The video above is a debut trailer for the newest hit from an indie developer, which is scheduled to make its way to Xbox LIVE sometime this holiday season, which generally means any time from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Weapon of Choice is a side-scroller similar to what we saw in Braid, but the action game pits the forces of earth against mutant aliens.
The story is pretty basic on the surface, with players taking the role of members from the Solus Contingent who are to dispatch the alien threat on Earth. The aliens are grotesque hideous beings as you’ve come to expect, and perhaps not as bright as they should be, as their messe dup entry strategy leaves the whole fleet crashed across a series of islands.
Beyond the basic story, every operative in the team has their own weapon of choice which comes with a different type of gameplay and strategy, centered around the weapon.
Each operative also has a dynamically branching path with results in multiple endings and perhaps the ultimate in replayability.
The Developer is Mommy’s Best Games and seems to be targeting prodigal gamers, by offering intense gameplay which can be completed in a short time. However, make no mistake. Just because the game doesn’t offer hours of endless gameplay (unless you count replayability), you’ll not be breezing through this one. You’ll need expertly honed skills to get through this bloody action game. The soundtrack for the game is amazing, and the game is fully hand drawn, much like we saw in Braid.
This is interesting news indeed, which seems to confirm Bioshock 2. From the trailer’s point of view, it looks like Sea of Dreams will be a sequel to the original Bioshock instead of a prequel, like everyone was hoping.
This teaser was discovered within the menus of the Playstation 3 version once the game is completed, which stands to reason, since the Playstation 3 didn’t receive the game until almost a year after the Xbox 360 version.
The trailer is quite interesting and leaves a lot open to speculation, but most importantly… where can I get one of those Big Daddy plushies the woman is holding?
We’re assuming the woman is a grown up Little Sister, by the way.
War World was released last Wednesday on the Xbox LIVE arcade. It had many people pumped for the release, because it’s essentially a Transformers clone that lets you battle it out using huge mechs.
The graphics were also pretty good for an Arcade game, so many people had this on their try list. Unfortunately, War World fails to deliver in both the demo, and the original game.
If you were thinking about downloading the demo for War World, don’t waste your time. The demo is a 150MB download… for a whopping 30 seconds of game play. That’s right. When you download the game, you can only play for 30 seconds before the game tells you to pay. Aside from having the shortest demo in history, the game play is equally as short.
The maps aren’t overly small, but Death Match modes feel as if you’re in a small room with a dozen or so people. The action is quite frenzied, but it ultimately comes down to who has the most armor or who is the most accurate. This kind of game play leaves you scrambling for health packs so you’re not knocked out of the match.
I’m usually excited for the new releases on Wednesday, and I was at first excited to play War World. However, this is one title you can definitely skip and if you want to be the judge of that, just play the demo. The whole game is wrapped up in a 30 second nut shell.
