Ace Attorney 6’s Latest Screenshots Focus on Athena and the Mood Matrix

ace-attorney-dual-destinies-screenshot-003

Late last year Capcom revealed that Athena Cykes would be returning in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 and last week the company also revealed that her “Mood Matrix” system will also be making a comeback in the game. Now Capcom has provided fans with a few more details about both Athena and the Mood Matrix. Athena will appear to have the same type of personality that she showcased in Dual Destinies and uses her abilities to psycho-analyze those speaking in court.

Thanks to this she is an invaluable asset that can point out when testimony is false and try to uncover the truth since testimonies can be faked, but emotions cannot. Currently Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 6 is set to be released in Japan sometime this year for the 3DS and a Western release has already been confirmed.

Master of Orion Collector’s Edition Now Available

Master of Orion Collector’s Edition Now Available

Purchase of Collector’s Edition unlocks Early Access and exclusive content

February 26, 2016 — Master of Orion is another step closer to launch as WG Labs announces the availability of the Collector’s Edition offering Early Access to all who purchase. As of today, explorers can “Conquer the Stars” with six playable races, battle against friends in multiplayer or AI opponents and test their mettle in real-time Tactical Battles.

Early Access puts players first in line to experience all of Master of Orion’s iconic 4X gameplay and more. Six diverse races—Mrrshan, Psilon, Bulrathi, Alkari, Human, Sakkra—will be the first races to battle for supremacy of the galaxy, with more to arrive in the near future. There are many paths to victory for explorers in their quest for Orion, such as “Diplomatic”, “Conquest” and “Excellence”, and more on the horizon.

Multiplayer is a big part of the Early Access package. Explorers can lay down the gauntlet to friends across the world and challenge them to a campaign or embark on their own road to galactic conquest against AI races. Real-time Tactical Battles add a new, immersive dynamic to Master of Orion, letting players take their own, custom-designed fleets to war, where they must use every trick and tactic at their disposal to claim victory.

The launch of the Master of Orion grants players the three original Master of Orion titles. Upon the game’s final release later in 2016, a detailed digital art book, soundtrack by original Master of Orion composer, retro pixel ships, and an exclusive race for Collector’s Edition holders: the Terran Khanate become available. To discover more about the Master of Orion Collector’s Edition and start conquering the stars, visit the official Steam and Gog.com portals:

About Master of Orion

Master of Orion is a modern rebirth of the critically acclaimed sci-fi strategy game. The forerunner of the influential “4X” style, Master of Orion builds on the iconic eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, gameplay that the original game pioneered. This reimagined title stays true to its legacy, delivering on the promise of deep strategy, hard fought battles, diplomacy, and exploration—all with a healthy dash of humour.

Players can expect a fresh perspective on the original 10 races, each offering different styles of play. Within thousands of ever-changing galaxies, hundreds of unique technologies, and dozens of ships waiting to be tested, no two games will ever be the same.

Call of Cthulhu Video-Game Adaptation Announced

call-of-cthulhu-screenshot-01

That which is not dead can eternal lie, proved time and again by the plethora of Lovecraftian mythos pervading the popular spheres. This time around the stars have aligned to bring us Call of Cthulhu: a video game adaptation of the RPG pen and paper classic. Developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive, Call of Cthulhu was announced today for release on consoles and PC. Described as an RPG-investigation game with psychological horror and stealth mechanics, early screenshots showcase the dark, brooding ambiance that the Lovecraftian universe is famous for.

Seeking to uncover the truth behind the death of an acclaimed artist and her family, while exploring a mysterious island, the player will be forced to deal with a far more uncomfortable truth, as the Great Dreamer, Cthulhu, begins to wake from his eternal slumber. Not the first foray for video gaming into the Lovecraftian mythos, Call of Cthulhu will have no doubt have to compete against precursors such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent (challenging), or 2005’s Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (not hard to be better than).

Fans new and old will be able to roll for SAN loss some time in 2017. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Rejoice that Cthulhu sleeps!
