Ice, Mechs, and Giant Bugs
GameSpot has an intriguing preview of Capcom’s Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for the 360. Anything with mechs rates pretty high on the cool scale in my book, and the addition of giant insect aliens can only be a good thing. The player alternates between on-foot exploration and mech-enabled explosioning, a mechanic I remember with great fondness from Monolith’s stellar Shogo. Capcom has some of its major players working on the game, including Keiji Inafune and other Onimusha, Resident Evil, and Mega Man alumni. It’s supposedly on track for a late 2006 release.
