Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3’s Goku Naruto shown off further in latest screens

naruto-goku-feb- (1)

We’ve seen how the special pre-order Goku costume for Naruto has looked before and today Namco Bandai shared a number of new screenshots to show the costume off a little further. Actually, it almost seems like they’ve modified his Rasengan hand motion to look a bit like a Kamehameha.

Anyways, you can check out the images below and also take a glimpse at how players can use some cover to hide behind to try and recover their chakra or unleash their Awakening skills. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is currently set to be released on March 5th in North America while gamers in Europe will have to wait until the 8th. Ironically, Japan, where Naruto originated from, will be getting the title last on April 18th.

Week Two of Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Battle Arena Commences

Injustice-Gods-Among-Us-Battle-Arena-02

After a great opening round of battles in Batman vs. Bane, and Wonder Woman vs. Harley Quinn, the second week of fights are no joke either.

Firstly, if you’d like to know (and see) who was victorious in the above-mentioned match-ups, check out the battle videos here. Now, for this week, there are some truly dynamic match-ups at hand. The first pits the fastest man alive, The Flash, against the mystic Shazam. It is an intriguing bout as Shazam also possesses super-human speed, channelling the powers of the Roman God Mercury – although Flash still edges him out in that department.

The second battle is reminiscent of last week’s between Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman. This time it’s the mentally deranged The Joker against the intelligent and powerful (with his battle-suit) Lex Luthor. At first glance, you would say that this is a mismatch; Lex has a heavy arsenal of weaponry at his disposal and enhanced strength, but The Joker is wily, cunning and persistent. He’s not afraid to fight dirty too, and would have the advantage in the agility/speed conversation.

Check out the video below, which sets up the battle and features some man-on-the-street opinions as well as that of CW’s Green Arrow star Stephen Amell. Visit injustice.dccomics.com to cast your vote and also check out the celebrity opinions from Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Tara Strong and Wayne Brady.

Paper Mario, Kirby, and More are this Month’s Club Nintendo Rewards

paper-mario-box-01

I love to see when Club Nintendo changes things up with their digital rewards, and those who own a Wii, Wii U, or 3DS will be happy to know that the time has come for more free games with the relinquishment of those pesky coins you have been building up.

This month, Paper Mario – yes, the PAPER MARIO, is a Club Nintendo reward and priced at just 200 coins. Making a return is the wonderful Kirby’s Super Star for the Wii Virtual Console at 150 coins. Those who have a 3DS will also be happy to know that the addictive Birds and Beans can be swooped up for 100 golden nuggets, while Metal Torrent is priced at 150 to match the pink fluffball. A nice lot this month indeed. These rewards expire on March 10th, so get them while the getting is good.

Chrono Tales Update: Servers Added

chrono-tales-new-servers

Thanks to popular demand, the ever growing Chrono Tales is adding not one but two new servers.  Developers Ray Media are putting together the two servers after the popularity of their previously released Open Beta and Server 1, and the thousands of active players demanded the expansion.  Based on feedback from the players one of the daily events within the game, Survival Island is one of the most popular.  This event consists of 13 floating islands that players can move about freely attacking and battling other players.  When the event opens players will be given a short time to prepare for coming onslaught.  Once the game starts there is a twist to the combat, as time progresses the islands are blocked off one by one until there is only one; making it impossible for players to avoid combat.

These events are not without out incentive as top players are awarded prizes with especially great gifts saved for the top 3 players in each round.  There is only one way to win, and that is survive as you lose the instant you’re killed by another player and your only options are to stay and watch the battle royale, or leave the game.  For interested fans, or those wondering what the fuss is about, information and screens can be found at http://ct.gamedp.com/index.

Tomb-Raider-Inferno-01

Today Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics released a video pretty much anyone who wants to pick up the game should check out. You see, the video is a nearly 12 minute long walkthrough showing off some of what the game will offer as far as combat and platforming is concerned. Of course this means that there are a few spoilers here and there so you should only watch it if you don’t care about minor spoilers.

Anyways, check out the video below if you feel like and keep an eye out for Tomb Raider itself when it is released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on March 5th.
