Anuman Interactive has launched a special operation to commemorate Bastille Day.

In honour of Bastille Day, Anuman is beheading the prices of their “Hidden Object” packs for 48 hours. From July 14th to 15th, the following packs will be on sale.
Assassin’s Creed 3 is already looking like it will be the best Assassin’s Creed game to date, bringing with it a number of upgrades and changes to the formula which so far have looked like massive improvements. Now at E3 there were three gameplay segments shown to the press, one of which was a naval battle shown during Sony’s Pre-E3 event, another was some wilderness exploration which has already been released to the public and finally some Boston free-roaming.
Today that Boston gameplay was released to the public by Ubisoft and it has also been given commentary by Creative Director Alexander Hutchinson. The video itself contains everything you’d expect from a title such as Assassin’s Creed 3 and more. Check it out below.
It seems that Assassin’s Creed 3 has everything a gamer could possibly want nowadays as not only will it have the series’ previous online versus mode but it will now also have a co-op mode. The mode itself is called Wolf Pack and will allow four players to work together as a team.
This team will take down twenty five waves of targets that have to be assassinated, with each assassination becoming more difficult. To make matters more pressing, there will be a timer applied so players will need to take down their targets fast. For the most part, the game will still reward players with points depending on their killing skills and targets can be tracked via a HUD compass.
Injustice: Gods Among Us has gotten quite a lot of news lately to go with the San Diego Comic Con. First it was revealed that Cyborg and Nightwing would be joining the game’s super hero roster and then we also saw a slew of images appear showing how the characters would end up looking in the title.
Now we have a new gameplay trailer which shows off most of the already announced fighters beating each other down as well as Nightwing and Cyborg in action near the end. Those curious about what the game’s storyline will have to offer can also check out the second trailer below which give’s a bit of a hint as to the title’s premise.
In Gears of War: Judgment players will be stepping into the boots of Baird and Cole as they make their way through events that occur before the main Gears of War series. Before now, the release window for the title was simply sometime in 2013 but today Epic Games Director of Production Rod Fergusson narrowed that release window down to sometime in March 2013.
It is worth noting that the studio behind Bulletstorm, People Can Fly, is primarily working on developing the title while Epic Games is collaborating with them. Still, from what we have seen so far of the game it will certainly please fans of the series to see the game continue, albeit in prequel form.
Update: Epic has narrowed down the release date to an exact date of March 19, 2013.
It seems that the rumors about a limited edition console being released alongside Halo 4 weren’t simply rumors but actual information leaks. Today Microsoft’s online store placed up their information about a special Halo 4 themed Xbox 360 which will be released next to the game this November.
The package itself can be seen above and will come with two fancy wireless controllers, a bland black headset, Halo 4 the game and a fancy themed Xbox 360 with a 320 GB hard drive. The console will run you $400, so it is actually a decent deal for those who need to upgrade their console and also want to get Halo 4.
Even if you aren’t looking into buying anything from the Summer of Arcade line-up, you can still pick up some sweet free DLC for other games you may own. In an effort to celebrate five years of the Summer of Arcade promotion, Microsoft is going to be giving away some free DLC for Minecraft and Trials Evolution.
Starting on July 18th, Minecraft players can get a “customized Summer of Arcade skin pack” which features skins from the five games released during this year’s promotion while Trials Evolution will get a new themed track each week. It is worth noting that the Minecraft DLC will be downloadable by visiting the “Summer of Arcade experience” ad.
Konami has a plethora of games set up to see and play this year at their booth in San Diego Comic-Con featuring, such as the above featured Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Featuring Raiden, players get to experience the hack and slice action of the robotically enhanced killing machine set for release at some point on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Zone of the Enders HD Collection is also getting some love at the Konami booth. The HD remake of Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 coming out for Xbox 360, PS3, and PS Vita later this year allows players to engage in mecha combat.
It’s not all combat games at the booth this year though as Karaoke Joysound, the singing only music game for Wii will be hands on as well. Featuring not only songs on the disc, but subscription based access to a monthly increased library of even more songs, the game is set for true karaoke music lovers.
New Little King’s Story will also be playable at the Konami booth, showing off the PS Vita sequel to the the Wii RPG Little King’s Story. The download title expands upon the journey of King Corobo as he reclaims his kingdom.
Long time and continually delayed Silent Hill Book of Memories will also be a the booth at Comic-Con. Another PS Vita title, this Silent Hill is designed around cooperative multiplayer with players working together to get past the challenges and puzzles unleased by the title book.
Additional titles available for play that Konami will have at their booth are below, but even below that is a gallery of the bigger versions of the screenshots featured above.
Comic-Con is upon us in San Diego and with that Konami has released more screenshots for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate. The screenshots are available below and they offer a few good looks at some of the combat and overall design of the game. It’s nice to see a bit of the chain whip, but generally being on fire is a move best saved for avoiding ninjas, not skeletons. At Comic-Con itself, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will be not only displayed, but playable for those lucky enough to get to go.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate offers an intermittent game between Lords of Shadow 1 and 2. While still following the Belmont family with Trevor Belmont, the game will also feature multiple player characters in different periods to fill in the gaps and hopefully add more depth to the Lords of Shadow storyline.
