Valve Speaks out on Left 4 Dead 2 with OXCGN-pt 2

“C’mon, c’mon, trust us on this one!”

Aaron & peter e3 09In Part 1 of my interview with Chet “Mr. Awesome” Faliszek, Writer on Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, we discussed why Valve was so keen on a quick sequel along with the smorgasbord of new features coming this November including weapons, items, enemies, maps, weather, characters, and of course the vastly enhanced AI Director 2.0. You can read all about it right here.

In Part 2, we explore what Valve thinks that people like the boycotters should be doing and why Valve’s confident they can convince them to change their minds. I also probe for hints about Left 4 Dead 2’s beginning, the characters, the storytelling, marketing, and why Valve are so confident about releasing a week after Modern Warfare 2!

There’s also some talk about beers, bets and keeping secret projects, well, secret!

OXCGN Looks At Fairytale Fights – Very Scary Red Ridding Hood

Posted on 30 June, 2009 by xboxoz360

A Very Scary Red Riding Hood

Don't mess with me buster - or else!

Now I love a good fairytale like most parents do, but this is one fairytale you want to keep out of the hands of your young nieces and nephews, let alone those young-un’s you have in the safety of their bedrooms. Don’t leave this one laying on the coffee table now will you!

Red Riding Hood is not as she seems, nor are any of the other fabled fairytale characters in Playlogic’s new IP, Fairytale Fights.

And fight they do. Razor sharp saws, rotating mincers, axes, crowbars, clubs of all shapes and sizes, all spilling copious amounts of blood with death-n-mayhem from beginning to end. So it’s no wonder it will more than likely attract the very serious “M” rating in the US under the ESRB, and undoubtedly the MA15+ here in Australia with the 18+ via Europe’s PEGI system.

OXCGN’s 360 Exclusives – Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance

Infenal hells vengeance ocxgn #31This one sort of snuck up on us . . . yet another 360 exclusive out of E3 2009.

Earlier in the year it featured as an ad-placement on the Official Xbox Website and on our 360 Dashboards, then phhoofff!!! . . . gone from sight – and mind by the looks of it.

Then out of left field, Playlogic represented the game at E3 09, all ready for release in the 2nd quarter of 2009. Well that ends mighty soon, – and by all accounts, the game looks damn fine.

Running along the lines of some of the recent supernal 3rd person perspective games, albeit not a sandbox style. Lots of powers of telekinesis, teleportation, damn handy when caught in a corner, and extra super vision to scope out those nasties trying to thwart your endeavours. Not to forget the handy trick of invisibility, which is perfect for those stealthy moments when there are no shadows about  to deal with the vilians.

Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance looks at how one Ryan Lennox who has been betrayed, seeks vengeance for his persecution, and uses his skills to that end.

calender june oxcgn copyJune has been a big month for games, almost like Christmas come early. Some amazing releases have left us spoiled for choice, with an unusual trend among the majority: open worlds. Red Faction: Guerrilla and inFamous kicked off winter in style followed closely by Prototype less than a week later.

While reviews have given these three a hearty dose of praise, with the best making sure to review each on their own individual merits, there is still a question remaining: if you can only afford one, which is right for you?
