I am really liking what I am seeing coming out of Russian publisher Buka. First they reveal the human hunting game The Hunt, the very concept of which gives me chills, and now they unleash The Swarm, a 3rd person action adventure title that places you as a survivor of an alien invasion in post-apocalyptic Moscow. Start off as a normal human who slowly assimilates alien abilities and characteristics, becoming something entirely different and infinitely more dangerous. The game promises huge aliens and an eerily accurate modelling of Moscow in demolished form. With two intriguing game concepts announced in the span of a week, Buka looks to be coming out in a big way. They’ve definitely got my attention.
For those of you who like to be inundated with box art for your hard earned cash, Sam and Max Season 1 has just shipped to retailers across the US. In addition to the game, the material version will include a Sam and Max poster and bonus disc with behind the scenes content.
So for $US29.99, you can get Sam and Max goodies and further piss off your spouse by littering your mahogany-covered living room with more florescent packaging. It’s like a 2-for-1 sale and your couples counsellor is invited!
