Welcome to Chicago in Watch_Dogs

Watch_Dogs-Screen-03

Now that Watch_Dogs is back on track for release, it seems Ubisoft have jumped back on the marketing horse. The publisher just released a new trailer for the highly anticipated game, entitled “Welcome to Chicago”. The trailer introduces us to the windy city, showcasing its landmarks and just how much the streets are bustling with life.

NPC behaviours are shown to be quite dynamic, adding to that real sense of life and activity. The trailer also breaks down the control and notoriety the player will have as Aiden Pearce in the game world. Most notable, however, are the quick snippets of gameplay that flash across the screen in a blazing fast montage at the end of the video, as it includes the above visual, as well as a spider-like robot and a mechanical dragon breathing fire. Chicago is an odd place. Check out “Welcome to Chicago” embedded directly below. Watch_Dogs releases worldwide on May 27. Click here for information on the exclusive PlayStation content.

TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS MEETS SOUL SACRIFICE IN NEW CROSSOVER MISSIONS FOR PLAYSTATION VITA 

New Multiplayer Missions and Themed Armor Available Now  

TECMO KOEI America announced that exciting new multiplayer missions and themed armor is now available for the crossover collaboration between critically acclaimed PlayStation® Vita tactical action title, TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS, and fan favorite action adventure game, SOUL SACRIFICE.

TOUKIDEN players can now test their skills in two new multiplayer missions featuring one of the most feared monsters in the SOUL SACRIFICE universe: the three-headed guardian Cerberus. These two missions, entitled “Hell’s Guard Dog” and “Dogs of War,” are accessed via the Portal Stone and multiplayer lobbies. Due to their difficulty they are only recommended for slayer groups of great level and skill, with highly upgraded equipment.

In addition, players can roam the battlefields dressed up in a new piece of armor as the Noble Raiment’s from SOUL SACRIFICE, available now via the PlayStation® Store. 

Both missions and the new armor are available now, free of charge through the PlayStation Store.

TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS casts players in the role of a Slayer: a skilled warrior charged with hunting monstrous Oni (demons) that threaten all of humanity. With a rich story exploring many eras of Japanese history, memorable characters, stunning visuals, complex combat system, and four-player support, TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS represents the most ambitious title to date from the team at Omega Force.  TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS is set in a vibrant, fantasy infused representation of Japanese history spanning from the Asuka period to the final days of the Tokugawa shogunate. New Slayers will begin their journey on the frontlines of battle in the Utakata Village, build a party from a cast of memorable characters, and join the hunt for adventure with up to four friends via ad-hoc multiplayer. TOUKIDEN: THE AGE OF DEMONS has been rated “T” (TEEN) by the ESRB.

Galactic Civilizations III Alpha Blasts Off on Steam Today

– Begin an incredible galactic journey today in the next entry to one of the highest-rated PC strategy game franchises of all time –


PLYMOUTH, MI – March 27, 2014 – Would-be space emperors can now begin the fight for galactic supremacy as Stardock announced that the alpha for Galactic Civilizations III is available on Steam for Founder’s Elite Edition owners at http://store.steampowered.com/app/226860/. Galactic Civilizations III is the highly anticipated third installment in Stardock’s critically acclaimed 4X PC strategy franchise, coming exclusively to 64-bit PCs.

“Founder’s Elite Edition owners can take this opportunity to help Stardock shape the final product,” said Derek Paxton, vice president of Stardock Entertainment. “We love working directly with the fans, and getting feedback in this critical early stages is the only way to make the best game possible.”

Elite Edition owners will automatically receive all future DLC and expansions to Galactic Civilizations III for free, get their names in the credits, receive a special forum badge, and can name a star that will appear in the final game at launch.

Paxton continued, “Though we’re still early in development, the core Galactic Civilizations gameplay is functional – we’re excited to collaborate with our fans as the game evolves in preparation for its final release next year. The alpha enables fans to jump in, develop their empires, and annihilate their enemies with fleets of powerful warships.”

The alpha includes both single player against the AI as well as multiplayer via the Internet. It also introduces the newly implemented ideology system, which gives players unique benefits for choosing merciless, benevolent, or pragmatic paths. Additionally, the alpha introduces a new economic system that gives players intuitive, visual control over the overall production of their empire.

“Galactic Civilizations is the defining franchise for Stardock,” said CEO Brad Wardell. “The original OS/2 version was the first commercial 32-bit PC game. Galactic Civilizations III is our first natively 64-bit game, which gives us the capability to create the experience we’ve always wanted to make. Our team has never been more focused and dedicated, and we look forward to creating new Galactic Civilizations adventures for years to come.”

Galactic Civilizations III is the ultimate space 4X strategy game that pits players against rival alien races as they fight for galactic domination through technical, economic, political, and military means. When the latest iteration of this fan-favorite series launches, players will be able to design their own ships in the overhauled ship builder, and colonize unique planets in the massive galaxy, all while on the quest to make their empire the greatest the galaxy has ever seen.

Wolfenstein: The New Order ‘Panzerhund Edition’ revealed but be careful

Wolfenstein-The-New-Order-Panzerhund-Edition-01

Earlier this week Bethesda announced that they would be releasing Wolfenstein: The New Order worldwide on May 20th and now it looks like die-hard fans of the series will be able to pick up a little something extra to go along with their purchase, even if it is a bit odd. Today Bethesda has revealed the “Panzerhund Edition” for Wolfenstein: The New Order which comes in at a $100 price tag, a relatively paltry sum considering the things shown above but there is a reason for that… it lacks an actual copy of the game.

