VR FPS Pioneer Arizona Sunshine Expands With Brand-New Story Extension “The Damned DLC”
Today VR publisher and developer Vertigo Games and developer Jaywalkers Interactive announce a brand-new story extension for their platinum-selling VR zombie shooter: Arizona Sunshine - The Damned DLC. The largest Arizona Sunshine mission yet, The Damned DLC is set to vastly expand the VR zombie apocalypse when it launches for PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets this summer.
In Arizona Sunshine - The Damned DLC, fans of the franchise get to discover a brand-new chapter preceding the Arizona Sunshine story so far, crawl into the skin of an all-new protagonist, and explore an iconic megastructure infested by undead as they put their VR zombie survival skills to the test in the largest Arizona Sunshine mission to date.
Set before the events of Arizona Sunshine and Dead Man DLC, The Damned DLC tasks you and your team of US Special Forces with a daunting objective; reactivating the generators of a massive Arizonan hydroelectric dam to restore power to the military’s nuclear missile systems. Far from an easy task when it’s overrun by hundreds of hangry undead!
As your team sets out, terrifying events unfold that leave you to complete your mission on your own. Make your way up, over and inside the massive structure in an effort to stop the spread of the apocalypse in its tracks with no more than your commander’s voice over the radio to keep you company. Your relationship could use some work, and crippled with a fear of heights and a healthy dread of flesh-eating undead crawling away in the depths of a dark, damp megastructure, you have seen better days…
Arizona Sunshine - The Damned DLC is scheduled to launch for PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality headsets this summer.

Planet Zoo presents the most authentic animals in videogame history.

They care about their surroundings and each other, with complex environmental and social needs. Nurture your animals throughout their lives, study and manage every species to see them thrive, and help them raise young to pass their genes onto future generations.
Manage your own zoo in an expressive world that reacts to every choice you make. Focus on the big picture or go hands-on and look after the smallest details. Thrill visitors with prestigious animals and famous exhibits, develop your zoo and research new technologies, and release animals back into the wild to repopulate the planet.
Unleash your creativity with the next evolution of Planet Coaster’s best-in-class creation mechanics. Craft stunning scenery and habitats, dig lakes and rivers, raise hills and mountains, and carve tunnels and caves as you build your own zoo. See your animals and visitors respond to your creative vision, and share your designs with friends in Planet Zoo’s online community. Bring the world’s greatest designs home to your own zoo for your animals and visitors to enjoy.
‘This is the zoo management game we’ve wanted to make for many years,’ said Jonny Watts, Chief Creative Officer of Frontier. ‘We’ve challenged ourselves to build on the games we’ve made before and to carry the great legacy of classics like the Zoo Tycoon series forward. We’re taking everything we’ve learned from our past work and focusing on modern values – incredible authenticity, rich management, limitless creativity and community sharing – to make our best-ever simulation game. We hope you’ll join us when Planet Zoo launches later this year.’

REVIEW: FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster - Xbox One
Review: By Jon Donnis
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster perhaps is not the catchiest of titles, but it is a fair description of what is a remastering of the Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 games from the early 2000's which were released then on the Playstation 2.
At the time FFX was widely called the greatest game of all time, and received a sequel which was a first for a FF game.
So is this still the greatest game of all time? The answer to that is no, but is it one of the greatest games of all time? The answer is yes, and I suspect it will always be yes.
The thing to keep in mind is that this is not a step by step remake, it is a remastering, so it is still graphically a product of it's time, so it is never fair to compare a game from 2001 to one released today, that said the graphics are still very impressive, and this was the first FF game to be fully 3D, as opposed to backdrops being rendered separately.
The basic storyline in this is that you play as Tidus in the world of "Spira" and he is on a journey in unfamiliar places, you have a gang of good guys fighting against an evil Kaiju known as Sin trying to take over the world. So pretty standard fare there.
As you cross the various areas you will take part in many turn-based strategy combat situations against the usual hillariously named enemies.
It could be argued that this type of combat has aged badly, but as I said this game is a product of it's time.
The second game stars Yuna as it's main character and continues on well from the previous game. It also contains way more mini games which was always a favourite of mine throughout the various FF games.
Overall if you are a Final Fantasy fan and either want to replay a great game, or you want to play the first true 3D game in the franchise then this is a great game to buy and play, you will get literally hundreds of hours of gameplay which is something not many games from this era can claim.
I score this game a strong 8/10. Still packs a mean punch 18 years after it was first released.
The Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Collection is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster brings both beloved titles to long-time fans of the series and a new generation of players in stunning high definition, complete with new features including new challenges, gameplay modes and more.
FINAL FANTASY X / X-2 HD Remaster is now available both physically and digitally for the Nintendo Switch™ and as a digital-only title for the Xbox One family of devices. Physical copies of the game for Nintendo Switch™ also include a reversible sleeve featuring beautiful art of the title’s heroes.
