May 15, 2013

Turner CN Enterprises along with D3Publisher – a subsidiary of Namco Bandai Games – are happy to announced the development of Ben 10 Omniverse 2, coming to the Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this Spring, down under.

Based on the popular and enduring Cartoon Network program Ben 10, Omniverse 2 will allow players control of the title character as he battle the Incureans – a new intergalactic foe whose warship is infiltrated by Ben, armed with his trusty Omnitrix (a device that allows him to transform into various alien forms such as Gravattack, Four Arms, and many more). In addition to the action-brawler gameplay of its predecessor, Omniverse 2 will include chase and escape sequences, promising to make it the most kinetic title in the franchise yet. Senior Vice-President at Namco Bandai Games Europe, Olivier Comte, says;

The Ben 10 franchise has proven to be a phenomenal success for many years now, and we are of course delighted to extend our partnership with Turner on this brand new adventure. This autumn [EU/US], we will be very pleased to let players enjoy an exciting gameplay in Ben 10 Omniverse 2, the new video-game based on the latest Ben 10: Omniverse animated series.

The console versions are being developed by High Velocity Software, while the handheld versions are being developed by 1st Playable Productions, who did the previous entry.

It has been a long time coming and it took a change in publishers to happen, but Metro: Last Light has finally made it’s way to store shelves for purchase in North America. Deep Silver has released 4A Games’ sequel to Metro 2033 onto the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC though it is worth noting that the rest of the world has to wait until May 17th to pick the game up.

As for the title itself, Metro: Last Light is an exceptional experience that has seen a number of revisions over the original and while it’s storyline may be a bit iffy at times, the game’s gunplay, stealth mechanics and atmosphere make up for it in spades. To commemorate the game’s launch the company has provided the below launch trailer and if you are interested in seeing if Metro: Last Light is worth your time, you can find our full review of the game here.

Today fans of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance now have the chance to play as my personal favorite character in the game, Blade Wolf, or as he was known before meeting Raiden, LQ-84i. The DLC has been released on the PlayStation 3 where it costs $6.99 and the Xbox 360 where it will be 560 Microsoft Points.

In the DLC Konami is promising “multiple hours of gameplay” and given the fact that Blade Wolf is entirely different than Raiden, he features new attacks, new abilities and a whole new storyline that expands the character. To commemorate the DLC’s release, Konami has released the below English trailer which is a modified version of the Japanese trailer released last week, except this one is set to Blade Wolf’s in-game theme.

Rayman Legends is looking to have some pretty interesting world for players to explore and complete. In the last video released Ubisoft showed off the “Fiesta de los Muertos” world, so today they’ve got a brand new trailer showing off the underwater world of “20,000 Lums Under the Sea”.

Building on the gameplay of Rayman Origins, this water logged world in Rayman Legends features all new elements of stealth and infiltrating the enemy base as players swim through the levels. Watching the trailer, the focus includes utilizing light and shadow to bypass enemies patrolling the depths, which is pretty good as Rayman and friends are pretty useless in a fight when swimming around.

Players can watch the trailer for themselves embedded below to get a look at the water world and the new enemies Rayman and the gang will be facing in Rayman Legends when it releases in Australia and New Zealand August 29th (September 3rd in North America) for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U.

The Furbottom’s Features in BattleBlock Theater have still been going strong each week since the game’s release, which have brought some of the best community created playlists for other players to play for themselves. Players wondering about how the developers at The Behemoth decide on which playlists will get featured should be sure to tune in on their Twitch TV channel for their second live stream.

While their first live stream focused on playing with the community, this time players will get to watch or chat with the devs while they play through three different playlists to decide which will be making the cut for Furbottom’s Feature this week. This live stream will see 3 devs, pictured above, playing through the 3 playlists starting at 3 PDT until 5 PDT Thursday, May 16th. All in the hopes of showing off what makes for a good playlist and worthy of a Furbottom’s Feature.

Players interested in joining in on the conversation or simply watching how bad the level designers are at other people’s level can find The Behemoth’s Twitch TV HERE. Players wanting to know more about BattleBlock Theater can find our review HERE and an interview with the game’s lead artist HERE.

Tiger & Bunny is a series that is exceptional in a number of ways. So much in fact that not only has Viz brought the anime overseas, but they have even begun releasing the manga in North America. Now while the first half of the Tiger & Bunny anime was released a few months ago, the second half has finally been released today.

The anime is available on both Blu-ray and DVD and will cost $54.97 or $44.92 respectively. It appears that both versions will feature the same special features in the form of production sketches, storyboards and a few additional scenes. Those who wish to see what we thought of the first half of the series on DVD you can find our review of it here.

If you feel like dropping some more money or Microsoft Points on Borderlands 2 this late in the game then you will be happy to hear that Borderlands 2’s next playable character, Krieg the Psycho Bandit is now available for download on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC for $10 or 800 MSP. It is worth noting that Krieg is not part of the Season Pass so everyone will need to pay a little extra to play as this character.

As for how Krieg the Psycho plays, Gearbox has released the below three minute trailer showing off what the character can do, though it mostly involves the killer use of a buzzsaw.

Resident Evil: Revelations has some awesome unlockable costumes

Capcom is the recipient of a lot of flak when it comes to DLC and while most of it is well-deserved, it seems that they haven’t forgotten that some unlockable content should be available on the disc right from the start. Today it was announced that Capcom’s re-release of Resident Evil: Revelations will have some special costumes for Chris, Jill and Keith.

Chris will be given a sailor outfit, Jill will sport a pirate costume and Keith will be given a special ninja style outfit. It was not announced how these costumes will be unlocked but the company did mention that players should play through campaign mode, raid mode and more to find out how to unlock them.

Considering it is a Tuesday, we have some more information from the leaked scans of Dengeki PlayStation and this time around we have more information concerning Atelier Escha & Logy Alchemist of Twilight Sky. However while I did mention that characters were revealed, they are not playable characters.

As you can see to the scan on the right, we have Katla Larchica who is a twelve year old assistant at the general store, Solle Grumman who is the clerk at the general store and Mici Sun Mussenburg who is a fourteen year old member of the elite, but unfortunately no other details were provided for him.

Outside of this it was also revealed that while players travel on the field to collect items and battle against enemies, a gauge on the left of the screen will fill up. Once the gauge is full players can trigger a special battle that will reward a victory with rare items. Footage of this gauge can be seen in the forty six minute long gameplay video released yesterday.

You may have heard last week that Bethesda is working on bringing the next Wolfenstein game out sometime closer to the end of this year. However at the time the company did not provide any screenshots of what fans can expect.

That all changed today when the company released the debut screenshots of Wolfenstein: The New Order which can be checked out below alongside some enemy and firearm concept art. When the game is released, it will apparently “reignite” the Wolfenstein franchise. Currently the game is being developed for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, next-gen Xbox and PC.
