Gears of War: Judgment gets ‘Lost Relics’ multiplayer DLC next month

by bloksaggfdflajn on May 17, 2013

Epic lays down Gears of War: Judgment with new multiplayer DLC in June. The ‘Lost Relics’ pack a new gametype and four further maps, including the return of ‘Checkout’ from Gears of War 3. Also bundled in are new armor and weapon skins.

The gametype is called Breakthrough. It features one team trying to get a flag from A to B, and another trying to stop them. The attacking team has a limited pool of lives, while the defensive team has unlimited resources. Sounds like the attacking team’s has their work cut out.

You can peruse layouts of the four maps – that’s Checkout, Lost City, Museum, and Ward (for OverRun) – in the gallery just below these words. More details are due in the coming weeks. Finally, in case you missed it, Judgment received a free OverRun map earlier this week.

Bulletstorm 2 was going to be ‘more insane’

April 23, 2013

A sequel to 2011 first-person shooter Bulletstorm was going to be “an amazing game,” according to People Can Fly founder Adrian Chmielarz. Speaking with Eurogamer, the developer–who has since left the company–claimed that this game was conceived as over-the-top and believable at the same time. “It was gonna be actually more insane in a way,” Chmielarz said. “It’s still kinda believable but the pulpiness and the craziness of it was through the roof.” He did not divulge any specifics, but pointed to Rick Remender’s comic books as examples, specifically the Fear Agent series

Today’s Amazon gaming Gold Box is for grown-ups

April 23, 2013

Today’s gold-coated, quick-fire deals from Amazon seem to have one thing in common: plenty of moider. A good portion of the deals are for games that get a bit angry and violent; we spot a mouth-frothing line-up that hints at Halo 4, Hitman: Absolution, and Dead Space 3 deals among others. Then there’s the not-especially-calm Gears of War: Judgment, which is going for $34.99 until 8AM ET (5AM PT), tempestuously fidgeting as it revs its chainsaw.At least the all-day deal brings peace and serenity in the form of God of War: Ascension.

April 22, 2013

DC fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us has dethroned BioShock Infinite’s three-week stint as king of the UK charts.
