The first campaign expansion for Total War: Rome II, Caesar in Gaul, has launched on Steam and brings the seven-year Gallic war to player’s monitors. Like with most expansions, the scope is tightened on a smaller but more in-depth area of the world map in Western Europe.

Caesar in Gaul brings back seasonal changes, multiple turns per year and a few new gameplay effects and visual changes for the real-time strategy game. A new historical battle is added, the Battle of Alesia, which happened to be Caesar’s decisive struggle in the war for Gaul and where players must survive a two-pronged assault by Gallic forces.

Along with the content, a new patch has arrived for everyone bringing important gameplay changes. For full change notes, visit the official site. Check out the official trailer below.

AC4: Black Flag’s New DLC Has a Live-Action Clip

ac4-freedom-cry-live

To celebrate the release of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – Freedom Cry, Ubisoft has made a short live-action video with a CGI character model running amock on the rooftops of Quebec. See it below.

While it’s not exactly relevant to Freedom Cry since players take on the role of Kenway’s machete-wielding quartermaster, Adewale, it is a spiffy piece of promotion. Freedom Cry is the first major DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and features roughly three hours of gameplay that follows Adewale’s vendetta against the enslavery of his people.

Check out our recent review of the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag to see what all the fuss is about.

NEW YORK – December 17, 2013 – Wadjet Eye Games, an independent developer and publisher of retro-styled adventure games, is today expanding onto the Android, Mac, and Linux platforms with Gemini Rue, the company’s best-selling game to date. The new versions released this morning as part of Humble Bundle: PC and Android 8: https://www.humblebundle.com/

Developed by UCLA Design | Media Arts graduate Joshua Nuernberger, IGF winner Gemini Rue is an old school adventure game that combines point-and-click gameplay with gritty, low-res graphics and a gripping neo-noir narrative. Alternating between ex-assassin Azriel Odin and hospital inmate Delta-Six in a bleak future dominated by the corrupt Boryokudan crime syndicate, players must uncover the secrets both protagonists are guarding and uncover their unlikely bond.

Gemini Rue was widely praised when it originally released for PC, earning an IGF Student Showcase award, IGN’s Editor’s Choice award, Adventure Game of the Year from GameSpy and PC Gamer, and an 85% average review score on GameRankings.com. More recently, the iPhone / iPad version was praised as “a must-buy addition to your App collection” by Slide to Play, “an excellent port of an excellent adventure” by AppSpy, and “easily one of the best modern point-and-click adventures around” by PocketGamer, who also honored Gemini Rue with a Gold Award and selected it as Game of the Week.

The new Android version can be purchased outside of the Humble Bundle for $4.99 from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wadjeteye.geminirue.google) and is coming soon to the Amazon Appstore. Currently exclusive to Humble Bundle: PC and Android 8, the Mac and Linux versions will later go on sale from Wadjet Eye’s website and other online stores.

Remember when Cranky Kong got announced? Well, I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze as Nintendo are planning a Nintendo Direct in mere hours to showcase a selection of titles releasing in early 2014.

As usual, the show will be hosted by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata and Nintendo of Europe President Satoru Shibata, but other than those two, we know nothing of what will be shown (aside from Wii U and 3DS titles). I would expect to see some clips from already announced titles, but it is Nintendo we are talking about here, and with these Nintendo Directs, it is best to expect the unexpected. Check out all of the locations you can view the event below, as well as times.

 

To tune in, check out the Nintendo Direct website on 18th December at 2pm GMT, where the broadcast will be streamed.
