JUDE MATHIS AND LEIA ROLANDO RETURN FOR TALES OF XILLIA 2

JUDE MATHIS AND LEIA ROLANDO RETURN FOR TALES OF XILLIA 2

BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. today released new assets for TALES OF XILLIA® 2.  The new assets focus on returning characters; Jude Mathis and Leia Rolando, who both befriend the main characters Ludger and Elle as they make their way to the Land of Canaan.  Players will be able to meet up and partner with many returning characters from TALES OF XILLIA® along Ludger and Elle’s journey and learn about their lives over the past year through character specific side stories throughout the game.

Jude Mathis

Much has changed for Jude in the past year. In a world where the schism—which previously divided the worlds of Rieze Maxia and Elympios – has been dispelled at last, Jude toils endlessly in his research of spyrite: an alternative energy source which could replace spyrix and solve Elympios’ energy crisis without the expense of the spirits. If he could perfect it, spyrite could be the key to eliminating the tension between the two worlds and truly uniting their people once and for all—but there are those that would try to stop him.

Leia Rolando

Leia has always been energetic and inquisitive, and this nature of hers has led her to become a reporter for a local newspaper in Elympios, as she aims to promote cultural understanding between the two nations through the articles she writes. Her editor isn’t so easily impressed, however, and she works hard endlessly in pursuit of a story that’ll warm him up to her writing. For better or for worse though, she may get the scoop of a lifetime sooner than she thinks.

TALES OF XILLIA 2 will be available August 19, 2014 throughout the Americas exclusively on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.  A TALES OF XILLIA 2 Collector’s Edition is also available for $129.99 and includes the following items: TALES OF XILLIA 2 software, Ludger Kresnik figure, Elle’s PocketWatch replica compact, Rollo plush charm, TALES OF XILLIA 2 music selection CD, TALES OF XILLIA 2 art book and classic TALES OF costume DLC.

 

TALES OF XILLIA 2 will be playable at the BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. E3 meeting room June 10-12, 2014.  For more information about TALES OF XILLIA 2 and the TALES OF series, please visit http://www.bandainamcogames.com, http://www.facebook.com/tales, and http://www.facebook.com/bandainamcous.

 

‘Linkin Park Recharge – Wastelands’ Is Now Available On The App Store

‘Linkin Park Recharge – Wastelands’ Is Now Available On The App Store

Includes Exclusive Bonus Track “Wastelands”

Hamburg / Los Angeles – 06.06.2014 Hit international rock band Linkin Park today announced the official launch of the 3D action game “Linkin Park Recharge – Wastelands”. Developed in close cooperation with Swiss games company Kuuluu Interactive Entertainment AG, the iPad game is available now on the App Store. With the game, players receive exclusive access to the song “Wastelands” prior to its release on Linkin Park’s album “The Hunting Party” due mid-June.

Linkin Park Recharge – Wastelands is a third person action shooter with tactical elements set in the not too distant future. The Earth is a barren desert. Its people have exhausted all the planet’s natural resources through their insatiable appetite for more. Society and the few remaining energy stores are now under the control of machines, the Hybrids, and an elite minority.

As a member of a specialized resistance unit, the player will fight through hostile territory and complete missions through judicious use of resources. The enemies are the “Hybrids,” a race of genetically engineered bio-mechanical androids who rule over the post-apocalyptic planet. The player will travel through the hostile wastelands on different missions with the aim of depriving the Hybrids of the energy they so badly need. When beaten, some Hybrids will relinquish rare and powerful equipment and valuable crystals, the currency of the Resistance.

Players will put their tactical skills to the test in over 50 missions, and compete against friends to rise up the online leaderboards.

Linkin Park, also appearing as game characters in LP RECHARGE – WASTELANDS, wants to do more than simply entertain. The band is aiming to highlight the problems of energy poverty and promote better management and use of our planet‘s resources. Founded in 2005, the non-profit organization Music For Relief supports victims of natural disasters and projects for clean energy. The Power The World program also aims to help people for whom inadequate energy supply has a negative impact on health, education, safety and general quality of life.

 Linkin Park Recharge – Wastelands is available for download on the App Store for the iPad for $2,99. In-App Purchases are available but can be disabled through your iPad settings. The latest version of iOS is recommended.

Crimes & Punishments E3 Trailer Uncovered

crimes-and-punishments-sherlock-holmes-screenshot-04

Ahead of E3 2014 in Los Angeles next week, where Crimes & Punishments will be presented to trade members on the floor, Focus Home Interactive have shared the official E3 trailer for the forthcoming Sherlock Holmes entry. Check it out embedded at the bottom of this article.

Gamers on their Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC will be able to experience 6 investigations upon release, each teaming with suspects. Identifying which of them is the killer in each case will require gathering and analysing clues gathered at the crime scenes, and obtaining information through interrogations. If your deductions are wrong, either because you were plainly incorrect or did not find sufficient evidence needed to make an educated decision, an innocent man/woman may be condemned and, as can be seen in the trailer below, that can lead to much more tragic outcomes than simply life in jail.
