With literally days to go before Injustice: God Among Us flies into stores, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has unveiled the final trailer that will be released for the title.
Injustice: God Among Us launches on the April 16 in the US then April 19 in Europe on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii U.
What better way to mark the last Halo 4 map pack than to go big? The Castle Map Pack does just that by providing big maps filled with a big selection of those oh so sweet vehicles that are not only deadly fun to use, but even more fun to blow the heck up. Whereas the previous DLC, Majestic Map Pack, featured small maps for intense close quarters fighting, Castle marks the return of large maps and epic vehicle battles. If you like your fights big and your vehicles plenty, then this map pack is for you.
Press Start to Continue
Microsoft is getting into the Xbox Live Arcade bundle business and added the Twisted Pixel Games Bundle to their download service today.
The Twisted Pixel Games Bundle includes all four of the developer’s previously released XBLA games: The Maw, Splosion Man, Ms. Splosion Man, and Comic Jumper. Best of all, it’s available for the low, low price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10). If purchased separately, you’d need $45 to buy all four games. So the Bundle is a pretty great deal.
We reviewed Ms. Splosion Man when it was released back in 2011, so be sure to check it out if you’re interested in the bundle. Twisted Pixel’s next XBLA game, LocoCycle, will be released sometime this year.
For the first time ever three publishers have teamed up to bring you “the ultimate cross over.” Namco Bandi, Capcom, and Sega have put their resources together to give us the ultimate strategy RPG.
Project X Zone is a follow up to 2005’s Namco X Capcom (which never made it out of Japan). It has a roaster of over 50 characters to choose from, featuring the likes of Mega Man X‘s X and Zero, Devil May Cry‘s Dante and Demitri Maximoff, Resident Evil‘s Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Vitura Fighter‘s Akira Yuki and Pai Chan, and Tekken‘s Jin Kazama and Ling Xiaoyu.
Project X Zone will be available only for the 3DS on June 25 in North America, followed by a July 5 in Europe. The game is already available in Japan.
Namco Bandai has unleashed the first details of Ridge Racer: Driftopia, the next installment in their infamous Ridge Racer series.
Driftopia will be a free-to-play title and will be available on the PS3 and PC later this year. As the name suggests, Driftopia is all about the skilful art of drifting, and looks like it’s set within Unbounded’s Shatter City (which makes sense, seeing as how Bugbear Entertainment is also handling development duties on Driftopia).
“At Namco Bandai Games we are committed to embracing new business models alongside the still vital traditional retail sector,” said Olivier Comte, Senior Vice President of Namco Bandai Games Europe. “Free-to-play is playing an increasingly important role, so it’s very exciting to be bringing one of our most successful franchises to the free-to-play space for everyone to enjoy.”
Like all free-to-play titles, Namco Bandai will be adding microtransactions into the game. Driftopia will give the player the option to pay for car upgrades to drift ahead of the competition.
From Software and Namco Bandai have released a new trailer for Dark Souls II, its second since the title was announced at the Spike TV Video Game Awards back in December.
This trailer includes some gameplay footage (sort of), and you can get a general idea on how the game is going to look during gameplay. It also doesn’t give anything away about what you’re going to be doing while playing the game. But, we’re sure that it’s going to get you excited, as it did us.
Dark Souls II is set for a 2014 release on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Not only does Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon out-Rambo Rambo, but it makes The Terminator look like a wuss and shows Duke Nukem how **** got done in the 80s. After being the latest “worst-kept secret in gaming” for a few weeks, Ubisoft has officially announced their glorious combination of 80s cheese and modern-day game design.
Using the Far Cry 3 engine (and little else from its predecessor), Ubisoft has crafted a standalone downloadable title that stars Michael “Kyle Reese/Hicks” Biehn as Sergeant Rex Power Colt. Colt is a “Cyber Commando” who is part-man, part-machine, and all sorts of pissed off that one of his Cyber-Commando comrades has gone rogue. Taking its cues from the long-gone “VHS Era,” Blood Dragon puts an army of laser-spewing lizards and angry robots between Colt and his quarry.
I don’t know if your PC, PS3, or Xbox 360 can contain the pure righteousness that is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, but those platforms will give it their best shot on April 30 (PSN) or May 1 (PC, XBLA).
With just a few days to go before the game’s release, NetherRealm has dropped yet another trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. This new video shows the very Sub-Zero-esque Killer Frost, going toe-to-toe with Ares for over two minutes.
Injustice: God Among Us launches on April 16 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii U.
