Soul Sacrifice DLC images are pretty darn… weird

JadeWalsh

A selection of images from the first wave of DLC for Soul Sacrifice – the upcoming PS Vita prospect designed by Mega Man man Keiji Inafune – have appeared online following a recent event for the game held in Tokyo, Japan. The images are definitely on-message with Soul Sacrifice’s general weirdness i.e. they are pretty damn weird.

First up, two new demon bosses ‘De-yurahan’ and ‘Goliath’:

We’ll bring you more solid info on this DLC as soon as some is released in English and we’re not trying to make sense of bizarre Japanese translations (via VG247).

Things In Games That Are Sort of Dorito Shaped

JadeWalsh

We love eating Doritos and talking about Doritos so here are some things in games that are sort of shaped like Doritos.

Connorʹs Arrowheads

Although this is an arrowhead from Assassin’s Creed 3, arrowheads in any game are sort of Doirito shaped. Lots of games feature bows and arrows. Despite being similar in shape, a Dorito would make a poor substitute for an actual arrowhead.

The Ship In The Atari 7800 Version of Asteroids

The two Doritos next to the score represent the remaining player lives. We put in the bullets ourselves to make it clear the Dorito is meant to be the ship and isn’t just a sort of Dorito shaped asteroid. Like an asteroid, a Dorito can break into many pieces.

Bowserʹs Shell Spikes

The background image is a picture of some foreign Dorito packs with a Photoshop effect to make it look a bit arty. Although not visible here, the writing on the pack seemed to be …

Sleeping Dogs Wheels of Fury DLC Review

JadeWalsh

A bite-size slice of vehicle mayhem that feels a little out of place

nited Front Games has certainly taken a unique spin on the DLC front. A fully-fledged expansion here, a few new costumes there – the content’s been in constant flow, but it’s been one hell of a mixed bag. And the new Wheels of Fury pack is no exception.

In principle, it’s a sound idea: five missions that give you a tricked-out super car to wreak vehicular destruction across Hong Kong – and a few extra races thrown in too. Each new mission gives you a new upgrade – from increased armour to the obligatory twin-gattling gun/extra beverage holder combo.

Let’s make something clear – this is by no means a bad piece of content. It’s loud, fun and bombastic, but it’s the kind of addition more suited to the comic book rule set of Saints Row The Third than the gritty semi-realism of Sleeping Dogs.

There are
