Dollar Dash makes a run at XBLA, PSN and PC in October
Candygun Games cartoonish thief-em-up Dollar Dash will launch on Xbox Live Arcade, PS3 and PC this October, publisher Kalypso Media has announced. Dollar Dash is a multiplayer game where players "make use of extravagant weapons" to duke it out over fat stacks of cash.The teaser trailer above gives us a good idea of what to expect: Bomberman-style gameplay with a customization system including cosmetic options and upgrades including perks. Can we buy bigger hands? Seems like it'd be pretty good for carrying cash.
Dead Block co-op trailer includes a surprisingly effective burger
This Dead Block trailer is challenging everything we know about zombie lore. Demonstrating one of the boy scout's unique abilities, the character prepares and tosses out a hamburger, which lures a crowd of zombies to it before exploding. Does that mean that, for all these years, people in movies could have just fed the zombies a tasty burger and been done with it? That would make zombies just really stupid hungry people. Or maybe ... maybe that kid just cooked a burger made of human flesh. Dead Block is out today on XBLA; a PSN release will follow on July 20.
Dead Block due to shuffle, swing and bop onto XBLA July 6 and PSN July 20
Nothing says "America" like apple pie, Elvis and vintage zombie hordes, straight out of the Golden 1950s. Dead Block, a suburban-zombie tower-defense title from Candygun Games, is hitting XBLA July 6, according to publisher Digital Reality. We first saw this date reported over the weekend at XBLA Fans; the only problem is, Xbox Live's Major Nelson told us, "It's not on the list that I have." Remember, kids, Xbox Live Marketplace release dates are never official until Microsoft releases them! ... but we're not sure about PlayStation Network, which Digital Reality says is scheduled to get its dose of Dead Block on July 20. Regardless of release dates, the cute-yet-crude take on the undead genre will be marked at 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and the equivalent $10 on PSN. If you're still curious about the game, we've got a trailer for you after the break, but here's the meat of it: Zombies are created from the hip vibrations of mid-century rock 'n' roll and are slaughtered by Jack the construction worker, Foxy the traffic warden or Mike, the fat boy scout from Up.
Dead Block pairs three unlikely survivors against the zombie masses this summer
Candygun Games and Digital Reality Publishing are teaming up to release a bizarre-looking ... um ... street defense game called Dead Block, coming this summer to XBLA, PSN and PC. Worried as you might be that the street itself is a zombie, you're thankfully mistaken -- turns out that the game is centered on the last remaining survivors of a 1950s zombie outbreak, holed up on one particular block of Americana. Players control one of three different characters (swappable on the fly) in a third-person view, and apply direct or tactical violence in the form of traps to stop the stream of zombies. What's bizarre is the mix of characters, which ranges from a beefy construction worker with questionable mustache to a Blaxsploitation-era, gun-toting foxy lady to a chubby boyscout thrown in for good measure. Despite the seeming anachronism of some of the game's characters, Dead Block's first trailer makes the game look rather promising. Head past the break and see for yourself.%Gallery-122917%
