Earth Defense Force 2025 Review: Like A Caterpillar Transforming Into A Butterfly
Earth Defense Force 2017 didn’t win any awards when it was released in 2007. The low-budget shooter from developer Sandlot and small-time publisher D3 cultivated a cult following over the next few years, culminating in the release of a sequel/remake, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, in 2011. But Insect Armageddon was developed by an American team, Vicious Cycle, and fans clamored for the distinctly Japanese flavor of the original developers. Thankfully, D3 and Sandlot have obliged with Earth Defense Force 2025, another game that won’t win any awards, but is satisfying all the same. (more…)

XBL Store Today: Strider, Earth Defense Force 2025, The Lego Movie, Rayman Legends
Five games were added to the Xbox Live Game Store today, though one of them appeared on both the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One.
The game doing double duty is Capcom’s reboot of Strider. The side-scrolling ninja game is available in both current-gen and next-gen versions, though both carry the same $14.99 price tag.
Also available this week is Earth Defense Force 2025, D3 Publisher’s latest sequel to the cult favorite Earth Defense Force 2017 and Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Original developer Sandlot is back for this entry, which brings an online campaign, and a lot of new bugs, to the series. Finally this week, the Xbox 360 adaptation of The Lego Movie and an Xbox One port of Rayman Legends are new to the store.
More details about all of these games can be found after the break. (more…)

PS Store Today: Strider, EDF 2025, Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry, a lot more
Sony has just uploaded another big update for the PlayStation Store and while it doesn’t have something as tantalizing as the TitanFall open beta, it’s still chock full of impressive downloads. But speaking of betas, an open beta for the PS4 edition of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was included in today’s update.
As for this week’s new games, current-gen and next-gen gamers will be able to download a rebooted version of Capcom’s beloved side-scroller Strider, which was developed by the now Amazon-owned Double Helix. PS3 and PS4 owners will also get a chance to try out Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry, a standalone expansion to Assassin’s Creed IV that doesn’t require players to own its parent game. In addition to Freedom Cry, Ubisoft released a PS4 edition of Rayman Legends.
Finally, the PS2 Classics section is now home to Neo Contra, an odd entry in Konami’s Contra franchise, but one worth checking out all the same.
More information on all of these titles (and a few others) can be found after the break. A complete rundown of this week’s new game add-ons can be found at PlayStation Blog. (more…)

New Releases: Donkey Kong Country: Tropcial Freeze, EDF 2025, NASCAR 14, More
While Mario and Sonic have already conquered the Winter Olympics, Nintendo is ready to send another one of its beloved characters out into the snow. The normally jungle-bound Donkey Kong will get to play in the powder this week with the release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropcial Freeze for the Wii U. Better pack your mittens, big guy.
A jungle of a different kind will need to be saved in D3 Publisher’s Earth Defense Force 2025. The big bugs are back and the Earth Defense Force must once again band together to save the urban jungle that is Tokyo. You can get it on the PS3 or the Xbox 360.
This week’s final new release is NASCAR 14 for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The franchise has switched publishers from Activision to Deep Silver, but developer Eutechnyx is once again responsible for development on the racing simulation.
Finally, a pair of ports have found new homes this week. Ubisoft’s highly acclaimed Rayman Legends makes a next-generation leap to the PS4 and Xbox One. Meanwhile, WB’s Lego Marvel Super Heroes downgrades to the DS. Games for everybody!

Meet the Fencer in the latest Earth Defense Force 2025 trailer
As they say, the only good bug is a dead bug. And the absolute best way to eradicate an alien species of gigantic creepy crawlies in Earth Defense Force 2025 is with the Fencer, the EDF’s “heavy” class. The Lancer is decked out in full-body armor and he carries a shield and a heavy-duty weapon like a gatling gun or a laser cannon. You can watch as the Fencer shreds overgrown ants and nasty spiders in the brand new EDF 2025 trailer above
The bugs don’t stand a chance.
Earth Defense Force 2025 will be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in February.

D3 Publisher is working on a new Earth Defense Force game for PS4
The upcoming Earth Defense Force 2025 will invade America in February 2014, so there will be plenty of giant insects to smash in your future. But you better stock up on bug spray as D3 Publisher plans to release an entirely new Earth Defense Force game exclusively for the PS4. When D3 says “entirely new,” they mean it… Earth Defense Force PS4 is not based on Earth Defense Force 2025.
But everything else about it (including a release date or if EDF 2025 developer Sandlot is working on it) is still a complete mystery.
