You may remember that a few months ago, an image that supposedly showed all of the contents of an Aliens: Colonial Marines collector’s edition appeared online, however at that time SEGA made no comment on the image. Well today the company revealed their own, exact same image along with some details about what you will receive if you choose to purchase the $100 collector’s edition.

The package includes:

  • Resin Powerloader statue.
  • Four multiplayer characters based on the movies — Hicks, Drake, Apone and Hudson.
  • Ripley’s Flamethrower.
  • Extra character customization options.
  • Exclusive weapons — Phase Plasma Rifle and Sonic Electronic Ball Breakers.
  • Exclusive level — USMC Firing Range.
  • USCM Dossier — includes mission brief, USS Sephora schematic, Recruitment card, LV-426 recon photo, USCM iron-on badges, USCM graduation certificate.
  • Xenomorph “Hive” packaging.

This is obviously a very extensive package and from the image above it is quite obvious that fans of the Aliens franchise, or even fans of Collector’s Editions will find the $100 price tag rather cheap for what is offered. As shown in the image, potential buyers of the game will have to wait until February 12, 2013 when Aliens: Colonial Marines is released to pick up this nice little package.

Dead Space 3 screenshots reveal co-op mode

EA may have been wanting to keep their Dead Space 3 reveal a secret until next week’s E3 press conference, but it seems that you can’t always get what you want, especially if you are a large publishing company. All Games Beta has tossed up a slew of screenshots which are taken from the next Dead Space Game.

In these images it is shown that Isaac Clarke is going to have a friend with him this time around, though obviously no information has been revealed yet except for the fact that the game may take place on an ice world. So… how do you feel about a horror game with co-op gameplay? Personally I am not a big fan of this move considering the fact that it will be truly difficult to scare someone when they are playing with another person. However I will withhold further judgment until next week when EA is likely to officially announce Dead Space 3.

Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive has released the first trailer for Pro Cycling Manager 2012, but unfortunately it is only a teaser.  The teaser, which players can see below, shows a bit more of the graphics in action.  It’s amazing seeing all the different cyclists moving together like a flood of color down the track and gives a better scope than just seeing what they can show from ground cameras in real life.

While details for Pro Cycling Manager are a bit limited for now, the game is expanding from 2011 with more teams and races, plus new specialized training to prepare your cyclists for the different types of courses, such as mountain terrain.  The AI has also been reworked to better account for varying situations, like upcoming terrain or opponent fatigue, so that they don’t burn themselves out when taking on the other racers.

Playstation Vita To Receive Three More Apps

The Playstation Vita will be receiving another three apps in the coming months: Travel Bug, Ecolibrium and Imaginstruments. Each app will utilise the specific features of the Vita, taking advantage of the front touch screen, rear touch pad, 3G connectivity and front and rear cameras. Each app will be available for free, but no solid release date has been announced.

Travel Bug follows a player created bug itching for some traveling. Using the cameras, players can take snapshots of locations they visit (via their bug) and track it on an interactive map. There is also a competitive element to the app. Using near, players can compete in a mad dash to a particular destination.

Ecolibriumis an imaginative eco-system simulator where the aim is to maintain harmony within your own created environment. If the environment becomes unbalanced, species in your eco-system must be fed manually until you have restored balance and created the optimum environment for your animals and plants. Players can collect different and  trade species with near.

Imaginstruments is an imaginary instrument application built with the Vita inputs in mind. Players can play drums, guitar, theremin, and even the violin. Once each imaginstrument has been mastered players can record their tracks and share with other players.

 

Shin Megami Tensei IV heading to the Nintendo 3DS

Following the announcement in the latest issue of Japanese video game publication, Famitsu Magazine, a teaser site has just been launched for the next major RPG project from Atlus games, Shin Megami Tensei IV.

It’s been a while since we seen a proper entry in the main line of Shin Megami Tensei games, as for the past few years or so we have seen numerous entries in the Persona sub series as well as the Devil Survivor sub series. Worth noting however is Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for the Nintendo DS, which essentially played like the games in the main Shin Megami Tensei series, and to many fans this was in fact the fourth entry in the main series.

Turns out this was not the case as the true Shin Megami Tensei IV is set to be released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS, and will be the first real entry in the main series since Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

The teaser site only carries an image, and just by that it is pretty evident that this will be a dark, brooding, and post apocalyptic RPG like the ones before it.

Hockey is a sport that benefits from strong skating abilities. Some players go as far to take lessons from figure skaters and many retired hockey players have participated in a popular Canadian reality show called Battle of the Blades that partners retired hockey stars with figure skaters competing in figure skating competitions. So it is little wonder that EA Sports chose to make skating one of the major improvements in NHL 13.

With the big changes announced for NHL 13, EA Sports released a brand new trailer called Every Stride Matters. The video shows off the highly realistic physics based skating animations and brand new AI engine featured in NHL 13. Check out the new trailer below.

Just as we welcomed the infamous Noxian battlerager Darius, League of Legends opens its gates to his blood-thirsty brother. Riot offers a quick sneak peek for onlookers as Darius’s brother Draven makes his way to the Fields of Justice with dual cleavers. At first glance, Draven seems to be veering a little to close to crazy. Must be that Noxian pride shining through!

If you would like to flaunt your Noxian pride as well, you can find “The Blood Brothers” wallpaper (here) featuring the above image. For additional information about Draven, stayed tuned for the next League of Legends article “A new champion approaches… Draven”. To catch a glimpse of Draven’s art spotlight, take a gander below to see the creative development of blood dripping insanity.

With the release of the ‘Wiimake’ of the PlayStation 2 (and later Xbox) supernatural horror classic, Fatal Frame 2 (or Project Zero 2 to some), looming close. A nice five minute overview trailer has been released for it.

Fatal Frame 2 is among the most emotional, psychological, and horrific horror experiences to have ever graced gaming. As frightening as the experience was, it was still eerily and hauntingly beautiful, as it had an amazing art style and great use of lighting and visual effects to create an atmospheric ambience.

You can view the trailer below, which sheds a little light on the story, shows off some of the CG sequences, and plenty of gameplay action. Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition should be a nice remake of the original.

James Cameron’s masterpiece will be available in high definition for the first time ever. Marking the 101st anniversary of RMS Titanic, you can now pre-order the Blu-ray in 2D or 3D with participating retailers.

“Blu-ray extends Titanic’s immersive 3D theatrical experience into audiences’ homes, where their living room becomes the backdrop for big spectacular environments and intense action, as well as profoundly intimate human moments, allowing generations of fans – new and old – to truly become part of the movie like never before.”

No only is the movie in ultimate high-definition, but it also has more than 2.5 hours of all-new bonus footage including an in-depth exploration of the film with James Cameron, as well as National Geographic documentary footage with James Cameron and Titanic experts solving remaining mysteries of why the ‘unsinkable’ ship sank.

So if you’re one of those people who loves special features, this is definitely worth picking up.

I mean, who doesn’t love Titanic? The story of two star-crossed lovers who meet on the legendary cruise ship that was dubbed the ‘ship of dreams’. So why not pick up a super high-definition version with a tonne of extra features and round out that Blu-ray collection?
