South Park: The Game’s final character class is the Jew

Any South Park fan should know that the series has quite a repertoire for making multiple jokes about the Jewish People, mostly from the mouth of Eric Cartman. When the classes of Obsidian’s South Park: The Game were revealed last week there was one mystery class left which was supposed to be one thought up by Eric Cartman himself. So, quite surprisingly… but maybe not as much as it should be, the final and fifth class of the game is the Jew. The Jew rounds out the other classes of Paladin, Wizard, Rogue, and Adventurer.

Game Informer found out this information through an interview with Matt Maclean, lead designer of the title who explains to the company that the Jew class will be a “high risk, high reward” class and will be strongest when closer to death. Sounds like classic South Park to me.

New Pokémon title to be revealed in January

We all knew that it was only a matter of time, and it seems that the time has come. This month’s issue of CoroCoro magazine has been released in Japan and the Pokémon oriented site Serebii.net has obtained an issue and is reporting that the magazine mentions that a brand new Pokémon title will be revealed in the January issue of the magazine.

The magazine will be published on January 14, 2012 and it seems that we will have to wait until then for any inkling as to what the game could possibly be as the magazine gives no hints about what type of Pokémon title it could be. What do you think they could be announcing? Another spin-off title or maybe another full sized Pokémon title like Pokémon Gray?

Sega has revealed today that they have entered into a partnership with Production I.G. to create an anime adaptation for Shining Hearts, a PlayStation Portable title which was released in December 2010. The anime adaptation is set to air next year during the Spring season.

Only a few characters and their voice actors have currently been revealed, with main character Rick voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya, Amil by Kanae Itou, Neris by Mai Aizawa and Airy by Shiori Mikami. It is certainly great to see this title getting an anime adaptation, but now Sega has to focus on bringing the actual PSP game to the West and everyone can be happy, even if it would only be a digital download version of the title.

While Naughty Dog may have just revealed their post-apocalyptic survival title, The Last of Us, this last weekend, they have released a handful of pieces of artwork for the title today. You can see the images below, which mostly consist of footage that was seen during the reveal trailer but they are still worth a glance. What is interesting to see here are the new pieces of artwork such as the above image showing the two main characters outside in the world rather than in a dilapidated building. This title looks quite interesting and shows a heck of a lot of promise, color me interested. What do you think?

Capcom Digital Collection announced with multitude of XBLA titles included

With many video games, it usually benefits the consumer to wait a little bit before buying the title with most first runs of a game containing bugs that need to be patched or DLC to be released. Then usually the company will release a GotY edition or, in Capcom’s case, a special edition with a few new features for full price.

This time however Capcom has chosen to create something a bit new, and that is create a collection of a multitude of digital releases. The publisher has revealed that they will be releasing the collection as the Capcom Digital Collection and it is expected to be released next Spring. The Xbox 360 exclusive will contain 1942: Joint Strike, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, Final Fight: Double Impact, Flock!, Rocketmen: Axis of Evil with “It Came from Uranus” DLC, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3. Quite an amazing package if I say so myself.

5000 day bans issued in Modern Warfare 3

Well, it seems like Infinity Ward really doesn’t want anyone cheating or even performing various bad things in Modern Warfare 3. You know… besides shooting each other. Infinity Ward has recently revealed, as discovered by MP1st, that they have been recently levying 5000 day long bans against offensive and offending Modern Warfare 3 players.

These are pretty much permbans, as 5000 days equals out to 13 and a half years. Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward Robert Bowling himself said that if you see the above message “it means you’ve been Permabanned (for something bad).” Seems like the best way to deal with cheaters and offensive players is to simply remove them permanently from the game. I can dig it.

Alan Wake to be released on PC early 2012

Despite the fact that Alan Wake may have been released a couple of years ago now, it seems that Remedy has finally gotten around to making a PC port of the title. This comes as rather surprising news as it was originally stated quite some time ago that there was no plan for a PC version of the title in the works. Of course, times change and with the release of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare coming sometime next year on the XBLA, this is the best time to push the Alan Wake franchise.

PC gamers can expect to see Alan Wake on the PC sometime early 2012 and the DLC add-ons The Signal and The Writer are going to be bundled with the PC version free of charge. No price has been announced yet, but whatever price it is, it won’t be enough to steer me away from picking up this amazing story once again.

While some rental companies such as GameFly and BlockBuster have been distributing rentals for the quite a few years now, the simple to use Redbox system had just begun offering game rentals this year. To commemorate the first finished year of their kiosk video game renting system, the company has revealed what games have earned thm the most money. Actually, I meant to say which ones have been rented the most from their kiosks this year.

You can see the full list of their top ten rentals below topped off by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Just Dance 3 and Dead Island. It is interesting to see that three of the top 10 rentals have only been out for a month, meaning that those Redbox kiosks must have been packed with those titles in anticipation.

It’s Showtime for the Sims! New acrobatic screenshots

Welcome to the Sims 3 Showtime, the sixth expansion pack for EA’s the Sims 3. As you would guess, Showtime is all about getting your Sims up on stage and performing for the masses, whether as a DJ, musician, singer or acrobat. Performance happy Sims will be able to jet off to the new neighborhood of Starlight Shores, which is packed with all sorts of clubs and venues to let Sims test out their new skills.

Will your Sim rise to fame or make an idiot of themselves? Let’s face it, it’ll probably be messy for a while.

EA have just release a couple of new screenshots for the acrobat performer path, showing off some of the different venues and tricks. Want to juggle fire whilst a harlequin bear looks on? Or how about balancing on a ball in an ice cream obsessed world? Now you, via your customised bundles of pixels, can do that. No doubt there will be plenty of chances for some Sim style disasters, and with the new social options in the pack, you can even post the evidence to a ‘social wall’ or send your Sims to another players game for a gig or two.

The Sims 3 Showtime will be released on March 6 2012.
