Namco Bandai are working on a next-gen iteration of Splatterhouse - which was not only the first survival horror game ever, but the first game to have a parental advisory sticker slapped on the cover.
According to industry insider Surfer Girl, the game will be developed by BottleRocket Entertainment.
EGM has an exclusive preview of the game ready for their June issue, so stay tuned.
The video game adaptation of the Japanese anime series Afro Samurai, featuring cult hero Samuel L. Jackson, looks to be off to a great start. I love the stylized gore, and the Shinobi-esque death sequences for chopped up enemies - I just hope it doesn’t get cut from the Australian release.

Midway have unveiled their plans to take a bite out of Rockstar’s bread and butter, with their open-world “lifestyle action experience” This is Vegas. Click the pic for a gallery showing off the fighting, gambling, racing and partying we can expect from the game. I can’t wait to see how far they elaborate on the partying aspect.

Independent Bulgarian devs Masthead Studios have announced their debut MMO Earthrise. The sci-fi title is built on Masthead’s proprietary game engine and platform, and judging by the screenshots and artwork on their website, is going to be a polished product indeed.
As far as the sci-fi theme goes, it appears to have checked all the right boxes: a post-apocalyptic setting, corporate-driven totalitarian governments seeking to create a utopia and some mention of DNA and clones.
Earthrise’s creators promise that “This will change the way we play sci-fi MMO’s”. Quite possibly they’re referring to the high degree of control bestowed upon the player, allowing themselves to manipulate economies and technology, essentially shaping the society within which they play. While such a claim is enough to get us all interested, we will have to wait till 2009 to see if it is accurate.
