One of the PS Vita’s many launch titles is Square Enix’s Army Corps of Hell: a wonderfully mad cap looking game that looks like Pikmin fell into the depths of the underworld and grabbed itself some death metal on the way down.

A new trailer has just been released to give you a rundown of all the characters and options that will be available to you – the King of Hell – when trying to reclaim your kingdom. Building an army of goblins is no easy feat, and Army Corps of Hell comes complete with three different classes of henchmen – Soldiers, Magi and Spearmen. Each class will have it’s own unique attacks and strategies to take on the demonic hordes that stand in the way of the King.

So what about the customization? Well that’s for the main man himself, who along with his goblin minions can be upgraded with some of the 100 different weapons and pieces of armor that players will be able to forge.

Check out the trailer below.

If you’re a big fan of Trine 2 or fancy yourself a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to game soundtracks, Frozenbyte have just the thing for you. Following on from the release of Trine 2 comes the special edition soundtrack. Composed by Ari Pulkkinen (if you’re one of the millions of Angry Birds players out there you’ll know his work, or perhaps from Super Stardust HD) it can be downloaded from iTunes or the composer’s own website: www.aritunes.com

The $11.99 download includes all 21 tracks from the game and two brand new versions recorded with the Brandenburg State Orchestra. The Steam Special Edition of Trine 2 also comes complete with the soundtrack, but misses out on the two bonus recordings.

The man himself had this to say about the release:

“Finally!”, said composer Ari Pulkkinen. “I’m very proud of the music for Trine and Trine 2; the beautiful and heartwarming fantasy world of Trine really inspired me to compose these lively soundtracks, and I’m really glad they can now reach a wider audience as separate albums.

For this special moment I also wanted to create orchestrated versions of the Trine 2 Main Theme and the Trailer Theme, and they sound absolutely fantastic!”

This is the first iTunes release for both Frozenbyte and the composer,so make sure and check out the Main Theme for Trine 2 in the video below for a taster of what’s on offer.

Here is some surprising news. In a recent chart by ERA (via MCV), it was revealed that singer Adele sold more of her album “21” than than Modern Warfare 3 sold altogether in the U.K. This is quite a feat for the young artist who has made quite a name for herself over the past year and if anything could topple COD’s reign, it is a bit pleasing to see that Adele was the victor.

Ranked under Modern Warfare 3’s 2nd place position is Fifa 12, Battlefield 3, Zumba Fitness, and Skyrim. Of course this chart (which can be seen below) represents the entertainment industry as a whole, and there is no doubt that COD raked in the most cash for the region. I however still find it a bit sad that “Paul” would be anywhere above The Elder Scrolls on any list.

1. 21 – Adele – 3,924,985 – Album
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – 2,814,609 – Game

A Wise Tortoise will be your guide in Dragon Quest X

The Dragon Quest series is known for it’s off-beat and charming cast of characters, and Dragon Quest X is looking to keep that trend going. Starting out, the player meets up with a tortoise deity by the name of Kame-sama in the human ran Etene Village.

Kame-Same soon tells the inhabitants that the main hero is heaven-sent, and then leads you to the statues that represent the five tribes in Dragon Quest X. Yes, by the looks of it, this is where the game will start and as usual, this title looks to have quite an interesting beginning. We are still a ways off from DQX’s official release, but stay tuned as once more information rises, we will be sure to keep you covered.

Ankama’s freemium MMO Wakfu is gearing up for a release in February, and to hold you over, a new developer diary has been released to give us all a better look at what’s inside. This clip has Game Designer “Azael” and Community Manager “Zidrune” of Ankama give a run-down on the freedom players will be given in this anticipated title.

From the economy system to the creation of kamas (Wakfu’s currency system), there is quite a bit explained in the clip if you don’t mind reading through some subtitles. At the moment, I am rather impressed with the easy-on-the-eyes art style presented though, as it seems like a brilliant move to go with a timeless design that is sure to run great on all PCs. Check out the video in full below, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for Wakfu when it launches next month.

Nintendo adds new game line-up to Club Nintendo…

Last month, Nintendo pulled the brilliant move of including downloadable digital releases in the Club Nintendo catalog. As promised, those four titles are long gone, and a new selection has risen to take their place.

First up is the clear winner of the four, with that being The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. To make the deal even better, you can download the N64 greatness straight to your Wii for just 150 coins.

Dr. Mario fans, you also have a lot to pick from as well. For Wii owners, you can snag up Dr. Mario Online for just 100 coins. If you are looking for a pill to swallow on the go however, Nintendo have also added Dr. Mario Express to the 3DS downloads at 150 coins.

Wrapping things up is the game that started it all. Made for the 3DS Virtual Console, Kirby’s Dream Land is being offered for fans of the pink fluff, and only for 100 coins.

Quite a decent array here, if I do say so myself. Now, to decide between them all (*cough*forgodsakesit’szelda*cough*).

Run Roo Run out now on the iOS

5th Cell Games known for their Scribblenauts series have released a new game that is essentially the opposite of Scribblenauts but in the best possible way. While Scribblenauts focused on allowing players to practically do anything, their latest offering, Run Roo Run, allows players to do only one thing – Jump.

Such a simple concept, works wonders on the iOS and looks to potentially be the best new iOS release in a long time. The game takes a familiar concept (the one touch control method) places it into a unique environment (Australia), adds a truckload of charm and polishes it to casual gaming perfection.

You can pick up Run Roo Run on the iTunes app store for a mere 99 cents here. Be to pick up the title as well as check out the trailer for Run Roo Run below.
