Drew Leachman writes: Last year, PlayStation 3 owners got their hands on the zombie killing shoot em up Dead Nation. I really enjoyed the over-the-top action game back in its release. Thanks to the new Road of Devastation DLC, we have a new reason to get back into the post-apocalyptic world to massacre hundreds more undead.
There isn't a shortage of quality twin-stick shooters on PS4, but if you're after the best, here's a list of them. Why not play them with a friend?
The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play
Housemarque is famed for its downloadable console games including Super Stardust, Dead Nation, Alienation, PS4 launch title Resogun and now Nex Machina. The veteran Finnish developer has made a name for itself crafting, precise, polished, technically accomplished and visually striking titles in publishing partnership with Sony.
With its latest title, Nex Machina, launching for both PS4 and PC, Housemarque is taking its first step into self-publishing. Working in collaboration with pioneering developer Eugene Jarvis, who created arcade classics such as Defender, Robotron: 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina represents both a refinement and evolution of Housemarque's design principles, as well as an opportunity for the developer to directly benefit from establishing and retaining its own IP.
Here, Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen and head of publishing Mikael Haveri discuss how the decision to self-publish has led to greater autonomy, a collaboration with Eugene Jarvis and how a game titled "Death Machine" could mean a new lease of life for the company.
Scared of playing horror games by yourself? Here are 7 scary games that you can play with a buddy. Pee your pants together.
This DLC is actually amazingly fun, and well worth the $4. The breakdown in this review is nice and I too have been disheartened upon reaching round 7 only to die and have to start over, but it's also a lot of fun having a challenge there.
Hands-down the best part about this though is bringing a buddy with you to play this co-op (this was also my favorite aspect about the main game content). The added respawn chambers make the absurdly hard rounds much more balanced, and you definitely get a few laughs when things start getting overly crazy. The other thing I really was into, was the new "grenade", the anti-personnel turret. That this is a beast, helps to add yet another strategy element into planning your defenses/offenses, and is a lot of fun to watch. The whole DLC is really about properly planning which upgrades are more or less important, and when to go after each, so as I said, a lot of fun and good challenge provided here.
