Dead Space 3’s Awakened DLC trailer released

March 8, 2013

Dead Space 3 was great in many ways, but thanks to the various hallucinations made exclusive to people playing as Isaac Clarke’s co-op partner Carver, things never felt quite as scary. However if this trailer released today for Dead Space 3’s Awakened DLC is anything to go by, then the horror will be returning in this soon to be released DLC.

You can check out the trailer below and keep an eye out for the DLC which is currently set to be released on the PC, Xbox Live and PSN on March 12th worldwide, except for the European PSN which sees the addition of the game on March 13th.

Download The Final Hours of Tomb Raider App

We loved Tomb Raider, but we also loved looking behind-the-scenes as the Final Hours video series documented Crystal Dynamics’ final year of development on the reboot. Now, we get to delve even deeper with the Final Hours of Tomb Raider app.

The app, which was released today for the iOS, Kindle Fire and Steam, is the result of a close collaboration between the studio and Geoff Keighley. Taking several months to put together after capturing a year’s worth of interview material, images and never-before-seen video, the app gives us an unprecedented perspective on the development of what was one of the most highly anticipated, and now one of the highest rated titles of the year so far.

Geoff Keighley stated, “The Final Hours of Tomb Raider is a story about the reinvention of both a brand and a studio. This franchise reboot was itself rebooted multiple times, and now, for the first time, the team at Crystal Dynamics shares with fans the early prototypes and concepts that didn’t make it into the finished game.”

Global Brand Director of Crystal Dynamics Karl Stewart said, “Geoff has managed to capture the essence of a story that no one outside of the studio has ever been exposed to. In a very immersive and informative way, he has managed to bring to life the personal side of game development, something which is usually lost in the noise when bringing a game to fruition.”

Download the app now for only $2.99 from iTunes, Steam, or Amazon for your Kindle Fire.

It looks like Gearbox Software is trying to make Aliens: Colonial Marines less of a terrible title because today the company has released a new patch for the game on the Xbox 360. This update is supposed to cover a number of issues and bugs found throughout the campaign as well as the versus mode.

The biggest fixes include preventing players from going outside the map and allowing co-op partners to properly revive their allies. As far as a patch for the PS3 and PC versions of the game, the company has said a patch is on the way, but they have yet to provide a release date for the patch.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is releasing in Australia on March 28th and today we have quite a bit of content for you all, including one featurette, one film clip and a new online game.

Firstly, at the bottom of this article is an awesome behind-the-scenes video of Byung-Hun Lee as Storm Shadow. The South Korean superstar is back and faces off against his best friend, turned mortal enemy, Snake Eyes (Ray Park). The clip includes interview snippets with the two actors, as well as director Jon M. Chu as they discuss Storm Shadow’s state of mind, while giving us a glimpse into the intense shooting of the fight-sequences between the rivals.

Secondly, we have “Re-Enlisting”; a short clip showcasing one of Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) and Roadblock’s (Dwayne Johnson) key interactions in the film that is the jumping off point for all the destruction the two are bound to cause throughout. You can view the video directly below.

Re-Enlisting

Finally is the new Facebook game, ‘El Camino Run’. The game, which can be played here, is a simple, top-down car-shooter where you must avoid obstacles, pick up power-ups and destroy anyone who is attempting to stop you. I recommend using a mouse for this one. It is based on a scene from the film in which Colton shoots oncoming opposition from the truck-bed of the car.

Also, go here to try out ‘Cobra Strike’, an earlier online game we recently shared. And don’t forget to visit and ‘like’ the official AU G.I. Joe Facebook page for all future updates leading to the film’s release on March 28th nationwide.

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.

Nekogami Yaoyorozu to be localized by NIS America as The Everyday Tales of a Cat God

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.
