Guardians Of The Galaxy For Pinball FX 2 & Zen Pinball 2 Review

 

In the movie Guardians Of The Galaxy, a kid named Peter Quill is kidnapped by aliens and taken into space where, as a grown up, he becomes, “the legendary outlaw Star-Lord.” Which may sound cool, but it means that he may never have played a game of pinball. Good thing he can make up for it with Zen Studios’ Guardians Of The Galaxy table, which is now available for Zen Pinball 2 on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Vita; Pinball FX 2 for Xbox 360 and PCs via steam (as well as Xbox One when that version of PFX2 comes out in August); and Zen Pinball for iOS, Android, and Amazon devices.

Exclusive Interview: Goat Simulator Executive Director Of Goating Line Jakobsen

 

In the realm of video games, there’s been flight simulators, driving simulators, even city planning simulators. And now there’s Goat Simulator from Sweden’s Coffee Stain Studios. With the game recently released on PC, and now being distributed in the U.S. by Deep Silver (y’know, the Saints Row people) — the Mac and Linux versions are available through the game’s website — I spoke to Line Jakobsen — who says “We haven’t really done titles for Goat Simulator, but executive director of goating sounds like a suitable title for me” — about the origins of this species.

“The Last Of Us Remastered” Review

 

It goes without saying that if you played the third-person stealth action survival horror game The Last Of Us when it came out on the PlayStation 3 last summer, there’s no reason to buy The Last Of Us Remastered on the PlayStation 4, since all it adds is upgraded graphics, minor changes to the controls, and the previously released add-ons.

But for those who haven’t had the pleasure, The Last Of Us is a engrossing, challenging, and often horrific journey through a rich word fraught with danger…regardless of which version you play.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Ilya Muromets Developers Jason V. Williams & Anatoly Subbotin

One of things people love about flying games (and racing games, and motocross games…) is the opportunity to get behind the wheel of many different vehicles. But in the upcoming World War I flight simulator Ilya Muromets, due out on PC later this year from 1C Game Studios, you’ll mostly be behind the wheel of one vehicle: the Sikorsky Ilya Muromet, a Russian bomber built by iconic helicopter designer Igor Sikorsky. But while the titular game lets you fly other planes, in talking to two of the developers — 777 Studio’s Jason V. Williams and 1C’s Anatoly Subbotin — it doesn’t really sound like you’d want to.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Skara: The Blade Remains Co-Creator César Ortega

We all know how mixing peanut butter and chocolate was a genius move. But it’s not the only example of people mixing disparate elements into some new and cool. Consider the upcoming game Skara: The Blade Remains, which mix elements of fighting games, RPGs, and the multiplayer modes of action games, and will be coming to PCs via Steam Early Access later this month. Though in talking to the dev studio’s co-founder César Ortega, it seems that mixing those genres together wasn’t as easy as ramming a piece of chocolate into a jar of peanut butter.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Shadowgate Design Director Karl Roelofs

Released in 1987, Shadowgate was one of the original point & click adventure games. Now this fantasy game is getting an updated upgrade from the original creators. One of whom, design director Karl Roelofs, recently explained how the game works, and how it will work differently than you remember it, when his company Zojoi releases it this August on PC and Mac (and later on iOS and Android).

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad Developers

At a time when the phrase “flying game” invokes images of irritated birds, you might think you’d see a new ultra-realistic flight simulator when pigs fly. Well, get ready for aerial bacon come September, because that’s when 1C Game Studio will be releasing IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad, a realistic World War II flight simulator for the PC. And while it won’t have any annoyed fowl, 1C’s Anatoly Subbotin and 777 Studio’s Jason V. Williams do say this latest installment in the IL-2 Sturmovik series might appeal to more than just wannabe pilots.

Thoughts On The Destiny Beta

Last night, I spent a couple hours playing through the beta of Destiny, the upcoming sci-fi first-person shooter RPG that Bungie will release September 9th on the PlayStation 4 (which is what I played the beta on), PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. And while I found it to be an invigorating game that recalls what Bungie used to do in the Halo games, there were also some easily fix issues that made me think it could be even better.
