From the creators of Super Stardust HD comes a new game filled with horror and zombies.

Dead Nation takes place in the not-too-distant future, where a deadly virus is once again sweeping the globe, infecting everyone in its path and killing off almost all the human race. To the horror of the survivors, the dead have begun rising from the grave, hell-bent on feeding on the living and wiping out mankind for good. But, just as it seems all is lost, a small pocket of survivors emerges, determined to take back the world from the undead.

Now that you know about Dead Nation, check out these screens and be sure to check the game out when it releases this fall.

Tuesday is here once again! That means it’s time for another PlayStation Store update, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog.

Lead and Gold kind of entered the scene under the radar. A lot of people knew about it and a lot of people never knew a thing about it but I must say this is one game you will want to know about.  Fatshark has really outdone themselves with this package and with promised DLC the future looks bright, but what could keep this amazing Downloadable title from greatness? Find out in the rest of our review.

I have been playing Lead and Gold for a few days straight now (I’m practically addicted to this game) and I have noticed a few balance issues with classes, especially concerning one hit moves. I will discuss all the classes strengths and weaknesses, and what I find to be a bit under or over powered. The suggestions, after the page break. (more…)
