Any fan of the popular WarCraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients probably already knows about this upcoming Strategy-RPG. I consider myself a fan of DotA, but I got into it too late to play it competitively. After a few matches online, with fair warning that I was a n00b, I was still hated by my teammates and no longer enjoyed playing it. I’m not sure if I even have WCIII installed anymore.

Demigod is going to be a second chance for me to "pwn" and get back into a competitive Strategy-RPG. After playing the Beta for the past few months I feel my inner nerd flame rising from this gas powered pc game. Along with some of the other Beta players, I'll plan on bursting into flames like a level 20 Torchbearer on Demigod’s launch date April 14th, 2009. As for Strategy Role-Playing game, Demigod is forcing me looking into strategies, finding ways to dominate, and hold...

Sucker Punch has earned their rep from the Playstation fanboys for their Sly Cooper series.
I first heard about their new PS3 title, Infamous, in January's EGM (issue #199, RIP 1up). In that article they talked about giving the hero unlimited powers that would fit in a videogame. If you made a character with blades, they should be able to cut through anything in the game. That idea seems impractical and not worth the effort. Giving a player electric powers sounds great, because you can electrocute (almost) anything. Link to interview: http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3171602&p=37

So this all sounds good on paper, but this gameplay footage from PAX 2008 shows what these ideas manifested into: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43850.html

After reviewing the footage, I had some pretty negative impressions of the game. I began to wonder:

I'm going to try and constrain my post to what pure rage I can capture in only 30 minutes. Starting now (4:28am PST)! Also: NSFW.

Oh awesome! I can now get those adorable little figures I wanted for Castle Crashers. Alas, why wouldn't I want to spend $25 to remind myself of how blindly I was attracted to your art style, only to find your game would later ruin an awesome night of local co-op at my friend's house? Behemoth, could you send me your mailing address, I could just give you the $25 and you can send me a prolapsed colon reminding me of how bad you ed over your fans.

Really, in your defense you should continue to gloat, your game did sell 78,545 units beating all XBLA records in just 3 days. Again, from your own blog.


In your own forums a good bit of users are defending your blunders, pointing the finger at Microsoft for not releasing the patch....
