Dreamkiller is a new PC/Xbox 360 game currently in development by Mindware Studios, the creators of the popular first-person shooter Painkiller. Not ringing a bell? That’s understandable. When Painkiller was released five or so years ago, it mostly served as a very well produced throwback to classic shooting games like Quake and Doom. As you may imagine, the main concept behind Dreamkiller is very, very similar in that regard.
GameFly™ - Official SiteAs fans of the franchise will be happy to know, the popular World War II team-based shooter series shall soon return with Battlefield 1943. It’s with this installment that the Battlefield series will return to it’s roots for the first time in years. Thankfully, the franchise has experienced quite a few refinements since then, so if all goes well then Battlefield 1943 may be everything that Battlefield 1942 should have been.
GameFly™ - Official SiteEver since World Of Warcraft, almost no Massively Multiplayer Online game has come out that really turned people’s heads. Why? Because, while WoW may be, in essence, a very typical RPG, Blizzard’s massive budget and experienced development team allowed them to produce it all on a massive and epic scale. In other words, everything classic MMORPG’s have done in the past World Of Warcraft takes and does a little better. That’s why so few MMO’s have really made an impact since then. People are afraid to directly compete WoW. At this point, the only way to really break the barrier and make progress in the MMO genre is to produce a game that does everything World Of Warcraft has done and expand on that with some entirely new content and features that bring the player even deeper into the gaming experience. Unless I am wrong, there is a small chance that Heroes Of Telara could be a step in that direction.
GameFly™ - Official SiteNo, it’s not what you think. It’s not a recent cash-in attempt. Star Trek Online has been around for a long time, originally developed by Perpetual Entertainment for a total of four years, but handed over to Cryptic Studios when the company filed for bankruptcy. It’s just that after the amazing success of the new film, new-found interest in the online game has led the developing studio to divulge some information on the project. For the first time in years, Cryptic Studios has shared their progress on the game with the public. And here are the details.
GameFly™ - Official SiteShattered Memories actually happens to be a remake of the original Silent Hill that was released on the first Playstation. The idea is take what made the initial installment so unique and enhance it with today’s advanced technical proficiencies. This is a worthy goal, I say. Especially considering just how far the developer’s are taking this concept.
GameFly™ - Official SiteYes, yes, another Need For Speed. But trust me when I say that this one looks very different from the rest. A big part of that is undoubtedly due to the fact that the studio has dedicated themselves to making Shift a game that they believe will please both fans of realistic racers like Gran Turismo and fans of the more over-the-top racing franchises, like Burnout. That is no easy task, and it is very seldom that such a game greatly appealing to both crowds comes along.
GameFly™ - Official SiteMany have described the racing Split/Second as Black Rock Studios’ big follow-up to Pure; an intense off-road racer that proved to be one of the year 2008′s biggest driving games. Split/Second takes things to a bit of a more sophisticated level, as the gameplay revolves around the fact that you are participating in a reality TV show, the goal of which is to utterly defeat your opponents in cool and stylish ways. The draw of this is that there are, in fact, many different cool and stylish ways through which your opponents can be totally obliterated.
GameFly™ - Official SiteAs any PC gamer will tell you, Left 4 Dead was one of 2008′s biggest games. Consequentially, Left 4 Dead 2 was one of the biggest games at this year’s E3. What is it, exactly? Well, it’s essentially a multiplayer focused first-person shooter, action game, involving guns, chainsaws, and zombies. A lot of zombies!
GameFly™ - Official SiteMany gamers have not yet heard of the new action RPG in development called Torchlight. This may be due to the fact that it is being created by a very new and recently formed development studio called Runic Games. What you may not know, however, is that this new studio was founded by the co-creators of Diablo. These and other developers used to work for Flagship Studios before it collapsed, right in the middle of their second project; a highly anticipated roleplaying game that was at the time called Mythos. Now their back with a follow-up, one that impressed many of those who happened to play it at E3. It’s called Torchlight.
GameFly™ - Official SiteFor those that missed E3, Demon’s Souls is an action RPG developed by From Software, for the Playstation 3. Publisher Atlus is currently readying it to be released in the United States. The game has experienced critical acclaim both in Japan and here in America, as many game reviewers have taken it upon themselves to import copies of the game. The verdict? We’ll have to wait until the game is released to get a large scale reaction from the public, but from what we can tell from a distance it looks like it should turn out to be something that many American gamers have already been waiting for.
