Shadowgun DeadZone To Shoot Its Way Out Of Beta On November 15th, Cheesy Launch Trailer Available Now

Posted by in Games, News, Videos

If you haven't played the Shadowgun: DeadZone beta yet, go do that. Well, if you have a tablet (or Galaxy Note), that is. It's pretty hard to play on a phone. But this is bar-none my current favorite game for Android, and I'm fragging away at it for probably an hour or so every day lately.

The game has been in open beta for around a month now, and after several patches, is apparently just about ready for prime time. The official launch of DeadZone (expected to be free-to-play) will be on November 15th. The only downside is that I'm assuming my rank and unlocked weapons will be going away when the new app is launched.

Madfinger Teases The Long-Awaited Shadowgun Deadzone - Multiplayer Fragging Coming Our Way Soon?

Posted by in Games, News

Shadowgun Deadzone, the much-anticipated multiplayer add-on to the highly popular 3rd person shooter Shadowgun, has been teased by Madfinger Games on the company's Facebook page today. Take a look:

Tons of new character models (and weapons) are already the standout feature here. We actually heard about Deadzone back in January at CES, when Madfinger slated the game for a Q1 release. They initially discussed the idea of multiplayer in Shadowgun in October of 2011. We saw Deadzone again at MWC in February - we even got to play it. It was pretty fun. We've heard nothing since then.

[CES 2012] Tegra 3 Exclusive Shadowgun: Deadzone Coming In Q1 2012 With 8-Person Multiplayer

Posted by in Games, News

Nvidia's CES press conference featured a few people playing Shadowgun together, which was a little puzzling, because currently that's impossible. It turns out they were showing off a new version: Shadowgun: Deadzone. The cool new thing about Deadzone, if you haven't guessed by now, is multiplayer support.

Deadzone is bringing all kinds of bells and whistles to the Shadowgun series. It supports 8 player online multiplayer, gamepads, and voice chat. I think that puts it on par with full-on console gaming. You also get a few new toys to impress your friends with: there's new sprint and roll moves, and, of course, more weapons.
