While I wouldn’t consider any of this week’s videogames to be “a hotly anticipated blockbuster hit” or any variation of that phrase, there’s still plenty of good gaming to be had, including a multiplayer ‘D&D’ game like we haven’t seen in years.
\n<\/p>\n
Even though you won’t find it in any store, ‘Daggerdale’ may be the most exciting game to hit virtual shelves this week. It’s a multiplayer ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ game that harkens back to the days of ‘Baldur’s Gate’, or even further back to ‘Gauntlet’.<\/p>\n
I had a chance to watch and play ‘Daggerdale’ at the Penny Arcade Expo<\/a> this year, and I can’t speak highly enough of what I experienced. Obviously, a ten-minute play session isn’t representative of the whole game, but it’s a decent indicator of what you’re in for. ‘Daggerdale’ seems like the wonderful old-school hack and slash action that any co-op fan will salivate over.<\/p>\n Incidentally, you won’t find Amazon links for the 360 and PS3 above since the game is exclusively available as a download.<\/p>\n As much as it saddens me to see a ‘Dead or Alive’ game move forward without Tomonobu Itagaki, I have to admit to having a great deal of interest in ‘Dead or Alive Dimensions’. For starters, it’s got Ayane, who has been my go-to character since the first game. There’s more of course.<\/p>\n The game looks surprisingly good, and has had (at the time of this writing) fairly favorable reviews. It offers a chance to play as some of the best characters in the series and is the first 3D venture for the series.<\/p>\n It can be hard to think of names for things. You should have seen the list of ridiculous ideas we had before we went with The Bonus View<\/em>. Really, there was some awful stuff in there \u2013 much of it suggested by me. So I’m going to give Codemasters a break on making a dirt racing game called ‘Dirt’.<\/p>\n ‘Dirt 3’, as the name implies, is the third game in the series. This isn’t necessarily a fun general interest game or something to pick up on a whim, but if you like racing and you like dirt, you can’t go wrong with ‘Dirt 3’. Seriously though, the reviews are pretty good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I wouldn’t consider any of this week’s videogames to be “a hotly anticipated blockbuster hit” or any variation of that phrase, there’s still plenty of good gaming to be had, including a multiplayer ‘D&D’ game like we haven’t seen in years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[137,144],"tags":[198,516,2130,3020,2334,3021,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16066"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16066"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28901,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16066\/revisions\/28901"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS<\/a>)<\/h5>\n
