Jetstream Sam DLC Out Now – Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

MGR-sam-dlc- (4)

For those of you eager to “Cut What You Will” from an entirely new perspective, well you’re in luck as of today because the latest story DLC in the form of “Jetstream” is out now! Taking on the role of Raiden’s charismatic rival, Samuel Rodrigues, players will have access to hours of brand new content.

Previously we brought you some awesome screenshots of the content but now we can also inform you as to just what you’ll be getting up to as the notorious cyborg samurai. Once a simple Lone Swordsman who terrorized the underworld of Latin America, Sam the “cool Brazilian wind” has made his to Denver Colorado to test his skills against the World Marshall and by the looks of the trailer, recruit the bosses you fight in the core game. Armed with his own unique abilities and a completely different move-set to Raiden, players will be able to explore the highly requested villain’s origins before he ultimately arrived in Africa.

A second downloadable content pack has also been revealed, titled Blade Wolf, which will be arriving this May. On this side of things, gamers will be put in the boots (or paws rather) of the enigmatic Blade Wolf in an exploration of the robo-canine’s own backstory. Is it just me or does playing as a cybernetic wolf with a chainsaw for a tail just sound completely amazing?

The Jetstream DLC is out now for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and is priced at a reasonable $9.99. No word on how much May’s story content, Blade Wolf, will cost but a similar price point should be expected.

Pumped to finally play as Sam? Check out screenshots of the Samurai in action down below as well as an action-packed launch trailer just for your entertainment.

Triple-H-Wrestlemania-29-Entrance

13-time World Champion and Chief Operating Officer of WWE Triple H explained today via his Twitter what that white stuff was that was stuck to him during his entrance at WrestleMania 29 this past weekend.

It seems that HHH’s entrance prop malfunctioned while he was walking through it and he suffered second degree burns from dry ice that did not vaporize properly. Luckily ‘the Game’ always carries a bottle of water that he uses for his ring entrance and with that he was able to wash off a portion of the dry ice stuck to his body otherwise the burns could have been much worse!

Check out the official Tweet from HHH below and the results of the dry ice burn in the image shared.

As mentioned earlier today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have just announced Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, the next instalments of the blockbuster Batman: Arkham video game franchise for a variety of consoles.

Batman: Arkham Origins will be the first prequel for the series and is in development for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and the Wii U. Unlike previous Batman Arkham games, this one is not being developed by Rocksteady but Warner Bros. Games Montreal instead. The young team will be using many of the previous assets developed by Rocksteady to retain the aesthetic the series has established.

Warner Bros had this to say about the upcoming title:

Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.

Handheld gamers will also be getting their first taste of the Arkham series with Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. Unlike the console versions, the PS Vita and 3DS title will be set directly after the events of Origins and is in development at Armature Studio, which was formed by several team members who worked on the much loved Metroid Prime series. Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is described as a “2.5D Metroid-style exploration action game”.

The best part is you won’t have to wait forever for the games to drop as both are set for worldwide release on October 25 of this year. Are you excited for these new entries in the great Arkham franchise ? Let us know in the comments.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Gameplay Leaked

Far-Cry-3-Blood-Dragon-Screen-06

UPDATE: Russian hackers reportedly discovered an exploit that tricks the uPlay service into believing that you already have the game you’re trying to download. This is how they were able to download it, and what resultantly enabled such footage to be leaked.

It seems one Youtuber under the name of eaglesblades has gotten his hands on an early copy of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Nobody knows how or why but the user has put up a Let’s Play of the first 15 minutes of the game, making use of some err… questionable commentating skills. It’s not the commentary that will interest you however, it’s the absolutely crazy gameplay of Blood Dragon, which wholly and faithfully continues Far Cry 3’s trend of total insanity.

Ubisoft has yet to make any sort of comment on the Blood Dragon leak but you can be sure that unless this is all a hugely elaborate hoax, they’ll most likely be more than a little interested in the early footage going live. Featuring what has to be one of the funniest tutorials I’ve seen and some retro 80’s style cut-scenes, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon at it’s core makes extensive use of the Far Cry 3 game engine.

Look out for the official release on May 1st but for those of you who who’d like a sneak peak, watch the videos down below (be warned of the incredibly bad commentary and extensive use of profanity as well). For more info on Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, head on over to the official reveal article here and look out for this retro downloadable shooter on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Part 1 and 2 were originally taken down, but thanks to the always online internet community both have become available again via alternate YouTube Channels. Again, look out for some gnarly language.

Attention all Bounty Hunters, Troopers, Smugglers, Agents, Jedi and Sith! The first expansion pack for Star Wars The Old Republic has officially gone live! While the public access date for Rise of the Hutt Cartel is still slated for April 14th, any player who placed a pre-order down on the digital expansion prior to January 7 this year will receive the early access to the content starting today, giving all pre-order players five days in which to get ahead of the crowd. With this new expansion comes a whole new story for both Republic and Imperial players to experience, centred around the Hutts vying to become a third military superpower in the galaxy. The expansion has also brought the level cap up to 55, meaning a whole new range of powers and abilities are now accessible for high level characters.

In addition to the core content, early access players will also be happy to note a few special bonuses, which they should find in their character mailboxes, namely: A new Makrin Seedling pet; the Dr. Oggurobb Hutt Holostatue; and lastly an exclusive character title “Scourge of the Hutts.” Game update 2.0 will officially update all players with new content, but to get the most out of it, players are encouraged to secure a digital version of the expansion pack to get the full experience.

For those who missed out on the early access, don’t fret all too much. Rise of the Hutt Cartel will be made publicly available on April 14th. Check out the trailer as well below!

Warner Bros. Games Montreal has taken the mantle of the next Batman game from Rocksteady Studios. The cover for the upcoming May issue for GameInformer has revealed that game to be Batman: Arkham Origins.

The game will likely maintain the same look and feel of past Batman games, given that Warner Bros. Games Montreal has access to the same modified Unreal Engine that Rocksteady used when developing the first two titles in the series. Arkham Origins is set to take place years before the prior games when an “unrefined” Batman is being hunted by 8 world-class assassins on Christmas Eve, of all days. Fans of the series will recognize the assassin Deathstroke on the back cover (above), who will be making his debut in an Arkham game.

Arkham Origins will be in your hands sooner than you might expect. The game is coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC on October 25, 2013. Check out the trailer below, which shows the team at WB Games Montreal explaining their vision and some of the early concept art.

For the full write-up, check out GameInformer’s page here. Stay tuned here for more news on Arkham Origins coming soon.
