Release – Q4 2013 • Developer – Hucast Games • Platform – SEGA Dreamcast.

German based Hucast Games unleashed its Ghost Blade alpha teaser earlier today, after having fans and social media followers held on the promise of a first public trailer come the 25th. It’s easy to tell the dev team are dedicated folk, clearly proud of their work in progress and eager to storm media feeds, forums and field questions. So far, this game is looking pretty damn sweet…

Finally we’re able to present you Ghost Blade in motion! This video is showcasing stage 4 of Stage Mode (Danmaku Mode) incl. Boss Enemy. Now Enjoy!

Pre-orders for this highly anticipated DC shooter are now open at Hucast Direct. Initially Ghost Blade was offered as a 300 piece collectors edition boxed set – stuffed full of lovely bonus extras, demand prompting the team to take a customer poll and gauge interest in extending the ‘CE’ run to 500… and you better be quick if (like me) you missed out the first time.

Lets take a look at the flavours…

Game features: 3 modes with 3 player ships to choose from, stage mode: 5 stages.

The regular edition is priced at 32.95 Euros and (as you would expect from a Dreamcast indie title) comes as a region free disc, with a full colour manual. The limited edition arrives in at 49.95 Euros and includes the soundtrack score on a secondary disc.

Being a bit of a OST fan also, I love what we’ve been offered via the teaser. I’m looking forward to hearing and seeing more as Ghost Blade continues to show off its differing game modes in future trailers.

As mentioned, the 3 disc collectors edition enjoys an additional 200 units now and 89.95 Euros will net folks some very exclusive extras…

• Game disc with exclusive title screen.
• Soundtrack CD with bonus remixes included.
• Differing box / package art (numbered from 001 to 500).
• Colour manual and sticker set.
• 24 page concept art book and SuperPlay DVD.

If Battle Club Gaming can grab one of the limited edition versions? Be sure we’ll be holding a Ghost Blade competition soon!

Device Support: VGA Box, Arcade Stick, VMU support.

Now, having all of these aren’t necessary, but are damn well useful.
Metal Gear Rising manages to achieve all of these points. Let me provide you an example;
JetStream Sam, the samurai of Desperado, finds little purpose in life other than the joy of battle. His motives are expressed by the dialogue, wanting to fight for pleasure and honor, which serves as a parallel to Raiden. His attacks allow for slow tension-building, and when he does strike it’s often unpredictable, quick and lethal, much like his nature. This is a great showing of how a boss battle can characterize and provide a great companion to the story itself. The tactical and slower pacing of Sam forces the player to learn/utilize the idea that they must restrain themselves, or they will get decimated. An excellent example of learning or applying ones skills to the battle. As for keeping the players interested in the experience, Sam’s skills are renowned in the game, and you actually face him at the beginning of the game, but are brutally beaten. He’s the greatest swordsman thus far, and his tools are shown to be extremely unique, so the lore explains why this character is a “boss”. Beating him rewards the players with a sense of satisfaction at beating a rather challenging boss, the realization upon how their skills as a player have improve, advancing the story, and just having a great time. They even manage to insert QTE’s properly, which I normally am annoyed by (Sly 4′s final boss battle upset me so much).
If all this comes from a boss battle, lasting a mere 15 mins or so, why do developers/gamers want to get rid of it? It seems so illogical and lazy that such a thing is sought after, and if you want a “cinematic” experience then you don’t want a game, you want a movie. Now there are valid complaints in terms of boss battles of recent games, like “Deus Ex: Human Revolution”, “Assassins Creed 3″ and “Far Cry 3″. I agree that developers are often put on a rushed production, so often times boss battles are largely ignored/lazily done, but it can change. If we as consumers can strive for more importance on Boss battles, then we won’t receive these outsources or “QTE”-mashem’s

 Release 2013 • Developer - NG:DEV.TEAM.

Platforms - Neo Geo home system (AES) • Neo Geo arcade (MVS) • SEGA Dreamcast.

