Toki Tori is a ten year old puzzle game that is still going strong. First released on the Game Boy Colour, it has since seen releases on iOS, PC, Android and WiiWare. Come November 16 the European PSN will finally get in on the often tricky puzzle action that sees young chick Toki Tori tracking down the lost eggs of his unborn brothers and sisters. The cute little guy has access to a surprising array of weapons and gadgets including the Slug Sucker, Telewarp and freeze gun – he’s one well equipped chick.

Not ones to slack on effort, developers Two Tribes have even added 16 brand new levels, PlayStation Move support and full HD/3D compatibility – no worries about getting a Game Boy Colour port here! For €7.99 / £6.29, gamers will be able to challenge themselves with over 90 levels, but can score a copy of the game for free from publishers Playlogic Games. How?

Head on over to Twitter, follow PlaylogicGames and tweet using #TokiToriPS3 why you should win one of ten copies of the game.

Winners will be announced on the official launch date of November 16, and remember to look out for a review of Toki’s latest adventure here on Capsule Computers.

Sonic Generations launch trailer

With Sonic Generations hitting shelves in North America and loitering in game retailer backrooms across Australia and Europe, Sega have released a new launch trailer to hook in those undecided fans. The latest title featuring the speedy blue one has been looking impressive for a while now, so can it be the game to bring Sonic back to his heyday? Anyone in America already has the chance to find out, whilst Europe has to hold off until November 4 and Australia November 3.

In the trailer we get a glimpse of everything – modern sonic, classic sonic (the two coexist thanks to a ‘mysterious force’ that has a penchant for blue hedgehogs) and that strangely iconic checkered jungle. It’s a neat little introduction if you’ve missed out on previous coverage of the game, and fans of the series will no doubt spot a few familiar locales.

Generations is also getting a 3DS release which will follow on from the PS3, PC and Xbox 360 versions on November 22 in North America, November 25 in Europe, and November 24 in Australia.

If there is one thing you can count on in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, besides killing thousands of zombies with a variety of weapons and various tools, is the relatively decent stream of costume packs released by Capcom. This package allows Frank to gain the skills of a master BBQ Chef and provide him with not only an outfit fit for any backyard BBQ, but new skills as well.

While wearing the outfit, Frank will gain more health from grilled foods like BBQ chicken, ribs and hamburgers. He will gain new attacks with the chef knife and meat cleaver, make bigger explosions and he can now wield Ketchup and Mustard with deadly efficiently. The package will cost $1.99 or 160 MSP for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively.

Dr. Pepper fans can rejoice! Their favorite mutli-flavored soda pop of choice can now earn them free content for Battlefield 3. Announced earlier today Dr Pepper and EA have teamed up to provide a Battlefield 3 promotion that allow drinkers of Dr Pepper to enter in a code at the Dr Pepper website and redeem themselves some free multiplayer content.

The content available for Battlefield 3 is a multiplayer skin as well as a PS Home Avatar, but the true highlights are the dog tags that you can obtain. The dog tags seen above, as compiled by Shack News, are able to be redeemed one at a time through each code you find. Internet goers may notice that a number of these tags feature various internet memes. Can you guess which ones? Unfortunately for international viewers, the promotion only runs for United States residents.

With such a massive undertaking that was the creation of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it only comes to reason that the developers would want to give us a little bit of a peak at what they had to do to create the title. Of course those who purchase the Collector’s Edition of Skyrim will be able to see the full documentary which is named ‘Behind the Wall: The Making of Skyrim’

Until the title comes out in ten days however, Bethesda has released a few minutes of the documentary in the below trailer. In it we see interviews with a number of the Bethesda Game Studios team as well as plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and gameplay. Perhaps now is the time to run out to your video game retailer of choice and drop some money on a pre-order because November 11th is coming fast.

A little while ago, Sony revealed that they would be releasing a brand new revamped version of PlayStation Home for everyone to enjoy. Today they have released a little introduction video to welcome everyone into the new PlayStation Home as well as introduce a number of new features that have been added in.

You can check out the full video below. Now the current PlayStation Home has not been updated as of yet, so if you were to sign on at the moment none of these new neat features would be available on there, though if you are a regular of the service then you probably couldn’t care less. Still, it is nice to see what fans can expect when it does become available sometime in the future.

Yesterday it was revealed that Konami is planning on releasing a limited edition version of tri-Ace’s upcoming 3DS dungeon RPG Beyond the Labyrinth. Part of the limited edition included a soundtrack from the relatively famous composer Motoi Sakuraba. Today Konami’s Japanese website for the title placed a few sample songs on the site for potential buyers to listen to.

You can find the songs here. The site is in full Japanese though the songs should be easy to find. Ten were made available at the moment, though those who purchase the limited edition in Japan will receive the full disc. With Konami’s release of Otomedius Excellent this week, including a limited edition package, it provides some hope that Beyond the Labyrinth will not only be localized, but even the limited edition may be released in the West as well.

It has been a little bit since XSEED Games revealed that they would be localizing a unique title for the PlayStation Portable. That unique title was Corpse Party, a horror game that uses 2D sprites for visuals and looked like it would be an actual terrifying experience. Well yesterday for Halloween XSEED decided that they should take advantage of the holiday and release a new trailer for Corpse Party which you can see below.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this game will scare the hell out of most people. The story of Corpse Party follows a group of Kisaragi Academy High School students who are trapped in an elementary school full of the tortured souls of children who have died in the past. Some so recently that they may only have been dead for a couple of days… Corpse Party is aiming to be released on the PlayStation Store in November.

Those expecting to pick up Gears of War 3’s first piece of legitimate DLC will be disappointed to find out that the Horde Command Pack has suffered a temporary delay. Epic Games announced the issue to its fans on their forums saying that it was due to a “technical issue” that the package was postponed till a later date.

The statement read “We have folks working around the clock to resolve this issue ASAP so you can all play and enjoy the Command Pack. The Epic Games Community team will stick around and keep you posted with any further information.” Let’s hope that the delay does not last too long, y’know how fans (MasterAbbott) get when they need to wait for Gears of War content.

After recently visiting the Armageddon Expo in Melbourne, I was amazed in looking in the commitment that cosplayer showed when the put on their costumes. Those convention hall are very sweaty, sticky and crowded, so wearing a floor length leather coat with a keyblade would be exceptionally uncomfortable.  Yet they look so good!

These finalists will compete for the title of Australias Best Cosplayer and win the coverted first prize – a trip to Tokyo, Japan. The home of Cosplay!

For the first time, the championship will form the centre piece of a full scale Supanova Expo Event. The grand final will kick off at 1:30pm at the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane and will be broadcast live  from 1:45pm QST (2:45pm ESDT, 11:45am WST) online exclusively at www.madman.com.au/cosplay .
