In the Critical Intel video series the 5th and final Part of the Medal of Honor Warfighter Exclusive entitled ‘THE FINAL ASSAULT‘ we get to see the Australian Warfighters “Rofo” and “Dog” put a group of chosen recruits through their paces at an intensive Tier 1 training day. The training session certainly pushes the the recruits to the limit as Rofo and Dog run them through a series of exercises and provide pointers on how to protect themselves in the heat of battle!
Check out the video trailer below and let us know what you think. Do you think you’d have what it takes to be as hardcore as the Australian Warfighters Rofo and Dog? With MOH not too far away, you can certainly try when the game is release in Australia: October 25th Au 26th NZ 2012.
Those with a tendency to lose their last meal at the sight of blood should probably not look any further regarding Capcoms latest publicity campaign for Resident Evil 6. Opening up a pop up butcher that sells human body parts called Wesker and Sons in London to appease those with a taste for human flesh (only joking). The various human parts including torsos, limbs and well… unmentionables were all designed by famous food artist Sharon Baker and for sale to the public pre the games release. The results were ultra-realistic as you can see and not something you should probably leave lying around on the back seat of the car when you go out. Either way a pretty cool idea despite the mixed reviews the game seem to get receiving from the reviewers.
According to a simulation carried out on the upcoming Football Manager 2013, Alessandro Del Piero will have an amazing debut season playing Down Under for Sydney FC in the A-League. The former World Cup and Golden Boot winner who has chosen Sydney as his home for the 2012/2013 A-League season was given the honour of player of the season by the simulation.
Football Manager 2013 went on to reveal a few more secrets about the legends upcoming season, indicating a flurry of goals and teammate assists. Not surprisingly, his introduction onto the competition will be met with increased bums on seats and merchandise sales as fans flock to see their hero in action. Del Piero is not the only huge international signing into the League with the Jets managing to get their hands on Emile Heskie, whose season also looks set to create some sparks.
“This is going to be a big season for the A-League – and not just because of the arrival of a couple of big-name European players,” says Miles Jacobson, Studio Director of Sports Interactive. “It will also be interesting to see the impact made by the arrival of Western Sydney and the introduction of the new play-off system… both of which feature in Football Manager 2013. With all of this going on, we thought it would be fun to have a look ahead and see how the A-League season might pan out.”
Only time will tell the accuracy of the simulation but either way its all setup to be a cracker season.
Football Manager 2013 is available come November 2nd for both PC and Mac
Say what you want about the New Super Mario Bros. line of games, but anyone has to admit they certainly sell well for Nintendo and until that halts, this series is around to stay for a good while. Today, Nintendo released a new trailer for the first ever HD Mario, showing off the co-op mode in all of it’s glory.
New power-ups, new enemies, and all of the bright, Mushroom Kingdom charms are running wild in the vid, and the co-op itself looks familiar, but still damn good. Check out the trailer below, and you can pick up New Super Mario Bros. U when it launches with the Wii U in November.

Players looking at picking up the fairly good Carrier Command: Gaea Mission will probably want to check out the games demo that was just released online. The demo introduces players to the Carrier Command gameplay by having two unique missions that see the players conquering the islands of Thermoplyae and Granite.
The demo also features a commentary by the games developers and showcases combat for both of the in-game vehicles. Those are the amphibious tanks, Walruses, and the flying vehicles, Mantas. The demo is set to take around 45minutes to complete.
Bethesda has announced that they are opening up a new development studio in Austin, Texas called Battlecry Studios. Interestingly enough the man who is in charge of the studio is the former executive producer at BioWare who was responsible for Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rich Vogel.
Currently it is unknown what the studio will be working on but Zenimax has placed a help-wanted type ad on their jobs board which has a listing for a number of key positions within the studio. Obviously they have literally just gotten off the ground so it is doubtful the studio is going to assist with The Elder Scrolls Online, but we may hear something from the studio in the next few months.
Gameglobe is an exciting game making game tool that is being published by Square-Enix. What this game program does is it allows for players to build games for other players to play. From the looks of things in the trailer, it looks like it will be able to handle a multitude of different game genres. I think I saw things like RPGs and Platformers in there, though it may not just be limited to those two types.
Gameglobe is a web browser based platform and as such is limited by the tools that the developers have included with the title. I’m sure that fans of games like RPG Maker will definitely want to check this out later this year.
Be sure to check out the official siteand register for the beta version. Also make sure to check out the trailer below.
Are you a gamer that’s interested in Beta testing the Medal of Honor: Warfighter multiplayer portions of the game? Then maybe you’re someone who will want to check out this latest trailer from EA.
As you will find out, the Beta is only open to the Xbox 36o consoles user base and as such, is exclusive to it. This means that Playstation 3 and PC users miss out on this opportunity.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is powered by the Frostbite 2 engine which gives the game an advanced level of destructibility and realism in comparison to other games in the genre. Will it be better than Battlefield 3? Only you can decide.
Be sure to check out the trailer embedded below for more info.
