Super Lemonade Factory Gets User-Designed Level Pack and a Free Weekend

Free Drinks! A phrase I, and I am sure many others, have come to love. But I must admit I’ve been somewhat misleading. What isn’t free is the drink, but rather the factory – Super Lemonade Factory to be precise. The indie platformer, which scored a fantastic 9 capsules out of 10, will be free this coming weekend.

Why you ask? It’s to celebrate the release of a huge update featuring user-generated levels. When the game was released in March of this year it came with the means to create levels. Following the tradition of some of Initial Games favourite games from their youth, the ability for player’s to join the staff on the factory floor was of utmost importance to the Sydney based indie devs.

Super Lemonade Factory will be updated as of Thursday 27th of September, and free for the weekend starting Friday 28th September. Click here to get your iOS copy, or here for the recently released PC/Mac Version. Check out the official website or follow Initial Games on twitter for more updates concerning Super Lemonade Factory and all other things Initial. Happy beverage carbonating to you all.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist’s fifth freedom detailed in latest trailer

Back in 1941, the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a speech which would eventually be called the “Four Freedoms” speech. In this speech he listed four liberties that everyone in the world should hold as a birthright, such as the freedom of speech and worship as well as freedom from want and fear.

However there is also a fifth freedom that has been kept under wraps. This fifth freedom gives a person the ability to defend those four freedoms from any threat no matter what it takes. Those bearing the fifth liberty have the ability to do absolutely anything in the effort to further the greater good, even take human life at no cost. Only one man has been given the fifth freedom, and gamers will be playing as him in Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Check out the trailer below to learn more.

Today is yet another big day for everyone’s favorite web slinger, as The Amazing Spider-Man has launched in Australia digitally for 4800 MS points, or $59.99 on the Playstation 3. Of course that really isn’t the news, as Activision have now delivered some DLC for the game, expanding the experience of The Amazing Spider-Man with new content to keep you flying through the streets.

Chew on these details:

  • Rhino Challenge Pack– Take control of the massive, genetically engineered villain Rhino and rampage around Manhattan in an exclusive gameplay challenge of pure destruction!  As Rhino, players will be able to unleash his formidable powers to destroy anything and everything in his path in a timed event full of speed, combo streaks, and of course, a ton of things to break!  Downloadable on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 240 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 system for $2.99.
  • Oscorp Search & Destroy Pack – In The Amazing Spider-Man video game, Spider-Man has his own smartphone to help navigate around Manhattan, locate missions and challenges and fight crime.  With this pack, Spider-Man’s smartphone will feature two mini-games inspired by classic arcade fun.   Downloadable on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 240 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 system for $2.99.
  • Lizard Rampage Pack – The notorious Lizard is on the loose again in Manhattan!  Take on the role of Dr. Connors’ terrifying alter ego in a race against time.  Go berserk through the streets using his devastating stomp attack and tail swipe to defeat Oscorp guards and earn mega points.  Use his boost jump to bound great distances over the city.  Destroy blast towers to buy yourself more time and delay Oscorp from releasing their cross-species containment blast across the city!  This pack also includes the exclusive Vigilante Spider-Man Suit from the feature film, the suit Peter Parker dons to fight crime before developing his famous costume.  Downloadable on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 320 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 system for $3.99.
  • Stan Lee Adventure Pack – For the first time ever, fans will be able to play as…STAN…(wait for it)…LEE himself in The Amazing Spider-Man video game.  Players take on the role of Stan “The Man” Lee in his own special mission across Manhattan, borrowing abilities from his old pal Spider-Man as they collect pages of his latest script in a spectacular race around Manhattan.  Stan’s mission is punctuated with his witty banter that fans have come to know and love, and a special surprise waits for them at the end of the mission – after all, this year is Spider-Man’s 50th anniversary!  Downloadable on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 320 Microsoft Points and from the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 system for $3.99.
  • The Amazing Spider-Man Bundle Pack – Finally, for the ultimate Spider-Man fan, all four content packs can be purchased together, available through the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 system for $9.99.

I honestly enjoyed my own time with The Amazing Spider-Man, and it’s nice to see the game still getting support. The best deal is of course the latter that includes all the DLC, but just knowing Stan Lee is now playable to all is enough to throw down a few digital bucks as it stands.

We all know who the leader of the pack is when it comes to top shelf, quality headsets, and now Turtle Beach has came forward to announce they will be supporting with the Wii U with some premium headgear at very affordable prices. The Ear Force NLa and Ear Force N11 will be headed out later this year for the new platform, offering up the quality that fans of the brand expect to go along with the Wii U’s new online experience.

Here are some more details:

Available in both black and white, the Ear Force NLa is the perfect headset for Nintendo gamers seeking high-fidelity audio and superior comfort at an affordable price. The NLa combines high-fidelity stereo game audio and crystal-clear communication in a sleek, lightweight and durable design. Created explicitly for use with the Wii U™ GamePad controller, the NLa features in-line volume control and noise-isolating ear cushions allowing for personalized audio while blocking out distractions. For gamers on the go, the NLa’s 4-pole connector can easily disconnect from the Wii U GamePad and connect to portable devices such as the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS hand-held systems. Arriving in Q4 2012, the NLa MSRP is $34.95.

Available in black, the Ear Force N11 headset is the ideal headset for Nintendo gamers seeking a more audio immersive experience. Its acoustically angled 50mm speakers deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance. With a fully adjustable, lightweight headband and breathable mesh ear cushions, the N11 is designed for extreme comfort during long sessions with Wii U. It also has a 4-pole connector that easily plugs-in to portable devices such as the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS. Arriving in Q4, the N11 MSRP is $49.95.

 

Not too shabby at all. For the price, these headsets are looking nice for the system, and it’s pretty awesome to know that Turtle Beach are already on board for the Wii U’s launch.

Go Back To Where You Came From Dated for DVD Release

Go Back To Where You Came From is a highly topical show that has just seen the airing of it’s second season. Asylum seekers and refugees are just about the biggest hot potato imaginable in Australia, so any show that tackles the subject head on is daring indeed. The first season saw six regular Australians travel around the world to see the other side of  the refugee crisis, and for the second season six prominent Australians get the same eye opening treatment.

The group includes Angry Anderson, rock musician and conservative political activist; Peter Reith, former Howard Government senior cabinet minister; Imogen Bailey, actress and animal rights activist; Allan Asher, former Ombudsman; Catherine Deveny, writer and comedian; and Michael Smith, former radio shock jock.

The show is an intriguing watch, as the group – who have various mixed views on the issue – are confronted with the reasons why so many people are fleeing to Australia. It’s a rare programme that seeks to inspire debate, allowing people of different political views and cultural backgrounds to be presented with the realities of an incredibly confronting issue.

SBS have just announced that Go Back To Where You Came From Season 2 will be released on DVD on November 7 2012, retailing at $29.95.
