Pokémon TCG: XY—Steam Siege is the latest expansion to the Pokémon Trading Card Game franchise, featuring the powerful BREAK Evolution mechanic, giving evolved Pokémon even more power during battle! When Shiny Mega Gardevoir-EXand a host of greedy forces lay siege to the mighty Gear Palace, the Mythical Steam Pokémon Volcanion must wield the dual powers of fire and water to stop them! As the battle rages, Xerneas BREAK and Yveltal BREAK face off in this exciting new expansion.

FENIX FURIA STORMS ONTO ON PLAYSTATION®4 AND XBOX ONE


Fan-Favorite Action-Platformer Cooks Up Addictive Gameplay, New Split-Screen Two Player, and Delicious, Delicious Cookies

Watch the new Fenix Furia launch trailer HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=8zPqhPMHw4I

Split-screen Two Player Mode – cuz rage-quitting needs to be competitive.

“When you have a dream, pursue it through all sorts of crazy obstacles, and finally achieve your goal, it’s truly a special feeling,” said Eduardo Ramirez, lead developer and co-founder of Green Lava Studios. “As long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to make a great game on a major console and now that Fenix Furia is finally here on PS4 and Xbox One, it’s an overwhelming for me – to develop this game from a developing country (Costa Rica) makes me especially proud.”

Fenix Furia Game Features

  • New split-screen local Two Player Mode where gamers race-off to see who can finish each level the quickest
  • A new characters arises – Undead Fenix roars with rage in Two Player mode
  • Easy mode feature acclimates new players to the hardcore platforming challenges ahead
  • Nine varied and vastly unique worlds to traverse and conquer, each with dozens of increasingly difficult levels
  • More than 200 total levels, each with varying enemies and obstacles to overcome, as well as a cookie to collect
  • Rapid-fire gameplay style means no downtime between attempts and deaths (and you WILL die…a lot)
  • Addictive nature of play demands your absolute BEST platforming skills to achieve the best ratings per level
  • Stylized 2D art style complements the original electronic soundtrack that varies with each world

Step into the shoes of Fenix, a really sweet creature of speed and (blocky) cuteness… then feel his boundless rage. He is pissed! You would be too if your village was decimated by a huge explosion (and your game name was legally blocked!), leaving only two survivors: Fenix and the mysterious enemy Oktarus. Fenix will track down this shadowy villain through nine worlds, defeating righteously brutal bosses and hundreds of minions bent on his destruction, on a mission to return harmony back to his world. And to get cookies.

Winner of the Gamemaker Game of The Year award, Fenix Furia is now available for PlayStation®4 and the Xbox One via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program.

To go along with this announcement the company has released a new trailer that you can check out below.

injustice-2-poster-leak

As with any good E3 season, the leaks are plentiful and this latest one comes in the form of the reveal of Injustice 2. A retail poster for Injustice 2 has appeared online after arriving at a large number of GameStop retailers across the country sporting the tagline “Every Battle Defines You.”

After certain sources confirmed the validity of the poster, Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealms Studios founder Ed Boon has started to hint at the fact an announcement is coming. This includes a few modifications to his Twitter such as shifting his icon to II, posting a drum roll, and the below image.

watch-dogs-2-logo

Ubisoft has announced that they are planning on releasing a teaser trailer for Watch Dogs 2 on June 8th and to try and hype up that announcement the company decided to release a small thirty second teaser video simply titled “Hello World.” Well it appears that Twitch didn’t quite get the memo on keeping that second teaser video on the down low as the second video has already been revealed and can be found at the link here.

The first video can be found below where we see a character using his phone to control a screen in front of him. As you’ll see in that leaked video, Watch Dogs 2 is set to be released on November 15th for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Get Your Heart Pounding and Slash Your Way to Love in the Dungeon-Crawler, Robot Love Story of the Year: “Heart&Slash”

Get Your Heart Pounding and Slash Your Way to Love in the Dungeon-Crawler, Robot Love Story of the Year: “Heart&Slash” 

Madrid, Spain (June 8, 2016) — 3D brawler Heart&Slash will be launched by publisher BadLand Games and studio Aheartfulofgames on June 24th, 2016 to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 worldwide.  The PC version has been on Steam Early Access and the final version will launch in August in all territories.

Aheartfulofgames’ Creative Director Juan Raigada feels Early Access was an important step in the game’s development because “while we kickstarted the game, and had enough funding to see it through completion, we reached a stage in the development of Heart&Slash where we felt the need to gather as much feedback as possible to make the best game we could.”  Now, after three years of development, taking into account the constructive criticism of Early Access players, Heart&Slash will be making its worldwide debut this summer. The title will also be getting a retail release in select territories.

See how far Heart&Slash has come since its Kickstarter!

Play as Heart, a malfunctioning robot, fighting for its identity against the minions of standardization.  Along the way you meet Slash, a rough veteran of the dystopian world where Heart&Slash takes place. You will try to capture Slash’s attention through several playthroughs, but how you do it will depend on the player. For each ‘quest’ (each opportunity to woo Slash) you will have a couple of opportunities that will end up defining the relationship and how the story will end.

Will you choose independence, or will you change in order to be loved? Or will you find a balance that will allow the relationship to thrive?

Features:

  • Fight using 75 different weapons and 60 different body parts that will change the way the game plays. Teleport, stop time, fly with a jetpack, wall-jump, discover enemy weaknesses and so on. From the trivial to the game-changing, you can try thousands of different combinations.
  • Die and try again. Permadeath means Heart&Slash is not an easy game. But dying shouldn’t matter as robots can be easily and indefinitely cloned. Every time you start a new game, the levels you fight through, and the items or weapons you collect, will change.
  • A unique art style that will bring back the memories of game systems long gone.
  • The game will have almost no downtime. Levels are short and brutal, and the game, in a successful run, should not be too taxing on your time (whether you will ever be able to make a successful run is another matter). Ultimately, playing Heart&Slash is not about mastering one system. Instead, it’s about being able to adapt to what you are given and making the best out of it.
