3, but now the Normandy has one last voyage to embark on, completing this fantastic second installment of Shepard’s conquests. BioWare recently announced “Arrival,” the third and final DLC pack for Mass Effect 2.

“Arrival” presents Shepard with information regarding an imminent Reaper invasion, an event which has been in the cards since Mass Effect’s start. Returning to the series is fan-favorite Admiral Hackett, who made a prominent appearance in the first Mass Effect game, and is voiced by sci-fi actor Lance Henriksen.

As previously noted, “Arrival” will do just that on March 29th, and will be available for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 for $7.00/560 Microsoft Points. God, I can’t wait for Mass Effect 3.
