The game will be available both digitally and physically for $39.99 but those who feel like dropping a little extra scratch on the title will be able to pick up the Mercenary Edition for $49.99 which includes a 96 page art book/guide, a soundtrack CD with 32 songs, 10 monster cards and some special packaging.

To commemorate this announcement, XSEED released a number of new English screenshots for the game which can be seen below.

It looks like fans of Borderlands 2 won’t have to wait very long for the first piece of storyline DLC for the game, as GearBox Software has just revealed that the first DLC for the game will be called Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty and will be released in less than a week.

To be a bit more exact, the DLC will be released on October 16th and will cost $9.99/800 MSP depending on your console of choice. Of course if you happen to own the Borderlands 2 Season Pass then this pack will be free of cost for you. As for the DLC itself, Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty will feature a new area where players will venture into the slums of Oasis and encounter a new currency called “seraph crystals.” A couple images of the DLC including a new sand skiff vehicle can be seen below.

Resident Evil 6’s on-disc DLC is “free content”

As many of you may know, Capcom has been well known for some rather shady on-disc DLC tactics over the past year and when gamers discovered that Resident Evil 6 has DLC already on the disc that is not available in the vanilla game, obviously people began fuming at the company for pulling the same tactic once again.

Well, apparently everyone can relax a little bit, as Capcom has announced that this on disc DLC such as the “No Hope” difficulty and Ada Wong’s co-op capabilities, was going to be released as a free title update soon and unlocked. It is interesting to see the company state this after the fact however, rather than make an announcement before it was discovered and drug through the dirt. Perhaps said DLC was going to cost something at one point, but thanks to immediate backlash it was quickly made free to stem the tide.

Naughty Bear is a title that brings out the true evilness inside a person while personalizing and somehow justifying the death blow. Your ultimate goal is to eliminate the 36 targets in accordance to their “wrong-doings” to Naughty – even though he probably deserved it.

But that’s not all. Along with the launch of Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise, some interesting content is available for you to purchase to increase the cotton bath of destruction. Priced at 240 MSP is a neat little costume revolving around chainsaws and massacres. Yes, you get to relive some slicing and dicing from the 70’s in this DLC rendition appropriately named Paradise Island Chainsaw Massacre for Xbox Live. Don’t fret Playstation lovers, Teddy Krubear will be making an appearance on the Playstation Network for a mere $2.99. Additionally, the Greek god of thunder plays a role in another part of DLC as Mjolnpaw is a mighty hammer that only Naughty can wield for 80 MSP ($0.99).

You can purchase the game now through Xbox Live for 1200 MSP or Playstation Network for $14.99. Don’t forget to check out the DLC in action below, and go massacre some teddy bears.

Indie game Grapple Knight (a game we’ve written about in the past) has been released on Steam Greenlight to a warm welcome, as well as having its first major update since its release.

The game went up on Steam Greenlight a few days ago, and has had quite a bit of attention since then with most of it being support or helpful comments. If it does get enough ratings up then that means it’ll be able to be launched on Steam, so if Grapple Knight looks like something that you’re interested in then you should definitely take the time to check out their Steam Greenlight page and vote them up!

And with the game receiving its first major update, and people at the EB Expo enjoying having a play of it in the Homegrown Gaming section, it certainly seems worth it.

Check out the debut trailer of Grapple Knight below!

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Launch Party Shenanigans

Last night 2k Games threw a launch event for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and it was totally out of this world. Kicking off in the city we were driven by shuttle to an ‘undisclosed location’, that happened to be in the middle of a bunch of warehouses. Usually this sort of area would be prime territory for a high level of crime, which I guess is the point, but once we got into the warehouse the awesomeness took over. Previews of the game were playable amongst collages of UFO sightings, fake body parts, and the like.

As for the game itself, it has a good story line and atmosphere, but might suffer a lack of interest from your average gamer due to the patience and tactics required. However, if you’re a fan of turn-based, strategy games that need more from you than just pointing and shooting. The graphics leave something to be desired, but that was on a large TV screen on an Xbox 360, and if you’re after a PC copy it will probably look better.

With some competition winners in attendance as well, 2k Games really threw a good party with some awesome themed cocktails and food.

Make sure to check out the gallery below with some of the awesome pics we snapped of the event.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is available in Australia and New Zealand this Friday, October 12th on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Team Ninja thanks fans with their last Dead or Alive 5 Fighter Chronicle video

For some companies, once the game has hit store shelves, the developers either take it easy, or begin working on post launch DLC and bug fixes. While Team Ninja is already hard at work releasing free costume DLC, such as the one shown above, and possibly working on various patches, they also took the time to release their final Fighter Chronicles video to thank their fans for picking up Dead or Alive 5 and supporting the series.

The video itself can be seen below and is actually quite humbling considering how most developers are usually trying to tout various scores and figures around rather than honestly thanking their fans.

If you happen to live in the land down under, (American speak for Australia) then you will be happy to hear that Konami’s Silent Hill: Book of Memories finally has a release date down in your country. PlayStation Vita owners will be able to pick up this unique take on the series on November 8th.

As for the game itself, Silent Hill: Book of Memories introduces the first ever multiplayer aspects to a Silent Hill game, as well as customizable characters where the game is more action-exploration oriented than survival horror. The story revolves around a book that the player receives that can change the past.
