The famed fictional sailor has gone through a lot of re-tellings throughout the years; from his original Arabian Night tales he has since had a TV series made, gave his name to a questionably funny comedian and even let Brad Pitt be his voice in a Dreamworks animated movie.
This year the sailor will once again be in animated form, but this time he will be getting the anime makeover. Nippon Animation will be releasing the film Sinbad: Sora Tobu Hime no Shima (or Sinbad: The Flying Princess and the Secret Island) in July to celebrate its 40th anniversary. An official website was created for the film and a thirty second teaser has been recently uploaded onto the site, you can check out the trailer by clicking the video down below.
Nippon Animation will be working alongside studio Shirogumi to produce the film project, Shinpei Miyashita will be directing the film and Yoshiharu Sato (animation director for My Neighbor Totoro) has been given the role of character designer and animation director.

A new trailer has been released for the first-person shooter Space Hulk: Deathwing called Rise of the Terminators. Deathwing based on the ever popular warhammer 40k IP and takes inspiration from the original Space Hulk boardgame. We’ve previously covered the release of screenshots from the game’s engine and are now being shown a cool new trailer.
The trailer itself is rendered with the in-game engine and makes for some nice 40k visuals as space marines in tactical dreadnought (terminator) armour go toe-to-toe with ravenous genestealers. The video juxtaposes well with the song Walking With a Ghost by Swiss band Kadebostany. Unfortunately, the trailer does not showcase any gameplay (as far as I can see) but it’ll be interesting to see another FPS title make use of the 40k IP (with the only other example so far being Fire Warrior).
The game is being developed by Streum On Studio, co-produced by Cyanide Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive. You can find the official site here.
The new cinematic trailer teases Rico’s new wing suit, which will augment Rico’s signature grappling hook and parachute combo. Statues and banners of Rico’s new nemesis General Di Ravello can also be seen in various states of destruction in the fire-themed video. Unfortunately, no gameplay footage has been released at this time.
Just Cause 3 takes the series to the fictional Mediterranean island of Medici and will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows during the 2015 holidays. Contrary to initial speculation, the game will be a full retail title.

Here are some deets directly from the devs:
With highly strategic battles, immersive visuals and user-friendly controls, this eye-popping mobile game allows players to be the hero of the story!

We are one day away from the release of the “New” Nintendo 3DS XL, and two days away from the day love. Which day is bigger? Well, this year – both can be as an ambitious little third-person shooter is set to launch on the eShop this February the 14th, titled Ironfall Invasion.
Developed by VD-DEV, this title runs 60 frames per second and is indeed one of the rarities for the 3DS, as the genre has not received a ton of representation thus far. There will be two purchasable modes for Ironfall off the eShop, and free content for those wanting to try before they make the plunge.
Here are the details on the complete package:
– IRONFALL Invasion: Campaign features 11 action-packed single-player levels, as well as 78 additional challenges that are unlocked as you progress through your overall mission to liberate Earth.
– IRONFALL Invasion: Multiplayer allows for up to six players to face-off in local and online multiplayer scenarios, with 6 different arenas, classic modes from “3 vs. 3” to “free-for-all”, and even the ability to bet in-game credits, which are tied to a player’s XP and rank, on your chances of winning a match. On top of this, a Survivor mode gives you the chance to train solo and hone your skills against CPU-controlled opponents within a variety of time-based scenarios.
Downloadable from Nintendo eShop, fans can purchase either mode separately for AU$13.00/NZ$17.00 each, or the entire game for AU$26.00/NZ$34.00. Fans purchasing both modes separately will gain access to a new multiplayer weapon, the HR pistol, while those purchasing both modes together as one bundle will receive the HR pistol plus a Jukebox feature that allows you access to the game’s soundtrack. However, free content will be available to all players from launch, with the chance to sample the first level of IRONFALL Invasion: Campaign plus the local and online multiplayer features of IRONFALL Invasion: Multiplayer, including one multiplayer arena and a limited number of characters and weapons when compared to the purchasable mode.
That is not a shabby start at all for this title that holds quite a punch, and a fantastic way for you to get the most out of your new purchase if you go for the new 3DS model. You can view some screenshots down below. If you are in North America or Europe, you can go ahead and snag the game now.
Idea Factory and Ghostlight Ltd. have given a final release date for the upcoming release of their strategy RPG Agarest: Generations of War 2. The title is also known as Record of Agarest War 2. This follows the large success that the Agarest series has enjoyed on Steam.
Agarest: Generations of War 2 was originally released on the PS3, and you can read our review of the title here. While the gameplay is mostly unchanged, Ghostlight Ltd. has updated the title for it’s Steam Release. The new release brings mouse and keyboard support, cloud saves, higher resolution, Steam achievements, interface changes, and more. A large amount of the various DLC’s are to be included in the new release.
You can check out the trailer for the title below. If you head over to Steam, you can preorder the game ahead of it’s February 19th release. If you preorder now, the title is 20% off and additional DLC will be included.
Free Lives seems to just be adding update after update to it’s 80’s action-movie themed title Broforce. Devolver Digital and Free Lives have announced that with this latest update Broforce is eschewing the standard jungle themed action movie for something a little more science fiction.
The new update to the early access action title brings to the fore an alien infestation. With the same sort of tongue-in-cheek parody that Broforce has brought us with 80’s flicks, we now see Aliens-esque aliens. Chestbursters, acid-spitting xenomorph-style creatures, new traps, and more have been brought to battle through.
You can check out a video detailing the new horrors and enemies below. Broforce is available on Steam via Early Access with a 25% discount in celebration of this release. There is no doubt that the developers will continue to add much more content prior to it’s full release. Check out the trailer for the new update below.
