NGames, a leading online games publisher, has today released two new gameplay trailers for action-packed free-to-play side-scrolling MMORPG, Endless Fury. The trailers show off gameplay for the Elite Instances, where warriors must face off against powerful bosses.
Available now on the burgeoning Game321.com games portal, Endless Fury is a breathtaking side-scrolling arcade-style action MMORPG that gives players the freedom to design and unleash their very own devastating combos. Players take on the role of a proud young warrior fighting a shady secret organization trying to overthrow justice. On their journey of self discovery through Endless Fury’s world of many layers, players will encounter a plethora of bizarre monsters, face-off against epic bosses, tackle unique quests and enjoy a variety of fun, fast-paced PVP features.
The corrupt world of Endless Fury is controlled by seedy organizations operating outside of the law. Each organization is made up of common monsters, who answer to a powerful and cunning boss.
Warriors can go head-to-head with these horrible bosses in the Elite Instances, where they will need to bring the full force of their user-created combos to secure victory. Win, and the powerful secret equipment of the bosses can be stolen and used to craft the ultimate weapon.
Elite Instances are much tougher than the challenges offered by Endless Fury’s story quests. Bosses are stronger than their monster underlings and each player is only given limited attempts to defeat them. It’s recommended that even the most proficient warrior tackle the lower level elite instances first.
Each main boss has unique abilities and skills, from exceptional mental strength to swift combo attacks. They all have a weakness too. Find it, and a warrior could soon find himself on the path to becoming the king of fighters.

Since DizzyPW and the rest of the creative guys are a super swamped covering the PC MMO portion of E3, I wanted to put together an first impression article based on the titles Microsoft showcased during their Monday Xbox E3 Media Event. Full disclosure: I have no background in journalism, however, I was able to weasel my way into the Microsoft Xbox E3 Media event so I think that is qualification enough to put together this article:
Title Line-Up:
Xbox Achievement App
Happy Wars
Forza Horizon
Evolve
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dead Rising
Fantasia
Dance Central Spotlight
Project Spark
Ori and the Blind Forest
Inside
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Witcher 3
Phantom Dust
Tom Clancy’s Division
ScaleBound
Crackdown
Highlights:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – CoD has taken the battle into the future, the gameplay footage highlighted Drop-ships, Jetpacks, Mechs, Spider Tanks, and Kevin Spacey.
What it Looks Like: TitanFall, Halo Reach
What makes it Interesting: Jetpacks could add a new element to the CoD franchise. Halo Reach and TitanFall are fast paced, chaotic shooters that have allowed players the ability to rely on their reaction times over their ability to aim with precision. Call of Duty has always slowed down the tempo a bit to instead build itself around keeping yourself alive long enough to get to kill-streaks to help the team. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their previous formula. Also, Kevin Spacey.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity – Set in Paris during the French Revolution AC: Unity looks to strengthen a key element that has made the franchise successful throughout the years: its single-player experience.
What it Looks Like: Ghost Recon
What makes it Interesting: 4 player Co-Op Story. Unity allows you to pick up and play the new storyline with up to 3 of your friends. This allows far more strategic, tactical squad combat. Players will be able to coordinate an ambush on unsuspecting enemies and will have to work together to maintain stealth.
Sunset Overdive – Brand new IP from Insomniac Games that combines wall running and rail riding into a 3rd person shooter. Sunset Overdrive does everything it can to make sure that it does not take itself too seriously.
What it Looks Like: Tony Hawk, BioShock Infinite, Dead Rising 3
What makes it Interesting: Sunset Overdrive prides itself on giving users the agility needed to provide a different gaming experience. By not taking itself serious, Sunset Overdrive looks to win the hearts of gamers through comedy, similar to Borderlands.
Fable Legends – The creators behind the Fable franchise have put together another version of their franchise. Although I have never been a huge Fable fan myself, Fable Legends brings about a few interesting tweaks that have peaked my interest.
What makes it Interesting: Fable Legends may have fixed the biggest problem that plagued the other installments – Co-Op. Fable Legends features a 4 player Co-Op campaign that allows players to use their abilities to create combos to take out enemies. Having the ice mage freeze a minion and the soilder destroy it with his fire sword is just one example of the coordinated gameplay strategy on hand. Another huge update is the ability to play the villain of the game. Fable Legends allows you to set traps, command minions, and create bosses for the 4 heroes to go up against. This kind of unique game-play is a mantra that Fable always held firm; it looks as though Fable Legends may have finally delivered. You can sign up for the beta by going to www.FableLegends.com.
Halo: Master Chief Collection – By developing a single user interface, the guys who built the Halo series finally put all 4 games into one handy place for us. This collection offers Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4 and gives you the ability to put together a customized playlist that allows you to play any mission within the saga in any order. The Master Chief Collection comes with a re-designed version of Halo 2, the original Halo 2 multiplayer experience, and over 100 multiplayer maps – all in 1080p and 60 FPS. To top it all off, the MC Collection gives users Halo: Nightfall, a digital storyline that ties the events of Halo 4 with the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians, as well as access to the Guardians Beta. Even better, they’ll have a new never before seen prologue and eulogy that offers a more complete bookend to the series as a whole. You can even switch back between the original and updated graphics settings to truly appreciate the upgrade or get a stronger nostalgic fix!
That’s it for your Xbox E3 First Impressions. Hopefully, I can get my hands on some of these demos tomorrow and see how they play.

A new update for Strife will soon be available for Strife, the fantasy MOBA, featuring the new hero Blazer to the Strife Arena, along with graphical, balance, and User Interface improvements.
Blazer is a ranged hero who specializes in guerilla warfare. Sticking to the outskirts of battle, Blazer can send focused shots at enemies, whittling them down from afar. Once she has the advantage, Blazer can quickly seize the moment by sneaking behind enemy lines undetected, finishing off her chosen target. While Blazer is great at fighting on her own terms, you must be careful – she falls quickly when caught out of position.

The game will launch on the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows® PC.

All the while, players will compete for treasure, powerful artifacts, and ultimate bragging rights.
“After the immensely positive reception we received for our debut co-op adventure Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, we always hoped that we would find the time for Lara to return in another classic AAA digital arcade title,” said Darrell Gallagher, Head of Product Development and Western Studios. “We are excited to expand upon Guardian of Light’s legacy with an entirely new adventure, and challenged ourselves to create fun new ways to play. Four-player co-op in Lara’s world combined with Crystal Dynamics’ high production values are being brought to a new generation of platforms and we are excited for more friends to share in the adventure together.”
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris takes place deep in the deserts of Egypt. In her new adventure, Lara must join forces with rival treasure hunter Carter Bell and imprisoned gods Horus and Isis, to defeat the evil god Set. As Lara and her companions fight the elements of nature across the sands and through ancient tombs, they will battle legendary deities and creatures of myth. With the fate of the world at stake, Lara must recover the fragments of Osiris to stop Set from enslaving all mankind.

Blood Bowl 2 is an outrageous football game set in a high fantasy world. This gruesome bloodsport version of American football features all manner of fantasy races and themes.
Features:
Competitive Sports: Despite its wacky appearance, Blood Bowl 2 has plenty of mechanical and strategic depth behind it. There is plenty of thinking to go along with the action.
Striking Visuals: The game sports a superior visual engine and evocative art design, making it one of the better-looking games in its genre.
Niche Appeal: Blood Bowl 2 is a truly unique title, with no real comparable games to compete with it. In the world of orcs and goblins playing blood football with each other, this game stands alone.
Bone-crunching Action: Blood Bowl 2 has brutal takedowns and violent, action-packed gameplay. While not for the faint of heart, it makes the action hard to look away from.
