A Million Enlist For Combat Arms
Nexon America isn't just for tweens looking to play cutesy, anime-inspired MMO titles anymore. Their online multiplayer shooter Combat Arms, launched in open beta form just this past July, now boasts over one million registered users. To celebrate, Nexon is releasing two new patches that add a new game mode and map to the action, along with new weapons and special event gear for Halloween. The new map, Waverider, takes place in a European hilltop town and will be the largest map in the game. The new game mode is called Bounty Hunter, and involves one player with a bounty on his head earning in-game money depending on how long he can escape from everyone else. More »

Fracture Review: Breaking New Ground
LucasArts' 3rd person shooter Fracture has gone through a lot of changes since we first saw it back at E3 2007, but one thing has always remained the same - changes. The ability to raise and lower the earth plays heavily into Fracture's gameplay, giving your character the upper hand against the DNA-altering Pacifican rebels who seek to take over a United States quite literally divided. Having watch the game go through many changes, including a complete revamp of the main character, I was afraid that such rapid changes in direction might lend themselves to an average shooter that relied on an interesting mechanic to prop up mediocre gameplay. Was I wrong? Love and hate divided, the game's fate decided, after the jump. More »

Global Agenda
Global Agenda - The Georgia-Grown Action MMO
Living in Georgia, getting some hands-on time with a game still at a relatively early point in development generally means packing my bags, finding someone to watch the cats, assigning a backup person to check on that person, and plenty of time eating bad airport food. Not so for Global Agenda, a fast-paced action MMO being developed by the Atlanta-based Hi-Rez Studios. All that took was a quick shower, an application of some mostly clean clothing, and a fifteen-minute drive north. That kind of convenience is addictive. We need more developers in Georgia if only to keep me from running down the street every afternoon to stare into Hi-Rez's windows to see what they're doing - most likely testing out the gameplay in Global Agenda, which is exactly what they were doing when I showed up at their offices last week. See? Convenient. More »

CellZenith Wants To Be The Next Geometry Wars
Is Faramix Enterprises' CellZenith the next Geometry War? According to their website, many of their testers seem to think so. CellZenith is a fast-paced space shooter due out on September 30th for the PC from Direct2Drive and GamersGate for $19.95, which features 35 different ships, 30 campaign levels, powerups, boss battles, dynamic weather, mini-games, and just about everything else they could cram in there. Whether it's the next Geometry Wars remains to be seen, but it at least looks like an interesting shooter for those so inclined to shoot things on their PC. Hit the jump for some screenies, or hit up the game's website for more info. More »

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Gets Worldwide Release Date
GSC Game World loves S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky so much that they want to share it with the entire world, all at once. The follow up to last year's hit S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl will be hitting store shelves all over the damn place on August 29th."Our intention to deliver the game simultaneously worldwide is both a challenge and big responsibility to the many fans of the game around the globe. We are looking forward to achieve this ambitious goal in August." - said Sergiy Grygorovych, GSC World Publishing CEO.
Clear Sky is of course a prequel to the first game, featuring improved AI, a more fleshed-out story, and better character development. If they manage to iron out the bugs before they release this time around they could have a winner on their hands. More »

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky Looks Awfully Cloudy
GSC Game World's follow-up prequel to last year's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl makes and meets a lot of promises. Better graphics, a more fleshed out story, more interesting graphics and a greatly improved AI make S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky a definite improvement over the original game, but seriously - where's the Clear Sky? Check out the latest screens. Cloudy, overcast, dark - dammit, I want my money back as soon as the game comes out and I pay for it!

EA Reveals Cartoony, Free To Play Battlefield Heroes
Big news from the Digital Life, Digital Design Conference in Munich today, as EA reveals the latest game in their online warfare series - Battlefield Heroes. Abandoning the series'' knack for processor-heavy realistic graphics, this new title features a cartoony look akin to Valve's Team Fortress 2, perfect for fast-action and accessible to a much wider audience. On top of the change in graphical direction, the game also features an all-new price point for an EA PC title: free. More »

Penguins Arena Brings Christmas Cheer
If you haven't tried out Frogames' unique FPS Penguins Arena yet, you're missing out. It's a tiny game that features the titular penguins battling it out with snowballs on various icebergs, with four teams trying to knock their opponents into the water, where nasty things await. The game is fast, fun, and a bit addicting really, which is why I've not posted on it before. Every time I get reminded of the game I end up playing it for a couple of hours and completely forgetting to tell anyone. Frogames has just released a Christmas update for the game, featuring two new maps, new costumes to dress your penguins in, and an all-new "Unlimited Weapons" mode. It's a small download for the demo, and the full version is only $19.95. Money well-spent I'd say, but then again I've got a soft spot in my heart for penguins. Check out the game at http://www.frogames.com/penguins_arena. More »

Candy Mountain Massacre
From the website that brought you 5 Minutes to Kill Yourself and Viva Caligula comes Candy Mountain Massacre, the latest highly inappropriate game to grace the Adult Swim Games section. It's a 3D 3rd-person shooter which puts you in the shoes of a sexy female exterminator charged with cleansing the creatures of Candy Mountain, who have been turned into vicious killers due to some sort of plague. Dress up in cosplay or don some black-ops gear as you slaughter your way through leprechauns, bunnies, and cooing babies with three different weapons. It's one of the better web-based shooters I've played, running quite smoothly despite the odd glitch here and there. Probably not safe for work, unless your job doesn't mind dying representations of Irish folklore shouting, "Look what you did, ya slut!" More »

The game, which is based on that classic sci-fi sequel by James Cameron, will be a first-person shooter that follows the character Colonial Marine, a soldier that accompanies Sigourney Weaver in the movie.

Rumor: Karous for the Wii
Hints of a game destined to die on Dreamcast might be making a crazy monkey-dancing, snake-blooded, voodoo revival on the Wii. Milestone has not announced any titles for the Wii, yet they have been listed as a third-party developer since the very beginning, which begs the question, "Where's my game and when can I have it?".

Clip: Ketsui Final Doom Battle
During the demo, players had 120 minutes to face off against Doom with a single ship and no bombs before the demo was locked due to a time out. There were noticeable changes to Doom's attack patterns as well as the game speed that helped alter the game to fit the DS's resolution and screen size, but according to the participants at the event, the arcade feeling that the game provided was still excellent.

AOU 2007: Shooting And Porky Girls
This past week, the coin-op AOU2007 Amusement Expo stormed through Japan. Held at Chiba' Makuhari Messe, the even featured new arcade games from companies like Konami, Sega, Taito Bandai Namco and Capcom — Plus a fair share of smaller companies. While a good chunk of these games will never see Western release, a few of them very well could end up in arcades abroad or as console ports. Throughout the night, we'll be posting some more pics and a report from the event. To whet your appetite, hit the jump for the buxom moe fatty bullet-hell Muchi Muchi Pork from Cave. The shooter features things like "Lard Attack" and to recharge their "Lard Gauge," players collect little pigs that appear when enemies are destroyed. Gallery and clips ahoy! More »
