The cult hit comic book series turned TV series, The Walking Dead, has been released as a video game. The first episode of the video game series was released earlier today on the PC, Mac and the Playstation Network. It will be released “soon” on the Xbox360 platform.
To celebrate the launch of the game, Telltale have released a launch trailer containing gameplay footage to tease people into buying the game. The game follows the adventure of Lee Everett, who was convicted for murder and now has a chance at redemption in this new undead world.
So be sure to check out the trailer, embedded below for more information.
GI Joe: Retaliation is just about as blockbuster action film-y as you can expect from a movie with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Bruce Willis, and Channing Tatum.
The Joes are back, and this time Cobra isn’t their only enemy. With a sneaky presidential swap that is nowhere near as fun or full of delightful hijinks as it sounds, a full scale attack on Joes world wide, and a whole bunch of explosions and high-tech toys, GI Joe: Retaliation is definitely one of those movies that’s going to give you a whole bunch of adrenaline just from sitting in your seat.
And, as a massive plus, the writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were responsible for Zombieland, guaranteeing that this isn’t going to be just another action flick with no depth. Cough, Michael Bay, cough.
From the short sneak peek at some of the action, this is going to be something that makes you feel like you’ve run a marathon by the end of it. There are awesome gadgets, some truly breathtaking action scenes, and absolutely killer choreography for the fight scenes. If the pace of the fight scenes is anything to go off, GI Joe: Retaliation promises to be a super fast-paced, rocketing ahead, action flick with enough explosions, gun fights, and sword/ninja-star fights to keep any action fan happy.
Paramount have also released the second international theatrical trailer for GI Joe: Retaliation, and boy is it explosive. Not only does it look like Duke’s role in the film may not last for very long, London doesn’t do very well for itself either. Check out the trailer below.
GI Joe: Retaliation is due for release in Australia on August 2, 2012. The US have a slightly earlier date, and get to see it on June 29, while the UK release date is August 3.

“We’re excited to take Pro Evolution Soccer back to its roots, which is all about freedom and control.” said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 is created, in part, by the vocal PES community, and with them, along with some new faces within the development team, we’re bringing in new features and gameplay mechanics that will invigorate the soccer community as a whole.”

Player ID focuses on individual characteristics and movements, including:
Player individuality: You’ll instantly recognise the very best players through their signature attributes, skills and tricks as well as the way the run, turn and move the ball. run, turn, trap and move the ball, shape to shoot, and even celebrate will be noticeably different during play.

With Diablo 3’s release nearing, developer Bigpoint would like present an admittedly biased feature comparison for their free-to-play MMORPG Drakensang Online. Blizzard has created a well-known franchise with the Diablo series and expects a large volume of consumers for the upcoming title. On the other hand, Drakensang Online has been available for merely 8 months and has attained over five millions users. So here is the comparison breakdown:
While Drakensang Online is yet in its open beta, the browser-based title has garnered a lot of attention and resembles Diablo 3 gameplay far too well. Blizzard, you just won yourself a new rival! Play Drakensang Online today for FREE to see the ridiculous similarities.
In Neptunia V the main heroine, Neptune/Purple Heart, has been sent through time back into the 1980s. In the ’80s a different CPU is in charge of watching over Planeptune and her name is Pururut, though the scans from Dengeki PlayStation, seen above, show that she doesn’t appear all that different from Neptune herself.
Dengeki PlayStation contained a number of other details about the game, such as Pururut’s CPU form being called Iris Heart. Also revealed is that Neptunia V will continue to use 2D portrait art styles in conversations which will feature an enhanced Active Animation System, which makes these portraits more lifelike via breathing animations and small movements. Currently no gameplay footage has been released, though Neptunia V is set for release in Japan sometime this Summer.
Recently reported on Andriasang is the next Shin Megami Tensei title, this time for the Nintendo 3DS handheld. This new title is not so much a brand new entry in the franchise, but is instead an updated port of one of the more popular entries in this long running franchise, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.
The game was originally released for the Sega Saturn back in 1997, followed later by a PlayStation port, but in Japan only. Devil Summoner: Soul Hacker is part of the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner sub-series. This latest port for the Nintendo 3DS is set to feature new animated cut scenes, voice acting, as well as improved animation and presentation.
Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers is set to release for the Japanese 3DS on 30 August 2012.
Another piece of information was revealed by Dengeki PlayStation this week and that is a exact release date for the next Hatsune Miku game. To make it even better, the title will be available on the PlayStation Vita when it is released August 30th.
Now the question for this is… with the popularity of the Vita in North America, will we finally see a Hatsune Miku title be released here? Probably not, but then again everyone could start asking Sega to see if they would be willing to bring the title over. English subtitles would truly be all that is required for fans to be pleased.
Surge Concerto: Ciel no Surge will be released in Japan in only a few days and to help sway over a few gamers before the title is released both Gust and 4Gamer have teamed up to release a ten minute trailer featuring plenty of gameplay… though good luck understanding practically anything what is happening.
The trailer contains what looks like the game’s opening and then switches to Ion and the player interacting with her. Catch the trailer below and hope that someone localizes it for North American release. Perhaps a full English dub wouldn’t be possible but at last English subtitles would make for a satisfactory release.
