Here’s the quick list: KINECT Joy Ride, Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012, NHL 12, X-Blades, and Dead Rising 2 – Off the Record. Coincidentally, the on-demand release of X-Blades occurred just slightly after its non-linear sequel Blades of Time hit the shelves in March. Gaijin Entertainment is certainly propelling the hype of these titles, and to enhance their position please check out our Blades of Time Review.

The authorities have caught up with me now, so I must bid you all adieu (the fiancee caught me on the computer again!) Thank you once again for reading, and always remember “Play Hard or Don’t Play at All!”

Red vs Blue Remember Halo 4 Release Date

Halo 4’s announcement at E3 last year was no surprise. Also unsurprising is the release date of November 6, 2012, alongside the yearly iterations of the Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed franchises. This year’s crazy pre-Christmas period will be especially crazy, methinks.

Anyway, Rooster Teeth and Microsoft today announced the release date of the so-called-fourth-but-really-the-seventh entry into the Halo series via a new Red vs Blue short. Even if you don’t care about Halo, the video itself is entertaining enough to warrant a watch. If only all announcements could be this much fun.

Just remember: “Forget about remembering, and focus on not forgetting.”

New Worms Revolution Art

The Worms Facebook page has been a hive of activity lately. All this week, new images of the upcoming game, Worms: Revolution, have been posted, and we gotta say, it’s looking damn pretty.

We already know the new game will feature classic 2D Worms gameplay with 3D-rendered graphics and improved physics, and these images show off how that 3D works. So far, we’ve had looks at the Garden and Beach settings, with images from the Farm and Sewer themes coming later this week.

The game looks nice, but unless there are some gameplay changes, calling it a “Revolution” feels like a bit of a stretch. Perhaps Worms: Tarted Up is a more appropriate title. Either way, I’m still keen.

If you were upset that you could only use one weapon in Ninja Gaiden 3, then perhaps you may want to pick up the latest DLC that was released for the game today, entirely free. Amongst a slew of other paid-DLC releases, a Ninja Pack 1 Lite DLC was released that costs absolutely nothing and adds the Eclipse Scythe as a weapon in story mode. Also added in this package is a free multiplayer stage.

The free DLC will be automatically downloaded for the PlayStation 3 version of the game and the Xbox 360 version of the DLC can be downloaded here. You can see what the scythe will look like in action, as well as some paid-DLC, in the trailer below.

Revenge solves everything in Dishonored’s debut trailer

You remember the above image that was released yesterday? Everyone may have wanted it to be some information about Skyrim DLC, but it turns out that it is actually the first trailer for Bethesda’s Dishonored. We’ve seen plenty of screenshots but this fancy CG trailer is the first time we’ve ever seen anything in motion.

The video sets Dishonored’s plot in a dystopian steampunk society where the main character has been betrayed and thrown in jail for a murder he did not commit. A strange man appears and gives him supernatural powers and a chance to seek his revenge. Currently Dishonored is set to be released sometime in 2012 though when it is released it will be available for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Diablo III: The Order novel to release alongside Diablo III the game

Video game franchises can sometimes make for the best reading material when they are translated into book form. This experience is heightened further when it is an original novel that expands upon the game’s universe. This is the case with an upcoming Diablo 3 novel which is set to be released the same day as the game itself on May 15th.

The book itself is called Diablo 3: The Order and it is written by Nate Kenyon. The story will follow Deckard Cain on his search for other members of the Horadrim as well as an eight year old girl who has become cursed. The book is currently up for pre-order on Amazon, and please order the actual physical form because nothing beats the feel of a good book in your hands.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors English trailer released

Today Namco Bandai released the below trailer for One Piece: Pirate Warriors, previously known as One Piece Kaizoku Musou. In this trailer we see plenty of non-localized footage alongside English descriptions of the game. The game is still remaining a PlayStation 3 exclusive when it is released in North America and Europe sometime in November of this year.

It is worth noting that One Piece: Pirate Warriors was the fastest selling One Piece game of all time in Japan. In the press release released today from Namco Bandai they describe the game as “an exhilarating action game in which players control the straw hat crew to defeat surrounding pirates and navy.” Currently there is still no news as to whether or not the game will be given a full English dub or if it will be released with only the Japanese voice over.

Latest Ciel no Surge video revaels Ion’s room

Although Ciel no Surge is going to be released in Japan on April 26th, there are still plenty of different mysteries about the game, the biggest of which is whether or not the game will be brought overseas to North America. Unfortunately there is still no news as far as that little piece of information is concerned, but a video released today gives us a peak at some gameplay.

In the clip seen below viewers will see inside of Ion’s room where players will interact with her as she lives her daily life, creates items and tries to restore her memories. It is worth noting that some game events are tied to the Vita’s in-game clock so players can synch various events to different times. While not exceptionally action packed, Ciel no Surge looks like it will offer the most unique Vita experience gamers can find, to bad at the moment the only place it will be found is in Japan.
