Metro: Last Light Goes Gold, Set for Release

Less than one day from Metro: Last Light‘s release of the final Ranger Survival Guide video series, developer 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver have more news on the game. It seems that Metro has made it through the certification process, meaning that the game is prepped and ready to manufacture discs for the May 14th release date.

Now, it seems, would be the ideal time for true fans of the series to pre-order Metro: Last Light to get the Limited Edition that will come with the Ranger Mode DLC, that will provide the prefect environment for true Rangers from no HUD, to tough enemies, to less resources, but on the flip side the Russian AKSU rifle and 100 bonus rounds of ammo.

Featuring a plot written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author of the Metro book series that inspired the games, Metro: Last Light plops players in the middle of the now post-apocalyptic Moscow in the year 2034. Filling the mask of Artyom, players must try and survive all the Metro has to throw at them from mutants, to others factions.

Players will be able to suit up and explore through the tunnels of Metro: Last Light when it releases in North America May 14th, or May 17th everywhere else.  Also check out our hands on preview for Metro: Last Light here.

New Trailer for TMNT: Out of the Shadows Starring Michelangelo

michelangelo-tmnt-oots

Red Fly Studio and Activision released a brand new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows today. The nunchaku wielding Michelangelo, the youngest of the four brothers, is the star of the trailer. Normally the slacking party animal, Michelangelo shows off his extremely agile form of fighting, based around evasion and large combos in this new trailer. He has the lowest single target damage but compensates with a blazing fast attack speed.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will be released this summer for Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade. Find out more at the official Facebook page.

Sean Schemmel and Kyle Hebert to Return for DBZ Kai Buu Saga

DBZ-Buu-Saga-01
That’s right people, Sean Schemmel and Kyle Hebert, the English voice actors for Goku and Gohan respectively, have both announced that they have begun recording for the Buu Saga.

Dragonball Z Kai, known simply as Dragonball Kai in Japan, summarises the 1989-1996 anime series in order to more closely follow Akira Toriyama’s original Dragonball manga, featuring digital high-definition remastering, a re-recorded soundtrack and some re-animated scenes.

The English dub of Kai originally aired on Nicktoons, but has since been removed after entering its second run, though Funimation has released the series on Blu Ray and DVD. No word yet on when the new episodes will air, as Hebert himself added to the reveal that he was unable to announce any release or broadcast dates at this time.
