Aisha Tyler’s Watch_Dogs Role Revealed

July 31, 2013

Aisha-Tyler-Watch_Dogs-01 — **She must appreciate that the developers made her a multi-billionaire!**

It’s been known since her appearance promoting the game on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon after E3 2013, that Aisha Tyler would have a cameo role in Ubisoft‘s Watch_Dogs. Now, we know what that role is…

Aisha will be just another citizen living in the game version of Chicago, reflecting her real life persona – except with a whole lot more money! However, if this video is anything to go by, it would seem that she is destined for a grissly end. Check it out directly below!

This is a cool celebrity cameo because of who Aisha is. She is a true gamer, and her first Ubisoft E3 Press Conference hosting gig came out of her public expression of fandom and excitement for the team’s work. She was unjustly attacked by viewers of the event, but defended herself in an ‘awesome’ manner. She became the spokesperson for Watch_Dogs, not because she’s in it, but because she’s a fan and knows her stuff through and through. I have a lot of respect for the comedian and hope that I – as Aiden Pearce – will be able to prevent her death by garbage truck. Might even make Aiden her stalker…okay, now this is getting weird!

Oh and everyone, let’s not freak out about the graphical quality of the gameplay footage: it is current generation. Like that should even matter…hypocrites.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Ultimate Edition is headed to the PC soon, and Konami have a nice offer for those who pre-order off of Steam. Instead of getting a bonus such as a skin or something else unnecessary, Konami are offering up a nice 10% discount on the game to those buying early, which should assist in more ways than one.

You could say “Why not a piece of DLC?”, but that again is something you won’t be needing with this quite “Ultimate” release of the favorite, as Lords of Shadow includes it all – with Reverie and Resurrection already in the package. The special features can be found below, and if you are so inclined, follow this little link to lock in your Castlevania fix and download the now available demo to give the game a spin.

Storyline: Players can immerse themselves into the Lords of Shadow storyline, meeting classic characters and experiencing tangential side stories.
Weapons and Skills: Overcome obstacles using the Combat Cross multi-function weapon and hone platforming skills in this sprawling adventure. Swing across chasms, climb sheer walls, rappel down cliffs, grip and pull away any and all things that get in the way!
Titan Battles: Take on behemoth enemies that scale to the size of complete world environments and where special attacks and cunning speed are required for advancement.
Exploration: Explore gothic ruins, dark castles, old forest and frozen wastelands. Discover a whole world to investigate with many routes and hidden secret places that contain items to aid Gabriel on his quest.

We have seen quite a few models for the 3DS since its release, with the platform going pink, themed, and several other colors – but Nintendo are now ready to go back to basics with a sleek black model for the 3DS XL. The new color will join the 3DS’ family on August 11th, which happens to be the same day as the release for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team in the U.S.

Not too shabby at all, and considering the growing library as of late, more color – or less in this case, seems to be a welcome addition for those who have yet to make the plunge.

For a being that was accidentally teleported to Earth, we humans certainly love the Martian Manhunter. Today is the day that he finally – after months of requests – joins the roster of Netherrealm Studios‘ Injustice: Gods Among Us. You can purchase and download the last Martian in existence for 400 Microsoft Points or AUD $7.35 on the PSN Store – no Season Pass privileges for this second wave of DLC content.

The DC Comics hero and member of the Justice League will likely not agree with Superman’s regime, although his own allegiances have been tested over the years. In the end though, he vowed to protect the planet from evil, and if that means confronting the Man of Steel, then that’s what has to be done. For those who are unfamiliar with his past from the comics, or just need a refresher course, you can check out his Character History trailer embedded below! You can also view gameplay footage of J’onn J’onzz here.

ATLUS‘ hack and slash, beat ’em up game Dragon’s Crown is almost here!

The final trailer to be shown before the game’s release, focuses on good ‘ol fashioned orc-kicking action. Previously revealed trailers have already showcased the abilities of the available Amazon, Wizard, Elf, Dwarf, Sorceress and Fighter classes.

Dragon’s Crown is a multiplayer hack and slash beat ’em up game with breathtaking visual style, a design built around cooperative play and epic boss fights, and the ability to discover a new adventure in every play session. With Dragon’s Crown, developer Vanillaware deftly marries stunning hand-drawn and animated art work with deep, action-packed hardcore gameplay. Dragon’s Crown allows up to four players to team up online to clear out monster-ridden dungeons, discover precious treasure, and destroy awe-inspiring bosses.

Its unique, highly replayable design means that every time players can boot up and log on, they can expect a different experience and hours upon hours of satisfying adventuring. Unparalleled in their unique style, developer Vanillaware painstakingly hand-paints every detail, be it a blade of grass or the scales on the game’s impressive dragons. The game becomes a lush, vibrant storybook come to life when everything starts to animate in gorgeous full HD.

Dragon’s Crown will be released on August 6th and will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita systems for $49.99 and $39.99 respectively. For more information, visit the official site and Facebook page. The adventure begins!

Razer Releases Improved Naga MMO Mouse and Left Handed Version

Razer is improving on their wildly popular Razer Naga MMO Gaming Mouse. The new version will feature mechanical switches for the thumb buttons, improving durability. The thumb buttons themselves have been reshaped, making it easier for players to identify specific buttons by feel. Additionally, the whole mouse body has been tweaked slightly to fit better for a wider variety of hand sizes. The Razer Synapse 2.0 software is also receiving an update, allowing the Naga‘s macro keys to be reprogrammed through an in-game overlay.

For left handed gamers who have been stuck with FPS-oriented ambidextrous mice, Razer is introducing a left handed model of the Naga, providing the same features as the Naga MMO. Min-Liang Tan, Razer’s CEO, stated that the left handed edition will most likely be a fiscal loss for the company. However, the goodwill gesture towards an often ignored population of gamers will be much appreciated by left handed gamers everywhere.

The new Razer Naga and the Left Handed Edition costs $109.95 AUD / $149.95 NZD.

Blade-9-01 — **Let the battle begin! In Europe!**

Chinese game developer MoreFunPlay have announced that they are ready to bring the much anticipated MMO RPG Blade 9 to the European PC market.

Blade 9 is a tale of divine weapons, once wielded in unified form by a powerful god! 1,000 years later and the weapon has shattered into 9 shards – each taking on the form of a stylized Ruin Weapon. When these mystical artifacts combine, great power can be obtained for the bearer. Engaging features include the use of Merge Stones and the power of each of the nine Ruin Weapons – how long can each player hold onto one of these powerful instruments of destruction? The Ruin Weapons have been apart longer than living memory. Who will reunite the pieces and fight the forces threatening the world’s existence? This planet needs a new champion – could it be you?

In order to create a more user driven experience, the developers plan to listen to the Blade 9 community in order to see exactly what fans wish to be implemented. Users will be able to suggest new ideas and help shape the direction of Blade 9 in the coming months.

Blade-9-02 — **A Hero is born! In Europe!**

Hendry Wang (Senior Overseas Director) stated:

‘‘We’ve had great success so far with the game in Asia and are looking forward to branching out with Blade 9 into European markets. With the level of user interaction and community creativity on offer, this will be a great opportunity for gamers to get involved with shaping the game in the direction they want it to go. We also have the very exciting Player Vs. Player (PVP) feature in-game, which is a key element when providing a healthy competition environment for those who are part of this growing online community.’’

Blade 9 is set to make its European debut in Autumn. For more information, visit the official site and Facebook page. Get ready to sharpen your blade!
