Black Knight Sword to see release on XBLA next week
When Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture teamed up for Sine Mora, the results were something special. I'm hopeful the duo can pull out another solid release with Black Knight Sword, debuting very soon on Xbox Live Arcade: December 12, 2012. Either I've lost track of the game, or there hasn't been a whole lot said about it from either studio. Although this is probably more of a niche title, there's some cause for concern in that respect. Maurice once compared it to Strider on acid which, combined with the art style, seems like it could be frightening. Seems worth a look, regardless.

12:00 PM on 05.18.2013 Preview: The Last of UsI was skeptical of The Last of Us. Despite all the hype and high promises, to me, it looked like post-apocalyptic Uncharted. I wasn't sold on the dynamic nature of how the game progressed, and as we all know, zombies have been literally done to death in the past five years. Then, I got a chance to actually play it. How many days until June 14th again?

As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
