Now this is interesting. Warren Spector, acclaimed designer and creator of Deus Ex, was at the DICE convention earlier today where he spoke to a room filled with industry professionals about his career and tastes in gaming. He discussed his lack of interest in “guys who wear armor and swing big swords,” his growing preference for shorter video games, and he also named a game that “should just not be made.” That game was your pick for the best new IP of 2012, Grasshopper Manufacture’s Lollipop Chainsaw.

10 Horror Games That Deserve Sequels!

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on December 14, 2012 @ 7:00am
Category: Games / Editorials

I wish every horror game I enjoyed got a sequel. Even games like BioShock, which don’t really need sequels. If I like it, I usually want more of it, even if it’s only to see where a developer can take their series. Unfortunately, while the slate of releases might suggest otherwise (Black Ops II, Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed III, Resident Evil 6, etc.) it’s difficult for a game to get a sequel, especially in the midst of a new generation of consoles. The problem is studios need to make money, and unless the game has a substantial following or is accessible to a wide audience, potential for a sequel isn’t great.

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably a fan of the horror genre, so you’re undoubtedly aware that when it comes to accessibility, the horror genre (in video games, at least) isn’t exactly known for being welcoming to newcomers. Here are ten games that I think could actually sell well, if they’re given the second chance they deserve.

The ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ Valentine’s Edition Is The Perfect Game To Play With That Special Gamer In Your Life

If there ever was a game that’s great for sharing with that special someone in your life, Lollipop Chainsaw probably wouldn’t be it. The obvious issue is a lack of co-op, but if your special someone likes to watch (not in the super creepy way) then this special Valentine’s edition might be a good fit. This version brings with it a perfect unlock code, limited edition sleeve, and two DVDs. The “Happy Valentine Disc” comes with special items for your PC, including an original desktop clock, wallpapers, and a collection of trailers. The “Premium Movie Disc” includes the in-game cinematics and a special manga. For the time being, this edition is exclusive to Japan, but there’s a chance it could also make its way to the rest of us. If you really want it and have a way of getting a copy, it’ll be available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 13th, for 4,980 yen ($60). More after the break.

If you enjoyed yesterday’s batch of memorable horror game weapons then you’re going to love this. Horror games may not be known for their excess of badass weapons, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been a few games that have brought us some excellent tools with which to beat down the undead hordes, alien intruders, demons, demon worshippers, and other abominations that are unfortunate enough to get in our way when we’re in the mood to kick some ugly monster ass. Here’s the second half of our list of the best weapons of the horror genre.

‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ Is Already Grasshopper’s Most Successful Title To Date

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on August 27, 2012 @ 10:00am
Category: Games / News

Had Lollipop Chainsaw been developed by any other studio, the news that a game featuring a scantily clad chainsaw-wielding cheerleader who spends her free time kicking mountains of zombie ass sold well wouldn’t be all that surprising. However, this is a Suda 51 game, and his projects, which include Shadows of the Damned and No More Heroes, tend not to perform terribly well commercially. This makes the news that his studo has shipped 700,000 units worldwide just a little impressive. It’s also great news for fans of Suda 51′s work, because it could mean a potential sequel, or at the very least, more support for Grasshopper’s next game, the mysterious Killer Is Dead. In related news, if you’re still on the fence about the raunchy title, might I recommend reading our review?

‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ Review: As Sweet As It Is Sour

Category: Games / Reviews

For me, Lollipop Chainsaw is bittersweet, as it marks the end of an incredible collaboration between Goichi Suda (No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill composer). That’s not to say these talented souls won’t work together again, but with Mikami returning to his roots, it could be a while. Their first collaborative effort, the fantastic Shadows of the Damned, set the bar pretty high for their next project. Does it live up to my expectations? Let’s find out. READ MORE

Only a couple more weeks stand between Lollipop Chainsaw and the legions of hungry geeks like myself who can’t wait to put our anxious, sweaty hands all over it. Cheerleaders, chainsaws, rock and roll, legions of the undead, and Suda 51′s quirky humor pretty much guarantees this game will be unlike any other. In this sea of modern shooters I am more than happy to leap into Juliet’s open arms so she can carry me off into the sunset. Should we come across any hordes of zombies, I can bask in the badass glow of Ms. Starling and watch as she beats them down in style. There’s plenty of that going on in this brand new trailer by the way–check it out after the break.

Much like how rainbows fly from the open wounds you inflict on the hordes of undead in the next month’s Lollipop Chainsaw, the game itself has a soft, romantic center hidden under all that blood and rock and roll. It’s kind of like TJ–beneath that bloodied, brutish exterior lies a kind young boy just waiting for someone to come and give him a big hug. In case you were wondering how the hell they managed to mix lollipops, rainbows, cheerleaders and romance with zombies, gore, chainsaws and severed limbs, this new featurette could answer some of your burning questions. I had a burning question once, but I got some ointment and it cleared up after a few weeks. Anyway, head past the break for a new behind the scenes featurette!

It follows Juliet Starling, a badass cheerleader who kicks zombie ass when she isn’t swooning over her boyfriend Nick. If the over-the-top action and outlandish cast of characters didn’t quite give you a good enough idea of just how awesomely bizarre this game is going to be, it’s eclectic mix of music should.

If that isn’t a formula for success, I don’t know what is. Enough about her, let’s shift our attention to the deliciously evil men and women that will stand in her way. Like any good hero, Juliet has a fair share of villains she’ll need to go up against, and I dare say Juliet’s enemies are the wackiest of them all.
