Submission + - First look at Insomniac Games Sunset Overdrive (playerattack.com)

Submitted by UgLyPuNk on Thursday May 08, 2014 @09:00AM

UgLyPuNk writes: Sunset Overdrive debuted at E3 2013 in a blaze of eye-searing neon, with an all-too-short teaser trailer that left everybody wanting more, desperate to find out what that was all about.

Sunset City is the messy, sprawling love child of Times Square and Harajuku, flat surfaces covered with advertising, streets crawling with mutants.

Submission + - Evolve Preview (New Left 4 Dead) (playerattack.com)

Submitted by UgLyPuNk on Tuesday February 11, 2014 @09:33AM

UgLyPuNk writes: Evolve is a game for people who are sick of cookie cutter classes. It's a game for people who like teamplay — but also for those lone wolves who want to singlehandedly take everyone down. It's a game for people who want a new first-person shooter — a fast-paced, active, agile experience that gives you a jetpack and throws you into an alien jungle to face off against a monster three times your size.
