As many of you know, Dead Space 3 is set to be released sometime in February 13 and today EA revealed what type of bonuses will be included in the “Limited Edition” version of the game. In the short trailer below you will see both bonus sets in action as Isaac takes down various necromorphs.
The two bundles shown off in the video are “Witness the Truth” and “First Contact.” The Witness the Truth bundle includes a Witness suit that makes it easier to explore the frozen planet’s environment and the Evangelizer weapon which pulls double duty as a shotgun and also an assault rifle.
The First Contact pack includes a special First Contact Suit that allows for long-term space exposure, likely meaning a bigger oxygen tank, as well as a Negotiator weapon that is called a “Tesla-powered instrument.”
Recently, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two was announced as a Wii U launch title. Now if you remember, the first game was beautiful in concept, but a bit flawed in design. This time around a lot more attention has been placed in the gameplay section, and things have come together quite swimmingly.
In a new trailer released today by Disney, Warren Spector gives players a run down of the game itself, detailing how the paint thinner will work to build the environment around animation’s number one superstar. Yes, it looks charming, and you can check out the trailer below for a better look.
Whether in film, TV, novels, comic books or video games; zombies have engrained themselves within our popular culture. We take a look at how the modern day zombie got its start as well as what they’ve become as a whole.

Sometimes it’s hard to describe things. You have a clear idea of what it is in your head and the moment you try and put words to it everything fumbles out of your mouth and it sounds like nonsense. This is not what our show is about. What it is about… is, well it’s about a lot of things. It’s about life, it’s about love, it’s about you.
The Uncanny Valley is a documentary styled show that tells stories about people who love things not because they’re cool; but for the pure sake of loving them. It’s about that time you camped out in the rain for first screening tickets to Star Wars; but it’s not about Star Wars. It’s about all those hours spent putting together and crafting the perfect costume for that cosplay convention; but it’s not about anime. It’s even about how you took first place in that Starcraft competition; but it’s not about video games.
This is a show about the people who never let that childlike love of things escape. Enjoy video below :
Be sure to also check out the 1st and 3rd Episode of The Uncanny Valley below.
Namco Bandai in Europe has prepared another set of DLC for One Piece: Pirate Warriors, bringing the total batch number to 4. This current piece of DLC will add a new costume and scenario for Luffy’s brother Ace who also is a member of the Whitebeard pirates.
The DLC has been shown off below and you can see that it will include a Strong World movie costume for Ace as well as “The Great Navy Caper” scenario to play through. Those interested in picking up the DLC will have to pay €2.99 to download it. Interestingly enough, no DLC has been announced or dated for North America at this time.

Tecmo Koei has made a number of announcement’s for European release today, but before we mention the already expected releases, we have some rather important news. One of the game’s set for release happens to be Atelier Ayesha which will be released in Q1 2013 for the PlayStation 3. This is the first time that any company has mentioned bringing the title over to the West since it’s release in Japan.
Atelier Ayesha will go by the name of Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Twilight Land in Europe. As for the other games announced for Euroeapn release, we have Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus arriving in Q1 2013, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 on February 2013, and Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper on November 30th.
Currently there has been no word of Atelier Ayesha being released in North America in any shape or form, though it is worth noting that Tecmo Koei usually releases Atelier titles in European countries while NIS America handles North American releases for the game. Does this mean we may hear something from NIS America in the coming days?
The game that has garnered over 6 million players online, and over 1 million on the iOS alone, gets a title change. PyramidVille Adventure will now be known as PyramidValley Adventure!

In honour of the name change, PyramidValley Adventure is expanding! Now, those players who surpass level 18 will be afforded the opportunity to branch out past the Nile Valley and build a thriving city on the Mediterranean Coastline! You will find the latest screen-shots and trailer below!
The Wii U version of Scribblenauts Unlimited is going to feature some rather unique exclusives in the form of characters and items from both the Super Mario series and The Legend of Zelda series. As you can see in the image shown above, these characters will follow the Scribblenauts style.
5th Cell and Warner Bros. have said that Maxwell will be able to summon the Nintendo characters as well as items from their world and “discovered Nintendo characters and objects will behave in the fun and fantastical ways they do in their respective game worlds.” This is going to make for some rather interesting interactions considered how much freedom players have in a game like Scribblenauts.
As the headline clearly states, Razer will be hosting a competition to win a one-of-a-kind in the entire world Star Wars themed Razer Blade gaming laptop valued at $15k. They are also giving away Star Wars packs including, mouses, keyboards, headphones and more to second tier winners.
On the Sweepstakes Razer had this to say:

So make sure you enter at this link. I know I have. I want this laptop. May The Force be with you.
Rockstar Games had a bit of trouble getting Max Payne 3’s “Hostage Negotiation” DLC pack out to fans. Such trouble in fact that it was meant to be released back in September, but due to some unknown issues the company had to delay the launch of the DLC until an unannounced time.
Well today Rockstar revealed over Twitter that they will be releasing Max Payne 3’s “Hostage Negotiation” DLC on October 30th. The price will remain unchanged at $10 or 800 MSP depending on your platform. Hostage Negotiation adds in four new multiplayer maps, two new rifles, a new Explosive Burst booby trap, more cosmetic options and a new avatar faction.
