While most of our time on popular social networking site Facebook is spent trying to impress our cohorts with our favorite bands and films or attempting to propel porpoises into the far reaches of the spiral galaxy, we recently took notice of a new application added by Republican presidential hopeful John McCain’s campaign staff: a simple flash game titled Pork Invaders, an obvious parody of the similarly titled arcade classic.
Don’t mistake the game’s title to mean the Arizona senator harbors any disdain for unkosher meats — rather, the act of firing vetoes at familiar patterns of descending pigs stands for the candidate’s contempt for pork barrel spending — the earmarking of funds for seemingly unnecessary projects. It’s not a particularly good game, though it is worth noting when the U.S.’s prospective new leaders enter the intimidating world of game development. We hope for a quick response from the presumptive Democratic candidate’s campaign — Obomberman, perhaps?

Just when we were ready to resign ourselves to the fact that Spider-Man games had reached their peak and were on the decline — in terms of quality — along comes this combat trailer for Web of Shadows, and melts our faces off.
It features a 3D combat system that would make any fan of the webhead proud, and seems to finally do the unthinkable: nail the Spider-Man experience to a tee. Not only does the trailer show ground and aerial combat merging together seamlessly, but you can even switch between the familiar red/blue and black suits on the fly. DO WANT!
Now if only we could speak these guys into taking over the Superman license…

If you’re still skeptical about Call of Duty 5: World at War, there’s a chance that the above teaser trailer, as aired on GTTV, might warm your cockles to Treyarch’s Modern Warfare follow-up. It has flamethrowers in it.
The full trailer after the jump promises a visceral and gruesome World War II game, and if they can capture the horrors of the Pacific Front, then maybe they’ll win the hearts of we who didn’t want to go back to WWII.

Y’know, this seems familiar. Hmm … yes it does. While we already knew the solid release date of Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (June 25), Ticket to Ride has been something of an unknown quantity, with not much information about the game having ever been relased to the press. However, the last time xbox.com pages appeared for unreleased XBLA games, they released exactly one week later. And with HTF: FA definitely hitting next week, we think we can state with some certainty that the electronic adaptation of the classic board game about building railroads will be hitting next week too. To tide you over until then, marvel at the screenshots below.

 Hey fanboys, did you know that we’re smack dab in the middle of a SpongeBob SquarePants Live Weekend? We were oblivious to that fact until about twenty minutes ago when a pink jellyfish knocked on our door and told us the news. No joke either, jellyfish really do talk if you’re willing to listen. So, with it being a SpongeBob Live Weekend, we’re encouraged to download a the free episode “Blackened Sponge / Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob” off the XBVM, purchase other episodes, try the trial of SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!, purchase new spongy gamer photos / themes and give the retail SpongeBob games a whirl. For those who can’t stand SpongeBob, his laugh or the mind control he has on tweens, then feel free to vent in the comments section. Personally, we don’t mind him. Our dishes have never been so clean.

Well it’s been a strange project from day one, and while we were hoping that MK VS DCU wouldn’t be market-tested and exploited to death, it looks like that simply won’t be helped. A recent issue of the UK-based magazine X360 seems to confirm that the Flash, Robin ( really?), Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Black Canary, Hawkman & Powergirl will all make appearances in the game. Also, the article does mention a possible two game deal, as well as DLC for the first game, hinting that they’d like you to purchase even more content for this nuttiness.
Additionally, and perhaps not so surprisingly in retrospect, there was the news that the game will have a tie-in comic to go along with it. Apparently the storyline for it has been completed and contains some sort of gigantic, life changing twist. Comic fans we might be, but color us underwhelmed.

 Again, just like clockwork, we bring you yet another edition of Video Marketplace Weekly where we breakdown all the past week’s new U.S. Video Marketplace movie releases. We do it because we care about you and your motion picture rental habits. And this week’s new releases are … well, nothing overly special, but they are new and that has to mean something. We guess a highlight could be the release of Fool’s Gold solely because it’s McConaughey’riffic! That stated … we don’t see much more. Click that break link and see if you can find some gems among the new Video Marketplace releases.

PopCap are well known for their catalog of casual games, having released a bunch of them on the Live Arcade, and even more via other release channels. So it was no surprise when in an interview with Gamasutra, both the co-founder and CEO reasserted their commitment to continuing to make games that appeal to the widest possible audience.
A surprise did come toward the end of the interview though, when it was announced that PopCap is collaborating with a company that has extensive console experience but also highly values casual games. In a fleeting moment of hyperbole, the project was described as “the coolest collaboration ever, I promise,” then pulled back to the more reasonable “I’ll maintain that it will be one of the top ten collaborations (in gaming).”
Whatever it turns out to be, if the co-fonder of the company thinks this highly of any specific project out of all the ones that PopCap oversees, it’s quite prone to be good. Or maybe this is all just marketing designed to get us to think that … Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
