Just announced from Warner Brothers and Monolith Productions is Gotham City Impostors. The most interesting part, is that it is going to be a first person shooter. The game will revolve around Gotham City as it is being fought over for control.

In the game you’ll be a character customized to your own specifications, but you will actually be posing as amateur villains. So far it sounds like it will be a 1st person multiplayer shooter based on Batman. Massive person and character customization. It will also have maps and modes inspired by Batman. Sounds pretty awesome! READ MORE

Dead Block looks like Home Alone with zombies in it as you and some friends are trapped in a building that’s being steadily overrun by the cartoonish undead. Your only defense seems to be an unhealthy number of sandwiches, guns and the ability to set up elaborate traps throughout the building to help dispose of the oncoming horde of flesh-hungry zombies.

You and your friends can choose from a few different characters including the food friendly boyscout Mike, Jack the construction worker and Foxy the traffic warden. Dead Block takes place in the 1950′s and brings with it ten single-player levels, eight cooperative levels and a whole lot of ways to slay the unsuspecting undead. READ MORE

Now that the PS3 is nearing a full month (25 days to be more exact) without online functionality Sony has released a firmware update for the PlayStation 3. This update is a very important step toward bringing the PSN back online. Firmware update 3.61 will let you update your PSN passcode, in fact, you’re required to change it with this update, though I’m sure most of you are more than willing to, especially if you use the same passcode for multiple accounts.

In case you’ve been living under a particularly large rock or simply don’t own a PS3 you might not be aware that Sony’s been having some issues with the PlayStation Network. Since the 20th the entire PSN as well as Sony’s Qriocity service have been down while Sony works on completely rebuilding their network infrastructure after a massive security breach. Sony hasn’t had the best relationship with hackers, and their lawsuit against hacker Geohot “forced” a group of Hacktivists called Anonymous to call virtual war on them. Now, is it just me or is this whole thing starting to sound like the basis for a bad direct-to-DVD sci-fi movie?

Not only did this debacle potentially cost Sony billions it also successfully removed much of the trust of many PS3 users and the developers who support Sony’s platform. One developer has even stated an online survey to decide on whether or not they should publish their game on PSN. If you’re a disgruntled PS3 owner looking for a little somethin’ somethin’ for your offline woes, Sony’s finally let us know what they’re doing to try an remedy the situation.

For those who don’t already know, a little over a week ago the Playstation Network was hacked. What does that mean for you? Well the hackers now have all of your information. Whatever payment device you use to make your PSN purchases, your name, address, all that good stuff. They now have it.

So, keep an eye on that credit or debit card, maybe even consider canceling it, or asking for a card number change. Sony is now (finally) deciding to beef up their security. You can read about it HERE, and look below the article in the “see also” area for connecting articles. (A QUICK UPDATE FROM THE SEXY ADAM DODD) While our personal info was taken when PSN was hacked, all credit card info was encrypted. So while it’s still possible for hackers to find a way to get it, you probably don’t need to cancel your cards.

When it first released on XBLA last September Hydrophobia wasn’t met with much love. Other than the water physics the game didn’t look very good and there were quite a few technical issues on top of that. Fortunately, developer Dark Energy genuinely wants gamers to try their game, so they’ve taken a look at all the feedback and are working on releasing the ultimate version of the game, dubbed Hydrophobia Prophecy. Apparently, upwards of 70% of the game has been reworked including new game models, tweaked combat, technical fixes and even a new ending.

0 Hydrophobia Gets A Much Needed Makeover

So far Prophecy has only been announced for Steam and PSN, with the game coming out for the latter on May 9th. No word yet on when, or if, Xbox owners will get a taste of the heavily modified game, but I sincerely hope they do. Head past the break for the game’s debut trailer and a bunch of wet ‘n wild screenshots. READ MORE

Update: Just to clarify, this was an April Fool’s Day joke (As if you didn’t know this already).

Capcom is smart. Maybe too smart. There has been a TON of Resident Evil news, and games being announced lately. The masses have been happy and mad about the announcements, but that seems to be the way with anything these days. Thanks to the internet, everyone has a “voice”. What does that mean? Everyone now has a pair of big ol’ hairy balls connected to their fingers so they can say whatever they want.

reo The Resident Evil: Outbreak Twins Announced For The PSN And XBLA

But I’m getting off subject. It would seem since the announcement of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City has gotten such a great response, that Capcom decided that Resident Evil Outbreak, and Outbreak File 2 have been announced for the Playstation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade. Not just ported over, but just like RE4 and Code V, remastered in HD. I can’t express my excitement just through words. I’ve been wanting this for YEARS. I asked for it so many times on the Dead Pixels Podcast, finally! READ MORE

Update: Just to clarify, this was an April Fool’s Day joke (As if you didn’t know this already).

Remember that multiplayer Silent Hill we talked about a few weeks back? Well, we finally have some details on the game gamers seem pretty split on. It’s called Silent Hill: Eternal Bonds, and it follows a family that travels to Silent Hill for their family vacation. Pro tip: If you’re planning a family vacation or road trip with your friends there are a few towns you should definitely skip, including but not limited to Silent Hill, Raccoon City, Greenvale and Ravenholm, just to name a few.

SilentHill Play Silent Hill With Your Friends in Eternal Bonds

As you no doubt predicted, the family finds a slew of unexpected surprises when they reach the foggy town resort. There will be four playable characters, the parents and their two teenage kids (a boy and girl). The press release made it sound like the game could be exclusive to the XBLA but we’ll confirm that before we go and freak out any PS3 fans. What we do know is it’s due out this winter. A multiplayer Silent Hill? Could be good, but it could also suck horribly. Thoughts? Predictions? Should this be the next game TJ and I cover in the next Premature Evaluation? READ MORE

Everyone’s favorite bloodthirsty femme fatale is making a long-anticipated return in the upcoming Bloodrayne: Betrayal for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Unlike previous games in the series Betrayal will be a side-scrolling arcade adventure but it’s the “Rayne teams up with a mysterious new friend” bit that has me a little excited. Could some sort of cooperative option be included? I sure hope so.

The trailer’s not terribly exciting, shows no gameplay and is painfully brief but that shouldn’t keep you from getting excited for another dose of Dhampir action when the game releases this summer. READ MORE

Hot off the heels of The 3rd Birthday’s April 1st release date we’re finally getting the long awaited confirmation of the original Parasite Eve’s release. A few weeks before the highly anticipated followup hits store shelves the game that started it all will be available on the PSN. So if you missed the original or want to get caught up on the goings on in Aya Brea’s busy life, I definitely suggest you check it out for a paltry $5.99.

Banner Parasite Eve Infects the PSN Tomorrow

Parasite Eve is a survival horror RPG that’s based in New York in 1997 and follows the story of new NYPD recruit Aya Brea who has to contend with monsters and spontaneously combusting people. Sure, there’s a bit of dialogue and action here and there but that’s pretty much the gist of it. The 3rd Birthday isn’t the Parasite Eve 3 we’ve all been begging for since the second game released a decade ago but it’s not a direct followup to the main series though it does still follow longtime protagonist Aya. Head past the jump for some new action-packed 3rd Birthday screens. READ MORE

Well you play as Lana, who while infected, has not yet turned flesh hungry. Amy, carries a strange power that keeps Lana from going full on monster, so you must keep her alive. It is supposed to come out later this year exclusively for the Playstation Network, but I want it NOW. You can check out one more new screen past the break.