Yes, you read that right! Neo Geo fans can expect to see this exciting new title on the home console very soon, proceeded by a release on MVS (the systems arcade counterpart) and with a Dreamcast version planned for September 2013.

In fact, the team behind this lovely looking 2D shoot ‘em up have been developing quality arcade titles on the DC and Neo Geo platforms for some time now (along with a sprinkling of iOS support).

Based in Hannover, Germany and founded by the Hellwig brothers – Timm and René, NG:DEV.TEAM quickly gathered a loyal following with successful releases of Last Hope, Fast Striker and Gunlord. Today the team are without doubt one of the finest indie game developers in Europe.

Titled as NEO ZAIKUSU (ネオ ザイクス) for the Japanese market, this generously paced hand-drawn ‘shmup’ offers six colourful stages to battle through. Successful progression depends on just how good a pilot you actually are, and of course, eleven impressive mid / end stage bosses lie in wait – equally determined to challenge player skill.

Longtime team associate Rafael Dyll returns to score the soundtrack, no doubt we can expect pure retro-themed beauty from a bounty of gorgeous melodies and mixes.

This game was graphically designed to look like a 1989 Japanese arcade game. The score system is based on medal chaining and a mild rank system. Bombs are built by collecting power-ups.

The ever ingenious folk at NG:DEV.TEAM have a design first in mind for the Neo Geo arcade / MVS release, promising true vertical (tate) and horizontal (yoko) monitor support. Likewise, all display and HUD information can be switched to accommodate your preferred play style here.

Hopefully this feature will be inclusive to the AES cart and DC versions too… could be a nice touch for those able to rotate a small flat screen without much fuss.

NEO XYX Competition.

To celebrate the release of NEO XYX we are giving bullet maniacs the chance to win a copy of the limited edition Dreamcast version (which includes soundtrack CD / OST) plus legacy poster art from NG:DEV.TEAM’s back catalogue – courtesy of game and console import specialists Videogame Imports – it’s worth noting these awesome A1 sized posters are incredibly rare, VGI exclusive and in some cases limited to 400 pieces only.

To win, simply email us your answer to our competition question…

Last Hope was NGDT’s first side-scrolling shooter and saw a ‘directors cut’ reissue, but what was this called? A) 1.5. B) Pink Bullets. C) Big ass green tiger shooting thing.

Email boompodcast@gmail.com with your answer and contact details, include NEO XYX in the subject line. This competition is open worldwide, one email / winner will be chosen at random and notified after entries close – June 30th 2013.

Battle Club Gaming would like to thank Timm at NG:DEV.TEAM and Lee at VGI for their time, permissions and kind assistance – thank you gentlemen.

Playing He-Man, the graphics and gameplay definitely gave me the feel of super NES era action platform, while hitting you with a dose of humor, and nostalgia. With the options to play as either He-Man or Shera, unlock-able moves to expand your combat prowess, and collectible comic covers, there’s a lot here for any Masters of the Universe fan to enjoy.

The game controls pretty smooth with the on screen pad, and the music, and sound effects do what they are supposed to and help bring you I to this games cartoonish world. There’s really not much to dislike about this game, but as with most IOS titles, monotony can set In. For fans of Masters of the a universe, this is def a check out.

Mini Golf Matchup is a pretty fun little title that may be worth your time. Like most IOS games, it takes advantage of the ease of connecting people, allowing you to play with friends or random opponents.

MGMU is pretty simple and fair. Hit the various colorful tracks, and try to rack up more points than your opponent.

Striking a fine balance between getting bonuses for collecting all the crystals on a stage, or trying to net a hole in a one in order to achieve a double score bonus after then next round, there is some strategy to be used as you play.

With in-game challenges like getting 3 birdies in a match, or collecting all crystals on 3 courses, there’s enough here to keep you entertained while you’re at work, not working.

If you’re looking for a good game to play with friends or family, Mini Golf Matchup is well worth a download.

