Double Dragon slår til igen

Double Dragon. Et spil som vækker mange gode minder fra en fjern barndom, som blot syntes at være længere og længere borte. Især Double Dragon II: The Revenge står som en sikker succes i min bog, men den tredje kunne vi alle formentligt have undværet. Bimmy? Ikke så fedt et spil. Ualmindeligt vanskeligt at gennemføre, faktisk! Et liv? Hvor gik det dog galt?

Men nu er der godt nyt! Det oprindelige Double Dragon får nu (endnu) en reboot i form af Double Dragon: Neon, som udkommer på både XBL og PSN inden længe og vil koste os den nette sum af ca. 60 kr. eller 800 Microsoft Points. Jeg skriver endnu, idet det er anden gang (mig bekendt), at spillet får en reboot på de nye konsoller, men denne gang ser det dog mere udførligt ud end ved sidste forsøg. Tjek gameplay-traileren ud nedenfor og spørg dig selv, om ikke det er tids til atter at lade næverne tale i ægte gadekampe? Det tror jeg faktisk, at det er! Og nu er det blot tid til at gøre det rigtige: Reboot efterfølgeren. Reboot The Revenge!




English version

Double Dragon. A game that many of us remember dearly from a distant childhood. Especially Double Dragon II: The Revenge stands as one of my favourite games on the NES back in the day, but the third outing could have been a bit better. Bimmy? Yeah, it wasn't the best game in the series. It was kind of brutal, now that I think about it. Extremely difficult to complete, in fact! One life? Where did things go wrong?

But now there is great news! The original Double Dragon is seeing another reboot in the form of Double Dragon: Neon on both XBL and PSN and it will cost $9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points. I write "another" because this will be the second time, as I recall, that the game is being rebooted, but this time it does look a bit more accomplished than the previous attempt. Check out the gameplay trailer above and ask yourself if it isn't time once again to wave the fists of fury in true street fights? I believe it is! And now they need to do what's right: Reboot the sequel. Reboot The Revenge!

Tom Hanks og computerspil

Så prøver vi igen at få bloggen op at køre! Eksamenstiden er en hård stund for mange, og jeg er ingen undtagelse, men nu sadler jeg atter hesten og forsøger at bringe friske nyheder til de hungrende masser. Og denne gang er Tom Hanks involveret!

Tom Hanks er mest kendt for sin filmkarriere, men nu har han kastet sig over computerspillene i forbindelse med hans seneste projekt: Electric City. Spillet, Electric City: Revolt, er blevet udviklet af Jump Games og fungerer som en RPG, som Tom Hanks både producerer og medvirker i. Projektet egner sig til en større fortælling over flere platforme, siger Playtone (Tom Hanks produktionsselskab), og nu er spillet altså blevet udgivet til mobile enheder og kan findes på både Android Play Store og iTunes App Store. Nørden i mig byder gerne Tom Hanks velkommen, og jeg er spændt på at se flere projekter fra hans side!

Tom Hanks is mostly known for his films but now he is trying to take on the world of gaming as well with his new project: Electric City. The game, Electric City: Revolt, has been developed by Jump Games and is a RPG featuring himself in the leading role. The game is also being produced by him and his production company Playtone. The game is now available on both Android Play Store and iTunes App Store. The nerd inside me bids Tom Hanks welcome and I am certainly interested in seeing more projects from him in the future!
