The GamesCom trailer for Warner Bros’ The Lord of the Rings: War in the North fulfils the unwritten rule that every Lord of the Rings video-game trailer end with a troll busting through a door.
Old school gameplay gets an upgrade this week on Xbox Live Arcade, as Snowblind Studios releases Death Tank, a shiny new take on the classic tank-on-tank angle shooter.
Warner Bros. today continued their push into the video game market, buying Snowblind Studios, the development studio behind Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath.
We may have gotten wind of it a bit early, but it’s always nice to back things up with an official announcement. Snowblind Studios, Inc. and Flat Games LLC have proudly announced Death Tank for Xbox Live Arcade, a classic game of tanks and trajectories redone with that special XBLA flair. People like to compare it to Worms, but I like to go back a bit further and compare it to an old addiction of mine, Scorched Earth, only with powerups, particle effects, and 8-player multiplayer via Xbox Live (4-players locally). We’ve got screens, a debut video after the jump, but no word on when it’s coming out. Can’t possibly be soon enough in my book. This is gaming right here.
