IncGamers' Chris Schilling looks at the world of spiders and scorpions.
Digital Trends reports: "Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gamers are always going on about how the Nintendo WIi doesn't offer high-quality third party games-particularly action and combat titles. Game publisher THQ is looking to change that with Deadly Creatures, a new immersive third-person combat game in which player control either a scorpion or tarantula as they fight for survival amongst gila monsters, lizards, snakes, black widows, and even humans in an immersive desert and man-made environment. And, Deadly Creatures is exclusive to the Nintendo Wii."
Though the idea for "Deadly Creatures" was inspired by a dream that lead designer Jordan Itkowitz once had, the actual character design came from real-life influences in the deserts of Phoenix, Arizona.
Spong writes: "Famous Hollywood actors are cool and hip - even old ones. Whether they are wise and trustworthy as game reviewers is a different proposition though. This is why we're a little dubious about the words put into former Mr Angelina Jolie beau, Billy Bob Thornton, regarding Nintendo's Deadly Creatures."
Retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon began to modify the release date of Deadly Creatures a couple of days ago, which hinted that the game would be delayed. Deadly Creatures was scheduled to ship in December this year, but this is officially no longer the case...
THQ has today unveiled the key titles that will form the publisher's fiscal 2009 video game line-up. Scheduled for release in the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009 are a range of new editions to existing franchises, new original games and social and party titles.
How do a Desert Tarantula and a Giant Desert Scorpion blow up a gas station? In this action-thriller, you play as these two predators, and enemies and natural hazards await everywhere. Attacking with the Wiimote against lizards, wasps and the likes, your survival depends on overcoming the most dangerous creature of all: man.
A new Rainbow Studios project's just been announced, namely Deadly Creatures for Wii. To be published by THQ in 2008, the game i s all about surviving in a "venomous world of desert terror", apparently.
