Codemasters Confirm Bodycount


Most people remember Black, an action FPS from Stuart Black. That title was fun though a little short, so now Codemasters has announced Bodycount for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The scheduled release date is Q1 of 2011 so there is a lot more time to watch the progress of the title.

The description by Black sounds like it’s going to evolve Black into something amazing for Bodycount.

Bodycount’s revealed story so far is a global power struggle where enemies classified as “Targets” are taken out for the “Network.” Not too descriptive, but the idea of huge destructible environments provides a lot of hints. One being that stealth isn’t so important.

Using the EGO Game Technology Platform, Bodycount looks like it should be something to keep an eye on, though there is a long wait ahead.

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString Announced at GDC 2010


Seven45 Studios has announced a new music game experience in the form of Power Gig: Rise of the SixString, which uses a functioning six-string guitar as the game peripheral. A sister company to First Act, Power Gig: Rise of the SixString could be the next evolution of the music genre and silence a lot of the naysayers of music games and how they don’t teach guitar, just mimic it.

Releasing for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with a planned release this Fall, Power Gig: Rise of the SixString provides a different approach by providing two modes.

The first is the standard follow-the-button mode, but the other mode is chord play. This mode will require specific finger placement on the strings and will theoretically teach more about the guitar than ever before.

Check inside for a picture of the guitar in person!

Resident Evil 5: Desperate Escape Review


The second DLC pack from Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 entitled Desperate Escape has released and takes a different approach from the first DLC Lost in Nightmares by creating a more action focused mission between BSAA Agent Josh Stone and Jill Valentine. Instead of the nostalgic pairing of Redfield and Valentine, Desperate Escape is much like the title describes, trying to survive among pursing hordes.

Included in the DLC is also Rebecca Chambers and Josh Stone for Mercenaries Reunion. Capcom is also releasing Resident Evil: Gold Edition for PlayStation 3 on 1 Blu-ray and Xbox 360 which includes the original game and a download token for all the DLC.
