New Game of Thrones Screenshots Discover Castlewood

The Game of Thrones RPG is creeping ever closer, with the game coming to the world just a month after the April 1 beginning of the HBO TV shows highly anticipated second season. Given that the game follows the adventures of two new characters, it makes sense that there are a couple of entirely new locations  too, towns and villages which have somehow managed to go unmentioned in the course of six highly detailed novels…

That aside these screenshots recently released showcase the new location of Castlewood, home to the House Harlton. A supporter of the Targaryens during the rebellion of Robert Baratheon, the head of the family was executed by the victorious rebel king, leaving a brother conveniently loyal to Baratheon in his stead. One of the two playable characters has strong ties with the Harlton family, and Alester Sarwyck will use Castlewood as a safe haven in the course of his quest.

That said, the screenshots show plenty of less than friendly action from the Harlton’s. there’s torture afoot, sword fights in bedrooms, and Red Priest Alester Sardwyck is probably not having a playfight with those green clad Harlton soldiers. So has someone taken over the family home? Or have the Harlton’s decided that their loyalties lie elsewhere? And who owns that curiously textured snub nosed dog?

After a fairly disastrous entry into the gaming universe with Game of Thrones Genesis, fingers everywhere are firmly crossed in the hope of this RPG hitting the mark. The release date still remains a bit vague, but Song of Ice and Fire fans will discover for themselves the quality of the game come May 2012.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Interview with Gabe Amatangelo

Gabe Amatangelo is the lead PvP designer of Bioware’s online hit Star Wars: The Old Republic. With the Australian and Oceanic official release of the critically acclaimed MMORPG, a few very lucky members of the Capsule Computers team had the opportunity to meet with Gabe at a media launch event in Sydney. After a media presentation that introduced the game, community and changes since the initial US and European launch, we found ourselves extremely lucky to get to chat with Gabe in a private interview.

In our discussion, we covered the initial goals of the project, and what sort of game the design team had hoped to create. Gabe brought up the idea of evolving a genre rather than revolutionizing it, which allowed them to create a new MMO experience while still sticking to the roots of the genre. We also spoke about the development process, future direction, and the question had to be asked “Where DID the idea for HUTTBALL come from?!” Be sure to check out the interview for yourselves!

Silent Hill HD Collection slips backwards to March 20th release

Those hoping to pick up the Silent Hill HD Collection next week will be disappointed to learn that Konami has chosen to push the title back a couple of weeks and is now planing on releasing the HD bundle of Silent Hill 2 and 3 on March 20th in North America.

I mean, in all fairness this is understandable considering the original March 6th release date of the Silent Hill HD Collection would have put it in direct competition with Mass Effect 3, which would unfortunately be a losing battle for the company. Then again, the Silent Hill HD Collection has been delayed a few times already so perhaps it is for a different reason altogether? Either way, fans can still expect a March month full of Silent Hill as Silent Hill Downpour comes out March 13th, Silent Hill HD Collection on the 20th and Silent Hill: Book of Memories on the 27th for the Vita.

Those worried about the anemic release line-up for the PlayStation Vita a few months down the line will be glad to hear that Sony has confirmed that they are about to reveal a slew of brand new unannounced Vita games within a few days.

To be more specific, Andriasang has discovered a webcast by Sony that will begin on March 9th and said broadcast is being called PlayStation Vita Game Heaven. The webcast will feature news about upcoming games and services for the handheld and they are even giving away twenty systems to viewers, though you will likely need to live in Japan to win. Any guesses on possible Vita games we will see announced on March 9th?

Simpsons fans have always been eager to see another video game dedicated to their favorite comedy. While the wait has indeed been a long one, there is now a brand new Simpsons game on the market… I’m speaking of course about EA’s The Simpsons: Tapped Out, a game available on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a free game that has content that can be purchased in-game for real life money. Before you think that this is a simple cop out game, you better check what is in the donuts you are eating, because the app has been written and produced by the same writers and animators who handle the TV series. They even provided never before seen animated scenes and other areas of Springfield specifically for this game. You can catch the trailer for the app below or download it with iTunes here.

While Activision hasn’t said a single word about a Black Ops 2, we know that there is of course going to be another release in the series. So much so in fact that the game has already seen plenty of publicity from various listings appearing all over the internet at retailer websites.

Now of course, we have a Spanish retailer named Fnac who has nailed a release date on Black Ops 2, and that release date is sometime in November, which is sort of expected already as that is the biggest release window of the whole year. Now while this is not a confirmation that the game exists, it pretty much does is a certainty at this point…

Rather than let rumors circulate about their upcoming Assassin’s Creed title and keep their fans guessing, Ubisoft has decided that the best way to announce the setting of Assassin’s Creed III is simply to upload the box art for the upcoming title to Facebook.

As you can see to the right, Assassin’s Creed III will take place during the American Revolution as you can clearly see the British and American soldiers fighting in the background and the old American flag waving as the yet un-named assassin prepares to take an axe to a British soldier. Ubisoft will be releasing more details on Monday so keep an eye out for more information at that time.
