Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII pre-orderers net Cloud’s costume and Buster Sword

Lightning-Returns-Final-Fantasy-XII-cloud-costume

There has always been a number of people who would say that Lightning is the new Cloud in Square Enix‘s eyes and it seems that the company has finally decided they might as well take advantage of this. Today the company announced that anyone who pre-orders Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII in North America will be able to get a Cloud Strife costume which includes a Buster Sword.

Square Enix has also said that equipping the Cloud costume will give players not only some of Cloud’s abilities but also his battle winning pose and fanfare music. Currently Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is set to be released on February 11, 2014 so it’ll be quite some time before at least Cloud’s outfit and weapon appear in an HD game.

Puzzle Tangram Style Headed to the 3DS eShop

tangram-style-01

Not to be confused with the terrible pop culture song from 2012, Tangram Style is the first 3DS title from mobile developer Moving Player, and a sharp little puzzler that is set to bring some spunk to the genre on the platform.

This little romp features 600 puzzles and 4 games modes for players to get a hold of, and will available on the eShop at a later date. In my opinion, this title seems to bring some color and life to the shape puzzles included, with bonus objectives that are sure to add some re-playability. Check out the first set of screenshots and trailer down below, and once Tangram Style gets some more info, we will be sure to share.

Divines of the East introduces Servant System

 

Divines-of-the-East-Screenshot-1.0NGames has announced that there will be a Servant System for Divines of the East (DotE), the new free-to-play, side-scrolling RPG 2D browser game for PC, currently in open beta on Game321.com.

DotE allows players to choose and customise one type of Servant to their own gameplay style from the six options; Beast, Spirit Beast, Half-demon, Ghost, Rare Beast and Mythical Beast, as shown in the gallery below. The Servants are best served to conquer the Orient when players:

  • Find Unseals to unlock new abilities to transform and possess Spirits to strengthen their core attributes
  • Practice with them, either via free practice, quintupling practice or instant clear to gain EXP
  • Carefully explore the ancient world to collect enough rare materials to redeem stronger SSS Servants
  • Obtain SSS Servant materials using the Sennong Golden Egg

If adventurers decide their team isn’t quite working, a Servant’s Talent and type can be reset by using the Transform function on a Spirit, as well as players can unlock sealed Servant types by purchasing the necessary items to use them.

    Black Ops II Gets Vengeance DLC

    black-ops-2-vengeance

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II is hitting hard today with its newest map pack, entitled “Vengeance.” Vengeance is the third DLC pack for the wildly popular first person shooter from Activision and Treyarch.

    The newest map pack comes with four new multiplayer maps, one of which is a re-imagined fan favorite. Players who pick this pack up will also receive the newest zombie experience entitled “Buried.”

    The four new maps include:

    • “Cove,” – The stage is set for all-out conflict on this small, forgotten island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with players battling it out amongst the wreckage of a jet that crash-landed during a smuggling operation gone wrong. 
    • “Detour,” – The action plays out atop a destroyed suspension bridge, high above an East Coast waterway, packed with scattered vehicles, exposed iron and collapsed pavement enables head-to-head action playing out on multiple levels. 
    • “Rush,” – Prepare for fast, close-quarters engagements in this paintball course turned full-combat arena, giving players new opportunities and challenges to use the cover to their advantage. 
    • “Uplink,” – In this re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favourite multiplayer map “Summit” from the original Call of Duty®: Black Ops, players clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility.

    Treyarch is expanding the canon of Zombie fiction once again with “Buried.” You’ll meet up with old characters as well as new ones in an Old West mining town. It also includes a weapon so powerful it will appear in all other Zombie maps: the Ray Gun Mark II.

    The Vengeance map pack is available now for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points. Other platforms will see the release of the DLC in coming weeks and months.

    Today Namco Bandai announced that they have taken a step forward in strengthening their hold on the PAL region. They have done so by fully integrating their Namco Bandai Games European distribution network with the Namco Bandai Partners label.

    What does this mean for you? Well with this combination the company will be able to put more strategy into their efforts to release games like Project x Zone and Tales of Xillia in these PAL territories. Namco Bandai Games Europe’s president Shusuke Takahara had this to say about the change:

    “The group of companies’ new names will encompass the full dimension from both Publishing and Distribution to develop European business further and reinforce the organization in one unified team behind our logo. This name unification is the final outcome of the subsidiaries integration, concluding the full process”