Just a Battle Club Gaming detective – bathed in the monochrome amber-dark. Busy sirens embrace this city, from afar their cries are cold comfort… OK, so what is known about Murdered: Soul Suspect? Reportedly set in Salem, Massachusetts, we suspect our protagonist is police detective Ronan O’Connor and we’re very certain he’s dead…

What is the hardest case to solve?… Your own murder!

Twitter      Facebook      YouTube

The folks at Square Enix have been offering avid ‘Murdered detectives’ clues to this exciting new IP – delightfully teased via social media, seeing the keenest of gumshoes hot-footing it over to the Murdered evidence room in a bid to unravel snippets of info surrounding this chilling tale.

As a promotional press device, the evidence room is quite brilliant and had us pause for thought. We wondered if Murdered: Soul Suspect fans and followers could continue to uncover twists and turns beyond release lead up, inclusive to gameplay perhaps?

BCG investigated the folks behind the game, leaning on them for more details. They didn’t break of course, but we discovered further information is expected April / May. Why wait for those facts? Join in on the speculation and enjoy the mystery via the recently launched official Murdered: Soul Suspect forum – sign up and share your hard learned evidence detective!

AC3: The Tyranny of King Washington:The Infamy – Mission 1 – Awaken 100% Sync

1st Objective – Kill 5 Bluecoats at the church while remaining undetected.

The mini-map is your best friend for this objective. Always keep an eye on it for the red dots which indicate an enemy position. When you get this objective, run up the tree in front of you and do a Leap of Faith into a haystack. Make sure that you have no weapons equipped by selecting your fists from the quick select menu (you are unarmed by default, so you shouldn’t have to press anything). Run ahead of your mother into the haystack ahead of you. Press square to snap the neck of the guard standing next to the haystack. Then climb out and run to the broken wall to the left of the cemetery, where there is a guard standing on his own. Kill him and then hide in the long grass nearby. There will now be two guards in front of you. Wait until one starts walking behind the left wall of the church and follow him in the long grass to kill him. Then go up to the edge of the wall of the church and look round the corner to see a guard crouching. Press O to whistle and attract his attention, and when he walks over to you, press square to do a corner assassination. Finally, go back round the other side of the church (where you came from) and you should see the last guard standing with his back of you to the right of the church. Creep up in the grass behind him and kill him. Your objective will come up as completed so even if you get detected, you will still achieve 100% sync.

2nd Objective – Prevent any Bluecoat reinforcements from reaching Concord.

This objective will appear when you are told to use the cannon in Concord. To fire press X. Remember to aim slightly ahead of the soldiers, as there is a second delay between firing and the shell landing.

Enemies will come from three areas: the rooftop to the right of you, the field across from the road and down the main road from the left. The only ones you need to worry about are the enemies marching down the road, as the enemies on the rooftop and in the field will stay there. After you fire one shot at the enemies on the road, you will have a few seconds before they come back. Take this opportunity to fire on the enemies on the rooftop to the right. They will come back later but ignore them after this point, as they won’t damage you enough to kill you.

Now, you want to aim your cannon on the main road directly in front of the wall where the guards in the field stop at. Fire when the guards come along the main road and are about one second away from that point. You will not only wipe out the group on the road, but the group in the field too. Occasionally two guards will ride down the road on horses so be sure to fire when they are a bit further back, the reason being they move quicker than the marching guards.

3rd Objective – Do not permit any Bluecoat runners to light a fuse.

For this objective, you will be in the middle of a huge fight in Concord. The key to achieving this objective is listening to your mother and watching the mini-map. She will say variations on “someone is trying to light a fuse!” and a large red dot will appear on your map (much larger than the normal soldiers). Don’t bother with any of the other guards round the town, as they are busy fighting others and won’t harm you.

When a new torch-bearing soldier appears, he will run towards one of the houses to light some explosive barrels. Intercept him along the way by equipping your tomahawk and attacking him. You should only have to press square once as he will not offer any resistance and will die instantly. Occasionally a Bluecoat will appear on the other side of town and will be too far away to catch. When this happens, hold down triangle for a couple of seconds to aim your bow, then fire at the guard. One arrow will be enough to kill him. Once you’ve killed 8 runners this objective will be completed.

