Developer Mental Moustache (how cool is that name?!) and publisher BulkyPix are releasing SpinCraft for the iOS on November 1st. SpinCraft is a 3D racing/platformer, in which you control Pyp; an innocent and adventurous pizza boy.

In SpinCraft, you will tasked with reaching your customer as quickly as possible – no one REALLY likes cold pizza. Judging by the screens, which may be viewed in the gallery below, being an intergalactic pizza delivery boy is a lot tougher than we could have imagined. There are traps and party-pooping enemies that will attempt to take down Pyp in his spincraft before reaching his destination. Spread across 20 levels, with more to be added down the road, the player must beat these obstacles, win boss battles, discover and utilise 5 different power-ups and upgrade their spincraft if they hope to succeed. Besides the customizable spincraft, Pyp himself can also be customised with over 20 unique skins to be unlocked. There are even hidden treasures to be found!

No one wants to be a pizza boy in real life but you may just want to give this a spin come November 1st! Give the launch trailer a whirl! – It can be found below the gallery.

Halo 4 Gameplay Launch Trailer Revealed

A Halo 4 trailer featuring actual gameplay has finally been revealed!

The new trailer, while not really show-casing anything from the player point-of-view, displays numerous in-game cutscenes and action from an observer’s perspective. We can see the use of the famous Warthog in action, Master Chief doing the badass things he does and the Forerunners again getting up to some tricks of their own.

It is strange that such a trailer took so long to come to the surface considering the game will release inside of a week (or two when it originally came out), but 343 Industries seem to have mainly focused on CGI, live-action trailers and stage demos up until this point. While showing off the game’s strengths in various controlled displays and designer walkthroughs is great, ultimately it is the final gameplay launch trailer that will make all the difference to potential buyers still on the fence.

Halo 4 releases on November 6th for North America and Europe and on the 8th for Japan. The game has been designed exclusively for the Xbox 360.

Maxim Australia Knows How to Throw a Halloween Party

Who says Australians don’t celebrate Halloween? This October 31st Maxim Australia is throwing a HOT 100 Halloween Party at the Marquee, with Sophie Monk (number seven on the Hot 100 list) will be making her only Sydney appearance.

With a guest list of over 500 (plenty of those being hot women from the Maxim list), and the music done by The Faders (famous for performing at some of the biggest parties, as well as festivals such as Splendour in the Grass and Future Music), this certainly sounds like it’ll shape up to be a crazy awesome event. Too bad it isn’t open to the public, but hey we can dream right?

Maxim Australia’s Hot 100 Australian Women edition is on stands now! Make sure to pick yourself up a copy, whether it be for jealousy or pleasure.

Sophie Monk had this to say about making number 7 on the Maxim Hot 100 list:

“I’d like to thank my mum for voting for me and apologies to my brother who will most likely buy every copy on the Gold Coast so his friends don’t see it. I love that Australia is celebrating Halloween but I’m not sure how I’m going to make a pumpkin outfit sexy. I will try!”

And I’m sure that, since she’s Sophie Monk, she will be successful in that endeavour.

Check out the Maxim site HERE for more information on the Hot 100 list, but if you want the full list you’re going to have to pick up a mag in the store!

Good news for Arrow fans, the show has been picked up for a full 22 episode season. After three episodes airing, Arrow has received the highest ratings for the network in years, so it’s no surprise that it got picked up.

Arrow follows Oliver Queen, a billionaire who was stranded on an island for years and returns to his home city with a plan to rid it of corruption. While he was on the island he picked up a few skills, namely the ability to shoot arrows really well and some great combat moves. Based on Green Arrow, Arrow is an action-packed, dark super hero drama that mirrors that of Nolan’s Batman series.

While at times it can go a little too far into angst, or heavy handed dialogue, it is an interesting watch for those who like their superheroes. CC Screen does a weekly recap of the episodes, so if you want to catch up, or just like recaps, then make sure to check them out!
