Bulletstorm Demo Impressions

First person shooters are like action movies: they’re flashy, lacking in substance, and you can’t walk down a hallway without tripping on one these days. Occasionally, you’ll find a Matrix or a 300 in titles like BioShock or Deus Ex, but the majority of them are your typical Van Damme or Stallone flicks. Bulletstorm, at first glance, would appear to be the latter. It’s flashy to the point of comedy, but carries a distinct humor and a unique gimmick that you will not find in most shooters. With the release of the demo this week on the PSN and XBLA, I sat down with the game and tried to determine if the insane people over at People Can Fly have a winner on their hands, or just another short-lived firecracker.

EA and Epic Games Bring the Bulletstorm

It was safe to assume that the teams behind Gears of War and Unreal wouldn't make a new intellectual property called Kittens Kissing Puppies, but they've literally gone the extra mile with their new title, dubbed Bulletstorm. I'm not sure there's anything more violent than a storm of bullets. Maybe Bonestorm? A Thousand Groin Punches?

Review: Shadow Complex Thumbnail

Review: Shadow Complex

Admittedly, I haven't played any of the Castlevania games except for about twenty minutes of Symphony of the Night. One series I have played to death, however, is Metroid; Super Metroid is definitely in my top 10, if not top 20, games of all-time. So Epic and Chair's announcement of Shadow Complex and the immediate comparison to Super Metroid had me excited. Even though I wasn't familiar with Chair's previous works, I trusted that Epic would never release a subpar title. My expectations were set: a great tribute of sorts to Super Metroid or Symphony of the Night with better graphics. Surprisingly enough, it was far more than that. (more...)

ALT+F4: Skewed Prices, Expanding Everquests, and more!

Ah, Monday, never really a messenger of exciting news on the gaming front. However, there are a few tidbits rolling over from the weekend. Epic games launches a new division in Korea, which is sure to help bring into existence more of what I love, UE3 MMOs. Everquest I and II both having expansions looming on the horizon, although not too much is known at this point. The Obsidian developed Aliens RPG quietly fades into the void, and Trine starts the controversy rolling with wildly differing price points for various platforms and regions. All of this can be found in ALT+F4 today, so check it out after the jump. (more...)
