It's
a new week at News Pop!, and boy have we got some news today. It's
nice to come back after the weekend and have things to share. So,
let's get things started.
Moondance
Games releases Volume 2 of indie games pack
IG:
Independent Games Volume 2, published by Moondance Games, is set to
be released. The pack features over twenty independently developed
titles and seven different genres to play, including racing, arcade
and RPG. The games in the pack were picked from a selection of titles
from CMP Game Group's Independent Games Festival, held in conjunction
with the annual Game Developer's Conference. While developers such as
Ethereal Darkness Interactive or Hanako Games, whose games are
featured in Volume 2, might not be as well known as larger, more
popular developers, they also don't follow the mold that many large
developers constantly reuse for their games. IG: Independent Games
Volume 2 is currently available online at Amazon.com for $19.95 USD
and is set to release in retail stores soon.
Billy
& Mandy fight their way onto consoles
Midway
is ready to release The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy video
game for Playstation 2 and GameCube. The fighting game, which is also
set to release for the Wii and Game Boy Advance in November, is based
on the hit TV show from Cartoon Network. The Grim Adventures of Billy
& Mandy pits fifteen characters from the show against each other
in a variety of fully interactive, destructible environments. In
battle mode, up to four players can use weapons and battle to be the
last one standing, and in mission mode, players have the option to go
solo or play co-op in a series of 45 missions, allowing players to
unlock new weapons and characters. Pricing for The Grim Adventures of
Billy & Mandy is $29.99 USD.
Rockstar
and Team Bondi announce new crime thriller
Rockstar
took some time today to announce it will be publishing a new crime
thriller being developed by Team Bondi, based in Sydney, Australia,
called L.A. Noire. Set in the late 1940s, L.A. Noire is an
interactive detective story meant to blend action, detection gameplay
elements with complex storytelling in order to draw players into an
open-ended challenge to solve a series of murders. The story takes
place in Los Angeles in a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and
jazz. Since Rockstar is involved we can be sure there will be plenty
of drugs, guns and sex to go around, and a meticulously written,
character driven storyline that will fully immerse players in the
game. L.A. Noire is currently being developed for Playstation 3, and
for those interested, the trailer will be released on Oct. 5th
and can be seen at http://www.rockstargames.com/lanoire.
