March 8, 2013

Might & Magic is a prestigious franchise with a lot going for it as it stands, but with the upcoming persistent browser game on the horizon, it seems the franchise is gearing up for a lot of change. Change is good in this case, as today Ubisoft unveiled the first ever gameplay trailer for Might & Magic Heroes Online- and lets just say fans of the IP can start getting hyped for the eventual release.

The trailer itself shows off a beauty of a browser-based game, rich of that lovely atmosphere – filling the world that was made famous years ago. Several of the features are shown off as the clip rolls along as well, showing a deep experience full of exploration, leveling, and multiplayer/co-op combat. Check out the trailer below, and for more information, check out the official website here as closed beta registration has begun.

If you like sleek looking platformers and spiders, you will be happy to know that Kalypso are gearing up to combine the two elements into one game. Alien Spidey is set to release on March 20th for the Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, and the Mac for $9.99, and offers a nice, cozy single player experience featuring a spider hopping about, and is booming with color and challenge.

“Alien Spidy is a new take on the classic sider-scroller, but with all sorts of modern twists,” said Jonathan Hales, managing director, Kalypso Media. “The game is filled with colorful characters, beautiful animations, and just the right balance of pick-up-and-play accessibility and ramps up the challenge in later levels, making it perfect for all types of gamers.”

Yeah, we have seen a lot of platformers that look a bit like Alien Spidy in the past, but this one appears to offer much more – with 69 levels, three settings (Forest, Pond, Caves), and more than 350 collectibles and achievements. Check out the new screenshots and remember that this title will web out in just under two weeks time.

Today NIS America announced a pleasing anime acquisition in the form of The Everyday Tales of a Cat God, or as it was known in Japan, Nekogami Yaoyorozu. Nekogami Yaoyorozu originally aired back in 2011 and was streamed via Crunchyroll at the time.

The company is planning on releasing the full 12 episode season including the OVA on June 4th on Blu-ray only but the company is providing their standard Premium Edition treatment for the release. This will contain seven mini-episodes as bonuses, a thirty two page hardcover art book that will contain character information, illustrations and a story guide.

When the series aired back in 2011 I found it to be a simple but humorous gag anime that was great for twenty minutes of non-complicated entertainment. For those who don’t know, the basic setting of the anime follows a cat goddess named Mayu who lives with a girl named Yuzu Komiya that runs an antique shop and the odd occurrences that happen when you live with a cat goddess.

Images Released for Upcoming ‘Dogs of War Online’ Game

Quickly doing the rounds in preparation for this article of my table top gamer friends brought tears of joy at the news of an imminent free-to-play ‘Dogs of War’ video game. The ‘Confrontation’ universe was a fan favourite due to their amazing models and its intuitive yet deep game play mechanic. This game is far more true to the table top form than the previous video game iteration from this universe, ‘Confrontation;’ minus pulling out rulers at the end of every turn that is.

This universe knows no concept such as honour. Each class is only interested in self aggrandisement, pleasures of the flesh and material wealth. You’re going to have to make sure that your units are occupied by missions between battles so they don’t run off to pillage and plunder between battles. Individual units themselves may start fights with each other, steal or even desert your squad if you don’t employ some solid leadership skills.

You will have to hand pick all of your units, unlocking new dudes as well as items as you progress through your battles (you’ll most likely be able to buy your way through this step, as it is a free-to-play game after all). Battles take place in a turn based fashion on a system of hexagonal boxes.

Each of the three classes have their own unique narratives. The Ram are a unrelenting hoard of the undead, the Lion who appear to be noble knights are renowned for their greed and the Wolfen are predators who’ll hunt anything for game.

Get ready for battle in Q2 of this year, it’s going to be brutal.

As for when this demo will be released, the company only stated that it would be “near” the game’s March 19th launch in North America and March 22nd launch in Europe. But to tide fans over the company has released new details, screenshots and a trailer for the demo.

The demo will contain the game’s Touch Fight mode and allow players to access Kasumi, Hayabusa, Eliot and Tina as fighters and eight stages to battle on. Costumes can be unlocked in the demo and any progress you make in the demo can be transferred to the full game.

Yeah, that tagline may be a bit cheesey, but the load of games hitting the eShop are anything but. Today, the quite savory Kersploosh! has fell into the eShop, allowing players to take control of an object as it falls down a well. Yes, it’s a simplistic idea, but at just $2.99, I’d say its well worth it.

Next comes the little racer by the name of ATV Wild Ride 3D, which is finally making an appearance on the digital service for just $7.99. Non-Ambassadors can get their dirty hands on Wrecking Crew as well today – which of course is priced at the usual NES listing of $4.99. $14.99 on the other hand will get you Nano Assault EX, bringing with it a ton of new features to the retail experience such as circle pad support, leaderboards, and an all-new survivor mode.

The King of Fighters ’98 has also popped up on the WiiWare service, bringing with it the classic at a 900 point price-tag. As far as sales go, Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword, which released last year – is on sale for just $4.99 while the retail version of Resident Evil Revelations has been put up for download at MSRP. Yep, quite a lot to chew on, but there is even for for those of you with low income at the moment. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity has graced the eShop in demo form, so go get to downloading that – as the real deal hits shelves on March 24th.

The Angry Birds have invaded every aspect of gaming and even the console version is being expanded. Angry Birds Trilogy has been on our consoles for a while so it only makes sense that it’d eventually have DLC like many other games on the platform. Angry Birds fans can now access the ‘Fowl Tempered Pack’ via download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network.

135 new levels have been added to popular episodes Back to School, Bad Piggies and Haunted Hogs. That’s not all, a new bird named Stella, the Pink Bird, has been added to the game and it has the ability to trap objects in a bubble and then hammer them into the ground.

The Angry Birds trilogy combines Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio into a single title for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, both of which have motion control capabilities.

The Fowl Tempered Pack for 360 can be found here for 400 Microsoft Points while the PS3 version can be found here and costs $4.99.
