Sales figures of EA Games’ Battlefield 3 have been released today, and certainly there was no doubting that this game would be a huge seller. Within a week of Battlefield 3’s initial worldwide release, the game has sold over 5 million units across three different platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC/Mac. The game has become EA game’s fastest selling game in history.

To top off all of their zombie themed Halloween announcements, Capcom has revealed a new trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. So far today we’ve seen news about a Raid Mode in Resident Evil: Revelations, as well as a new HD bundle that will be released on the PlayStation 3 with move capability.

But here is a bit of news for those who want to see something a bit different in their next Resident Evil game. Capcom has released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City and in it we are treated to our dear old friend the Nemesis from Resident Evil 2. Besides him we also see Claire and Leon working together to try and hold off the Umbrella forces. Too bad that the players are on the other side of the team this time around. Check out the video below.

In this segment of Capsule Theatre of Vision; we look closely at the streets of Sydney. The date was Saturday the 29th of October and Zombies had invaded the land. I had the priviledge of survivng this apocalyptic event; I even went so far as to film a small segment of footage so that the world could know of the peril that our great city was in.

The event was really organised by a group of young adults over Facebook and featured an incredibly large turn-out. Probably the most people I’ve ever seen marching. It’s amazing that so much effort was put into this and all the costumes were fantastic!

So be sure to check out the invasion below.

Beyond the Labyrinth may feature Augmented Reality

Konami and developer tri-Ace have been working on quite a unique 3DS RPG named Beyond the Labyrinth, and while there have only been a few details released so far, one new piece of information lends credence to the possibility of augmented reality being possible within the title. Most titles for the Nintendo 3DS do not take advantage of this feature, so this would be a big plus for the title.

While not announced for the game itself, a limited edition bundle has been announced for Japan and will feature an AR calendar that will let players view a girl in different costumes through the 3DS’ cameras. The girl, whom we can presume to be the white haired one that leads you through the labyrinth, will then rise from the paper above the marker.

Besides the Ar Calendar, the bundle will include the game of course, a soundtrack CD, a poster and a cleaning cloth that will run around 9,315 yen. The game itself has not been announced for localization at this time, but if it does, hopefully this bundle will arrive Stateside as well.

Save data can be reset in Resident Evil: Revelations

Earlier today Capcom held an event in San Francisco which they called Gamer’s Day. Considering it is Halloween, it is the best time to reveal some scary news as you have already seen. Alongside a few zombie announcements, Capcom also revealed that their upcoming title Resident Evil: Revelations would allow players to wipe their save data if they feel like it.

This news comes after Capcom prevented players from resetting their save data in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D which not only made quite a few consumers angry but also effectively killed off the used market on the title. Another snippet of news revealed is that Capcom does not plan to release any bundled package of Resident Evil: Revelations with the Circle Pad Pro in North America. At least this means that when the title releases on February 7, it won’t be a requirement to enjoy the horror.

Jack’s Achievement Challenge: October 2011 Update

11 months on and still going strong. Well, maybe strong isn’t the word for it, as I seem to be running low on games with do-able achievements lists and the 11 months have taken their toll, leaving me feeling a little fatigued.

But I managed it – another game succumbs to the might of my gaming ability. The order of the month this time was ‘Kinect Me’, another downloadable outing exclusively for the Kinect sensor. In all honesty it was more testing of my modelling qualities than my gaming prowess, but was good fun all the same. The game scans you as you are and makes an avatar to match, down to the very clothes on your back.

Here are the standings with this latest fully complete game’s achievements taken into account:

December 2010
Harm’s Way 200/200

January 2011
Faery: Legends of Avalon 200/200

February 2011
Spare Parts 200/200

March 2011
Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 1000/1000

April 2011
Doritos Crash Course 200/200

May 2011
Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime 200/200

June 2011
TRON: Evolution 1000/1000

July 2011
Lazy Raiders 200/200

August 2011
Googly Eyes 50/50

September 2011
Truth or Lies 1000/1000

October 2011
Kinect Me 50/50

As always, I’d love to hear your input on the standings so far in the comments, be it suggestions of other games to tackle or your own achievements with regard to achievements.

Keeping with the zombie themed news, Capcom has also released a new trailer for Resident Evil: Revelations. In this trailer we see that Resident Evil: Revelations will have a c-op gameplay mode known as “Raid Mode,” which allows players to team up and compete a set of objectives while they earn points by killing enemies and working together to upgrade their equipment.

Raid Mode also means that long-separated partners Jill Valentine​ and Chris Redfield will join forces again to work together, but a few more people can join the fun as well. Capcom also revealed that up to four players can play at one time, though not in Raid Mode. This means that Mercenaries will likely have at least one more multiplayer option. Check out the video below.
