Free World Tekken Federation membership with every copy of Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Namco Bandai has chosen to do something almost unheard of in today’s world of gaming. They are actually offering a service that will “track personal statistics against the world, create and manage teams with friends, compete in online events and discuss intricate strategies” for absolutely nothing! Remember when this used to be something that companies used to do before laying down a price on everything?

Well Namco Bandai is going to be offering the World Tekken Federation for free with every new copy of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and players can link their Xbox Live gamertag and PSN account to the service and track their stats in real-time. As for the game itself, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be released in North America on September 11th while Australia will be getting it on September 14th on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and a later release on the Wii U.

Learn how cryo sleep feels in latest “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” video

The next little vignette in Halo 4’s video series, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” has been revealed and those eager to view it can check it out below. This time around we see a short minute and a half clip of two recruits preparing for the next day’s cryo sleep, however for one of these soldiers it is his very first time.

In an attempt to settle his nerves, he asks his roommate about what cryo sleep feels like, and from what she tells him, I don’t think he is going to be sleeping well on that night. Those interested in checking out the very first full episode of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn will have to wait until October 5th when the first episode kicks off.

Kirby Fans Break Bubble Blowing Record

Kirby fans were all set to break a record for the most chewing gum bubbles blown at once, and that record has now been shattered thanks to Nintendo’s brilliant marketing technique. During PAX Prime, a record 536 fans got together to chew and blow up some fun, and that number was more than enough to enter this group of dedicated gum chewers into the Guinness World Record books, beating out the previous number of 304.

It’s nice to see dear ol’  Kirby being responsible for such a feat, and it’s even more exciting to think we are just a bit under two weeks from seeing Kirby’s Dream Collection from hitting shelves. September 16th, grab a party hat and celebrate folks, as our pink fluff is turning 20.

Aliens: Colonial Marines has female characters after all

Back at E3 this year producer of Aliens: Colonial Marines, Brian Burleson, made the mistake of saying that the game will not feature any female characters despite the fact that females played major rolls as marines the Alien movies themselves. Well it turns out that he was simply talking about the demo they were showing off at the time, not the game itself.

Today it was revealed by Randy Pitchford that the reason the company didn’t say anything about the female characters is simply because they weren’t ready to be shown off yet. In fact, Pitchford stated that female characters will be added into the multiplayer mode and will be just as customizable as their male counterparts. To top all that off, there is even a female co-op character as well.

So, do you believe this was always in the cards over at Gearbox or was this something done to quell the fan rage about no female characters? Either way, it is a win for fans of the series and gamers in general no matter what the origin of these modifications were.

Rifles for Cabela’s Hunting Expeditions Detailed

I’m not a hunter, and I honestly have never been too into the whole hunting game scene. That being said, I do respect the genre’s existence as there is a market out there for this type of game, and Cabela’s Hunting Expeditions is looking to be a fine entry in the long running series from what we have seen thus far.

Recently, Activision have came out and detailed the firearms players can “shoot dem ‘mals” with, and you can check them all out below:

To fully get the most out of the hunts, players will be able modify their firearms with various specs and attachments. Upgrades can also be purchased using Gunsmith Points. The window to land the perfect kill shot may only be open for a brief moment, prepare accordingly.

To give players a taste of what’s to come in Cabela’s Hunting Expeditions, here are a few of the game’s featured rifles:

  • Classic .223 Bolt-Action rifle – Take down Whitetail Deer and Springboks with this classic starter firearm.
  • Elite .243 Semi-Automatic rifle – This is a great, all-around firearm perfect for Mountain Goats and Pronghorn Antelope.
  • Frontiersman .350 Level-Action rifle – For more dangerous hunts, equip this advanced all-around weapon and face your fear against Lions, Rhinos, Elephants, and Cape Buffalos.

I don’t really get the point of shooting a rhino, but hell, why not…right? Cabela’s Hunting Expeditions is due out October 23rd for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Borderlands 2’s Mechromancer to launch by October 16

It has already been said multiple times that the fifth class in Borderlands 2, the Mechromancer, won’t be available immediately when the game is released on September 18th. However in an interview with Polygon, the CEO and president of Gearbox Software Randy Pitchford revealed that the class should be out “by October 16.”

He did warn however that there “may be a little fudge factor there.” When the Mechromancer is released she will be free to anyone who pre-ordered the title while everyone else will have to shell out an extra $10 to access her content. He also went on to explain that the four downloadable packs won’t just be “here have a couple of guns” but will be comparable to THe Secret Armory of General Knoxx in size.

The Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm has been arrested in Cambodia.

Cambodian authorities arrested Svartholm on Thursday in the Cambodia capital Phnom Penh, where he has been living for several years.

Svartholm who is on an international wanted list was arrested by Sweden’s request. He was handed a one-year prison sentence and is due to pay 30 million kronor ($4.48m) in damages by a Swedish court in 2009.

However he  failed to turn up to serve his term at the start of this year due to an illness which left him too sick to leave hospital in Cambodia.

There are currently no extradition treaty between Sweden and Cambodia, but Swedish authorities are awaiting more information and documents in how to best handle this particular case.

Established in 2003, The Pirate Bay has since become one of the world’s largest file sharing websites.

While the site itself contains no copyrighted material, it links users to access music, film, computer games and software using peer-to-peer torrents.
