As of today, Bethesda has announced it’s involvement in publishing a brand new IP set to hit the XBox 360, PS3 and PC platforms. Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is slated to be a 2-player co-op dungeon crawler developed by inXile Entertainment. inXile was originally founded by Brian Fargo who was responsible for work on several big name franchises including Baldur’s Gate, Bard’s Tale and Fallout. I know I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with the dungeon crawlies, and regardless of the fact that I haven’t put enough time into Torchlight or even started Shiren: the Wanderer, I’m still excited to see more on this one. What about you?

Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising Goes Gold
February 25, 2010 By 1 Comment
According to a press release February 22nd, THQ announced that fans of the successful RTS Warhammer 40,000 franchise, Dawn of War, won’t have to wait long to see the newest installment. As a followup to Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising is a brand new Games for Windows Live standalone expansion at a very reasonable cost of $29.99 US. It boasts a brand new playable race, the Chaos Space Marines, a raised level cap from 20 to 30, a brand new campaign, more multiplayer options, and of course, phat new loots! If you haven’t tried out the original Dawn of War II, I highly suggest picking up the demo – haters of RTS who are fans of dungeon crawlers may be surprisingly interested in the single player and co-op.
“Chaos Rising is the perfect follow up to Dawn of War II, 2009’s RTS Game of the Year, offering an incredible amount of new content for an amazing value.”
– Travis Plane, Vice President of Global Brand Management, THQ.
Now the real question is with a release date of March 11th, two days after Final Fantasy XIII, will anyone really care? I loved the first, and I’m hoping I do, but I honestly don’t know the answer to that one.

Darksiders – “Heads Will Roll”
December 17, 2009 By
So, I realize that between God of War clones, more of the original killer of gods, and an over-the-top scantily clad woman with guns in her boots that early 2010 is looking to be the season of 3D combat action games. Personally, I have no problem with that, and I seem to be in the minority yet again that it’s Darksiders that is intriguing me the most of said releases. Slated to hit January 5th, this part-action, part-Zelda title looks to be shaping up nicely, check the new “Heads Will Roll” trailer below.
Dragon Quest 9 coming to the West
Regular listeners of our podcast should know by now that I am an avid Dragon Quest fanboy, for better and for worse. I’ve played through the greatest entries in the franchise (Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest VIII) and also suffered through some of the less reputable ones, most notably Dragon Quest: Swords for the Wii (which I maintain to this day is a better game than most people give it credit for.) Having said that, it should come as no surprise that I am rejoicing at the news that Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is finally making it to West. [Read more...]
