This new Storm trailer is quite calming
No loud thunderstorms, no torrential downpours -- this latest trailer for Storm, Eko Software's puzzler headed to XBLA and PSN this summer, is quite serene. In fact, you may not even want to watch the trailer and instead just lay back, close your eyes and enjoy a nice nap.
Jason Rohrer's Diamond Trust of London coming this fall
Zoo Entertainment has officially announced its intention to publish Jason Rohrer's DS strategy title Diamond Trust of London. The board game-esque title, which is about the conflict diamond business, was originally to be published by Majesco. Zoo's IndiePub label " rescued Diamond Trust of London from a year-long holding pattern," Rohrer said in the press release announcing the deal. Zoo plans to sell the game this fall. There's only one thing left to do before that goal can be achieved: make Diamond Trust of London. " Development of Diamond Trust of London is scheduled to begin shortly with an anticipated limited edition release this fall," the press release notes.

Zoo Entertainment announces Wanted Corp for PC and PSN
Cincinnati-based developer/publisher Zoo Entertainment recently announced its most ambitious project to date: A PSN and PC third-person-shooter titled Wanted Corp. The downloadable game pits two players in the shoes of the hilariously-named Neal H. MadDogg and Irina Zimoy, who must use their expansive armories and latent psychic abilities to kill or capture 26 different kinds of enemies in a massive, extraterrestrial bounty hunt. The game's press release announcement also promises PlayStation Move support -- assumedly for directing the duo's destruction. Completing said bounties (or other secondary objectives) garners said hunters cash, which they can spend on new weapons or upgraded abilities. Hopefully, they'll also be able to drop some cash at their local alien courthouse, and purchase whatever documents they'd need to have their names legally changed. Wanted Corp is due this Summer for $9.99 -- until then, spend some time getting to know Mr. MadDogg in the game's debut trailer, posted after the jump!
Mayhem begins this March on Xbox 360 and PS3
Mayhem, an arcade racer we caught on radar recklessly announcing itself last October, is now officially set for March. The Xbox 360 and PS3 game will get you behind the wheel at a budget price of $40 and plans to get in-your-face with 3D gameplay. You won't even need a fancy TV for the popping visuals, the game is rockin' it old schoool, Rad Racer-style with glasses in the box. The game will feature a "noir comic book aesthetic" (i.e. Sin City-style, MadWorld), four car-crunching game modes and 120 vehicles. It'll also have players accumulating "Mayhem Points" for their disorderly driving on the track, which can be used to unlock new levels. Mayhem is being developed by Left Field Studios, the developer behind Excitebick 64 and SCORE International: Baja 1000 -- the latter of which we only remember because of that fun box art lawsuit. %Gallery-117563%
Hello Kitty Online launches, opens fourth seal of the Apocalypse
And lo, from the throne of four and twenty seats, with four and twenty elders sitting and clothed in white rainments and crowns of gold, lightnings and thunderings and voices proceeded. Seven lamps of fire burned, and four beings full of eyes appeared in front and behind. And the first being was like a frog, and the second being like a nymph, and the third being had the face of a man, and the fourth being was like a yawning penguin. And from the mouth of the third being, like a cat, came these words: "Hello Kitty Online has officially launched in North America and Europe. Fans both young and old can share their love of Hello Kitty, either through the free downloadable client or the Premium Edition retail version, which is available at retailers for $19.99 and contains $15 in Sanrio Cash Points, a game DVD and manual, and one of four exclusive and cute virtual pets." And I looked, and beheld the pale cat, and the name that sat on her was Hello Kitty. And Hell followed with them.
