Settle down with Skyrim’s Hearthfire DLC

If you thought that the only thing missing from Skyrim was a home you could actually build, furnish and populate on your own, well then you’ll be happy to hear that the next piece of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC will offer you just that. The newly announced “Hearthfire” downloadable content will allow players to purchase a plot of land where they can build their very own home from the ground up.

Players can create anything from a simple cottage to a small mansion complete with an armory, laboratory and even a fish hatchery if you feel like it. Players will be able to customize their house, fight away unwanted visitors and even build a family by moving in with your wife and adopting children. The Hearthfire pack will be available next week on September 4th for only 400 MSP ($5) while PS3 and PC gamers will likely have to wait around a month to play it. Until then, you can check out the DLC’s debut trailer below.

Mysterious New Marvel Game Trailers

A mysterious trailer alluding to a new Marvel game has been released online. These videos show off some things related to the Avengers and even feature some of more recognisable Avengers. In the press release we were given, there is some kind of nonsensical message about the game, which we have reproduced below –

Marvel has released two new S.H.I.E.L.D. Briefing Videos for its new, unannounced mobile game.  In the videos, Hawkeye reports on the aftermath of the Vault breakout and Nick Fury picks the First Responder to the crisis.

This is incredibly vague and lacks a lot of context, will that context be gleaned from these two trailers? Or are they alluding to something else? Be sure to check out the two trailers below for more info.


Marvel have also revealed the Marvel XP service. This new service is the latest way to connect gamers to the Marvel Gaming Universe and is already linkable to the Marvel: Avengers Alliance game on Facebook. You can check out the Facebook page for the service here.

Does this Hot Shots Golf Cameo Hint at Sony’s next Star?

Vita fans can look forward to two of the handheld’s best releases meeting over a round of golf. Kat, the heroine of the physics bending Gravity Rush, will be making a cameo appearance in the Vita version of Hotshots Golf World Invitational.  Not much else is known at this point, although the above image would suggest that her power giving space kitty will be along for the ride, possibly bringing a gravity warping spin to some golf balls along the way.

The annoucement was made in this week’s issue of Degenki PlayStation, with details such as the release date and price of the content yet to be revealed.

Sony certainly seem keen to turn Kat into something more of a poster child by exposing the character to a larger audience – could this hint at a future appearance in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale?
