Dark Void

ooj — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:39:06 +0800

New Capcom title coming out 18th or 19th Jan.

Official Playstation Magazine (US) gives it 4/5 stars. Xbox360 mag reviews give it 60/100.

(from Wikipedia)
Plot
The game's story will center around a cargo pilot named William Augustus Grey (voiced by Nolan North) who crashes in the Bermuda Triangle. From there, he is teleported to a parallel universe where he encounters other humans, called Survivors. Together, Will and the survivors must battle an alien race known as the Watchers to return to Earth. The Watchers came from afar, making humans do their bidding, while being treated as gods. Eventually people known as Adepts emerged and banished the Watchers to the realm in which our pilot is trapped. With the help of Nikola Tesla, they retrofit Watcher technology to fight the Watchers.

Gameplay

The games make use of a new "vertical cover system", as well as a standard cover system.

The game will include a hover pack, and later, a jetpack, allowing for a quick transition between traditional shooter gameplay and flight. It has also been announced that everything unlocked in the first play through will be transferred over to new games.

The game also features "tactical freedom", which is different ways of achieving the same goal. For instance, in the game, the player must take down an Archon, a large robotic enemy manned by a Watcher. The first way to take it down is by shooting its leg joints, rendering the giant enemy incapacitated. Once this is done, the player must climb onto the Archon's tail, triggering a mini-game, and fight the Watcher that's controlling it. A different way of accomplishing all this is by hijacking an enemy UFO and blasting the Archon with the ship's cannons until it explodes.

So how many of you purchase DLC for your PS3 games? If you do purchase, what games do you buy it for?

No one interested in this game? Aren't you impressed with the graphics at all? You guys are jaded.

Blackmango Games - poll on rental pricing

ooj — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:08:51 +0800

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of offering new rental packages so I'd like some feedback from you guys. From the response of some of my renters, I gather that my existing options are not meeting everyone's requirements so I thought I'd come up with a few more options, that is, if there is sufficient interest.

The existing options are the RM50/mth, RM80/mth and casual rental but I gather that there are some gamers who don't have the budget for this. And there are also others who don't have time to play as much as they would like. Hence, the RM30 option and the buy-back option.

The RM30 option gives renters access to older games (for example, Dead Space, FIFA09, Golden Axe, Bioshock, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Resistance Fall of Man, etc). The list will constantly be updated, so there is no worry of being stuck with really old games. This is aimed at gamers who don't mind playing older games and are in no hurry to play the new stuff, maybe because they just bought a PS3 and are still catching up with the catalog. It's also good value for those who are tight on cash, at RM1 per day.

The buy-back option would be for gamers who don't have time to play so they prefer to buy instead of rent. We will buy the game back at a pre-specified price and within specified time limits so effectively it's like a long term rental. However, purchasers do not have to sell it back to us if they prefer not to.

Wokay! It's open to the floor. Please give me your feedback. Let me know what you think, why you'd select a specific option (or options), or whether you'd be interested in any of these options at all.

Thanks!

Blackmango Games - Wii Game rental

ooj — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 22:27:31 +0800

Hi guys

I'm thinking of expanding into Wii game rental and sales. Is there a demand for this? Anyone interested? Are the majority of Wii gamers either buying the *ahem* games or are you strictly casual gamers?

If I started this, it will be the same structure as my PS3 rental system.

Please provide your frank feedback.

Thanks!
