Metro: Last Light launch trailer

Metro-Last-Light-2 Metro: Last Light is finally out!...well for North America that is. A launch trailer was released for the sequel of 4A Games's Metro 2033. The launch trailer pretty much covers everything about Last light. The creepy underground metro system. The dead wasteland on the surface, and mutant-like monsters that always has an interest with you. Let's have a look at Moscow's post-apocalyptic wasteland shall we?

I actually want to play this game since I enjoyed Metro 2033 thanks to the game's atmosphere and setting. It's out in the US right now, but no word when Metro: Last Light retail copies are coming to the Philippines. Steam will have Last Light unlocked on May 17 in South East Asia. so it looks like we have to wait just a little bit longer until we get to control Atryom and walk around the underground metro.

Saint's Row IV dated, gets a trailer too

saint's row IV-ss01 In light of THQ going under, a lot of titles that was once under the now bankrupt company has found new homes to move forward. One of them was the Saint's Row series and their developer Volition being picked up by Deep Silver(Dead Island). Today, they announce the next chapter in the series, Saint's Row IV, not spending anytime with teasers, they throw the world a trailer and a release date. 

the story moves on, and from gangs, the gang's leader has become the president, and what happens after that, well the usual carnage in a Saint's Row game.

It's a bit too soon for me. I haven't even shacken off my time with the third game and already we might see another one at the end of the year. But I'm happy the series survived the who THQ incident. If you enjoyed the third's drop-in drop-out feature, expect it to return for this one.

Saint's Row IV is coming on August 23 on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. According to Deep Silver, it won't be coming to the Wii U.

Metro: Last Light release date confirmed

Metro Last Light-ss01 Metro: Last Light now has a release date. We get to wander through the Metro once again as Atryom on May 14 for NA, and May 17 for the rest of the world. The game will be out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Thanks to THQ going under, many franchises including Metro: Last Light was left homeless. But during the THQ Auction Sale, Publisher Deep Silver(Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide) picked up the Metro franchise keeping it alive.

A tweet from the game's official Twitter also adds that the extra time gives 4A Games more time to really polish the Last Light. By all means, take all the time you need. I'm just grateful that the franchise and 4A Games has a new home to make business continue as usual.

I had a great time with the first Metro game. I wanted more out of the post-apocalyptic survival shooter when I finished it, so I can't wait to wander around the Metro once again.

Just in case you are curious on the gameplay, take a look at this 12 minute demo below.

Dead Island: Ripitide gameplay footage features new mechanics

Dead Island Riptide01 Deep Silver finally reveals actual gameplay footage of the game in a form of a walkthrough, explaining new features added in Riptide. The video explains a new defense mission that requires you to salvage useful items that would help fortify a certain location to fend of hordes of zombies. 

The sequel (or spin-off, not too sure)looks and feels the same. That I'm ok with since the whole concept works, what I'm not ok with is the awkward animations from the last game is still present in Riptide. When I saw the player pick up an item as if he was giving a right hook to do so, I noticed right away they didn't change it. I sound a bit picky, but I was really bothered by it in the first game, seeing those weird animations every single time, it was really weird to look at, even the shadow animation showing how your character runs. The small things, I know.

Dead Island Riptide starts off where the first game ended from the looks of it. Nowhere near Banoi, but in the same archipelago. Same characters, same HUD, pretty much the same game.

Did you want a more improved 2013 Dead Island game, or is this simple enough to keep us satisfied? This is the first released video of the game, so let's hope they have more to show because the game comes out on April 23 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
