Puzzle Quest DLC: Revenge of the Plague Lord


When the new content for Bejewe - er, we mean Puzzle Quest, was originally announced, it was simply a nameless, detail-less waif. Now it's back with a player-created name and the full list of it's contents. Submitted by A. Puchniarz of Pasadena, CA, the pack is to be known as Revenge of the Plague Lord. The DLC will contain four new classes: Bard, Rogue, Ranger and Warlock. As well as an expansion to the Southern Map that in itself contains over 25 quests, 50 spells, and 40 items, plus a host of new monsters, bosses and more. The story to the expansion has to do with "Antharg, the Lord of Plague and brother to the infamous Lord Bane." But as of now, we have no idea when you'll get to meet Antharg, as D3 was so excited about their DLC that they just couldn't give us anything on the release other than "Spring 2008."

Dark Sector multiplayer footage


Hot on the heels of our own video hands-on with Dark Sector comes brand new footage of the game's multiplayer mode. As we mentioned in our own video, Dark Sector's multiplayer is fairly unique among shooters. Those who have followed the game know that its protagonist, Hayden, has some very special supernatural powers, most notably his biological throwing blade. Rather than pitting a bunch of Haydens against one another, Dark Sector's multiplayer focus on pitting a group of normal soldiers against a single Hayden (or Hayden and another enhanced character in the case of team games). Hayden has the ability to create a shield or turn himself invisible, which gives him a much needed advantage against an entire squad of soldiers. Whoever takes Hayden down gets to play as him during the next round. We've played it and it works really well. Check out the new video after the break.

Thong wearing zombie slayer is boring?


On the surface, Oneechanbara Vortex sounds like the greatest game ever created. You play a bikini wearing, katana wielding supermodel of a woman whose mission is the slaying of zombies. In theory, the only way you could make this game any better is to throw in some ninjas and pirates. Unfortunately, like so many great ideas, it works wonderfully on paper, but fails in the execution. Granted, we haven't actually played Oneechanbara X, but if this video is any indication, it looks like a real snoozer. Boring, generic hack and slash gameplay seems to be the order of the day, and the shooting character looks even worse. Watch the video after the break.

Hot chick kills zombies, gains fame


Oneechanbara X, the game whose heroine is a katana wielding girl wearing a thong, straw hat, feather boa, and not much else, is odd to say the least. Add to that list one more thing, she's a zombie slayer. That's right, Xboxygen has posted several shots of our hero slicing up legions of the undead. Still no word on whether or not the game also contains ninjas, Nazis, or pirates -- or if the game will see release outside of Japan at all. Here's hoping.

You can check out the official website (in Japanese, natch) here -- age verification required, can't imagine why.

Admit it, girls with swords are awesome

While typing up the post on the new Saints Row video, I stumbled across some Famitsu images of the Japanese game, Oneechanbara X. That's the hero character over on the right: a girl wearing panties, a straw hat, a katana, and what looks like a feather boa. Famitsu was kind enough to print an English translation of Oneechanbara X, which reads "The Devil Evolution Human." Hopefully, when and if this title makes it to the states, publisher D3 will give it a more fitting title. Allow me to suggest one: "The Adventures of Panty Samurai: Escape from Thong Mountain."

If a half naked chick with a sword can't move 360s in Japan, what can?
