August 7, 2014

Ubisoft has detailed their massive line-up for Gamescom 2014, running from August 13-17 out of Cologne, Germany. Attendees will be able to go hands-on with blockbuster titles for the first time ever at the show, with brand new, unannounced PC, mobile and digital titles promised for reveal.

Ubisoft’s booth in Hall 6, space A021, will showcase Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Tom Clancy’s The Division in dedicated 150-person and 85-person theaters respectively, and hold hands-on gameplay pods for Far Cry 4, The Crew and Assassin’s Creed: Rogue. The space must be huge to accommodate the 154 pods, 90 of which are Far Cry 4 demos (the largest installation in the publisher’s history); 40 being Assassin’s Creed: Rogue naval battle demos and 24 designated to The Crew, with simulation chairs to boot! Add to this the Ubisoft center stage activities, cosplay competitions, prize giveaways, performances and a replica of Pagan Min’s throne as seen on the cover art of Far Cry 4 for photo opportunities, and it is clear that Ubisoft’s presence at Gamescom 2014 won’t be ignorable.

Yves Guillemot, co-founder and CEO, Ubisoft, said;

Ubisoft is making it easier than ever for Gamescom attendees to look at our games and connect with their favourite franchises. We’re hopeful that every type of gamer will find something to enjoy in our lineup and will have a chance to share their feedback with us.

Check out the lineup announcement trailer below. We can’t wait for Gamescom 2014!

While we usually don’t think about new eShop releases until Thursday, Nintendo have snuck up on us and gave us a reason to celebrate it seems. As of today, you can download Super Mario Kart for the Wii U in all of its now Gamepad enabled greatness.

Sure, it is a lot different if you’re riding by from those wondrous streets in Mario Kart 8, but nostalgia and crisp gameplay that still holds up well is the reason for admission here, and frankly, I am just happy to see the Wii U getting more Virtual Console love. What will tomorrow bring? Probably the normal mix, but today we have a new glimmer of hope that even more classics (Super Mario RPG, and dare I even say Donkey Kong Country) just might see some love on the eShop yet again.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and Bon Appétit to be released in Europe and Australia

While we knew that XSEED Games was planning on releasing Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit in North America sometime this Fall, gamers in Europe were left wondering when, and in the case of Australia, if they would get either game. Well you can rest easy as today Marvelous Europe announced that they will be handling the distribution of the title themselves in both regions.

Series producer Kenichiro Takaki said that “We were surprised and delighted that the Senran Kagura series has been so well received in Europe. The team is very excited that these new titles will soon be released for the rest of the world to enjoy.”

Both titles will be released as digital downloads for the PS Vita later in the year and with this announcement came a number of new screenshots for the title as well as a re-release of the E3 trailer for Shinovi Versus.

While no price was announced for the downloadable titles, the channel will launch worldwide in Autumn 2014 and feature Monopoly Plus that includes both the classic board and a new 3D board, Risk, and Trivial Pursuit Live!. Screenshots and a gameplay trailer showing off each board game can be found below.

Broforce/The Expendables 3 Crossover The Expendabros Blasts Onto Steam

Well, ain’t this a match made in (gun) fiery hell? Indie developer Free Lives and publisher Devolver Digital have just released an official crossover between their game Broforce and the upcoming blockbuster action sequel The Expendables 3, called The Expendabros.

Available via Steam for PC, free until December 31, The Expendabros is a standalone release from Broforce, which is still in Early Access. It features ten missions set against the tree tops and lumber mills of Eastern Europe, introducing seven legendary soldiers (who may look familiar to you). Each has their own set of unique weapons and special attacks, and playing with up to three other friends in 4-player, local co-op seems like a real blast. Take down ruthless arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks together by downloading the title here.

Check out the gallery below for gameplay screenshots, and an introductory look at the seven aforementioned heroes you can choose from. Also embedded further down is The Expendabros launch trailer.
