Learn about Gears of War: Judgement’s OverRun mode from Baird

Are you curious about what Gears of War: Judgment will have to offer you once it is released next year on March 19th? Well how about you take a quick look at the below video for the game which gives viewers a brief rundown of the new multiplayer mode added for Judgement, OverRun.

In this video we are given a run down of each class players will be able to select and the various abilities each class possesses. While I’m sure everyone can’t wait to play as a COG soldier again, it certainly looks like the Locusts may have a few more fun options on their end, one of which is the ability to hop on and ride a bloodmount.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure HD screenshots released

If anyone knows how to bring an old franchise back from the dead and try to squeeze a few more dollars out of it is Capcom, but this time around it seems they have selected quite a little gem to give fans an HD remake of. Capcom announced this weekend, and then released screenshots today, of an HD upgrade of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

The screenshots can be seen below while a number of new additions have been made to the game such as graphical filters which can be turned on and off, battle points and player points to affect the leaderboards, an eight player online lobby with spectactor function, saving and watching replays and of course Achievements/Trophies.

Wreck-it Ralph joins the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed roster

If you thought that the addition of Danica Patrick to the roster of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was strange enough, well at least the character that was revealed today is at least video game related in some way. Sega has revealed that the star of Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph will be a playable character when the title is released in November.

It seems that there is a good reason that this release is called Sonic & All-Stars Racing rather than Sonic & Sega All-Stars. Still… given the movie’s plot of Ralph hopping through video games, this at least makes a decent bit of sense. Either way, gamers will be able to pick up the title on well… practically every platform in existence minus smart phones and the Wii.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s swimsuit DLC shown off

As you can see in the trailer below the DLC will provide swimsuits for not only the female cast, but also all of the men and animals as well which will make for some quite interesting fights. Currently Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is set to be released on September 11th for the PS3 and 360 while a Wii U version will be coming sometime later in the year during the holiday season.
