Shakedown: Hawaii From The Developer Behind Retro City Rampage Releasing May 7th

VBlank Entertainment, the Vancouver developer behind Retro City Rampage will be releasing their latest - Shakedown: Hawaii on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and PC tomorrow on May 7th. Similar to Retro City Rampage, Shakedown: Hawaii is a retro style open-world game similar to the original Grand Theft Auto Games.

The entire island is up for grabs... or at least, could be with the right business model.

Welcome to Shakedown: Hawaii, Vblank Entertainment's latest open world adventure. Build a "legitimate" corporation by completing open world missions, acquiring businesses, sabotaging competitors, "rezoning" land, and shaking down shops for protection money.

You are the CEO, and questionable subsidiaries, misleading ads, fine print, hidden service fees, and marketing spin are your tools of choice. Shakedown: Hawaii parodies big business, and the most absurd business practices that go alongside.

From the boardroom to the streets, build your corporate empire and destroy the competition.

Arrives May 7! Coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, PS VITA, Nintendo 3DS and PC.

Russian Subway Dogs Releases This Year And Features Guest Doggos

We've known about Russian Subway Dogs coming to PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita since late last year, but Spooky Squid Games did announce on the PlayStation Blog that it's coming this year - with some extra friends!

Welcome, comrades! Meet Russian Subway Dogs, a fast-paced action-arcade game inspired by the real-life stray dogs of the Moscow Metro. We have done extensive, totally legal research in order to fine tune this chaotic simulation for what it's like to scavenge for food from Russian commuters.

Lead Designer Miguel Sternberg talked about being able to play as different dogs, including some that are inspired by DrinkBox Studios, and Asteroid Base properties - but the full list is below:

• Meme hero, Question Hound (aka “the This is Fine Dog”) from the comic Gunshow.
• Revolutionary canines Nacho and Rad Shiba from the PS Vita game VA-11 HALL-A
• Hybrid trash vermin, the Ratcoon, from action roguelike Ruin of the Reckless.
• Our own demonic Clawed Kitty, inspired by our previous game, They Bleed Pixels.
• The Proletaricat, your boss and head feline of the pack.
• Uay Chivo from Guacamelee!
• Doppler and Kepler from Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
• Fidel, dungeon delving doggo from the turn-based dungeon puzzler Fidel Dungeon Rescue
• Nidhogg

Russian Subway Dogs is planned for PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita later this year.

"Awakened by an oncoming storm, you open your eyes to discover yourself in a strange, dark room—tucked away in a house that’s not yours.

As you play the game, it changes—subtly, almost imperceptibly—to reflect your perspective. It's a horror game unlike any other, and as you'll discover, its truths are entirely subjective."

Update: Originally the title was that the game came out on Xbox One - which should of read PlayStation Vita.
