Resident Evil: Revelations HD DLC isn’t so bad

Jenni Lada — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:17:38 +0000

Ah Capcom, we will never tire of your attempt to keep cashing in on every game you ever sell. Your DLC practices can be questionable, at times, but at least you aren’t going overboard with the Resident Evil: Revelations HD add-ons. The entire DLC run for the 3DS remake has appeared and it really isn’t as bad as it could have been. In fact, the Resident Evil: Revelations HD DLC is downright conservative.

There will be five add-on packs for Resident Evil:…

Preview: Plants vs Zombies Adventures

The Plants vs Zombies Adventures beta has begun! EA and PopCap decided to capitalize on the success of Plants vs. Zombies and social networking sites to bring a spin-off of one of the best tower defense games to the masses. While the beta is naturally geared towards making progression easy and doesn’t feature constant wallet grabbing (yet), I have to say I’m honestly impressed with the app so far. I got a beta invite via my mom, who plays every Facebook game ever, and decided to talk about my first hour with the game.

Plants vs Zombies Adventures begins with Crazy Dave. The two of you are in an RV in the Boonies, one of the Road Trip areas. He says zombies are coming and briefly launches into a tutorial. Zombies, be they in Road Trip level areas or in surprise town attacks, will walk along a set path from their graves to the RV, as in any respectable tower defense game. Plants are placed along the route to halt their advance. As usual, Sunflower just sits looking pretty and providing sun and a Wall-nut occupies a plot on the path, but plants like the Peashooter and new Aspearagus have ranges. If a zombie walks into their area of attack, they’ll start attacking. The goal is to protect the RV until all the waves of zombies are complete.

As I went through the first…

Papers, Please makes working as an immigration inspector fun

Jeremy Hill — Wed, 15 May 2013 01:30:59 +0000

Imagine living in a fictional version of Eastern Europe in the 1980s. One day, you’re chosen to become an immigration inspector at the Greslin Border Checkpoint between Kolechia and Arstotzka. With little money (or choice) you’re forced to move your family into an apartment and begin your new job with nothing to guide you but a list of rules and a book of guidelines. This is the premise for Papers, Please.

Papers, Please was developed by Lucas Pope. The game recently greenlit on Steam and will be released at some point this summer. A portion of the game is available in beta…

It is happening, just as I had foretold! Well, not really, though I have always said that World of Warcraft is the only MMORPG that can get away with charging a subscription fee. The news that Trion Worlds is making RIFT a free-to-play game supports that assertion, I suppose. The news just came today that RIFT subscriptions will be a thing of the past starting June 12, 2013. From there, absolutely everything will be free.

What’s nice about the RIFT free-to-play move is that there isn’t any difference between what RIFT subscribers, buyers or free-to-players can enjoy. Everyone can access the same areas,…
