The god-tier XCOM: Enemy Unknown tactical strategy game from 2k and Firaxis has recently had some additional content revealed for it. The first of this content is the XCOM Elite Soldier Pack that was previously released as an addition to early adopters of the game.

The second of these packs is the Slingshot Content Pack, which includes new missions to go on top of the XCOM campaign. The following is a blurb about the new content –

The Slingshot Content Pack, the first of two add-on content packs for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, will be available soon. In this new set of linked Council missions, gamers will meet an enigmatic Triad operative, divert an alien ship’s course, and do battle with the aliens in the skies over China. The Slingshot Content Pack includes three new maps tied to the Council missions, a new playable squad character with a unique story and voice and new character customisation options. The release date and pricing of the Slingshot Content Pack will be announced soon.

Gamers can look forward to the release of these packs in the future.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on Orgarhythm from XSEED Games then you probably already know this, but everyone else should be happy to hear that Orgarhythm is now available for download in North America through the Vita’s PlayStation Store. The game itself will cost $29.99 and features a unique rhythm and RTS combination of gameplay.

For those who don’t know, players will be given the task of protecting a god from attack by opposing enemies by using a series of taps on the touch screen to the rhythm of the music playing at the time. To commemorate the game’s launch on the PSN, XSEED has released a number of new screenshots and a How-To video to introduce prospective players to some of the game’s unique rhythm mechanics.

You better double check your car next time you start it up, because Zero is now looking for more participants to take part in the Nonary Game.

Demon Gaze announced as a dungeon RPG for the Vita

This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine, as reported by Tale Tale has revealed that a brand new RPG is being developed for the PlayStation Vita by the same company known for making Students of the Round (pictured above), which unfortunately never made it overseas, Experience Inc.

The game itself is called Demon Gaze and it is being described as a dungeon RPG similar to past games made by Experience in the past. Currently the game is meant to be released in Japan sometime in January, and given the very light RPG market of the Vita, many Vita owners would probably appreciate a Western release of the game.

Cheapest Game Prices In Australia?

We’re not exactly lacking choice when it comes to places to buy games. Between physical or online stores, shopping around is increasingly time-consuming, but increasingly rewarding.

This week another virtual store has opened its virtual doors on this virtual games shopping strip: the Sydney-based Skill Point Games.

Adrian Vergara, games journalist and founder of the service, says Skill Point’s focus is to be Australia’s cheapest games store. “We keep our margins low, because we’re not all about our bottom line,” he says.

Older games are constantly on sale at retail giants like JB Hifi and EB Games, so the differences may be negligible there. It will probably be new releases where the price differences matter most. Currently, both JB and EB list the Wii U console deluxe pack at $428, and most launch games at $99. This might come down a bit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they stay that high through Christmas.

Meanwhile, Skill Point Games are selling Wii U consoles for $10 less than RRP, and launch games for $20 less. It’s unknown whether shipping will blow out the difference, but for now, those figures look good.

Vergara also takes pride in the store’s dedication to providing quality customer service and quick delivery, and unlike other so-called “local” services (including the apparently-deliberately-misleading OzGameShop), the business will remain 100% Australian run.

Hunt down a bargain on the Skill Point Games site here, or follow them on Twitter or Facebook.
