Well well well… yesterday Warner Brothers revealed that there would be an online pass for Batman: Akrham City and without it players would not be able to play as Catwoman at all, including four story missions. It seems that GameStop just didn’t like this policy and is going to offer all consumers who purchase used copies an online pass for Catwoman.
The news comes from a memo obtained by HotBloodedGaming that was sent out to GameStop stores saying that all pre-owned customers would get codes. How exactly GameStop is going to be giving out these codes is not known, whether or not if they will be paying Warner Bros anything or if this is just a retailer taking a stand for consumers against online passes.
Today a teaser trailer was released for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron which is about as teaserish as possible. The trailer comes from New York Comic Con and is quite short, full of static, mostly black and white but provides everything a die-hard transformers fan would love. Namely it contains footage pretty much only of a certain dinobot seen above.
Yep, it seems that Grimlocke is making a full return in Fall of Cybertron and High Moon Studios is making the best of the characters popularity. Now they just need to make him sound the same as everyone remembers and the game will certainly be something fans will look forward to without showing anymore actual footage. Catch the video below.
Celebrating 20 years of Sonic gaming, Sonic Generations will be a fun-filled game that incorporates old levels and even a younger Sonic. A new evil is hiding behind the scenes creating time holes. Sending both Sonic and friends back in time, you must find the true reason behind all of the chaos.

Enjoy the interesting cinematic and partial gameplay in the Sonic Generations‘s boss trailer below. Check out SEGA’s website for more information: (HERE).
Many mysteries surround Deus Ex: Human Revolution and one of those was when exactly fans could expect “The Missing Link” DLC to be released for fans. It was previously said that the DLC would be released sometime in October and it turns out that it will indeed be. In fact it will be released next week on October 18th according to Eidos Montreal’s Twitter.
Unfortunately for some, the price of the DLC on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC is going to cost 1200 MSP or $14.99 depending on your platform of choice. Still, with content upwards of six hours of extra play time, $15 is still a relatively easy price to pay. Will you be picking up this DLC to augment your Deus Ex experience?
If you are a die hard fan of World of Warcraft or even just want to help support some charities then Blizzard has something for you to keep an eye on. Blizzard will be auctioning off 2,000 server blades which used to house everything in the entire MMO world of World of Warcraft. This means that if you purchase one of these blades, you’ll end up owning hundreds of thousands of hours of time that people used to spend playing on it virtually.
All the money that is raised through the auctions will go to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. If you like you can also bid towards specific realm blades so you could potentially own a blade your own character used to exist on digitally. Each blade is going to be in a windowed case with the WoW logo. The auctions will start on eBay on October 17th so best get your money ready.
A year ago Valve intorduced a store system in Team Fortress 2 which made it so players could buy virtual items for real world money, which also allowed players to create their own items on the game and make their own money from would-by buyers. Besides buying things for money they could also make trades with other players.
This update adds in the Steam Workshop, a feature designed specifically for item creators. The workshop is “an improved item submission system that allows community item-creators to test, share and track the status of their creations.” This is a great little feature it seems, and considering the fact that $2 million were made last year from in-game sales alone, this will certainly help.
Besides the workshop, 30 new hats have been added as well as an item decal system, a week long “try before you buy” item tryout feature as well as a whole bunch of other things. Plus on October 17th everything in the Mann Co. Store is going to be on sale. Good things all around for Team Fortress 2 fans.
While it was speculated that Square Enix’s Army Corps of Hell would also be a launch title in North America for the PlayStation Vita, the company themselves had never confirmed that fact. Until today that is, when Square Enix revealed via a press release that the title would indeed be available at the launch of the PS Vita, whenever that is exactly.
The game will be developed by Entersphere which includes Motoi Okamoto who worked on the Pikmin games which is quite ironic, considering the fact that Army Corps of Hell seems to be like a Pikmin game with demons that you will be controlling instead of little plant men. Earlier today we posted the a trailer for the title which you can find here.
While the anime for History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi otherwise known as Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi in Japan may have finished quite a few years ago, the manga has been continuing on a weekly basis. This means that there is quite a lot of content to draw form, and it seems that anime studio Brains Base is going to be doing just that.
This week’s issue of Shonen Sunday magazine revealed that an original video anime also known as an OVA will be produced by Brains Base, though at the moment no other details were released. Hopefully FUNimation will also localize the OVA like they did for the television series, though no announcement has been made at this time.
The EB Games EXPO (GAMESTOP for all you US readers out there) will be opening its doors to the public for the first time tomorrow Saturday and Sunday (15th and 16th October) at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition center. Originally called the EB Vendor show, this event was only accessable to EB Games managers. Here the managers from each EB Games store around Australia would get to try and test out all the latest up and coming video game titles from a large variety of different publishers / vendors.
Of course everyone was quite jelous that only the managers were allowed to go to this cool event. Early in the year there were rumors spreading that this year EB was going to open/extend its vendor show to the public and allow everyone to get some hands on with the latest up coming games. Quite a smart move if you ask me, currently Australia doesn’t have a professionally organized Game Expo similar to E3, Gamescon or Tokyo Game Show. So this was EB Games opportunity to introduce something similar down under for all the poor unappreciated Aussies that always get left in the dark.
Finally the poor unappreciated Aussies can stop their whining because over the next two days they will be abe to see and get some hands on action on some of the soon to be released blockbuster titles such as Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, Batman Arkham City, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Mario Kart 7 and The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim just to name a few.
Today, the Capsule Computers Crew picked up our media passes and were able to get a sneak peak at the the Expo floor. With approx 21 vendors / video game publishers showing their soon to be released titles, it looks like EB Games might be on a winner here. Having sold over 10,000 tickets so far and with Saturday already fully booked/sold out. It looks like the public here in Australia really do love their video games.
Check out our sneak peak of the expo floor below, feel free to leave any comments, let us know what you like or don’t like. For more information on the EB GAMES EXPO head on over to the official website here.
When Amagami SS+ was announced many people were curious as to how they could change the series much from the original release. But perhaps a new director and series script editor will change things up. The official website for Amagami SS revealed earlier today that the second season which will be airing next January will have two well known names taking over the positions.
Tomoki Kobayashi will take over as the series’ director while Noboru Kimura will take over as series script editor. While these two positions have been changed, AIC will be bringing back every other member of the cast of the original series back to create Amagami SS+.
