RAMBO is a massive franchise with a tonne of bloodshed, bullets, and general awesome. There’s nothing quite like watching Sylvester Stallone go crazy with a range of weapons, and it makes it just so much awesome when you get a chance to be in the driver seat.

UK game publisher Reef Entertainment announced that the RAMBO video game will be able to be played on the show floor this year at Gamescom. Reef Entertaiment Commercial Director Craig Lewis had this to say about the game:

‘We have been quiet since we acquired the Rambo license last August. During this time we have been dedicated to creating a videogame for consoles and PC that will allow Rambo fans and gamers across the globe to really get under the skin of Rambo and wield his iconic weapon-set in battle.’

The official RAMBO game website can be found HERE, so head on over there for more information, or keep tuned to Capsule Computers as more information about the game comes out.

New Of Orcs and Men Trailer and Website

Of Orcs and Men is looking more promising with every new media release. The game is due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September, and is taking a slightly unusual approach to its set up. Orcs are an oft abused enemy in countless games but here the players role is that of the oppressed, the green, the ever angry Orc. There is also a Goblin character up for grabs, who will provide a more rogue style of gameplay than the bulky warrior Orc.

The new trailer released today is very much an atmosphere builder and something of a story introduction, setting up for an unusual fantasy tale. Arkail (the Orc) and Styx (the Goblin) are sent on a suicide mission into the heart of human territory with one objective: kill the  human emperor!

A good handful of settings get a look in, as well as some voice acting that hints at an entertaining enough story. The official website for the title has also just gone live, and if the trailer below peaks your interest, make sure and check it out for some more information.

Zelda, Golf, Tennis and some Pottery Slide into the eShop

Welcome to the first week of Nintendo’s 8-bit Summer! This week Nintendo are tackling the classics and giving us a nice gulp of sports and what-not with a slew of digital releases.

First up comes the legendary and original beast that started it all, The Legend of Zelda. This NES port was original released on the 3DS eShop to ambassadors, but has eluded everyone else who bought the 3DS a bit late. You can grab Zelda and Link’s first ever sword for $4.99. Also seeing a wide release on the same platform and price is NES Open Tournament Golf, which is pretty much the original Mario golf of sorts, unofficially..that is.

Arc System Works love their sports, too. Family Tennis 3D takes an anime-styled cast and throws them in a full tennis romp for $6.99. Also included is of course the 3D visuals you would expect and three mini-games.

Akari by Nikoli is out for $4.99, and as most Nikoli games are, this is a puzzler involving lights and numeric combinations. Topoloco is also $4.99, but is more of an app that teaches younger players topography in a unique and delightful way.

Next up for the DSiWare is 3, 2, 1… WordsUp!..and yes, that is the title. This game lets players build words out of a set amount of letters while under pressure from a timer. It may be a niche game, but $1.99 isn’t too much of a risk for those of you who crave your vocabulary testers.

Wii have been needing some WiiWare as of late, and one of the most..well..different titles has been released on that service for 500 Points. Let’s Create! Pottery is as it sounds, and offers a relaxing pottery class on the console without a Demi Moore in sight. Finally, 2020 Super Baseball has arrived on the Wii’s Virtual Console and adds a futuristic twist to the sport with land mines and armor spilled into the mix. 2020 Super Baseball is priced at 900 points.

On sale this week is Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword, which is now just $4.99 (a two dollar discount), and those anticipating Heroes of Ruin can snag the demo this week to get a first taste.

Phew…well, no one can argue that Ninty didn’t deliver in quantity this week, and you can pick these titles up now across their preferred platforms. What sports/pottery/Zelda/word-game are you planning on picking up this week?

Winx Club Graphic Novel Series Now Available

Forget about My Little Pony. The Winx Club are some ferocious fairies that spend their time fluttering about and have to constantly deal with three witches by the name of The Trix. VIZ Media are ready to take to the Nickelodeon show one step further, giving these fluttery heroes their own graphic novel set of three.

Here are the details on all that will be hitting shelves:

WINX CLUB: Volume 1, Bloom’s Discovery: Meet Bloom, a normal teenager whose life becomes extraordinary when she discovers she’s actually a fairy, and befriends four other fairies to form the Winx Club. In her first days at school, Bloom has to fight the wicked powers of Icy, Stormy and Darcy – the rival club known as the Trix!

WINX CLUB: Volume 2, Secrets of Alfea: Alfea throws a big party for new students — but how will Bloom find her way out of a Trix trap to join the fun?

WINX CLUB: Volume 3, A Job for Bloom: Bloom makes new friends and discovers ancient enemies when she gets a job at a happening restaurant on the lakefront of Magix!

Bloom is quite a card, just discovering she is a fairy and all. It looks like that this series will be solid enough for fans, and you know those nasty yet tricky witches are sure to cause a ruckus for our fairy friends. It’ll also be interesting to see how this party will turn out. If Bloom missed this, she will be shunned for life…and nobody likes a party pooper, especially Alfea.

Volumes 1 and 2 are available now, and you can find out how this nutty job goes when it hits stores on September 4th with Volume 3’s zany release.

Final Fantasy XIII-3 could be on the way

Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 game director Motomu Toriyama stated in an interview with Famitsu that Square has finished the DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2, but that we could see the cast again again at some point which is possible considering Final Fantasy XIII-2 has sold over 2.4 million copies. Speculation is that we could see an announcement at the Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event in Shibuya between August 31st and September 2nd about Final Fantasy XIII-3, which will feature an art gallery on the Franchise.

Toriyama had this to say when asked about the possibility.

“The [FFXIII-2] Lightning download content had an ending that left a feeling mystery and hope. The day when the meaning of this will come to light is not too far off.”

What do you think, should there be a Final Fantasy XIII-3?

Namco Bandai has delayed the European release of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 to October of this year.

Namco Bandai confirmed the new release date of City Interactive’s stealth shooter sequel, although it is not yet clear whether this is because the game needs more time to finish, or if it is just one of these tactical postponements in order to avoid a busy release window. The reputation of quietness of the August release schedule suggests it could be the former, but there were previous delays to game to factor in to your suspicions. It will now launch on October 9th for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, instead of August 21st.

Georges St-Pierre lends his fighting talent to Sleeping Dogs

One of the best looking features of Sleeping Dogs we’ve seen so far is the brutal combat system and it seems that United Front Games, developers of the title, had a little help in making this combat look not only genuine but also viscous. Today it was revealed that Georges St-Pierre lent his fighting talent to create an authentic looking fighting system.

The video can be seen below and it features a long voice over by GSP as he describes how a fighter truly can become strong, while we are shown clips of Wei Shen performing a number of MMA styled moves on his enemies. It seems that everything that has been shown off by Square Enix since their acquisition of the Sleeping Dogs license is of excellent quality, meaning that when the title comes out on August 14th, it looks like it will be quite the treat.
