Paint the PS4 red when Crimsonland hits on July 15
Crimsonland is "not a complicated game," admits 10tons PR co-ordinator Jaakko Maanemi. The top-down shooter, hitting PS4s in North America on July 15 and Europe on July 16, is certainly aptly named. In Crimsonland your task is to gun down aliens using 30 ridiculous weapons, splatter blood everywhere, try to survive, and then shoot some more aliens and splatter more blood everywhere. Truly an avant-garde concept for gaming. Not that we're being snobby, it's just refreshing to see a studio put forward a game as it is. So, the lowdown on 10tons' remake of its 2003 affair: The new version adds HD visuals and a few fresh modes, with four-player local co-op supported across the whole game. A total of 60 campaign missions and full leaderboard support should keep PS4 and Windows PC players busy - the game's out now on Steam - while Mac, Linux and Vita versions are also on the way. The game is $14/£10.59 on Steam so expect that price on PSN, too. [Image: Sony Computer Entertainment]
Crimsonland remake sprays hot lead on Steam, PS4 this summer
Developer 10tons Ltd. has revealed plans to bring its Crimsonland remake to the PlayStation 4 and PC at an as yet undetermined date this Summer. Originally released in 2003, Crimsonland is a simple yet chaotic top-down shooter. The player is dropped in the middle of the screen, while enemies swarm in from the sides. The goal here is obviously survival, but to accomplish that feat, the player will need to gun down hordes of encroaching ne'erdowells with weaponry that makes no logical sense, but fits perfectly in the arcade-inspired world of Crimsonland. As you can see in the above trailer, the game's title is a reference to the deluge of blood that blankets the ground only moments after the player starts firing. 10tons claims to have both PS4 and PC versions of Crimsonland up and running, but says that much work still remains. For current status and word on when Crimsonland might be available for pre-order, 10tons asks fans to follow its Twitter account or check the game's website for weekly updates. [Image: 10tons Ltd.]
10tons releases Joining Hands 2, a hand-holding puzzler that'll kill you with its cuteness
10tons is back at it again with version 2 of its popular puzzle game, Joining Hands. The first version was a hit for this indie group of developers and the second version builds upon this success. It adds new characters and improves the audio and visuals. Just like the original title, Joining Hands 2 is a whimsical puzzler that challenges you to line up your Peablins with their hands joined together. Every character's hand has to hold another character's hand, which is a much more challenging task than it appears. Some Peablins have multiple hands and need to be joined to multiple characters, while other Peablins have unique characteristics that dictate where you can place them. This latest version includes 140 puzzles and eight different Peablin characters. Joining Hands 2 is perfect for the person who enjoys puzzlers that challenge you to think, but are easy to put down at a moment's notice. There's no timer in the game, so it's an enjoyable and not a stressful gaming experience. The puzzler also is family-friendly with cute characters, no violence, no ads and no in-app purchases. Joining Hands 2 is available from the iOS App Store for US$0.99.
