While we may have already seen Tecmo Koei’s Japanese offerings for TGS, which contain a number of special Vita titles (such as Atelier Totori Plus and Ciel no Surge) and games we will likely never see released in North America (multiple Nobunaga’s Ambitions), Tecmo Koei America has chosen to make a little announcement of their own with what they will have to show off during the event.
While the English list may be much smaller than the Japanese one, there still are some impressive titles, the four of which can be seen below:
Dead or Alive 5 (PS3, 360)
Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 (PS3, 360, Wii U)
Dynasty Warrior 7 Empires (PS3)
Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper (Wii U)
With Tokyo Game Show kicking off on September 20th and running until the 23rd, you better stay tuned for plenty of announcements from a number of companies, and Tecmo Koei is likely to be one of them.
With Tokyo Game Show right around the corner, Atlus has chosen to reveal a more in-depth trailer for their upcoming 3DS game, Shin Megami Tensei IV. Some of you may recognize a few snippets of this trailer from a previous showing, but as you can see in the video below, a number of new things have also been added.
To be a bit more specific, viewers will find some new cinematics, some voice work and even some gameplay mixed in with older content. As for those who are attending TGS, Atlus is planning on showing a full uncut version of this trailer at their booth. Considering we will be having a man on the floor during the event, we will let you know what that contains in a few days.
One of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, The Rock, is joining WWE ’13 and giving you the chance to relive all his glory moments with the all-new “Attitude Era” Mode.

For creatures with no limbs, those pigs from Angry Birds have quite the knack for construction. Some of those towers can take quite a pounding. How did they get to be so handy?
Rovio have just released a gameplay trailer for the spinoff game, Bad Piggies, and it puts that question to rest.
When it launches next week, players will guide the Green Legless Ham in contraption construction, then drive their weird vehicles through various obstacle courses.
It looks like a wise move for the franchise: the Angry Birds were all about destruction, so a game about construction, starring the original enemies, is the perfect antithesis, while still maintaining a focus on physics puzzles.
Check out the trailer below, and get ready to hear the other side of the story on September 27, on iOS and Android.
While may of us already knew that Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper will be coming to the Wii U, Tecmo Koei has announced today that the game will actually be a Wii U launch title rather than simply launch window. While Warriors Orochi 3 may have already been released on other consoles already, the Wii U version will feature a number of special additions.
Although the title already featured a number of special guests before, such as characters from Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden and other Tecmo Koei titles, Hyper will also include a brand new character that has not been in past Warriors games. It will also feature a brand new “Duel Mode” which looks similar to a fighting game at first glance. Check out the trailer below to see for yourself and be sure to check out the game when you pick up your Wii U in November.
DMD Enterprise has released a gameplay trailer showing off Uprising44: The Silent Shadows in action for its release to digital distribution. The gameplay trailer, which players can check out embedded below, shows off more of the combination of the Third-Person Perspective and the Real-Time Strategy as the video shows the player character moving through the streets, then commanding others through their binoculars.
Uprising44: The Silent Shadows is based on the biggest civilian uprising in WWII where the Silent Shadows, precursors to our modern day special forces, dropped behind enemy lines to aid civilians in a resistance. Taking place in Warsaw, it is also the first interdependent computer game based on the incident there. Priced at $14.99 or 11.99 EUR players interested in downloading the game can find it from Get Games HERE, Green Man Gaming HERE, or Gamers Gate for PC HERE and Mac HERE.
While some hitmen may simply go for the easy kills with guns, Agent 47 isn’t afraid of getting his hands a little wet when it comes to assassinations. While players can choose to use any number of firearms they please, there are many more ways to take down your targets in Hitman: Absolution and each one looks more brutal than the next.
As players aim for their target they can choose any number of items to kill those in their way. They’ll have a choice from your classic garrote wire and silenced pistols and other firearms as well as a number of more… lets say improvised weaponry as well. This means nearly everything can be used as a weapon in Agent 47’s hands. Don’t believe me? Then check out the trailer below to see for yourself.
With Borderlands 2 set to be released tomorrow in North America, 2K Games and Gearbox Software have chosen today to release the launch trailer for the title which can be seen below. As one would expect, the trailer promises some epic co-op multiplayer packed with more guns than you can shake a midget at.
As for the rest of the world, they will have to wait until September 20th when the game is released on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in their regions. Until then however, they can spend some time shooting up Handsome Jack’s rock face and maybe win some neat prizes here.
EA and BioWare have just announced Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Other than an approximate release window of “late 2013” not much information was given in the press release, however we do also know that, through collaboration with DICE, the game will run on an all new engine based on Frostbite 2 tech.
Even though Dragon Age 2 was considered a step backwards for the franchise by many, a sequel was always none-the-less expected. And it seems that it’s developers over at BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal are making great efforts to rectify fan’s complaints for the upcoming Inquisition the studios’ General Manager, Aaryn Flynn, states: “We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral. Aaron Flynn, General Manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal.”
Those words are no doubt encouraging for the series’ vocal fans who clamored for a return-to-form of sorts for the franchise, with the first title, Dragon Age: Origins, setting the bar high for non-linear and dynamic narrative – something that was inexplicably butchered in Dragon Age 2. With the Dragon Age team having already worked on Inquisition for almost two years, the turnaround will be almost a year and a half longer than the one between Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2; not being rushed is a great sign that BioWare can make good on it’s above promises. Visit the Dragon Age 3: Inquisition pageon the official Dragon Age website for an open letter by Executive Producer, Mark Darrah.
For those Dragon Age fans, how optimistic/excited are you for Inquisition?
