Dead Rising 3's Fallen Angel DLC now available on Xbox Live
Out of nowhere, Dead Rising 3 has received its second story expansion, dubbed Fallen Angel. As with Broken Eagle, Fallen Angel features its own storyline. This plot thread places you in the boots of Angel Quijano, one of the "illegals" who refused to have a Zombrex chip implanted in her neck. This disobedience earned Quijano (and all illegals) a "kill on sight" order from the government, so expect to have to battle numerous heavily-armed soldiers alongside thousands of shambling corpses as you attempt to protect any other remaining survivors Angel might come across. Like all Dead Rising 3 DLC expansions, Fallen Angel also brings with it new vehicles, new clothing options for the core Dead Rising 3 game, and new weapons. As you can see in the above trailer, the new additions to your zombie-slaying arsenal include a mace, what appears to be electrified boxing gloves, and akimbo uzis, allowing players to live out their "John Woo meets George Romero" fantasies. Owners of the Dead Rising 3 season pass are now able to download Fallen Angel at no extra charge, though by itself the DLC features a $10 price tag. Since the majority of the data included in this downloadable offering was issued to Xbox One owners with last month's 13GB patch, Fallen Angel weighs in at a reasonable 22MB. [Image: Microsoft]
Sacred 2 expected in October 2007
Ascaron Entertainment has announced that Sacred 2: Fallen Angel will launch next October. The German developer's follow-up to the cult classic RPG has an updated engine under the hood, and six playable characters (with good and evil storylines) for plenty of replay value. The timing couldn't be better. By the end of next year, you should have completed every quest in Oblivion, fought for both the orcs and humans in Gothic 3, and conquered countless Neverwinter Nights 2 campaigns. Of course, you'll still have Assassin's Creed, Elveon, and The White Council to contend with.See also: Sacred 2 web site goes live
Sacred 2 web site goes live
German developer Ascaron Entertainment has launched the official web site for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, the sequel to PC Gamer's 2004 RPG of the year. The original game was a Diablo II-inspired hack and slash fest, but instead of the linear presentation found in most action-RPGs, Sacred was praised for incorporating a vast, open-ended world more typical of Elder Scrolls and Gothic.The Fallen Angel site is currently only available in German, but you can head over to GameSpot for dozens of screen shots. Anyone else notice how the Seraphim character models appear heavily inspired by the angelic warriors found in Todd McFarlane's Spawn universe? Nice to know there are some fellow toy collectors on the other side of the pond.[via RPGDot]
