Posted 4/16/13 5:00 pm EST by Jason Cipriano in Interviews, PC, Previews, PS3, Xbox 360
Leave it to a film director to try to come up with some new ideas for video games. Josef Fares, best known for his work "Zozo" and other award-winning Swedish films, has teamed up with Starbreeze Studios, best known for their work on "The Darkness" and "The Chronicles of Riddick" (both of them) to collaborate on an all new title, "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons," an experiential, single-player story. Fares' cinematic background gives him a unique perspective on the craft of telling stories, making his first foray into gaming a bit unconventional.

'Injustice: Gods Among Us' Review
Posted 4/16/13 3:50 pm EST by Clint Mize in PS3, Reviews, Wii U, Xbox 360
At first sight "Injustice" seems to be cut from the same "MK" cloth, with fans remembering 2008's crossover brawl, "Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe." Although it was fun to imagine a fight between Sub-Zero and Wonder Woman, that game ultimately lost some bite with the watering down of the typical brutal and gory MK universe. This go around, NetherRealm Studios seems to forego any gimmicky cross promotion in favor for a competent brawler that can stand on it's own legs. Does it lack the punch of the previous DC fighter or is there enough here to make "Injustice: Gods Among Us" another arcade throwdown worthy of your investment?

Review: 'Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams' - Platforming With A Twist
Posted 4/16/13 2:32 pm EST by Charles Webb in PC, Reviews, Xbox 360
At the core of Black Forest Games' puzzle-platformer "Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams" is a clever concept: you play as both the "sweet" and "punk" Giana sisters, able to shift back and forth between different versions of the same world, each shift changing the enemies and some level details (the challenge is knowing when to shift, you see), all based around the usual gem hunt in order to progress to the boss level of the three worlds of "Twisted Dreams." Oh, and the Cute sister has a glide move allowing her to extend jumps and slow her descent while the Punk sister has a Sonic-style dash good for getting some extra verticality and busting through walls.
So why did I have so little fun hopping between worlds as "Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams" makes its Xbox LIVE debut?

Preview: Survive The Zombie Apocalypse (With Friends) In 'State of Decay'
Posted 4/15/13 3:55 pm EST by Charles Webb in Previews, Xbox 360
Undead Labs is billing their upcoming XBLA release "State of Decay" as a simulation, a perilous trek through the ever-familiar zombie apocalypse with multiple interconnected systems requiring the player to do more than just shoot their way to safety. Survivors will have to gather supplies, form alliances, manage their stamina and health, make sure disease doesn't wipe out their camp, and take on side missions to level up multiple playable characters. Even after five hours with "State of Decay," I'm not sure I fully scratched the simulation's surface, but I'll do my best to give you my impressions.
