One of Killer is Dead’s Mondo’s girls is a first run bonus

killer-is-dead-betty-reveal- (1)

We’ve already seen that Killer is Dead’s main character Mondo Zappa is quite the ladies’ man and we’ve been introduced to a few of these “Mondo Girls” as well. However it seems that Grasshopper is planning on giving launch day buyers an extra bonus.

Today it was revealed that a girl named Betty who is described as a beauty from Eastern Europe will be a DLC code that will be included in all first run copies of the game. To accentuate this bonus, all first copies will also include a code for a special pair of sunglasses named Gigolo Glasses that will allow him to see through the girls’ clothing. Currently it is unknown whether or not these first-run bonuses will be included in XSEED’s North American release.

harvest-moon-a-new-beginning-boxartWhile it has always taken then a few months longer than normal, the Harvest Moon games have always ended up in PAL territories eventually. However it seems that the latest game in the series, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning may not be coming over with the help of Rising Star Games.

Instead a rating by Germany’s USK has listed the publisher as Zen-United, the company which usually handles Blazblue in Europe. This is certainly a surprising change considering the Harvest Moon titles have been handled in the PAL regions by Rising Star Games since 2004. At the moment it is currently unknown whether or not this listing can be trusted, but it is certainly interesting.

It looks like the next round of news for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will be unveiled in a little over a week on May 19th.

It is interesting to note that the Japanese magazine CoroCoro Comic which also has been known to reveal Pokémon news may contain a number of these announcements. But either way, keep an eye out for some new Pokémon info over the next week.

Great news for those of you who fondly remember the hostile racing of the Road Rash games, the Kickstarter project for Road Redemption, a motorcycle combat game which was inspired by Road Rash has met its Kickstarter goal with only two days left to go.

At the time of this writing the company has earned $166,000 of the $160,000 needed to fund the project. Though it is worth noting that currently Road Redemption is only going to be made on the PC, Wii U, Mac and Linux platforms and those who want a XBLA port will have to help the project reach its $178,000 stretch goal.

Laike’s PC Download Deals 5/10/2013

defiance-screenshot-04

My pick for Deal of the Week is 50% off for Defiance at Nuuvem! Nuuvem is a Brazilian retailer and the site is in Portuguese  so I recommend using Google Translate. The game itself is the English version. This is my pick of the week because this is the cheapest price for Defiance by far. Most prices for the game range from 20-30% off.

Defiance itself is an excellent MMO shooter. It suffered from a buggy release, but Trion World has been busy patching the game. Defiance the game ties in with Defiance the show on the SyFy network. So far the tie ins have involved simpler activities like finding lore related tape decks scattered across the world, but a new contest that will put the winner’s avatar on the show is currently running. The show has recently been signed for a second season. Be sure to read our full review of Defiance.

    Entropia Universe Virtual Moon Auctioned for Large Amount

    Entropia Universe Virtual Moon Auctioned for Large Amount

    Virtual-Moon-Auctioned-for-Large-Amount

    In a world where a Massively Multiplayer Online Real Cash Economy is an actual thing, you can imagine that there has to be a number one, a top dog just like in any economy. This honor is currently held by MindArk AB, the absolute largest operator of any MMORCE, and they have announced something a little hard to believe. A newly discovered moon in their title Entropia Universe for PC has sold for 1.5 million PED, the in-game currency, which translates into a whopping $150, 000 real currency.

    This may sound like a waste of money for an in-game item, but bidder Jan Terje Egeland sees it as an investment like any other. As with a real land investment, Egeland will get a return through revenue sharing with the developer on any and all activity on his moon; i.e. other players uses, recruiting other players and gaining revenue that they produce in the entire game universe. And as a glimpse into how they work with players, he will also work with MindArk on the development and design of Egeland’s moon.

    Once his investment, named Monria, is up and running, he will assume the role of operator and the surface will have caves with unique minerals, lunar command and habitats and can be expected to be open second or third quarter 2013.
