For a game that had its debut almost a year and a half ago, Capcom is getting some impressive mileage out of its so-called "Western Shooter." Lost Planet: Colonies takes all the fancy-schamncy DirectX 10 treats in the original PC release, lumps in all the downloadable content and core game bits that were added later, and then heaps on a ton of extra content, all for one Alexander Hamilton (that's $10 for those that don't play presidential flash cards) less than the original price.
For that $30, you'll get something between a Director's Cut re-release and an expansion, meaning yes, there are more player models (11 in all, five of which are newly playable), more levels (four of 'em) and more weapons (again, four of 'em for humans, four more for the robotic Vital Suits), but the meat of what Colonies offers beyond that fancy new title is in the online play.
The entire Lost Planet series plus Resident Evil: Code Veronica X get Xbox One backward compatibility today.
Gamervision: "With about a quarter of the United States population buried in snow, there is an inordinate number of gamers at home right now. In between shoveling sessions, these gamers just might be looking for the perfect game to play to get their minds off the bitter cold barrage of frozen hell that continues to close schools and offices across the northeast. Fortunately, we at Gamervision have assembled a list of the perfect games to keep you warm during this winter lockdown, and we are perfectly qualified to do so; we're all wearing hawaiian shirts."
8 - Dante's Inferno
Hell may not be the most inviting place. In fact, by design, it's kind of the least inviting. It is, however, quite warm, and Dante's Inferno promises 8-10 hours of Stygian action, complete with plenty of searing flames. Ahhh, searing flames. Besides, if some recent reviews are any indication, people might need an excuse to play this game, anyway, so this one's as good as any.
Looks like my one snowday just turned into two. Hmmm, Wave Race 64 IS on virtual console.....
Kotaku Japan (via Google Translate) is reporting that Marcus and Dom from Gears of War are appearing in the Xbox 360 version of Lost Planet 2.
Well that's different.
What extra characters will the other versions feature, I wonder.
Not too odd. Remember the PS3 release of Lost Planet included Mega Man and Frank West among others.
Granted they were Capcom characters, but still, Marcus and Dom probably fit the style of the game a bit better.
For the PS3 version it'll likely be Sony owned characters. If Resistance or Killzone had better known characters I'd guess they would be likely. Kratos is always possible, but he doesn't seem like he'd fit the universe.
