Ironsun Studios today announced that it will be crowd funding it’s title: Fathom. Fathom is a 2.5d action adventure game set in a neo-gothic undersea world with a nice steampunk vibe to it. The game will combine puzzle elements into its adventure along with some combat.

What’s looking great about this game is that its design is quite unique. If I had to compare this game to anything, it’d be the Archimedean/Aquanox series, but that’s only because of the underwater setting. The unique designs on the underwater world and the submarines themselves are quite great and I’m really enjoying the aesthetics of what we’ve seen so far.

Fathom is on Kickstarter until March 29. The developers hope to raise £120,000.00. Also be sure to check out the official site for more info.

assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-box-artIt looks like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag may be a real thing after all. While no one has mentioned anything about it in the world of video game journalism, Ubisoft did hold an event last night showing off some type of title and now the box art for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has been posted on Ubisoft’s forum. Click the image to the right to see a larger version of the potential box art.

If you are curious about the rumors of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag you can check out what we’ve said about it so far here. Of course, this could be a rather elaborate fake so until Ubisoft makes the official public announcement, take this rumor with a grain of salt.

One Piece and Bakuman manga box sets will break your shelf and the bank

There are many great manga out there and a few of these series have been running for over a decade. As such, trying to catch up or even begin a long-running manga is not only a daunting task, but it is an expensive one as well. Not only are original volumes sometimes out of print or difficult to find, there are so many to track down.

However Viz Media is looking to ease your burden because today the company announced that they will soon be releasing a One Piece Box Set and a Bakuman Box Set. The first one to be released will be the Bakuman Box Set on October 1st for $159.99. Before you worry about that price tag, you should note that this box set contains all twenty volumes of the manga, the Otter No.11 special comic and a color two-sided poster.

The One Piece set will be released on November 1st and cost $185.99 which is a decent amount more than the Bakuman series. The One Piece set will include the entirety of the East Blue and Baroque Works story arcs which comprise the first twenty three volumes of the manga. Besides that the set will also come with an un-detailed mini comic and a poster.

Sadly the company has not shown off how these box sets will look, but with over half a year until they are released, I’m sure they’ll let fans know what to expect by then.
