Disney and EA Announce Multi-Year Star Wars Games Partnership


Posted on May 6, 2013 by Joshua Rust

The House Of Mouse and publishing giant Electronic Arts have agreed to multi-game and multiyear agreement that will put the Star Wars brand in the hands of studios like Visceral, DICE, & Bioware. Of course Bioware is no stranger as they have put out one of the best Star Wars games ever created, in my opinion, Star Wars: The Knights Of The Old Republic. No, I’m not talking about that MMO one either. Unfortunately, I don’t think this means that the impressive and promising Star Wars 1313 game will be resurrected – but one can hope.

Electronic Arts will be handling the ‘core’ Star Wars games, while Disney will focus on the casual games – ranging from phones, tablets, consoles, & PC. Here’s hoping that we will get some quality titles out of this deal. For the official press release, keep reading after the jump.Read More

Road Rash Redemption Kickstarter Adds XBLA Version


Posted on May 6, 2013 by Joshua Rust

That is, if the goal is reached. Road Rash, how I miss you. How I miss taking down P.E. No.1. The chains, the mace, and overall hectic motorcycle racing carnage. The first time I played Road Rash was back on Sega Genesis and I instantly fell in love with it. I’ve long wished for a reboot or a re-release over XBLA and/or PSN and it looks like that it’s a possibility – with your help, that is.

DarkSeas Games, based out of New Orleans, is looking to seek support (and I mean the financial kind) to help raise even more money for their stretch goal in their Kickstarter project titled: Road Rash Redemption. You can find the link the Kickstarter game here. The XBLA version would require $178,000 to become reality and as of now they are sitting at almost $110,000. So, that’s about $70,000 they need to raise over 5 days to get a XBLA version up and going. So please spread the word!

A fan trailer for Road Rash Redemption was created by one of the backers if you’re having trouble remembering what Road Rash is all about…Read More

Pacific Rim Game Coming To XBLA?


Posted on May 6, 2013 by Joshua Rust

It appears to be all but confirmed as the Australian classifications board has listed the video game tie-in to Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming blockbuster film. It looks like Warner Brothers Interactive will be publishing the game and Yukes will be developing it. Yukes is the team behind WWE ’13 and Real Steel so they do have experience with fighting games – as this appears what the Pacific Rim game will focus around. Some screenshots have been leaked as well, which you can see after the jump.Read More
