GC ‘07 - Warhound impressions

August 23rd, 2007

I caught up with Pawel Kopinski from Techland today at GC for a sneak-peek at their upcoming mercenary first-person shooter, Warhound. While it’s absolutely packed with features, the main selling point of Warhound is the freedom of choice. Players can attack each level how they see fit - go in with all guns blazing, or opt for the stealthy approach - a welcome change from titles that force you to take one method throughout the entire game.

GC ‘07 - Dead Island Video Preview

August 23rd, 2007

Dead Island is sure to be a gory delight for Xbox 360 and PC gamers, with amazing damage modeling promising plenty of torn flesh, exposed muscle and broken bones.

While what we’ve been shown of the game so far seems to tread awfully close to Capcom’s Dead Rising in more than just name, I’m pretty sure Capcom will be the only people on earth who care about that. After all, it’s not as if Dead Rising itself wasn’t entirely derivative of the movie Dawn of the Dead - yet we ate it up and asked for more.
