Red 5 announces FireFall for PC, lets you shoot bugs screenshot

Red 5 Studios announced today a new team-based shooter, FireFall, due to be released some time in 2011. And it has bugs. Nasty, disgusting bugs. I can only assume that they must all die.

The game is being developed by a team made up of designers from the Tribes series and the lead designer of World of Warcraft. Quite appropriately, the game is a mixture of the design philosophies of these two series: take a dude shooting stuff and toss him online shooting at stuff with a ton of other people. While the game is being described as a massively multiplayer game, it will not carry a monthly subscription, instead relying on in-game transactions to keep it going.

There's a hell of a lot going on in that gameplay video: resource gathering, jetpacking, and even some air travel. If all of this is done right, this could be a damn fine 2011 release. I never could get into the Tribes games, but I'm all in for FireFall.

Swords & Soldiers also headed to PC screenshot

Following the announcement that it would be bringing Swords & Soldiers to PlayStation Network, indie developer Ronimo Games has revealed that it's coming to PC as well.

The PC version of the game will ship with all of the features you'll find on PSN, including online leaderboards, crisp "HD" graphics, along with a new soundtrack. Additionally, PC owners will get the benefit of Steam Achievements as well as a cursor-based mechanic. Because, you know, PCs use mice.

Swords & Soldiers was originally released on WiiWare, and took advantage of the Wii's motion control and pointer mechanics. The PS3 version of the game will feature a dual analog scheme, but Ronimo is mum on PlayStation Move support.

PAX: See the blinding TRON: Evolution in action

PAX: See the blinding TRON: Evolution in action screenshot

Who needs to be at PAX? We're bringing it to you! Disney is letting PAX Prime goers go hands on with its upcoming title TRON: Evolution, allowing them to get a taste of the game's free-running, combat, and the light cycle in action.

While this doesn't quite match playing it, we've got a video of the game in action for you to watch in the comfort of your chair. If you're standing, sit down. I can't imagine why you'd be standing up and reading this though, unless it's on your phone, and chances are you can't watch this video anyhow.

The demo at PAX is the same thing I played pre-E3, and while it showed promise (I had fun with the combat, based on Capoeira) , but need a bit of polishing. If you did attend PAX (or you're there now -- why are you reading this?), then let me know what you think of the game. It's out for PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 on December 7, a few weeks before the film, TRON: Legacy, hits theaters.

Betting On Duke Nukem Forever May
Eventually Pay Off

The notorious Duke Nukem Forever nearly dropped into oblivion this year after being in development since 1997, but today's announcement that it was been rescued by Gearbox Software (recently famous for Borderlands) shows that as it turns out, you really should always bet on Duke. A new trailer is making the rounds (such as right above, for instance) giving us our first look at the game since I believe E3 2000 (although it's not exactly the same game anymore). Moreover,...

Pee, lift weights, shoot hoops in Duke Nukem
Forever

Pee, lift weights, shoot hoops in Duke Nukem Forever screenshot

I didn't ever really expect to be playing Duke Nukem Forever. But in my dreams, when I did, I was just shooting, kicking ass, and complaining about how I was all out of bubblegum. Gearbox has other ideas.

In the opening moments of the Duke Nukem Forever demo, playable to the public at PAX this weekend, Duke Nukem takes a leak. What's more, you press a button in order to make him pee. But the level of interactivity with Duke and his world doesn't stop there. As Duke you'll also be able to play basketball, pump iron, read "adult magazines," and even draw nasty messages on white boards. Oh, and drool over half-naked women... how very Duke Nukem of you.

Yeah, all of that shooting and kicking ass I'd dreamed about, it seems we'll get it in 2011 when the game ships for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. We'll be able to do it all over, too, from the Vegas Strip to the Hoover Dam.

I had come to accept that Duke Nukem Forever would have to live only in my dreams. But learning that it's a game where I can both play basketball and take a leak (eat that NBA Elite 11!), well, it can't come soon enough.
