We have for you today an interesting developer diary on the upcoming Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. This game is going be awesome and if you had the delight to play the original Alan Wake, which is an exclusive series to the XBOX 360 you will probably agree. For an XBOX Live title it seems like the good folks over at Remedy Games have really worked hard at making a new story and a better game. Watch the video up top and look for Alan Wake’s American Nightmare on February 22, 2012.
It seems like music games are becoming more common these days with Konami jumping on the music game wagon. The game that Konami will be bringing to the table is “Rhythm Party” and it will look similar to the Just Dance series of games by Ubisoft, but as of now this game is for Kinect only. Since this is a first for the developer, they are probably trying to test the waters on dancing & music games. If things go well they might bring this game to the Nintendo Wii/U and the Playstation Move. Below you can see the track list of the game.
Not the best track list to dance to, but maybe some DLC will become available some time in the future. You can expect Rhythm Party for the XBOX 360 via XBL Arcade on February 1, 2012. For now check out take a look at the trailer and track list up top.
For those of you out there that are interested in testing out Syndicate before actually buying you should know that your prayers have been answered. According to our sources the demo will be available in the North American PSN Store & XBL on January 31st. European PSN and XBL users will have to wait one day to get theirs hands on the 4 Player Co-Op demo. Be sure to check it out as it will help you make a decision on whether or not you want to spend your hard earned dollars on the full game.
If you are a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Elite subscriber you will probably be interested to know that the first downloadable content pack will become available on January 24, 2012. This DLC will first come out on XBL as usual and then eventually to the Playstation 3 via PSN. This news comes from Infinity Ward’s Creative strategist Robert Bowling, who said the following
“full season of content for Modern Warfare 3 kicks off for Elite subscribers January 24th on Xbox Live.”
It will be interesting to see what Infinity Ward is bringing to the table and let’s hope for the best, but it would be nice if Activision would make this dlc available on both xbl and psn at the same time.
At the start of next year, Xbox 360 users will no longer be able to purchase guns for their virtual Xbox avatars.
Epic Games’ community manager “raczilla” revealed this over at Epic’s forums saying that a new policy will take place on Jan. 1, 2012 that will prohibit the sale of “gun-like avatar items” on Xbox Live’s Marketplace. So guns like the Lancer and Hammerburst from the Gears of War series will unfortunately be gone in five days.
The good news, though, is that you can keep any gun that’s been purchased before Jan. 1, so there’s still time for your avatar to get their virtual hands on a firearm. As for me, I think I’ll just contentedly stick with my dual lightsabers (sword > gun).
