The Midwest snows may have melted away, but the weather forecast in Hades is looking a wee bit chilly today.
That’s right – the long-delayed Crush! Frag! Destroy! podcast is finally about to be recorded! There’s just one problem, though… We need a name!
Yes, we have yet to decide on a proper name for this beast and we’re taking suggestions from you, our (potential) listeners. So drop us a comment below with your suggestions and make them good (FYI: FragCast and CrushCast are both already existing shows elsewhere, plus they’re not terribly creative). Give us your best, your weirdest, your most inventive!
Also, if you have any comments, questions or other contributions for us, leave us a comment below, drop us a Twitter message (@CrushFragDstroy) or post on the Facebook page and we’ll try to work them into the show.
Hit the jump for a quick rundown of what we’re going to be covering on our inaugural broadcast.
While the industry bigwigs are off playing at the 2010 Game Developers Conference, hobnobbing and rubbing elbows with one another, having fun at their fancy parties and drinking copious amounts of alcohol, for us lowly peons in the independent games press it’s just another Friday night.
And you know what that means, right? Weekend Warriors time!
I’ve been sucked into the demo for Chime on XBLA pretty hard, which I’m sure I’ll be purchasing when I have a couple hundred more points to spare. Also, I’m considering poopsocking the first two Yakuza games in preparation for Yakuza 3, but still have yet to decide for sure on that one. Beyond that, I may be playing the notoriously hard-to-start-up “Podcast Recording” game tomorrow as well as the “Finish Writing Reviews and Previews” game – one that I haven’t picked up in far too long.
Are you a fan of real world cars and locations but always thought standard racing games were a bit… dull?
Do you like the power-ups and over-the-top nature of kart racers but can’t get behind the cartoony style?
Looks like Activision’s Blur might be to your liking, then. And what luck! – CFD! is giving away codes for the recently started Xbox 360 multiplayer beta!
Ready to get your Blur on? Race past the jump for details…
More details have dropped like a big Dookie bomb on Green Day: Rock Band – the first we’ve heard since the game’s announcement at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards – including a release date.
Besides the video above and screenshots below, we now know that the game will be going Kerplunk onto shelves worldwide on June 8th, 2010 in two different formats. Want some Warning of what to expect? Well then don’t be a Nimrod and hit the jump for details.
The second piece of this week’s Rock Band related news is arguably the most awesome (and most bizarre) of them all. Brace yourself, kids. It’s going to get messy in here.
Not only is next week’s Rock Band DLC bundle a 4-pack of tracks from the iconoclastic electro-pop diva, Lady GaGa, but there will also be a extra single release of one of her biggest hits, as covered by South Park, Colorado’s own Eric Cartman.
Hit the jump for details while you let that all sink in.
Who needs press releases when you have Facebook? That’s the location where Harmonix decided to confirm – in between your friends’ horoscopes and the ten-thousand Farmville updates they’ve posted today alone – that Rock Band 3 is indeed a thing which is real, and bound for retail in the 2010 holiday season.
Okay, who didn’t see this one coming? Show of hands?
Let’s be honest here; with such a fertile ground of classic adventure gaming available to mine it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that the other Monkey Island titles would be getting the same revamp love as last year’s The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. And that’s just what LucasArts announced this evening!
Indeed, ye scurvy bilge rats! Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge sets sail this summer for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iPhone/iPod Touch, PC and probably every other platform in the known universe if you just give them time enough. And it’s not just the same old facelift (and… earlift? what would a re-orchestrated soundtrack count as?) that the first release got (though it does have all of those same features again).
It’s been a while since I’ve cried tears of pure joy. Today is one of those rare days.
NBC and Bigpoint have unveiled plans to release an in-browser Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game based on one of the best television shows ever, Battlestar Galactica.
It’s official. Arc is out – Move is in. PlayStation Move, that is.
Touting 1:1 motion sensing and a latency of “only one frame”, Sony rolled out their long awaited motion controller platform at GDC 2010. Hit the jump for details from the press conference.
What would a daring super-spy be without his daring super-spy gadgets and weapons? And what would an RPG be without loot and gear? The answer to both questions: probably dead in the water.
It’s a darn good thing that Alpha Protocol is packed full of gizmos, guns and other goodies then. Take a look at the newest developer diary from Obsidian and Sega for a peek inside the toybox.
Alpha Protocol is on track for a June 1st, 2010 release.