You see, while this Panzerhund Edition comes with an 8″ statue of the Panzerhund enemy, patches, a locker to keep everything in and a lot more, a copy of the game is not included so this means that you will need to purchase this and go out and buy a copy of the game to actually be able to play the game. This is a nice little offering and a way to give gamers a chance to pick up some neat extras if they feel like it, but it does come off as a bit strange and hopefully there will be no issues with gamers buying this expecting a copy of the game to be included when the title is released.

The video can be found below and it is worth noting that Blackjack with Megurine Luka is included in its entirety at the end of the video.

Hozuki No Reitetsu
Episode 12 – Lady Lilith And Her Husband/Why Monsters Are So Widely Spread Throughout Mundane China

Another week, another episode and I’m so glad because I cannot get enough of Hozuki No Reitetsu. Welcome back to another installment of Hozuki No Reitetsu Anime Impressions, I hope you’ve all been as excited about this new episode as I have! This week marks the release of Hozuki No Reitetsu episode twelve: An episode that introduces us to the “corrupted” mother of all mankind and one that confirms that having Hozuki in your life only means turmoil in the end.

Lady Lilith And Her Husband:

Finding love in life is hard but it’s also pretty hard even in death and don’t think becoming a high-level demon is going to raise your chances of hooking a “hottie”. If you’re anything like European Hell’s second in command, Beelzebub, you may go against everything I just said and get with some fine-looking broad in the afterlife but if it IS anything like Beelzebub’s situation, it may not be that of a good one. The first half of episode twelve introduces us to a beautiful young woman who goes by the name of Lilith. She’s introduced as a temptress-type demon but in the same sentence she’s also described as the original wife of Adam…as in; Adam and Eve. It turns out that couple were the first ever human beings to be married but also the very first two human beings to get divorced. After fighting about who gets to be “on top”, as described in the show, the two decide to part ways with Adam going off and doing whatever it was he did and Eve changing her name to Lilith and going on one hell of a manhunt…the good kind, ladies. Throughout the rest of her existence she simply acted more like a succubus than anything else but instead of living her victims lifeless she just left them penniless making her hells greatest gold-digger. Now the bride of Beelzebub, Satan’s second in command, Lilith hasn’t changed too much from how she was described.

Hozuki-No-Reitetsu-Episode-12-Screenshot-03

Despite them being bound by unholy matrimony Lilith still continues to prance around town getting with any man she can making her…not so loyal to her hubby. She heads down to Japanese hell one day alongside her husband and his boss Satan for a “press conference” of sorts and while the two men are doing their hellish duty she’s out on the town living it up…with Hozuki and the gang. Obviously hilarity ensues when Lilith falls for Hozuki and he shows no interest towards her, instead he introduces her to a known male gigolo, our friend Hakutaku. The two immediately click and that’s the last we see of them. The rest of the episode has Beelzebub trying his best to beat Hozuki in any way he can just to prove that he’s the greater demon, but Hozuki being the main character barely gives the poor guy an inch. This half of the episode featured something we haven’t seen in Hozuki No Reitetsu for a while at this point in time and that’s some classic slap-stick comedy. The one-sided competition between Beelzebub and Hozuki was undoubtedly the most humorous part of this episode and it really made it for me. I was happy to see European Hell character come back into the story, they’re probably my most favored characters apart from the main crew because they’re just so goofy.

Hozuki-No-Reitetsu-Episode-12-Screenshot-04

Why Monsters Are So Widely Spread Throughout Mundane China:

Everyone reading this has clearly been following Hozuki No Reitetsu since the very first episode. In twelve episodes the series has taught us that having Hozuki around is like having an unbreakable curse but I’m sure we all knew that by the end of the first episode. Each and every person he comes into contact with almost always goes through some sort of Hozuki-induced trauma…and that’s just the people he DOES like. In this half of episode twelve the audience takes a step back into the past of Hakutaku. In previous episodes it was noted that Hakutaku is actually a ferocious and mystical Chinese beast but all we see him as is what looks like a typical human-type creature living somewhere in the afterlife. This episode is like a lot of my favorites; it takes a myth or legend and puts it in simple words while also being quite accurate tot he original story. It centers around Hakutaku and his connection to the “Yellow Emperor” of Chinese mythology who encountered each other a very long time ago while Hakutaku was out on one of his drunken strolls and the emperor was out patrolling his land. Without doing the whole “play-by-play” way of writing anime impressions I’m just going to jump straight into what I enjoyed about the episode: I loved the way the stories of Hozuki and Hakutaku intertwined but neither of them remember encountering each other so long ago.

Hozuki-No-Reitetsu-Episode-12-Screenshot-05

You see, during that time Hozuki was out patrolling other afterlives to investigate the ways in which they were run, what structures have been put in place for the souls of the deceased and just how everything ran in general. He just so happened to be on an “excursion”  to the Chinese afterlife when he happened to come into contact with a very young Hakutaku who was much more of a drinker back then. Hozuki used alcohol to his advantage and got Hakutaku drunk enough to spill the beans about what exactly was going on in the Chinese afterlife. After giving all the information he could, Hakutaku decided to head off for a stroll, that stroll just so happened to be the one where he fell through the clouds in Shangri-La and down to earth where he was met by the Yellow Emperor and his crew. It was just an interesting half of the episode that, although not exactly hilarious, did give more insight into the world of Hozuki No Reitetsu while also teaching us a thing or two about Chinese culture and mythology which is something I really enjoy and something that I believe Hozuki No Reitetsu does better than any other anime series I’ve seen as of late.
