The highly anticipated Contra: Operation Galuga from WayForward and Konami is due out in March, and we finally know a little about the game's soundtrack as well. The album will be composed by and released by Yuko Komiyama and Norihiko Hibino and released on March 5, a week ahead of the game. To get gamers pumped, Konami has released an exciting soundtrack preview video.
Fans waited many years for Dead Island 2, the sequel to the classic first-person zombie killing game. This year, the game finally became a reality thanks to Dambuster Studios and Deep Silver. Teaming up with friends to battle the undead in 3-player online co-op is even more fun than before thanks to the well-written story, great graphics, and a killer soundtrack. That soundtrack is now available to buy and/or stream in a variety of platforms.
As the release of New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja fast approaches, things are looking good in the music department. The game itself is a gorgeous HD remake of the classic co-op action-platformer in which a pair of heroic cavemen battle evil cavemen and dinosaurs. Microids, New Joe & Mac's publisher, has recently launched its own record label, Microids Records, with the New Joe & Mac soundtrack among the label's first albums. Other freshly-released soundtracks include Syberia 2, Syberia 3, Arkanoid Eternal Battle, Horse Tales, and a Flashback tribute album.
We've been hyping both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (the game from Dotemu and Tribute Games) and its soundtrack album from Kid Katana Records. Hey, a high-quality 6-player beat 'em up starring the Ninja Turtles is a big deal! Well, dudes, the wait is finally over (if you're buying digitally), because TMNT: Shredder's Revenge is now available on consoles and PC, and you can buy the soundtrack on digital music storefronts too. Let's kick some shell!
Yes, dudes and dudettes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge will be launching on consoles and PC later this week. With the release date has come lots of news about the turtle brothers' newest adventure. Last week, for instance, we reported that a physical soundtrack release would be coming. Today, Kid Katana Records officially opened up preorders for three editions of the soundtrack. What's more, the Xbox version of Shredder's Revenge can finally be preordered (for gamers who won't be playing for free on Game Pass).
Since yesterday's release date announcement, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is practically all anybody is talking about around here. Shredder's Revenge is due out on consoles and PC next week! Digital preorders are supposed to go live soon (the delay is odd), but what about physical editions? Well, physical preorders have just opened up via Limited Run Games, Merge Games, and select retailers. There are seemingly miles and piles of physical editions to choose from, so we'll break them all down.
The HyperX Cloud II Wireless (released earlier this week) takes the successful Cloud II wired headset and makes it wireless! While I haven’t reviewed the wired Cloud II, the wireless version is extremely similar in form, matching in their adjustable aluminum frames, signature HyperX leatherette-encased memory foam padded headbands/earcups, le...
We're about two weeks away from Lo Wang's return in Shadow Warrior 2, and if you're in need of a little musical hype, then Devolver Digital, Flying Wild Hog, and rock legend Stan Bush have got you covered. You can pick up a special edition of the forthcoming title that not only includes the game, but a four track vinyl with Bush's vocals lovingly pressed into its grooves.
A solid soundtrack capturing the intensity of committing a crime is absolutely necessary when playing a game such as PAYDAY 2. Thankfully, the Crimewave Edition will have all the soundtrack features needed to keep a player's adrenaline pumping during the numerous stealth situations and intense firefights.
The second map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, titled "Uprising," was released a couple weeks back on the Xbox 360. This $15 pack included with it a new co-op mode, Mob of the Dead, that kept with the Black Ops zombie theme we've previously seen, but with an Italian twist this time around. Set in the 1920s on the well-known prison island of Alcatraz, players step into the role of one of four gangsters (each voiced by a famous celebrity) and try to fight their way out. Nasty traps, gnarly weapons, and plenty of barbed wire covered undead inmates lie in wait for you and your friends.
One of this week's Xbox Live Arcade releases, Blood Knights, has been mysteriously delayed at the last minute. Thankfully Might & Delight's puzzle platformer Pid is actually available now for XBLA, PSN, and Steam. I picked it up on XBLA, but the developer is now offering a special deal on the computer version that's definitely worth a look.
Double Dragon: Neon, the eighties-themed reimagining of the Double Dragon franchise is now available on both Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network. That's good! But publisher Majesco has revealed a bit of bad news at the last minute: the game only supports 2-player local co-op at launch. Don't worry, though - online co-op is "coming soon" in a post-release update. It's your basic Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light situation. Majesco probably should've announced the online co-op delay a little earlier so as not to mar news of the game's launch, but what's done is done.
