If you’ve been busy collecting materials and gold over the past week when the next piece of Skyrim DLC, Hearthfire, was announced then you will now be able to put all of it to good use. Today anyone who happens to own a Xbox 360 version of Skyrim can now pick up the Hearthfire DLC from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 MSP.
Hearthfire adds a house building mode allowing players to create and customize their own house and add in various crafting areas, storage and even livestock. Players can even adopt children and move their wife into their house. Currently it is unknown when the DLC will make it to the PC or if it will make it at all to the PS3.
As part of a special bonus, anyone who happens to pre-order WWE 13 before it is released on October 30th will be getting a chance to play as Mike Tyson. Today THQ released a little interview with Tyson where he talks about his few appearances in the WWE back in the ’90s. The interview is being conducted by Paul Heyman but you can only hear him at one point.
The video can be found below and is worth watch, especially when Tyson takes a little shot at himself saying what is next, an ear joke? Don’t worry Tyson, no one will ever forget about that. Shame that it probably won’t be his finishing move when the title hits the Xbox 360, PS3 and even the Wii next month.
Focus Home Interactive and WizarBox Games have released the trailer for the third and final playable character in R.A.W. (Realms of Ancient War) with the Rogue. The trailer just shows off the Rogue going around beating down the bads with her bow and daggers, but in addition to the trailer itself Focus Home has finally announced the release date for R.A.W. for XBLA, PSN, and PC as September 19th.
Realms of Ancient War is an action RPG that beyond the regular single player will also feature coop play as the players go out into the world to stop an evil in a continent already suffering from a terrible war a decade before. Besides the Rogue, the previously featured playable characters were the Wizard and the Warrior, so players should be able to play exactly how they want when it comes out September 19th.
If you happened to buy Dragon’s Dogma on the Xbox 360 back when it was released then you probably have already tried out the demo for Resident Evil 6 and while PlayStation 3 owners can now use their codes to play the demo today, they won’t be too far ahead of everyone else as Capcom revealed today that a new demo featuring different stages fro Leon, Jake and Chris as well as some online co-op gameplay will be released to the public on September 18th.
For those who enjoy the demo, it is worth noting that Resident Evil 6 will be hitting consoles on October 2nd so there isn’t too much longer to wait at this point in time.
Those who have been hoping for an eventual Skies of Arcadia HD re-release or even a simple re-release of the title on current-generation consoles may be able to get their hopes up a little bit today as it has been discovered by CVG that Sega has renewed the trademark on the title.
Of course this isn’t solid proof of an HD remake or even proof that anything for Skies of Arcadia is even being developed, though it is worth noting that it is also one of the most requested of Sega’s older titles next to Shenmue. Will something eventually be done with Skies of Arcadia? Let’s hope so, because it truly was a gem back on the Dreamcast and would probably do well this generation.
Another day another Wii U pricing and release date rumor. This latest rumor comes from an online supplier called Video Products Distributors’, which handles products that are given to Amazon, Newegg and Blockbuster, listing which GoNintendo happened to catch a glimpse of. The listing of this supplier pointed to three different versions of the Wii U available at launch, though exactly what these three models will contain or what their differences are currently unknown.
We have the following release date of November 11th and prices:
WIIU SYSTEM – GM 11/11/12 $249.99
WIIU SYSTEM W/ – GM 11/11/12 $299.99
WIIU SYSTEM 349 W/ – GM 11/11/12 $349.99
It is worth noting that Nintendo still has made no official statement at this point, so this should be taken as a rumor still at this point, though with the holiday season creeping up on us, it won’t be long until Nintendo makes a statement of their own.
When Dead or Alive 5 is released later this month on September 25th, there will be a special collector’s edition version of the title which will include a number of special swimsuits for the female half of the roster. Now we’ve already seen what most of their swimsuits will looklike and even what Helena’s outfit will be, but what about our guest character from Virtua Fighter Sarah and La Mariposa (Lisa)?
Today Tecmo Koei revealed these last two swimsuits which can be seen below. It is worth noting that those who also pre-order the game from Amazon or GameStop also have the ability to gain somespecial bunny bikinisdepending on their retailer of choice, making Dead or Alive 5’s swimsuit count rivaled only by Dead or Alive Xtreme.
Have you ever wanted to see an assassin in action out in the real world and not just in a video game? Well now you can. Ronnie Shalvis, a professional user of Parkour a “traceur” has made a short video showcasing his amazing physical ability while dressed as Ezio from Assassin’s Creed. For anyone out there who doesn’t know what Parkour is here is a brief description.
A physical discipline of movement focused on overcoming obstacles and a method of training the human body to become stronger, more agile and faster, while remaining efficient and able to move freely to pass diverse obstacles by combining a variety of movements such as running, climbing, swimming, vaulting, leaping and rolling.
Now doesn’t this sound exactly like what Altair and Ezio from Assassin’s Creed do on a regular basis? I believe so, and by checking out the video below you’ll also agree with us to. If there was to be an Assassin’s Creed movie would Ronnie Shalvis be the perfect man for the job?
One flimsy structure at a time, those Angry Birds have done a commendable job of tackling the green pig menace. Their arsenal includes just about every platform known to gamers. They work all year round – in fact, they seem to work harder around key seasons and holidays. And they’ve even tracked the damn things into outer space! That’s dedication.
Do the math: with over a billion downloads worldwide, that equates to a lot of squashed pigs. Unfortunately, it looks like they’ve yet to put much of a dent in the pigs’ resistance. Rovio have teased a spinoff game, titled Bad Piggies, due for release on September 27, for iOS, Android and Mac, with PC and Windows Phone versions to follow shortly after.
There’s not much info available yet, but according to Fast Company, who toured the studio and got to try the game out, Bad Piggies does away with much of the Angry Birds formula.
“The swine are stranded on a desert island and have to build vehicles and contraptions to make their way to the delicious eggs that they can’t seem to get enough of. Though there is a three-star mechanic at work, there are no birds in sight, and the pigs are bouncy, jovial, and downright likable–a far cry from the snorting, antagonizing characters from the Angry Birds installments.”
Rovio mentioned years ago that an Angry Birds sequel-of-sorts might feature the pigs as the playable characters, an idea that I was keen on straight away. I’ll be watching this like a hawk.
