Time for another Throwback Thursday, which this month is dominated by the upcoming PC release of Resident Evil 4. Today I’ll plow through one of the game’s later chapters, but THIS TIME you could win a classy Resident Evil mug!
Some of you may remember these from 2011 when we launched the HD versions on 360 and PS3; welp, I found a stash of ’em and today I have four to give away!
$5.00 : That’s all you need right now to get both Lost Planet 2 and Remember Me. What’s the catch?
The catch is you’ve got to buy an Xbox 360, a PlayStation 3, a PS+ subscription and an internet connection. Oh, you’ve already accumulated all that throughout the course of the last nine years? Good, then we’re back to just $5, you savvy shopper, you!
The newest addition to the Xbox 360 Ultimate Game Sale we mentioned yesterday is none other than Lost Planet 2 for $5 . That’s 75% percent off its current XBLA listing, FYI… but how would you like to save 100%?! ZERO DOLLARS is how much PlayStation Plus subscribers are being asked to plunk down for Remember Me on PSN . If you haven’t played either of these fantastic (and quite underrated) games, I can’t think of a better price at which to bite. Stop thinking it over and throw down that Abraham. Act now and you can still get Asura’s Wrath on 360 for $7.60 too !
Someone’s excited about the new Donkey Kong and the recently announced Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate … and that someone happens to be a really good artist!
You may remember the artist by his Yoshi/Deviljho fan art piece… or by his screen name: Wyvern Smasher , here on Unity and everywhere else. Anyways, go say hi, congratulate him on his amazing work, etc.
The awesome thing is he uses the Wii U app Art Academy as one of his artistic tools… and makes pretty good use of it – look at that fur!!!
And here’s another treat…
That’s his fan art of one of the new monsters in MH4U : the Gore Magala !
As a child of the arcade era, there was something special about each win I’d earn while on the Street Fighter II cabinet. Since each game was pay to play, every win felt that much more euphoric as I watched my defeated opponent have to pony up more money, whereas each loss stung that much more as I felt my pockets running out of coins. Essentially something more than pride was on the line each game, and that made everyone play all that much harder. With the advent of free online play, it’s been difficult putting something on the line other than pride… UNTIL NOW.
Today, I’m proud to announce our partnership with Virgin Gaming , which will allow players to compete with one another for not only pride, but for money as well! If there was only one thing that would’ve made victories sweeter back then, it would’ve been if each of those quarters that went into the machine, went to me instead. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case back then, but that’s definitely the case now.
So next time someone taunts you online, you can tell them to put their money where their mouth is.
