No reason was given for the week delay on the Left 4 Dead blog, but a full detailing of the release is available on the Cold Stream Update page HERE.

The end draws nigh, which means that the only thing left to do is to release an all gameplay trailer for it. THQ and Vigil Games’ Darksiders II has received a new trailer and players can check it out embedded below. The title of the trailer? “Death Comes for All” and he certainly seems to be. The accompanying text for the trailer:

Join us for our first all-gameplay trailer for Darksiders II, the Crowfather sets the stage for our tale: where the fate of mankind may be determined by the actions of the most feared horseman of the apocalypse: Death.

certainly sets the stage for arguably the most well known horseman. In the last game War certainly killed a lot of foes, but I suppose as it is pretty much his job in general Death will hopefully get a bigger list of those to take out.

Darksiders II is currently set to release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in August 2012.

The Android X360

It looks like people just can’t get enough of copying names and designs or products lately, or at least that is what it seems like when the China based company: Long Xun Software has decided to create a PS Vita look alike that is named the Droid X360.

As you can see, they are just asking to be sued for copyright infringement, stealing patents, etc. The design for this system is exactly the same as the PS Vita, from the D-pad to the joysticks, it is all the same. The name of the device also appears to be something that was lifted from both Microsoft and Motorola, which is plainly evident to anyone paying the slightest attention.

The device runs on Android 4.0 and includes: front and rear facing cameras, 8GB of internal storage, and comes preloaded with games that have been illegitimately lifted from other devices. There have been reports that the device will include games such as: Mario N64, Mario Kart N64, 40-Winks, Bomberman Heroes, F-Zero X, Rockman, Batman NES, Super Smash Bros., Final Fight, and Cadillac’s and Dinosaurs.

Considering it runs on Android 4.0 it should also be able to run games like Angry Birds and Temple Run. If anyone even wants this phony machine you’ll have to head over to China to purchase it.

Rhys Darby – This Way to Spaceship

2012 is an exciting year for the British what with hosting the Olympics and all. Not so good, though, is that the world’s going to end this December according to an ancient Mayan calendar. Not that I believe in it, but Rhys Darby does – at least for the purposes of his comedy set.

This Way to Spaceship, Rhys Darby’s first ever UK tour, recounts a life once lived and how it gave him the unique set of skills that led to a place on a spaceship to salvation. These skills mainly being a proficiency with sound effects and a nimbleness on the dance floor, Rhys offers a master class in physical theatre.

His material ranges from the observational to the downright silly, incorporating the same lovable goofiness seen during his time as the fictional band manager of Flight of the Conchords and in his various film roles. He draws on his childhood and his experiences in the New Zealand Army for a face-achingly funny routine of ridiculous scenarios and stories.

*Rhys Darby’s UK Tour This Way to Spaceship has ended, but he will be performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012*
