Awesome Radical Gaming

Gaming news that is both awesome AND radical.

2010

  • Platinum Games’ (Bayonetta, Mad World) latest game, Vanquish, is a third-person shooter featuring a cover system similar to Gears of War and the ability to slow down time. Looks pretty interesting, I like the jet pack allowing the player to move quickly to get under cover. Also, an important warning. Elect a female president and…

  • Those are some crazy yarn graphics. I think it’s pretty cool how they incorporate the theme into the game play by allowing the player to pull the environment together in parts.

  • If only it was coming to the 3DS…

  • Timed exclusivity for the PSN sucks, but it still looks cool.

  • Great video if you aren’t too familiar with the series.

  • Journey is a new game from thatgamecompany, the creators of PSN titles Flower and Flow. It’s an “online adventure experience”, not sure exactly what that means, but it looks totally awesome. Journey is currently scheduled for release on the PS3 sometime in 2011. More screenshots below…

  • Dungeon crawling RPG’s are awesome. Especially when you can choose a ninja as one of your characters. Or a buccaneer. The game currently has a September 21 release date in North America. Full press release, below…

  • A third-person action-RPG game set in the Warhammer 40K universe and developed by Relic. Seems awesome.

  • One of the few sports games I ever played, and it was totally rad. Boom shakalaka.

  • Horde Mode in Gears of War 2 was pretty fun. Fighting wave after wave of enemies with three of your closest friends is always a good time. But Epic was all like “What’s even cooler?” How about playing as waves of bad guys trying to kill the good guys? Pretty awesome. There’s a level up…
