Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Citizens of Planet Earth, celebrate! Your final destruction is happening on August 30th, 2022. On that day, your new more-or-less benevolent overlords of the mighty Furon Empire will return in Destroy All Humans 2! – Reprobed to finish what they started: Crypto is coming for you again! Well, technically, it’s the next Crypto: Cryptosporidium 138…but enough of that – check out the brand-new trailer!

In Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed, a faithful remake of the most acclaimed entry in the fan-favorite Destroy All Humans! franchise, our charming but evil alien invader Crypto (138!) will unleash his large arsenal of weapons onto five huge open-world areas: Bay City, Albion, Takoshima, Tunguska, and the Moon! Players will experience the swinging ‘60s in all its glory and deal with Hippies, the KGB, and many other threats. To roam quickly around the large areas, Crypto can use his jetpack; his hoverboard; and of course his flying saucer, equipped with a neat little arsenal of destruction of its own. The saucer received an interesting update: abducting humans in certain numbers (you’ll have to follow the recipe!) will unlock new skills. And last but not least, Destroy All Humans 2! – Reprobed features a 2-player, split-screen coop-mode so you and a friend (or whatever floats your boat) can destroy all humans together!

Destroy All Humans 2! – Reprobed releases on August 30th, 2022 for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series S/X. The SRP for the standard edition is $ 39.99 / € 39.99 / £ 34.99. The Dressed to Skill edition is available at an SRP of $ 54.99 / € 54.99 / £ 44.99.

Playable Pre-Order, anyone?
Yes, puny humans, believe it! If you pre-order Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed now, you’ll instantly be rewarded with the multiplayer, stand-alone spin-off Destroy All Humans! Clone Carnage. In Clone Carnage, 4 players can wreak havoc online or 2 players can destroy in local multiplayer. Clone Carnage is also available for separate purchase on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series S/X, and Xbox One at an SRP of $ 12.99 / € 12.99 / £ 9.99 today!

Moo Lander Gets An Official Launch Trailer

Geek News, News, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox One News, Xbox Series X News

When the Sixth Hammer studio cow, kindly granted to us by the Bulgarian government, got her hoofs on Moo Lander for the first time, she was disappointed to find out the hero isn’t a space bovine hunter called Sa-Moos. Instead, that hero is you, a lone adventurer desperately fighting the boss taurus menace in a bid to save your home. Moo Lander is now available on PlayStation®, Xbox, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version stampeding your way later this fall.

In Moo Lander, you play as civilization’s only hope, an explorer dispatched to ancient worlds, tasked with securing a continuous supply of the galaxy’s most potent energy source: milk. The lacteal mysteries of how this bovine marvel powers entire planets are not yours to understand. You have matters more important than pondering the galaxy’s workings on your hands anyway, namely, a herd of Mighty Cows determined to stop you at all costs.

The journey takes you to bucolic pastures, sun-dappled forests, sinister swamps, and more, all hand-painted and stunningly beautiful – and each ruled by a Mighty Cow. The Sixth Hammer’s custom Cow AI powers Moo Lander’s Mighty Cows, making every encounter uniquely dangerous and fraught with tension.

Granny Toxic blasts the air with poisonous fumes to end you, while the undead Necowmancer Lady Bones is summoned by ancient spirits to guard over the precious substance. Supreme Spider Cow – it’s a thing – uses her sticky webs and spit to control the battlefield. But none of them match the ferocity of the Cowger, always one step ahead of every other bovine creature. The reverend Ancient Mighty Cows cannot be fought with normal methods, though. You’ll have to use your wits and figure out non-lethal ways to tame these beasts.

If you need a break from the main campaign, rustle up some friends and dive into Moo Lander’s moo-ltiplayer modes in couch co-op or remotely via Steam Remote Play. Take on the powerful Cow AI together or throw all the chips down in fierce PvP combat. Survive the Waves mode has you taking on cow-pious enemies on the battlefield. You can even play football with a cow!

For more details and to check out the FREE Moo Lander demos, visit https://moolander.com/play/

Keep in mind that you can get your hands on the game with a 10% discount on the opening weekend!

Features:

Boss Cows
Emotional, 12+ hours-long campaign full of memorable characters and plot twists
Unlock new tactical and combat abilities for your ship
Take on advanced Cow AI and overcome their superior bovine intellect
Discover beautiful hand-crafted landscapes, each with its own unique challenges, enemies, and puzzles.
Team up with your friends in our diverse couch multiplayer

World of Tanks and K9s For Warriors Join Forces for Memorial Day 2022

2022/05/27

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

On Veterans Day 2021, World of Tanks held its first drive with K9s For Warriors, blowing through expectations with an incredible $25,000+ donation. This Memorial Day, World of Tanks is again teaming up with K9s For Warriors, the world’s largest provider of Service Dogs for veterans, to help them continue their work to combat suicide rates among veterans of the U.S. Armed Services.

Beginning today, players of World of Tanks can support the amazing work they do by acquiring a “K9 Honor Pack”, via their direct contribution to K9s For Warriors.

Founded in 2011, K9s For Warriors has rescued more than 1,500 dogs across the country and paired more than 725 veterans with trained Service Dogs to mitigate symptoms of post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries and military sexual trauma. The organization rescues, trains and pairs the Service Dogs with veterans, free of charge.

During their Veterans Day drive in 2021, the U.S. World of Tanks player community raised enough funds to sponsor and name a dog kennel within K9s For Warriors’ newly opened Davis Family Mega Kennel training facility in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Hundreds of Service Dogs-in-training will come through this kenneland eventually help save the lives of veterans in need.

“On Veteran’s Day 2021 we were blown away by the response of our players and proud that their efforts made such a large contribution to K9s For Warriors,” said Maxime Mashkov, US Publishing Director, World of Tanks. “K9s For Warriors is a force for good and we continue to be passionate about supporting their important work by offering the ‘K9 Honor Pack’.”

“We are incredibly grateful to partner with the World of Tanks community to support our veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms,” said K9s For Warriors CEO Rory Diamond. “K9s For Warriors has the privilege every day to see the impact a Service Dog has on a veteran. With a battle buddy by their side, the veteran returns to a life of a dignity and independence. The 2021 donation from World of Tanks allowed us to build a kennel run for our rescue dogs at the Davis Family Mega Kennel. We are thrilled World of Tanks is raising money for K9s For Warriors for a second time, allowing us to continue changing veterans lives for the better and give new purpose to rescue dogs.”

The World of Tanks community can support K9s For Warriors with contributions to the organization. Donation amounts are traced, and World of Tanks contributors will receive one of three “K9 Honor Packs” based on level of donation.
