Last year, PC and Xbox 360 gamers got an epic action FPS, Deadfall Adventures. Now PlaySation 3 gamers can finally get in on the action as well. Independent developer The Farm 51 announced that Deadfall Adventures is coming to PS3, with a number of extra enhancements.

The game differs a bit from the original version, bringing improved gameplay and a number of changes to the table. Titled Deadfall Advenures: Heart of Atlantis, it still is largely based on the Allan Quartermain novels written by Henry Rider Haggard. Players fill the role of James Lee Quartermain, grandson of the famous adventurer, as he searches for treasure in locales such as the ice of the Arctic North, deserts of Egypt and jungles of Guatemala.

Changes that The Farm 51 has pointed out are the addition of a new co-op survival mode, along with new boss fights, cut scenes, locations and an improved leveling system. The developer also plans to put a cherry on top by overhauling the graphics. Though there is no date yet set for this release, but we should see it this summer.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Motion Character Posters

TMNT-Poster-05

Paramount Pictures have released four motion character posters promoting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, depicting each of our favorite shelled crime-fighters.

Directed by Michael Bay, the film has already garnered a substantial amount of attention due to that sole fact, with the divisive director carrying a lot of expectations on his shoulders (as he did for Transformers). He doesn’t like the easy route does he? Franchises as beloved as these have rabid fans, and although the group have undergone a grittier and, let’s face it, grotesque makeover, let’s not forget that these are humanoid turtles. And if the latest trailer is anything to go by, the film looks entertaining and in keeping with the overall spirit of the original series. Check out the above-mentioned motion character posters below! TMNT releases on September 11, 2014.

Games that are based on popular movie franchises often suffer in the voice acting department, either with sound-alikes that don’t quite match up with their movie counterparts, or brand new actors that don’t even resemble the source material. Well, SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox look to buck that trend with the upcoming Alien: Isolation by bringing back the cast of the original Alien film for two bonus DLC missions. (in addition to the new cast that have been introduced just for the game)

Sigourney Weaver (Ellen Ripley), Rom Skerrit (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dead Stanton (Brett), Yaphet Kotto (Parker) and Ian Holm (Ash, likeness and sound-alike) are set to feature in two downloadable missions that will be available for players who pre-order the game. The two missions; Crew Expendable and Last Survivor will allow you to relive some of the original film’s most intense scenes all over again.

Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7th on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and PC so make sure you get your pre-order squared off to ensure you get access to the content. As always, make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Alien news as it becomes available.
