Today 2k released an interactive trailer for the upcoming XCOM: Enemy Unknown video game releasing on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. This trailer plays like one of those old choose your own adventure novels of the past, only it’s with pre-recorded footage as opposed to a purely text based affair.

In this trailer, players are tasked with making some tactical decisions based on the scenario presented. This means that thinking a little tactically is required here. Of course, you could just chance it, or go over it multiple times to see what happens.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a Reality; First Trailer Revealed

Giana Sisters is a franchise a few of you may be familiar with, as the original title attracted both praise and controversy for being a lot like a certain mustached plumber. Well, after a successful Kickstarter, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is now a reality and ready to land on the PC October 23rd, with a later release planned for the XBLA and PSN come early 2013.

Here is a brief description of what we can expect to see in this lovely little platformer:

Fluffy clouds and rainbows – what a nightmare! Being trapped in a lollipop world infuriates Giana, driving her to smash everything in her path… but the walls between dreams are thin. A tenebrous boneyard lurks just beyond the veil, soothing Giana’s temper and lightening her step. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a phantasmagorical platformer with contrasting themes. Twist one dream into another at will to transform the world and Giana, putting an array of world-warping tricks at your fingertips.

Underscored with music jointly created by Chris Hülsbeck and Machinae Supremacy, the game features classic Giana and chiptune metal fluidly intermingling as you twist the dream world to your whim.

As you can tell by the screenshots below, this game is looking stunning thus far, and quite refreshing compared to the more recent indie platformers as of late. Check out the official trailer down south for yourselves and take notes, as this is how you rebirth a franchise.

Approve Reverb’s Steam Greenlight game or the kittens suffer

There is a saying that any press is good press, but this time around it looks like Reverb has kicked a literal hornets nest. In a press release to try and guilt votes out of Steam Greenlight users, the company has promised to pay $5,000 to a kitten’s humane society if their game, Edge of Space, is approved by October 15. This is all well and good on its own, but what happens if the game doesn’t get approved?

Well Reverb themselves put it as thus:

“If the game doesn’t get approval, that money will disappear, like a puff of smoke in the uncaring wind, leaving poor kitties to survive in the harsh elements, be placed in harm’s way and possibly be scheduled for euthanasia.”

After word of this came out and hit the internet, backlash has been quite extreme with a number of fans angrily taking to Twitter and the Greenlight page itself with their outrage.

This obviously was first meant as a nice promotion that would benefit both the company and some needy animals, but basically saying that “Approve our game or the kittens die” is probably the worst way to go about doing anything. In fact, the only way to save face at the moment would probably be the immediate donation of said amount the charity whether the game is approved or not.

With October officially beginning today, Sony has started a new promotion that is excellent for those who like to buy their games digitally. Sony has revealed that if you buy $100 on the PSN this month then you will receive a $20 credit to your account sometime in November.

This is obviously a great deal and it is not limited to PlayStation Plus members, though if you do buy a PlayStation Plus subscription that purchase also counts to your total. Plus with PSN Day 1 Digital offering full retail games digitally the same day as release, this will make for some decent discounts on game’s you may have wanted to purchase anyways.

New Nippon Ichi Software studio opens in Osaka

Good news for fans of NIS America and their parent company Nippon Ichi Software. Today the company announced that they are opening up a new studio in Osaka, Japan. The company already has one studio, their headquarters, in Gifu, so this is a big step for the company.

The company opened today and Siliconera is saying that the company is trying to secure a large number of workers including mildly experienced workers. Currently it is unknown what the studio will be working on, though it is worth noting that their announcement stated that the Osaka studio will be able to work on its own independent projects. With a new studio opened today, does that mean the next version of Hyperdimension Neptunia will feature a less flat version of Nisa? Preferably not but only time will tell.

XCOM turned into a 3rd person shooter?

While many people are highly anticipating next week’s release of 2K Games’ XCOM: Enemy Unknown, there are a few of you who may remember that 2K Games had another XCOM game in development. In fact, 2K Marin’s first person shooter version of XCOM has been completely quiet ever since it was shown off at E3 during 2011.

However it seems that things may have taken a drastic change from what we were shown and previewed at the time if these latest rumors are to be believed. A Kotaku reader has sent in screenshots and information from a marketing survey that show that XCOM has changed into a 3rd person shooter. It also seems that the game may simply be released as a digital title rather than a full retail game because the survey also asks if consumers would simply prefer a cheaper download. 2K Games has currently not made a statement about these rumors.
