Running on the success of Rayman Origins, Rayman Jungle Run sees Ubisoft’s platforming hero run across iOS screens. Don’t be fooled by the graphics, this is not a pocket sized Origins, but a totally new game. Following a very similar formula to many iOS games, Jungle Run is a continuous run and jump game. Yeah, the name gives that away, doesn’t it? Regardless, the game features amazing graphics using the UbiArt Framework engine that was used in Rayman Origins, new worlds to discover, new powers to unlock, captivating music, touch-based controls. As is iOS standard now, there is Cloud saving support and GameCenter Leaderboards, as well as some wallpapers for you to unlock. Rayman fans can download the game via the iTunes App store for a mere $2.99. So why not run on over.

New Sherlock Title Unleashed Tomorrow
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is finally seeing release. Available in Europe tomorrow and in North America on September 25th, the game will hit both retail and digital download across the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. To honor the occasion a launch trailer has just been released, promising blood and gore, intense violence and use of drugs in what is a surprisingly high ratings card for a Sherlock title.
Indeed the game is potentially something of a step up for the character in terms of video game adaptations. Usually confined to handhelds and the PC, this console release boasts significantly better tech than its predecessors – boasting motion capture performances and a new graphics engine. Sherlock Holmes is certainly an incredibly strong media presence at the moment, so here’s hoping the game can live up to the popular movies and excellent BBC TV show.

It also seems that new content will also be coming after the game is released and it will be entirely free. After being asked a question by The Verge, a Team Ninja representative said that “After launch we are preparing a long list of free downloadable content for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. We can’t give details this evening, but we can tell you that series fans are going to love it.”

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge Trailer Shows Off Ayane as Playable Character
Any Ninja Gaiden fans that were missing out on the blood and violence lacking from Ninja Gaiden 3 will be pleased to find out that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for the Wii U will not be lacking this time around. In the trailer just released, which players can check out embedded below, not only does the game show off the visceral blood and gore suited for ninjas going at it, but it also shows off Ayane in combat too.
The trailer does a good job as always from Team Ninja making Ayane look super sexy as well as super deadly as she cuts her way through plenty of enemies. But fans of Ryu Hayabusa shouldn’t feel left out either as he gets some screen time too, going at it and also giving a nice show with his enemies blood as he cuts them down. Players can check out the trailer embedded below to see it all in action, hopefully Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge can live up to expectations on the Wii U.
