Cartoon Wars Blade slicing its way onto itunes

The guys from GAMEVIL are at it again, this time with a new release RPG title called Cartoon Wars Blade which is sure to delight both fans of the original title and all RPG lovers alike. Set 10 years after the history making Cartoon Wars, you take on the role of a warrior, not content with his routine life within the kingdom and thus leaving his home in search of adventure and new lands.

Each level is crammed full of enemies that must be felled in real time battles if the warrior is to survive the intense battles and adventure as well as remain in one piece. Some of the games many features include huge amounts of unlockable levels and enemies, stages and weapons, one directional controls and attacks as well as a wide and varied amount of character customisation all rounded off nicely with an upbeat and motivational soundtrack.

Need For Speed Most Wanted Get Wanted Trailer

EA and Criterion have released a new trailer for the upcoming Need For Speed Most Wanted. This trailer showcases some aspects of the game, such as gameplay and visuals. More in depth though, is that it showcases high-speed police chases that will be prevalent in the game.

This trailer really attempts to exemplify what it is to be the most wanted. You can tell this because the trailer really puts you up close to the carnage between player and police within the game. What’s even cooler is that it shows that the player can switch vehicles whilst in the middle of a chase.

Be sure to check out the trailer embedded below for more info.

First details and images revealed for Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus

1

Some of you may remember that during Sony’s Tokyo Game Show presentation they revealed that Marvelous AQL is working on a Senran Kagura game exclusively for the PlayStation Vita. The name of this game happens to be Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and some scans from the latest issue of Famitsu, courtesy of TaleTaleSource, give us a quick look at the game’s characters, gameplay and features.

Rather than playing on a 2D field like the 3DS versions, battles will take place on a 3D plane where gamers can access 20 playable characters. The characters will still have their clothing ripped up and destroyed as they fight and gamers can play against others via a Wi-Fi connection. Along with the previous schools in the game, two new forces will be added into Shinovi Versus.

The “Death Cram School Ladies Institute of Moonlight” and “Red Blaze Corps” will be joining the “National Hanzou Academy” and “Private Ladies Academy of the Serpent” this time around. Famitsu also details that all first run versions of the game will feature a visual art book, a soundtrack, a drama CD and a folder with a risque image of the most popular character in the series.

The scans can be seen below and gamers can begin to hope for some news of a localization, though the chances seem to be relatively slim.

Silent Hill: Book of Memories demo available in Europe tomorrow

Today it has been discovered that a demo for the Silent Hill: Book of Memories on the PlayStation Vita will be available for everyone who happens to have a European PlayStation Vita. Interestingly enough, North American Vita owners are currently in the dark as to whether or not the demo will be released on the US PS Store.

This is rather significant considering the fact that Sony will only allow one account per Vita, and unless gamers in North America have more than one memory card to work with, they will be unable to access the demo. This is quite a shame as demo access would probably go a long way in silencing all of the naysayers who hate the title over one trailer. We’ve reached out to Konami to see if they will clarify the issue, but until then gamers can look forward to Silent Hill: Book of Memories’ release date on October 16th.

Well there you have it, that is the complete soundtrack listing for Forza Horizon. The game itself is set to race into stores on October 23rd exclusive to the Xbox 360. Be sure to let us know what you think of the soundtrack in the comments section below.

 

Wargame takes to the Air and Land for Battle

Do you like war games? Then you’ll love Wargame! Probably.

The European war games are escalating, as Wargame: European Escalation gets some free DLC.

This third DLC pack, titled Commander, will add an extra game mode, Economy, which has players focus on managing their resources, judging whether to save their command points and advance their army against enemies, or spend them to defend their own territory.

The DLC pack also adds two new maps, providing mountainous regions where players can try out this new mode and the existing ones.

If free DLC is enticing but paying for a game with free DLC isn’t, you’re in luck! For the next few days, Steam is offering Wargame: European Escalation at 66% off.

But while escalating the European war game, are you finding there aren’t enough air-land battles? Well, you’re even more in luck! The next wargame, Wargame: AirLand Battle, probably features more air-land battles per war than your average war game!

Wondering what war game air-land battles look like? They’ve got that covered too: the first screenshots for the new Wargame, Wargame: AirLand Battle, have been released, and indeed show off some air-land battles. In a game. About war.

Just enjoy the pretty pictures.

FIFA 13 Receiving Early Praise Ahead Of Launch

The next iteration of FIFA, FIFA 13, has already received early universal praise before the official launch in Australia and New Zealand this week. EA has been quite proud of the reviews coming in, they have decided to make a video about it. All I can say is congratulations on EA for the praise they are receiving. Awards that the game has received were also featured in this video.

Capsule Computers will be getting their hands on FIFA 13 this week with a review to come soon after. The Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita version will be put under the microscope, but early play does look positive for both the PS3 and Vita versions: Expect FIFA 13 in Australia on September 27 and in New Zealand on September 28.
