PC owners can get in on the full body tracking craze their console brethren have been enjoying with Dancewall Remix. Originally, the game only supported Asus 3D cameras. Now, Extreme Reality and SoftKinetic have made the game work with any webcam paired with a computer running Windows 7 or 8. Dancewall Remix will be familiar to anyone who has seen the game show or played the video game Hole in the Wall. Players will need to strike poses that will fit through the oncoming silhouettes. Currently the game has three themed worlds inspired by disco, retro gaming, and bubblegum pop.

The game is now launched a Steam Greenlight campaign in hopes of landing on Steam.

EMBLEMATIC CHARACTERS FROM THE SOUL SERIES AVAILABLE IN SOULCALIBURTM LOST SWORDS

NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today confirmed that fan favorite characters from the Soul series will be playable in the upcomingSOULCALIBUR™ Lost Swords.

The next exciting chapter in the hit SOULCALIBUR franchise will be a Free to Play single player experience and will feature numerous famous fighters including Siegfried, Mitsurugi and Sophitia. As Nightmare, Pyrrha and Astaroth will also be playable in the game, watch the new gameplay videos featuring these beloved characters!

Nightmare  is the main antagonist of the  Soul series. He is the living incarnation of the cursed sword, Soul Edge, the objective of most other characters in the story. Under the sword’s control, he perpetually hunts souls in an attempt to satisfy its evil hunger. He possesses an intense power and performs tough and instantaneous attacks.

Pyrrha is a young nomadic girl who was abducted as a child by minions of Soul Edge. Though she dislikes fighting, she exhibits surprising strength and defense when the odds are against her. Unbeknownst to her, she holds the innate ability to be the next vessel for the evil sword. Her excellent skills with a shield provide her with standout defense and her counter-attack stance proves useful while dodging an opponent’s attacks.

Astaroth is a golem warrior created by the High Priest Kunpaetku of the cult Fygul Cestemus for the purpose of seizing the evil sword, Soul Edge. His existence comprises solely of instinctual destruction and slaughter. He is specialized in long-range attacks with his broad axe. He also possesses a tremendous ramming attack, as well as throws that maintain his superiority in battle.

SOULCALIBUR™ Lost Swords will be coming to Europe in 2014 exclusively on the PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

In order to follow the acclaimed piece of art created by Hirohoki Araki, CyberConnect2 closely replicated Moves from the Manga; the Joestars, their friends and their enemies will take advantage of their powerful and uniqueHeart Heat Attack (HHA) and Great Heart Heat Attack (GHA). The first one, the HHA, is a Special Attack taking each character’s ability to its paroxysm; striking it will cost the player one Heart Heat Gauge (filled while the players are fighting)! The second one, the GHA, is an Ultimate Attack mastered by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle fighters! Blasting it will cost the player two Heart Heat Gauges and will cause deadly damages to the opponent while the screen gets fully covered with JoJo-esque effects! 

Chapter 5: Golden Wind – Italy – In 2001, Koichi Hirose follows Kujo Jotaro’s request and goes to Naples in order to find a special person… This person turns out to be Gio rno Gio vana. The whole chapter focuses on the new JoJoand his quest of becoming the new Mafia boss in order to make Naples a better place to live! This risky challenge leads Gio rno Gio vana in the hearth of the “Passione” mob. After being put in the group of Bruno Bucciarati, JoJo manages to change Guido Mista, Narancia Ghirga and some other mobsters mind; they decided to agree with his vision of the Mafia! Following this, our hero’s group tries to discover who “the Boss” is. Is Diabolo the mafia boss? Is he behind all the drug dealing activities …? Terrible events await the players on Chapter 5!

Episode 12: Spit Your Sadness Away

Holy to the absolute crap. This episode definitely took one hell of a twisted turn. Alright, so we all knew that Ryuko isn’t the calmest student at Hannouji…but damn. We all knew from last week that she was angry at Nui…but this? This turned it up to eleven, then multiplied it by two.

In short: anger can be dangerous. Not just to those on the receiving end, but those who dole it out. Even if rage is a natural response, it is by no means the correct one. Those who allow themselves to be consumed by their most base emotion may just lose sight of what first drew that feeling out…and when they should stop. Ryuko learned that the hard way. As her fight with Nui took her far beyond her tolerance for hatred, she began to lose herself. Her blood boiled beyond any definition of safe and even Senketsu was unable to keep her in check. Then it happened…

Full. Blown. Monster. Beyond bestial fangs. Horrid, soulless eyes. An asymmetrical body, contorted beyond all possible human thresholds. Her neck was no longer attached to her body, rather it latched on to Sanketsu malformed eye. Not to mention the constant and catastrophic blood loss or the torturous, rasping screams. There really wasn’t much of Ryuko left in there. All that was left was hatred. Cruel, explosive hatred.