AC3:The Tyranny of King Washington:The Infamy – Mission 2 – Warn The Village (not required for 100% Sync)

There are no bonus objectives for this mission. Note that after you receive your Hidden Blades and the Uniquely Familiar trophy, you will be in a battle. You cannot win this battle no matter how hard you try, so just let yourself be defeated.

AC3: Tyranny of King Washington:The Infamy – Mission 3 – Sky World Journey 100% Sync

1st Objective – Don’t touch any rocks during slides.

After following the wolves for a short while, you will slide down a slope. The area around you is very white, but in the distance you should be able to see the large grey rocks approaching as you slide. Move left or right with LS and RS to avoid them. Your character moves pretty quickly during the slide, meaning that even when the rocks are close, you can usually avoid them if you turn quickly. There are three separate slides during this section and there is a checkpoint before each one. If you hit a rock, pause the game and select “Reload from checkpoint” then you won’t have to go back very far at all.

2nd Objective – Kill the Elk without alerting it.

This is basically unmissable, as the game tells you to do exactly this. Use your Wolf Cloak ability by pressing triangle to go invisible. Then walk up to the elk and press square to assassinate it.

AC3: Tyranny of King Washington:The Infamy – Mission 4 – One-Man Wolf Pack 100% Sync

1st Objective – Kill 2 Bluecoats with a single arrow.

This is easier than it looks. Once you search the area for the clues, a cutscene will play. Once it finishes, this objective will come up. You should see 2 Bluecoats run up the steep hill in front of you. Follow them up there until they stop running and they will stand in single file in front of you. Equip your bow and target the first guard, then hold down triangle for a couple of seconds and fire. The arrow should kill both guards, but if not restart from the checkpoint and have another go.

2nd Objective – Kill the runner by calling the Wolf Pack.

Again, this is another objective heavily emphasised by the game. After the cutscene, the guard will run off. You are told to follow him and use the “Call Wolf Pack” ability to take him down. Run after him for a short while until he is within targeting range, then press L2 to call in your wolves to take him down.

AC3:The Tyranny of King Washington – The Infamy – Mission 5: Path Of Revenge 100% Sync

Objective – Use no stalking bushes during the eavesdrop.

For this objective you are not allowed to use any of the tall grass or bushes to hide in. However you can use other hiding spots and you will need to, since you will be in Wolf Cloak mode to avoid detection and will need to recover health. To start off, use your Wolf Cloak ability and jump into the haystack within the eavesdropping circle. You will automatically deactivate the Cloak so your health will recover. Once the guards start to move off, press triangle to leave the hiding spot whilst cloaked. Then carefully creep forward between the bushes and do not touch them. Once you can move freely, run into the next haystack and recover your health. Finally when the guards move again, emerge from the haystack and run forwards to the well and hide in there. This objective will be completed whilst you are hiding in the well. Once you’ve accomplished it, leave the well and continue with the mission.

AC3: Tyranny of King Washington:The Infamy – Mission 6 – Justice Served 100% Sync

1st Objective – Free the bear without killing or alerting the guards.

Again the game will tell you to use Wolf Cloak to do this. Once you see the cutscene showing you the cage, equip your Wolf Cloak and walk around the guards ahead of you to the cage. Before you interact with it (by holding O) remove the Wolf Cloak, otherwise you will die as the cage takes about 10 seconds to open and your health will be depleted. The guards will not turn round and see you.

2nd Objective – Stay undetected in the fort.

This is again much easier than it appears due to the Wolf Cloak ability. Use it to move from bush to bush (un-equipping it and recovering your health when you do so – you’ll never be discovered). You don’t have to kill any Bluecoats, just move towards the orange circle on your map within the fort and go up the ramp. Use Eagle Vision to find Arnold and walk up to him with your Wolf Cloak ability activated. Make sure your Hidden Blades are equipped and press to assassinate square him.
