Quick Look: Clash in the Clouds

So at 8 am today, we finally got some details for the much belated Bioshock: Infinite DLC as promised by the day 1 season pass.  Turns out it's pretty cool.  To start with, we get a wave attack mode called Clash in the Clouds, featuring interesting challenges and extra unlockable goodies like concept art and models.

Later, at some unspecified date, we'll be dipping our toes back into the water with a return to Rapture.  The 2nd and 3rd DLC packs will be a 2-part story called "Burial at Sea" featuring alternate takes on both Booker and Elizabeth, with Liz actually being playable in the 2nd pack.

For today however, DJ and I take a first look at Clash in the Clouds and judge it it's worth your $5.

Check out the trailers for both DLC's here:

GameDocs: Tetris - A Perfect Game?

One thing that I love thats taken popularity of late is various sort of documentary looks of current and older video games, whether they be nostalgic looks back or historical deconstructions of franchises.  Today we have a short (but insightful) look at the classic Tetris and a closer look at what makes it work.  Matthewmatosis has a lot of other long looks at some franchises that are also worth checking out, including Metal Gear Solid and The Legend of Zelda.

A Tale of Three Thieves

Fans of GTA finally get to see one of the most hyped features for the up and coming fifth installment of the franchise.  The much talked about real-time character swapping system gets featured heavily in this new trailer, along with a great deal of other details about the city, side activities, and main mission structure, paradoxically presented by a calm, almost soothing voice.  GTA titles usually end up being crazy ambitious ventures, and this one looks to be no exception.

Lookin' Good - Champs: Battleground

MOBA's have become the new MMO for a lot of dev's when it comes to looking at what might be popular in the future.  Both DOTA and League of Legends have shown that this genre of game is not only popular but also wildly profitable as well.  Not surprisingly, a lot of devs also want to try to breakout the MOBA genre onto mobile and tablet platforms with games such as Solstice Arena and Arena of Heroes, with varying degrees of success.  For my money right now though, adding a dash of of Final Fantasy Tactics to the mix is making Champs: Battleground look like something worth getting in to.  Check out this build demo from IGN.
