Syndicate co-op demo landing at the end of January

Well, you could be a bit more vague with your demo announce time but considering the fact that EA’s Syndicate is scheduled to be released on February 21 in North America, Febraury 24 in Europe and never in Australia it’s always good to try and land the demo a few weeks before the game is released.

EA has revealed that they will be releasing a four-player co-op demo onto the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime at “the end of January” and it will only be available for “a limited time.” In the demo players will have access to one of Syndicate’s nine co-op missions and players will work to assassinate Cayman Global’s “Colonel Enrico Gabron” and steal his blueprints after infiltrating the building. Check out the trailer below for more info.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir coming to North America in April

Good news fans of scary games, Nintendo of America is planning on bringing the portable spin-off to the Fatal Frame series, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, to North America on April 13. This news is a bit surprising considering Nintendo of America chose not to release the Wii’s Fatal Frame 4 in the West, but good news nonetheless.

Spirit Camera is being co-developed by Tecmo Koei and Nintendo and will feature players using the 3DS’ virtual camera to help out a girl named Maya. The title will come with a 16 page “AR Book” which will be used to help display various things in the game including enemies that “ill emerge from the pages into the player’s world via augmented reality in the form of evil spirits that attack from all directions.” If that isn’t going to scare some people I don’t know what will.

Today Capcom has revealed a number of characters that will be joining the ranks of Street Fighter X Tekken courtesy of two trailers which can be seen below.

Balrog, Juri, Vega, Paul, Law, and Xiaoyu are all included in these trailers with their official reveals, despite a few of their reveals being spoiled earlier by leaked images of the game. Now something else to take note of is the PlayStation Vita development announcement in the gameplay trailer. At the end of the trailer it reveals two character silhouettes, one which looks like a strange type of Mega Man and another that looks like Pac-Man…

Galaxy on Fire 2 goes Supernova

Galaxy on Fire 2 – Supernova has been announced, giving a second add-on to the super popular sci-fi saga. Galaxy on Fire follows badass space adventurer and mercenary Keith T. Maxwell resident ass-kicker and name-taker.

Supernova will start where the first add-on Valkyrie ended, however the foxus will shift so that it is more on the struggle between the Nivelian Republic and Midorian Confederation. You will have to face a vast range of challenges and new missions to take on with Mr Maxwell, so strap yourselves in!

Fishlabs CEO Michael Schade had the following to say about Galaxy on Fire 2 – Supernova:

Supernova will not only be more cinematic and more varied, but also at least twice as long as Valkyrie. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into the writing of the complex new storyline, which includes a lot of new mission types and makes for a truly outstanding gaming experience. But also the graphics and the sound design will be absolutely top-notch! When it comes to Supernova, the name really is the game!

Galaxy on Fire 2 – Supernova is set to be released in the second quarter of 2012 on the iPhone, iPad and iTouch. Make sure to keep tuned to Capsule Computers for any new information on the add-on, what to expect, and if it’s going to live up to the previous installments.
