Whoa, talking skull heads on a stick? That’s putting it mildly, as the team of Grasshopper Manufacture have cooked up some more craziness for their newest game coming from EA, Shadows of the Damned. The game development team at Grasshopper Manufacture includes Suda51 (No More Heroes director), creative producer Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil director) and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill sound director). In Shadows of the Damned, players take the role of a leather-clad demon hunter out to rescue the love of his life.

About Shadows of the Damned, from EA:
“In Shadows of the Damned, gamers will assume the role of Garcia, a hard-as-nails, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding professional demon hunter who finds his true love kidnapped by vengeance-seeking demons. As he explores the farthest reaches of the netherworld, Garcia battles through hell and back, with danger and turmoil around every corner. Throughout Shadows of the Damned gamers will find themselves challenged by demented puzzles and thrust into gruesome battles with vile and deformed creatures that can only come from the darkest recesses of hell. The game features a grotesque, highly stylized art direction that transports players into a grisly world. The entire experience is enveloped with a pulse-pounding musical score by famed videogame music composer Akira Yamaoka, that takes the over-the-top action sequences and intense boss battles that both Suda51 and Mikami are renowned for creating to new heights.”
Shadows of the Damned debuts for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Visit the official website at www.ea.com/shadows-of-the-damned for more details on Shadows of the Damned.

Game developers InXile Entertainment today announced an HD revival of the classic video game, Choplifter. The side-scrolling rescue game from the ’80s stays true to its gaming roots, but gets a much upgraded visual presentation. Players must avoid enemy attacks while landing quickly, and carefully, to pickup military prisoners. Different helicopters can be used, and some of the missions also call for rescuing survivors of viral outbreaks. As you will see in the gameplay trailer, the perspective shifts when the chopper touches down. The gameplay is easy enough to get into while still providing a fun challenge.
ChoplifterHD is in development for the PlayStation 3 (to be released on the PlayStation Network) and PC. Watch a gameplay trailer below, or here on YouTube. See screenshots here. Read more details from the full announcement further below.
Square Enix and Eidos Montreal tease more tactical take down methods in the latest Deus Ex: Human Revolution gameplay video. Following the previously released walkthrough trailer (see it here), this new trailer showcases Aggressive, Stealth and Adaptive approaches to getting through a level. If players decide to go in guns blazing, the Aggressive approach is the most destructive and direct method. Players opting to snake around in stealth mode can do it by using tranquilizer darts, electronic discharges and slipping through shafts in the Stealth approach. The “Adaptive” route calls for a mixture of abilities that include sniping and turning weapons on enemies. Watch the gameplay trailer below (or here on YouTube).
Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in North America on August 23, 2011 and in Europe on August 26, 2011. Players looking for a collector’s edition, the Augmented Edition is packed with additional Deus Ex: Human Revolution items (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).
