The latest to join the ever growing list is Spirit of Wandering: The Legend, a game originally developed for PC by Playrix Entertainment.Spirit of Wandering – The Legend follows the tale of a female pirate captain who loses her crew – including Jack, the love of her life – during an attack by the infamous ghos...

Move over Joe Danger, there's a new stunt sherrif in town with this week's Chillingo Thursday and a couple of neato releases for your iPhone. It will probably help if you read this article in the dulcet tones of Dave Lamb. Or it may not. It's entirely up to you but here goes. So Stunt Hamsters you say? Step forward Hank Hazard. He's small, dewy eyed, furry and the star of Red Rocket Games' clever little puzzle-come-race game. Swiftly blast through each of the levels in your...

Capcom releases first official Resident Evil 6 trailer

Resident Evil 5 was something of a departure for the RE series. While the hugely popular 4th instalment brought action to the fore, stylishly combining controlled gunplay with the series' trademark creepiness, the most recent offering focused perhaps a little too much on the action. With way too many quicktime events and action set-pieces diluting the quality of the overall experience, it left a bitter taste in the mouth of many of the series' traditionalists. All of which ...

Well, well, well. Looks like the mentalists that signed up for the premium version of Activision, Infinity Ward et al's Call of Duty: Elite subscription service for Modern Warfare 3 on launch day, finally have something to crow about as the first batch of downloadable content hit the Xbox 360 today. A mere two months after the game's initial release. With only two new multiplayer maps: Piazza and Liberation, at first glance it appears a stingy offering, but with Ac...

Then piles on the love with some stunning and innovative gameplay. Don't believe me? Check out the trailer below where you can see Vessel's eponymous hero M. Arkwright squirting his way through various puzzle-based levels. Lovely isn't it. More information over at the superb ...

New Tony Hawk HD screens show old levels in stunning HD detail

I'll readily admit that I'm stupidly excited about the upcoming XBLA Tony Hawk HD remake. So stupidly excited that I'm gobbling up every new bit of information on the game as soon as it appears. Kotaku has published a bunch of new screens from the upcoming Activision game, and they show off some of the best "old" levels from the series, buffed up to a high sheen in the all new game engine. The school and the warehouse are in evidence in the screenshots and bot...

The Darkness II Demo Impressions - Xbox 360 Version Tested

When it was announced that Starbreeze Studios had passed on development duties of The Darkness II to Digital Extremes, I was a tad disappointed. Starbreeze seemed to tap directly into the collective consciousness of fans of Top Cow's superb comic series "The Darkness". The result, a fantastic game that went beyond just providing a box-ticking exercise in knocking up a first person shooter based around Jackie Estacado's antics. Dark, twisted, disturbing and visceral. These ar...

Tequila Works are a collective with a whole bucketload of game experience, with various members of the Madrid-based studio having worked on games as diverse as Motorstorm, Diablo III, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Heavy Rain and Overlord II. The collective have been signed to Microsoft Game Studios as publisher for their upcoming XBLA game Deadlight. Set in a post-apocalyptic zombie-filled Canada, this side scroller looks absolutely stunning. You can watch the teas...

Another week and it’s time to get those magnifying glasses and night vision goggles out again as G5 Entertainment are back with their latest hidden object game. Originally developed by Awem Studio for PC, Letters from Nowhere follows the story of Audrey in the search for her missing husband. Worried about his sudden and mysterious disappearance (and seemingly not being one for going out on an all night bender), she immediately races to the police, who are less than helpful. Then she beg...

Levine bigs up Bioshock Infinite's old-skool-gamer friendly 1999 Mode

Ken Levine of Irrational Games is the sort of lead you want on development of a triple A blockbuster. A passionate gamer himself, and a producer who believes that fans and forums are as important to a game's development as a bunch of focus-group kiddies with red specs, he's the force behind Bioshock Infinite's "1999 Mode". You'll understand the reference if you long for a time when games were challenging, and lasted longer than a crappy 6 hour shark-jumping single player c...

Laughing Jackal's latest PSN mini follows the tradition of so many Learn To Fly-like flash games and tasks you with flinging your little spaceship as far as possible around the planets of our solar system. Like many other games of its ilk, the basic idea is to gain money by flying as far as possible and use the earned money to buy upgrades that allow you to fly a little further, earn a little more money and eventually circumnavigate the whole planet and move on to the next planet. On each pl...

Game outs Need for Speed 13 on Twitter, Criterion rumoured to be developing

Retailer GAME got all mouthy on Twitter yesterday, accidentally revealing the existence of the next Assassins Creed game - and the previously unannounced Need for Speed Next - Need for Speed 13 (which will undoubtedly have a pretentious subtitle slapped all over it before release later on this year). If the rumours are true, Criterion are once again handling development duties on the next NFS game (hoo bloody ray, now will someone put Black Box back where they belong - working o...
