-

April 19, 2013

Publisher Deep Silver has released a trailer for the upcoming game Ride to Hell: Retribution. In the upcoming game, Jake Conway takes no prisoners as he scours the land for justice against the Devil’s Hand biker gang.

Ride to Hell: Retribution will take players into the world of biker gangs and violence, where the value of a man is based on the roar of his engines and the force behind his fist.

Deep Silver is looking to reward the loyalty to the gang. Players who pre-order will get the Cook’s Mad Recipe DLC for free, as well as three new levels and the sniper rifle. Cook’s Mad Recipe will otherwise be available for purchase for 800 Microsoft Points or for 9,99 Euro.

Developer Eutechnyx will release the game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in June 2013 in North America and Europe. For more information, you can check out their official site. Also be sure to watch the trailer below!

Star Trek: The Video Game Making of Video

It’s safe to say that there have been quite a few games based on Star Trek. However, the newest attempt at bringing the TV and movie sensation, Star Trek: The Video Game from developer Digital Extremes and publisher Namco Bandai, is trying to be the most authentic Star Trek video game experience yet. But what can they do to ensure that they can keep it authentic?

In the latest video for the game, Senior Vice President of Paramount Pictures Brian Miller explains that they focused on three main areas of authenticity; visuals, music, and voice acting. In terms of visual, ensuring that every aspect of the in-game assets reflected the big screen version from the bridge of the Enterprise to the halls ways throughout the ship.

While for the music, instead of just reusing music from the movies, they had the same orchestra write and perform new pieces for use in the game. Matching the quality, without suffering from having to shoehorn existing music to fit. While for voice acting, they did nothing less than record from the cast of the movie itself, even going to where the actors were instead of bringing them all in.

Players can check out the Making of Video for Star Trek: The Video Game embedded below, but for a better taste of what is in store before the game releases April 23rd for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC players can also read up on Capsule Computers Hands On Preview HERE.

Highschool of the Dead added to Neon Alley line-up this Friday

Viz Media is certainly adding some spice to their Anime streaming service Neon Alley. Before when I checked out the service back in November one of my issues was that most of Neon Alley’s line-up consisted of shonen series with only a few other genres represented. However now the service has since added numerous shows to the line-up adding some variety.

Now today Viz Media announced that they are partnering up with Sentai Filmworks to add a new fan-service packed anime to the line-up. This anime is none other than Highschool of the Dead and it will be debuting on the service this Friday at 10:00 p.m. EDT with a new episode premiering every subsequent Friday.
