EA Games released this trailer showing the Big Super Happy Fun Fun Land part of The Simpsons Game, but looks more like a parody of the Japanese culture and video games.



Well, let’s hope that the Japanese people have a good sense of humor, because this is really hilarious.

In this latest trailer we obviously can see Katamari Damacy spoofed.
Of course there is Mr. Sparkle as well as the anime-inspired cutscene, all surrounded by the pronounced English with Japanese accent, but… where are the games?!

“Work alongside the team at the Kellerman's resort, play through a fantastic variety of fun mini-games and earn camp dollars to purchase Dirty Dancing memorabilia, cabin furnishings, and the all-important dance lessons with Johnny and Penny. How will you fare in the end of season dance contest?”



This is the trailer of Dirty Dancing: The Game.

It is a new PC game developed by Say Design, “a leader in building rich gaming and Internet experience” and that (unfortunately) will be published by Codemasters. Big mistake!
The intention is to create an action movie-based puzzle game. (Now is when I start laughing.)

To learn how to dance, with a virtual Patrick Swayze?!
Where is the dancing in this game?

I hope it will never be released, for the Blockbuster movie’s image and for our nerves sake.

Now, seriously, what could be worse than this?

In preparation of the November 6 launch, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance just hit gold and it’s heading to the presses as we speak. Supreme Commander was released this spring, a real time strategy title developed by Chris Taylor and Gas Powered games for PC. The game is set in a future where humanity can quickly travel through the galaxy using the quantum tunnel, a portal torn from the fabric of space leading to designated locations light-years away. The standalone expansion features the introduction of the Seraphim as a fourth playable race. The UEF, Cybran and Aeon human skirmishers of the first installment are now forced in an alliance of convenience against the threat of alien invasion. A new single player campaign has been tailored to this end, providing the in-depth lore and history connections that were missing in the first title in a post Infinite War universe.

Unlike traditional RTS, Supreme Commander gained notoriety for its grand scale combat simulations. “Air, land and sea” became a trademark for the title, as you can control bomber squads, infantry robots and ships at the same time. They all have a role to play in the outcome of the battle as you can see in the gameplay trailer. The user interface overhaul has a direct impact on gameplay as the rough edges have been cast away. It’s more natural to have the resource bars bundled together, opposed to having them on the far end of the screen. New and more detailed textures make the Seraphim look flashier than the old races, but engine functionality has been improved, providing the combat field view while zooming out. Supreme Commander was never a micro fest so micromanagement of three armies and building reinforcements is the key to victory.

The Seraphim resemble the other races in terms of gameplay, at least until you reach Tech level 3. Out of the 80 new units that server under your banner, experimental T3 sniper bots stand out as an effective tool, being able to shoot down air units with high accuracy and great range. Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance serves up 10 new units to reinforce the ranks of former races, along with one new experimental unit each. Confirmed new units include the Cybran Brick, and Megalith - a new spider bot that is twice the size of the monkey lord. It is a mobile amphibious factory, sporting 12 torpedo launchers and large lasers. The UEF are blessed with the Sub-orb ital Defense System, a building that spits out satellites capable of relentlessly bombarding the enemy from orbit. The Aeon are confirmed to receive the sprite striker and Torrent, a new missile ship. They use new technology to increase production lines thanks to the Quantum Resource Generator. Insane amounts of mass and power are at their disposal with a subtle drawback: if it's taken down, the ensuing explosion will destroy everything around as well.

Trainz Railwayz is, as its title suggests, a train simulator for PC, specially created for those of you that like trains more than the majority of the people.
I personally am not attracted by this type of vehicle but of course, playing a simulator is something different.

<-234x60 Half Banner - left->This is not a new game, but a new version release scheduled on October 16, following Trainz Classics (Jun 24, 2007) and Trainz Railways (Sep 25, 2007).
Who would like to have such an experience like driving these big vehicles, is welcome to try.
I say it is worth.

This latest edition brings the most famous train routes in the world.

Here is a little info about the developer.
Auran Games is one of the biggest game studios from Australia, recognized as the Strategy Game of the Year 2007 award winner, and for its helping hand in the creation of Need for Speed Underground.
On the other hand, Merscom LLC is the game’s publisher, and is describing itself as a global publisher of casual games.

Trainz Railwayz is featuring intuitive 3D editing tools, ITrainz interactive network play and chat, improved heads-up display and session design options, computerized in-cab displays, freeways/multilane roads, headlight dimmer and flashing ditch-lights, flexible cab signaling system, train controlled sounds, lights and boom gates, and the new Trainz: Harlem Line Edition and Trainz: Metropolis Edition.

Unfortunately we’ll have to wait a bit more for the release because it has been probably postponed, while on the official website of the publisher, it says “Coming Soon”.

The House of Tales team, which also created The Moment of Silence, gave a psychological thriller theme to its Overclocked game, as you will see in the storyline.





<-125x125 Button - right->

It is about putting you in the role of the psychiatrist David Mc Namara who offered his services to the US army for a very long time, now struggling with its problems both on the personal and health levels of his life.
He is suffering from strong choleric attacks while his marriage is in crisis.



It didn’t pass to much time until he is called to New York, at the Staten Island Forensic Hospital for his expertise in forensic psychiatry, in order to study and find out what made five young men and women to be found screaming and scared like hell, with memory and orientation loss.
While exploring its patients’ memories, he makes serious discoveries.

What’s more special at this game, is the order in which the players, in the role of the psychiatrist, are exploring his memories, and this happens in backward chronological order.



Playing Overclocked you have the opportunity to experience a controversial story surrounding 45 locations, 6 playable characters, and 5,000 lines of dialogue, a unique narrative approach, real-time particle FX, shadows and shader FX, dynamic lighting effects, facial expressions with Emotion FX 2, and the innovative dialogue system.

The demo is finally available for download.
