Moonbot Studios announce 'Diggs Nightcrawler' for Holiday Release, Still Working on 'Golem'

Over on the ever-useful PlayStation Blog, Moonbot Studios has announced a “Holiday” release for “Diggs Nightcrawler,” the team’s fairy-tale-meets-film-noir detective game.
The catch: “Diggs” is a Wonderbook game, the strangely under-utilized peripheral Sony announced almost a year ago at E3. Since then, only one game has been released for it: J. K. Rowling’s “Book of Spells.”
Stranger Ranger: "Metro: Last Light" Survival Guides Detail Setting and Enemies

Most of my interest in 4A Games’ “Metro: Last Light” has been linked to the implosion of THQ last year and the series’ subsequent sale to Deep Silver, a company that’s been refreshingly frank about its motivations for buying the title and about its previous owners’ mismanagement.
Let’s not forget, though: “Metro: Last Light” will be out in less than a month. To better remind us, publisher Deep Silver’s last marketing push includes a series of so-called Ranger Survival Guides, detailing the post-apocalyptic society living in Moscow’s subterranean rail stations.

Posted 4/16/13 3:15 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PS Vita, Role Playing Games
The latest from Keiji Inafune does something most demos should be doing already: not only does the demo for PS Vita-exclusive "Soul Sacrifice" offer up the entire first chapter for the game, but any progress you make in it will transfer to your full game purchase. Plus, transferring your save data will also unlock exclusive content for the lengthy action adventure game.

Rumors suggesting that Criterion has been working on a "Need for Speed Underground" reboot are false. The UK-based developer recently declared "it is time to make something new," revealing that the studio is moving away from racing for now.

Hope you've got your fill of "Skyrim" content because Bethesda is done producing DLC for the award-winning 2011 RPG as they focus their efforts on continued bug fixes and their next title.

What Noise Does a Badger Make? 'Pid' Devs Might & Delight Announce 'Shelter'
Posted 4/15/13 12:40 pm EST by MTV Video Games in Mac, News, PC

Up until five minutes ago, I had no idea what badgers sound like. Dogs bark and cats caterwaul (appropriately), but -- according to the teaser for Might & Delight's "Shelter" -- badgers make kind of a whimpering, yelping noise.
In "Shelter," you take on the role of a mother badger forced to find a new home for her cubs. According to the Stockholm-based devs, "The harsh reality of nature plays a pivotal role in the game whilst at the same time Shelter aims to pay a homage to the great outdoors and all its imposing beauty." That's fine and dandy, but if one my baby badgers dies, I'll freak out.

Sam's Got Skills In This 'Splinter Cell: Blacklist' 'Abilities' Trailer
Posted 4/15/13 11:10 am EST by Charles Webb in News, PC, PS3, Video, Wii U, Xbox 360
In January, I had a chance to preview a couple of levels in Ubisoft's "Splinter Cell: Blacklist," and one of the big selling points was how the stealth action game would accommodate the various play styles of the different type of gamers out there: not only would it remain true to the no-kill, stealth agent player but, if you were so inclined, you could play the game like a shooter without feeling like "Blacklist" was punishing you for it.
With that in mind, Ubisoft has released this new gameplay trailer featuring some of Fourth Echelon leader Sam Fisher's new skills in taking down (or taking out) the enemy for the August 20 release for the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Wii U. So the question is, how will you be playing the game?
Undead Labs' Zombie Survival Sim 'State of Decay' Gets A Trailer
Posted 4/15/13 10:26 am EST by Charles Webb in News, Video, Xbox 360
Undead Labs' "State of Decay" is a hard game to pin down with just a few minutes' demo. Even with the five (or so) hour preview the developer offered at their Seattle-based studio, I still don't feel like I've adequately seen how all of the systems in this third-person base management/relationship management shooter mesh together. I can (and will) tell you how it felt to play it in a preview later today, but I can't tell you with complete confidence that it works (or that it doesn't--it's a big game).
