Attack On Titan: The Last Wings – More Screenshots Released

Attack-On-Titan-01

The Attack On Titan 3DS game, The Last Wings, has been getting a lot of attention from Attack On Titan fans and Anime fans in general and, even though we don’t know a great deal about it, I believe people are very interested and very much anticipating it’s release which happens to be in December of this year. Well a fair few screenshots of the game were just released and, while they lack a bit of that Attack On Titan “Umph”, they’re looking pretty good. It was also announced that, in the game, you can choose to play Eren’s, Mikasa’s and Armin’s story. Within those selections you play as the character and take on their roles throughout the series of which it is based off of. There is also a four-player multi-player section of the game where characters are unique and customisable, that should be a great deal of fun! You can see the screenshots that have been released below in our Gallery Section and don’t forget to hit up our comments section below that to let us know what you think of this new game.

JJBA: All Star Battle Adds Old Joseph and Lisa Lisa as DLC

"Get in, Nerd! We're going DLC shopping."
“Get in, Nerd! We’re going DLC shopping.”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been out for a few weeks now and, yes, people are absolutely loving the all out action…people in Japan that is, there’s no sign of it having a release anywhere outside of the land of the rising sun just yet but I’m hoping it will be soon. Anyway, on to the actual news: It was just announced only yesterday that Old Joseph Joestar and Lisa Lisa have been released as DLC, their download will come with a small campaign which I can assume revolves around them and allows you to unlock them.

It was also announced that the characters Narciso Anasui and Vanilla Ice, from JJBA, will also be added as DLC characters as well as a character named Ikuro Hashizawa who is not from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure but from Hirohiko Araki’s previous Manga series called BAOH. I find that really cool and very interesting, just like how you could be Lars Alexanderson in one of the recent Naruto games just because Masashi Kishimoto came up with a costume design for Tekken. This game will continue getting DLC within the coming months, at least that’s what I think, so stick around for any news and information to come out of this release.

Two New Videos Released For Pokemon X and Y

Pokemon-X-and-y-Commercial-01

Both the Japanese side of Nintendo and the Western side have released a video for Pokemon X and Y, here we are coming into the final stretch and we still continue to get more and more from the franchise. These videos are a little bit different to the ones we’ve seen in the past. The first I want to talk about is the Japanese Trailer Video, while no new information or footage has been released within this trailer, it HAS given us a really big overview of everything we’ve seen so far. It shows us Mega Evolutions, full character customisation, some of the new-released Pokemon, etc. It is a basically a trailer that brings all the information we’ve been given into one, nice, little package. That trailer can be seen just below this paragraph:

The second video that has been released is an English Commercial which Nintendo has started streaming. It actually only shows a small part of the gameplay but that’s not what this video focuses on. The video mixes live action and CGI, showing real people with animated Pokemon in locations all around the world. The video is clever because each of the people talking have slightly different accents and are shown to be somewhere different in every shot, clearly this is meant to represent the games worldwide release which is a big deal because a Pokemon game has never been released worldwide on the same date ever before. It’s quirky and interesting and you can check out this video in the Featured Video Section just below this article. Start getting excited because Pokemon X and Y are set for release on October the 12th which isn’t too far away!

Crimson-Dragon_2013_06-10-13_002

It has been a few months since we heard that Crimson Dragon was going to be an Xbox One exclusive after being delayed numerous times on the Xbox 360. Since then Microsoft has been relatively quiet on the title outside of saying that the game can be played with both the controller and with the Kinect.

Well today a brand new trailer, which can be seen below, showing Crimson Dragon in action was released and can be seen below. While no price has been announced, Crimson Dragon will be a launch title on the Xbox One when it is released on November 22nd.

Grand Theft Auto V earns $800 million on launch day

GTAV-02

It looks like Grand Theft Auto V is set to smash all records as far as gaming sales go. So far on launch day alone the game has earned $800 million around the world. Not only is this the highest first day sales of any Grand Theft Auto game, but it is also the highest in the history of Rockstar.

It is also worth noting that this also smashed the record for the day-one sales in general as the $800 million earned by GTA V far surpasses the previous record holder Call of Duty: Black Ops II which earned somewhere in the $500 million range on its first day.
