Revolt is a twin-stick shooter (or twin-thumbs if you’re a stickler for accuracy) featuring some of the best graphics yet on the iPhone. Gameplay appears pretty solid for this type of genre and the feature list is very promising. Perhaps most impressive is that Revolt was made by only two people over 10 months of time.
A new trailer for the Wii’s upcoming Metroid: Other M has debuted, which you can view above. Sadly, the new trailer does not display any actual gameplay footage, merely showcasing heavily voice-acted cutscenes.
Nintendo sure appears to be taking a different approach with the new title, delving heavily into Samus Aran’s history and apparently, her emotional side. The trailer itself features Samus talking about how she “was so young” and “was scared.” I’m not exactly sure if I like the prospect of the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter getting in touch with her emotional side, but we’ll see how the gameplay turns out this June.
Other than that, the trailer could easily pass for a one-minute clip of Coruscant from the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
Sid Meier, the greatest strategy game designer in existence, is working on his latest brainchild, Civilization V. Details about what makes Civilization V so different from previous installments remain elusive, though we do know the world will be presented with a hexagonal map, sport a new combat system, expand your diplomatic options and undoubtedly add a ton of features long in demand by Civ fanatics. Unfortunately, this debut trailer is pretty useless as you will find no gameplay footage, just CGI renders who sole purpose is to get you excited for a more proper trailer down the road.
Nintendo has released the first new trailer for Super Mario Galaxy 2 since its debut at E3 2009, and the title looks to make full use of the new drill item and long-time dinosaur pal Yoshi. One boss fight in particular uses the drill to bore through a planet and crack open the underside of the boss to break an enclosed star free.
You can also find a wealth of information on the game, as well as new screenshots, from Nintendo’s game information page.
A truly dedicated Castlevania fan over at retro fan site The Castlevania Dungeon recently managed to attend the Castlevania Concert in Stockholm, Sweden, and filmed the performance for the rest of us non-Swedish shlubs to see.
Not since the free Super Smash Bros. Melee orchestral CD from Nintendo Power have I been this impressed with a live performance of video game music. As a fairly experienced vampire killer myself, I was able to recognize most every tune played in the videos. But perhaps you’re a newer fan to the series, or maybe you haven’t played the games in a while.
So how about a little test? Without cheating via Google search, can you tell recognize the name of each song and the game it’s pulled from? But don’t think it’s going to be easy, because some songs have been redone multiple times throughout the series, with each version having a distinctive sound. I’ll give you some hints.
