  • Take a Road Trip Through Hell in EA and Grasshopper Manufacture's Psycho-Punk Action Thriller Shadows of the Damned
    Take a Road Trip Through Hell in EA and Grasshopper Manufacture's Psycho-Punk Action Thriller Shadows of the Damned REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and legendary Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture today announced that Shadows of the Damned™ is now available at retail stores across North America. Created by renowned developers Suda51 (director of No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (director of Resident Evil) and music composer Akira Yamaoka (sound director of Silent Hill), Shadows of the Damned combines visceral, grindhouse-style action with a psychologically twisted setting to provide a truly one-of-a-kind vision of hell, and is already receiving worldwide critical acclaim, with Game Informer giving it 9.25 out and 10, stating "Shadows of the Damned is a road trip to Hell well worth taking." GamesMaster UK also says that the game is "a kitsch, punk rock and roll assault on the senses," scoring it 90% out of 100%. Heavily influenced by grindhouse-style projects, Shadows of the Damned takes gamers on a demented journey through a tortured underworld where death and destruction are around every corner. Playing as professional demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, gamers must harness the power of the light to save Paula — the love of his life — from the Lord of Demons. Manipulating this balance of light versus dark gameplay in different settings and scenarios, gamers can discover new ways to defeat vicious enemies and solve mind-boggling puzzles. Along this hellish adventure, players will be aided by Johnson, a former demon with the ability to transform into an arsenal of upgradeable, supernatural weapons, giving Garcia the power to rip apart the forces of the damned and ultimately protect what he loves most.

  • Killer Is Dead Review – Let Me Play Already Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 Tell a Long Story About Nothing
    NEWS FEATURES PLATFORMS VIDEOS UPCOMING GAMES GUIDES AUGUST 30, 2013 Search Killer Is Dead Review – Let Me Play Already Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 tell a long story about nothing. Andrea Castellano / Features / Reviews / At the very least, Grasshopper Manufacture creates game worlds where the phrase, “I stayed on the moon last week,” casually leads to all people listening to nods their heads in understanding. Killer Is Dead fails to portray the token weirdness of previous Grasshopper games, and when that realization dawns, the shifted focus on gameplay and story quickly exposes the game’s တԀaws. Despite its short length, Killer Is Dead still manages to eတāectively waste your time with seemingly endless, pointless cutscenes and too infrequent moments of play. Mondo Zappa works for a government funded assassination agency where he carries out contracts killing local trouble makers. With his Genkkou Katana and robotic left arm called the Musselback, Mondo easily dispatches enemies with plenty of time left for the ladies. Like most Grasshopper games, Killer Is Dead injects themes of sexuality all throughout the game. While the amount of cleavage shots and sex jokes doesn’t even compare to the total found in games like No More Heroes or Lollipop Chainsaw, this time Grasshopper and Suda 51 opted for the creepier, more sexist Gigolo missions to get their perversion across. The Gigolo missions place Mondo on a date with a female friend. With the goal of heading to the bedroom established early, when she looks away, you must stare at your date’s naughty parts to raise your Guts meter.

  • Week 2: Game Theory // History & Origins // Industry Stats
    NMED 3300(A) // Theory and Aesthetics of Digital Games Friday Genre Discussions / Play Sessions Schedule, Spring 2016 Mondays and Wednesdays will consist of lectures. Fridays will be broken into two sessions. The first will take place in W866 where we will discuss particular genres and look at select examples. The second session will take place in W560 and will consist of hands-on gameplay (1 hour) of the games covered earlier in class. Some Rules for W560 Usage: 1. Please be considerate of others in the lab and those working in adjacent offices/classrooms by keeping noise to a minimum, 2. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in W560, except water if it is contained in a non-spillable container (with a screw-top or sealable cap) 3. Only students with official access are allowed in these labs (you cannot bring friends into the lab, sorry), 4. Please be gentle with equipment, consoles, and peripherals as a lot of the equipment is David’s personal property and much of the equipment is old and getting more difficult (if not impossible) to replace. 5. Finally, do not leave discs in consoles and make sure consoles and televisions are turned off when you are finished and that the area where you were working is clean and tidy. Notes on Gameplay Sessions in W560: Please keep the volume of the monitors and verbalizations to a minimum. Have a look at each of the games listed for that week’s gameplay sessions by consulting reviews/criticism, gameplay video, screenshots. As many games are released on multiple platforms and are often emulated, make sure you are viewing information for the correct version (platform, year).
