‘Play Together Better’ With Call Of Duty: Elite

With the Modern Warfare 3 hype finally dying down, Activision has now turned to the new service Call of Duty: Elite. To further emphasize how important it is for players to actually have this particular service, they have release a new trailer, which you can watch below. It shows off some of the features of the application and identifies that everyone has a different playing style online. Players can play for real prizes, choose who they want to play with and more. Elite subscribers will also have early access to map packs as well as exclusive DLC.

Call of Duty Elite, however, has hit massive bumps since its integration this year. It has gotten to a point where most users can not access the service due to demand. Activision did extend subscriptions for 30 days and noted that both free and premium services should be fully functional by December 1. Call of Duty: Elite is accessible on most devices.

Playstation 3D Monitor Delayed To 2012 In Europe

0

While the United States enjoyed the release of the Playstation 3D monitor recently, those in Europe will have to wait for quite a while, according to Eurogamer. The Playstation 3D Monitor has been pushed back to next year with no exact release date revealed. No explanation has been given by Sony on why the monitor has been delayed.

Since this is a European delay, this will also affect both Australia and New Zealand. Actually, there hasn’t been word of the 3D display in Australia since it was revealed that it was to be released in this period. It is coming to Australia, but when? I don’t have the answer to that. I hope we do get that, as well as the European release date of this 3D monitor, very soon.

Those hoping to hear that the light novel series Hagure Yūsha no Estetika by Tetsuto Uesu would be given an anime adaptation sometime in the future will be glad to hear that it actually is. A fold out poster which was obtained by Japanese website 0taku reveals that the light novel series will be getting an anime adaptation sometime in the near future.

Unfortunately more details were not given, but considering the light novels themselves are going on their seventh volume there is a ton of content to draw from. The story of Hagure Yūsha no Estetika follows an organization named Babel where a hero from an alternate world and the devil’s own daughter fight various battles as allies between worlds.

A good anime can only go on so long and with the fourth season of Zero no Tsukaima we are seeing the final season of the series. Titled Zero No Tsukaima F, this series will bring a close to the entire storyline, hopefully with a satisfying conclusion. But since its announcement, people have wondered when exactly they could see the series airing, especially those in Japan.

It was revealed on the anime’s official website that the show will begin airing on AT-X on January 7th. The series will continue to be animated by Gecno and JC Staff as well. Currently no company has picked up the rights to the Zero No Tsukaima series in the West, however the series is likely to be simulcasted by Crunchyroll soon after airing.

Resident Evil 6 appears on veteran voice actor’s credit list

1

While there are a few Resident Evil titles on the way, there has been no announcement about an actual continuation in the game’s main storyline since the release of Resident Evil 5. However that may all be changing as Capcom’s headline series may be getting a numbered sequel as Resident Evil 6 is now rumored to be alive.

The rumors come from the fact that veteran voice actor Joe Cappelletti’s credit page showed Resident Evil 6 as one of the titles he has worked on. This includes many recent titles and a number of other Capcom owned titles. Since then the listing was removed, but the question here is that there are no other titles even close to Resident Evil 6 on his page, so perhaps his reveal was a bit too early for Capcom’s tastes? Though the misspelling of Modern Warfare 3 could lead to some doubts…

Dragon Quest Slime Meat Buns created, best thing ever

Dragon Quest lovers should know that this year is the 25th anniversary of the series, and some Family Mart locations in Japan have decided to celebrate in their own little way. A few of these stores have already begun selling them and if you are in Japan you best hurry to one of these stores as the company is only creating a million of these delicious looking fellows.

As you can see above and in in the video below, the convenience store chain has created these Slime Meat Buns from Dragon Quest. The meat buns themselves will run at 170 yen which is roughly $2 in American. Now while some of us can’t pick these guys up at all, we can be envious of those who can while we watch this video below of them being eaten.

Famitsu gives Skyrim the first ever perfect score for a Western game

Let’s face it, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive title and one of the best games that most people have had a chance to play in many years. Quite a few members of our own site have fallen into the world that Skyrim creates and have had difficulty extracting themselves to still acknowledge this world called Earth.

It seems that even one of the stricter publications in Japan even loves Skyrim. The magazine Famitsu provides review scores for both Western and Japanese games and this is the first time in the publication’s 25 year history that they have ever given a Western developed title a 40/40, or a perfect score. This also puts Skyrim as one of only 17 titles to ever receive the honor. Bravo Bethesda… bravo.
