Morning Hangover: If You Could Kill Only One Kind Of Zombie...

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:00:00 +0000

Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world. Last week was a big one for lovers of zombie slaying (aka everyone), as Left 4 Dead 2 , Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles and the PlayStation One classic Resident Evil 2 (via digital download for the PlayStation 3) were all released. I haven’t checked out Darkside Chronicles yet, and I can’t tell you the last time I played RE2 , but I think it’s safe to say that the vibe and play style of these three games are drastically different. But more specifically, they each contain very different kinds of zombies. The undead of L4D2 are agile and extremely quick. The living dead of the RE games are for the most part your traditional shambling brain-seekers that generate terror because you never ...

Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world. Many of us (yours truly included) will be spending a significant amount of time at the airport over the coming week. It's a time to pretend Xbox Live and PlayStation Network don't exist and get reacquainted with the DS and PSP. What game will be occupying your time over the Thanksgiving holiday? I'll be hopefully checking out Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story . My last experience with the series ended in tears, as a battery error resulted in a saved game with dozens of hours of progress being erased. I haven't been able to develop the courage to return...until now. It's been long enough. The pain....has healed.

Making of... Batman: Arkham Asylum

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:42:00 +0000

How the Feast of Fools began... Batman: one of the biggest licenses of all time. Rocksteady Studios: a relatively small-fry development team with just one, albeit universally well received, game to their name. We're not claiming Batman titles have always been handled by the best dev teams going - which is probably why past efforts have been utter garbage - but awarding Rocksteady the license seemed to be, from the outside at least, a gamble. Just how did the London-based team win this lucrative gig? Click here to read the full article

Review: LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:30:00 +0000

Back to skull. I'm a vocal fan of the LEGO games, but even I was a bit sceptical about a second go-round for Indiana Jones. The first LEGO Indy game was something of a runt compared to the brick-based versions of Star Wars and Batman, and the idea of adding just one more film story - the limp Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - to the existing trilogy hardly suggested a gameplay bonanza. The good news, then, is that Traveller's Tales has come up with a package that renders such concerns null and void. This is an absolutely stuffed disc, easily doubling what was on offer last time, and addressing long-running complaints about the LEGO series to boot. Naysayers who claim LEGO games are just the same thing repackaged are finally proven conclusively wrong, even though every game so far has offered its own tweaks and improvements. Of course, you still explore levels, smashing things, melee-bashing enemies, solving puzzles and collecting LEGO studs for currency. That's what the LEGO games do. ...
