May 15, 2013

Tiger & Bunny is a series that is exceptional in a number of ways. So much in fact that not only has Viz brought the anime overseas, but they have even begun releasing the manga in North America. Now while the first half of the Tiger & Bunny anime was released a few months ago, the second half has finally been released today.

The anime is available on both Blu-ray and DVD and will cost $54.97 or $44.92 respectively. It appears that both versions will feature the same special features in the form of production sketches, storyboards and a few additional scenes. Those who wish to see what we thought of the first half of the series on DVD you can find our review of it here.

If you feel like dropping some more money or Microsoft Points on Borderlands 2 this late in the game then you will be happy to hear that Borderlands 2’s next playable character, Krieg the Psycho Bandit is now available for download on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC for $10 or 800 MSP. It is worth noting that Krieg is not part of the Season Pass so everyone will need to pay a little extra to play as this character.

As for how Krieg the Psycho plays, Gearbox has released the below three minute trailer showing off what the character can do, though it mostly involves the killer use of a buzzsaw.

Resident Evil: Revelations has some awesome unlockable costumes

Capcom is the recipient of a lot of flak when it comes to DLC and while most of it is well-deserved, it seems that they haven’t forgotten that some unlockable content should be available on the disc right from the start. Today it was announced that Capcom’s re-release of Resident Evil: Revelations will have some special costumes for Chris, Jill and Keith.

Chris will be given a sailor outfit, Jill will sport a pirate costume and Keith will be given a special ninja style outfit. It was not announced how these costumes will be unlocked but the company did mention that players should play through campaign mode, raid mode and more to find out how to unlock them.

Considering it is a Tuesday, we have some more information from the leaked scans of Dengeki PlayStation and this time around we have more information concerning Atelier Escha & Logy Alchemist of Twilight Sky. However while I did mention that characters were revealed, they are not playable characters.

As you can see to the scan on the right, we have Katla Larchica who is a twelve year old assistant at the general store, Solle Grumman who is the clerk at the general store and Mici Sun Mussenburg who is a fourteen year old member of the elite, but unfortunately no other details were provided for him.

Outside of this it was also revealed that while players travel on the field to collect items and battle against enemies, a gauge on the left of the screen will fill up. Once the gauge is full players can trigger a special battle that will reward a victory with rare items. Footage of this gauge can be seen in the forty six minute long gameplay video released yesterday.

You may have heard last week that Bethesda is working on bringing the next Wolfenstein game out sometime closer to the end of this year. However at the time the company did not provide any screenshots of what fans can expect.

That all changed today when the company released the debut screenshots of Wolfenstein: The New Order which can be checked out below alongside some enemy and firearm concept art. When the game is released, it will apparently “reignite” the Wolfenstein franchise. Currently the game is being developed for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, next-gen Xbox and PC.

After a substantial time in beta testing the free-to-play multiplayer game DUST 514 is finally available for everyone on the PlayStation 3 today, marking the first ever multiplayer first person shooter to be released free-to-play on a console. But players shouldn’t worry about the game being released and forgotten by developer CCP Games, as plans are in place to update and upgrade the game for the next several years while still maintaining its free-to-play status.

Linked to the space MMO EVE Online, DUST 514 sees players taking the role of mercenaries fighting for whomever or whatever they choose even getting aid from orbital strikes from ships in EVE. This link will prove vital as they fight over who controls what planets or entire systems.

With the release today, new item bundles have been released to the PSN Store to help those not present for the beta get a bit of a leg up, if they so choose. These new bundles include:

Mercenary Pack – 40,000 Aurum to spend in-game, a 30-day skill booster (+50%), and exclusive gear for $19.99 (£15.99 / €19.99)
Veteran Pack – Dropsuits, boosters, 100,000 Aurum, a permanent Blood Raider Acolyte vehicle, a deadly sniper rifle, and more for $49.99 (£39.99 / €49.99)
Elite Pack – 200,000 Aurum, boosters, four dropsuits, multiple weapons, a permanent light attack vehicle, and a collection of Heavy Assault Vehicles all for $99.99 (£84.99 / €99.99)

Whether interested in those bundles or not, players can check out DUST 514 on their PlayStation 3 now to join the fight completely free.
