A beautiful, startling world of death and intrigue, hidden just beneath our feet

Feb 9, 2009

Wii owners: your system has not yet devolved into a platform only for the casual, the family-friendly, and the undiscerning eye. Deadly Creatures proves that Wii-exclusive titles can still be brutal, imaginative, and way more than mindless waggle. We have crawled amongst the exoskeletal warzones underneath human feet, and it was good. ...

Deadly Creatures – hands-on

Time to show Billy Bob the business end of our stinger

Jan 23, 2009

When you think of scorpions and tarantulas battling it out God of War style, do you think Coen Brothers? If you say yes, you must be popping the Crazy Pills. That, or you’re one of the developers for Deadly Creatures. Yet it’s this off-kilter thinking that lends the Wii-exclusive arthropod adventure a unique flavor. ... » Read Full Deadly Creatures preview

Deadly Creatures

Welcome to the undergrowth of rage

Jan 6, 2009

The idea behind this is certainly interesting. It’s an adventure starring a spider and a scorpion with a human story overheard in snippets of dialogue as the creepy-crawly heroes cross the paths of a pair of human treasure-hunters in the desert. In one level you’ll play the spider, pursuing its scorpion rival through the undergrowth. ... » Read Full Deadly Creatures preview

Heaving up the playtest paving slab to peek at the icky delights beneath

Jul 8, 2008

You can’t get further away from the Nintendo aesthetic than a scorpion pumping its toxic payload into the guts of a stunned wolf spider. When Miyamoto looked into his garden he envisioned Pikmin; when the chaps at Rainbow eyed their Arizona backyard they envisioned a gritty crime thriller played from the perspective of nature’s creepiest crawlies. ... » Read Full Deadly Creatures preview

Deadly Creatures - first look

Rainbow Studios merges Antz with Reservoir Dogs

Apr 2, 2008

How’s this for an opener? A gas station manager, incensed by seeing his beloved business go up in flames, pins the crime on a scorpion and a tarantula. Rewind time 24 hours to follow said beasties as we work toward, and discover the reasons behind, this unlikely conclusion. It’s a time-hopping structure cribbed from Tarantino in a world nabbed from David Attenborough - an odd pairing. It’s also quite ... » Read Full Deadly Creatures preview
