Larry bringing sleaze to HD.
Starting in 2012, Replay Games will release HD remakes of the original Leisure Suit Larry games. 2012 also marks the series' 25th anniversary.
The Beta will start early next month
G4TV is reporting that Hi-Rez Studios has set a release date for the Beta of Tribes: Ascend, a free-to-play first person shooter. The beta will be released on November 4, 2011. In order to get into the beta, players can apply for a beta key on the Tribes: Ascend website, get a code from the game's Facebook and Twitter pages, or pre-order the game.
A more deliberately paced game with a strong narrative, Mafia II defies expectations.
Though pegged as another Mafioso-inspired sandbox game, Mafia II doesn’t have that much in common with its open world contemporaries. Rather than being inspired by Scarface and Goodfellas like GTA or Saints Row, Mafia II is more deliberately paced and more akin to The Sopranos or The Godfather, in which story and the lifestyle itself are front and center. There are no side quests or odd jobs to complete. Although there’s a big city, this is not an open world game. It's a linear action game with a strong narrative.
The zombie virus aspect of the game is explained. The game comes out later this fall for the PC, PSN and XBLA.
Proof that HD doesn't always make a difference.
Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube was a game that won over countless fans. The game brought the series into a new era with revolutionary gameplay while retaining the series' classic creepy feel. Over the years we've seen many different ports of the game, and this time we see what is likely to be the last version: Resident Evil 4 HD. It retains all of the features from the PS2 and Wii ports along with a graphical makeover which surprisingly is the weakest part of the package. But a great game is a great game, and this HD port is proof.