A writhing deformation of inconceivable malice

As Ryuko lashed out at all who dared tread near her, Mikisugi and Tsumugu called their plan into action from afar. The bullet. Tsumugu explains that the round possesses a “starching effect” and that whilst it will defeat clothing, the survival of the one wearing said clothes is not guaranteed. As Tsumugu enters the battlefield to try and halt Ryuko, he learns just how terrifying her power is. That being said, the staunch opposer of Life Fibres expressed a hint of sadness when he discovered that Ryuko had lost herself to the Kamui, expecting her will to be stronger than that. Even Mikisugi, for all his bravado, hesitated a number of times when he was about to pull the trigger. Not only that, but the two Nudists also bore witness to the incredible might of Nui Harime and…Satsuki. That’s right, even the illustrious President could not leave Ryuko unchecked. Descending from high she sought to destroy the one who would destroy her school, worse than that, the one who would allow their clothing to take control. It would seem that her indomitable, and slightly off kilter, pride momentarily aligned her with the greater good…it just so happened that it was against Ryuko. Though these incomparable warrior clashed in an unbelievably destructive battle, it was not Satsuki who brought an end to Ryuko’s madness. Rather, it was Mako who found the remaining thread of Ryuko’s humanity and pulled her from her self imposed desolation just in the nick of time. Even Satsuki notes this, telling Mako that Ryuko lived thanks to her efforts. Kind of a nice thing for the tyrant to say.

As is also common with Kill la Kill, we learned a great dell of backstory in yet another flashback…
As if we didn’t know already, Nui Harime is also proven to be an utter psychopath. Worse, an intelligent, manipulative psychopath. That didn’t save her however, from the apparently kickass Dr Matoi. Don’t let his looks fool you, which they will, that guy can fight. Flips, kicks, slashes. He even has a cool Life Fibre lab coat, though it apparently only has the power to retain shape. Still, handy. He was also able to wield his greatest invention: The Rending Scissors. Designed to cut and destroy those pesky little Life Fibres. However, his scientific acumen and skill with a bizarre blade were not enough to save him. Though he did put up one hell of a fight, right to the bitter end. He even managed to rob Nui of her left eye…served her right. However, he was able to hide Senkstsu’s existence from her, a fact which Satsuki believes fuelled her psychological attack on Ryuko. Though she of course denies this.

Before circumstance would tear it asunder

So this week we learned that Mikisugi’s fears are not entirely unfounded, as we were so clearly shown. Even Ryuko’s status as anime protagonist does not protect her from the caustic effects of pure seething hatred. That being said, rather than it being Senketsu who dominated Ryuko as Nudist Beach so frighteningly implied, it was in fact Ryuko who overwhelmed her Kamui and went on a roaring rampage of revenge. Were it not for the timely arrival of everyone’s favourite little oddball, our hero may very well have continued her jaunt through insanity and been dissolved by her own malice.

In a post credits scene we see that Satsuki is overseeing some repairs being made to Hannouji. Though Ryuko, now back to her regular level of anger and combativeness, leaps her and attempts to instigate another fight, Satsuki blocks with her usual grace. She also thanks Ryuko. Due to the data acquired during the Naturals Election, she has perfected her Goku Uniforms, and thus is ready to begin her domination of he West Academies. In one weeks time, Hannouji is going on a battlefield trip…and it won’t be fun. You can count on that.

The universal app can be downloaded here.

It also features real-time combat, over 200 items, treasures and hidden secrets, and multiple NPC dialogue options which open up depending on your decisions made up to the relevant encounter. It’s a premium release priced at $8.49, but if it delivers, that price tag might be worth it for potentially the best Western RPG title on the iPhone/iPad.

MX Vs. ATV Series Will Be Brought Back By Nordic Games

MX-versus-ATV-series-01

For fans of the extreme racing genre, 2014 will certainly give you a lot to look forward to. Nordic Games has announced that they have planned to resurrect the best selling MX vs. ATV series.

Nordic Games was able to acquire the rights to the great MX vs. ATV series from an agreement between Nordic Games and THQ. In this agreement, Nordic Games acquired a few intellectual properties of THQ, which includes the extreme racing game. The firm has brought together parts of the former team of the MX vs. ATV series in addition to newer, high-profile developers to add a new flair to the already great game.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with Nordic Games because they appreciate the team’s passion and dedication to bring the feel of real motocross racing to MX vs. ATV fans.  Not just the adrenaline rush, but the whole experience from top to bottom.”, says Ken George, Executive Producer of MX vs. ATV Supercross. “A lot of the original team members have been aching to continue their passion: building the most authentic off-road racing games possible. The hiatus is over, and the team is back to work on MX vs. ATV with great new things to come.”

The first game that’ll be released under the MX vs. ATV series will be MX vs. ATV: Supercross. While it will contain new features that will be sure to impress the people who love this game, it will keep most of the features that makes it such a great game. The team will also be maintaining the existing MX vs. ATV series, which includes MX vs. ATV Alive and MX vs. ATV Reflex.

We’ll keep you updated with the latest news on Nordic Games latest endeavor.
