Hulk Hogan’s Main Event to receive T-Shirt pre-order bonus!

Wrestling fans have had a pretty good year so far in terms of releases. Earlier this year, we seen WWE All Stars hit the shelves and of course THQ’s WWE ’12 is now just a few months away. One title that also deserves some attention though is Majeco’s celebration of the Hulkster himself, Hulk Hogan’s Main Event. While this Kinect title is about taking out your opponent in the ring, it is also geared more towards the actual showmanship of the sport as the player must learn Hulk’s trademark moves and poses to gain the attention of the crowd.

Those who are planning on picking up Hulk Hogan’s Main Event will also be happy to know that all consumers that pre-order from Gamestop will now receive their very own T-Shirt, bearing the game’s logo. Some might be thinking “yeah, it’s just a shirt”, and yes, you would be right…but, it is a rare tradition for any game released these days to offer a physical pre-order bonus, which makes Hulk Hogan’s Main Event’s offer all the more special.

Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is due out this October exclusively on the Xbox 360 with Kinect, so take you vitamins, say your prayers, and put down a pre-order to show your support of the Hulkster himself.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time to feature new costume

There’s a new Spider-Man in town, and his name is Miles Morales. That’s right, Peter Parker is no more (in one branch of the comic book universe at least!). The change was announced a while back, but the new character is still getting into the swing of things (sorry) with the release of Ultimate Fallout #4. It  makes perfect sense that a new Spidey would have a new costume, and the folks at Marvel are happy to announce that the upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time game will also feature the new look.

Due for release across all platforms in October this year, Edge of Time is being developed by Beenox, the same part of Activision behind previous Spider-Man title Shattered Dimensions. Players will be able to take on the mantle of both the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, and take part in an epic mission to save the world from a chaotic, dystopian future.

So what do you think of the new look? Will Peter Parker in his red and blue always be the real Spider-Man?

Trackmania 2 Canyon ready to race!

Update – Full review for Trackmania 2 Canyon

The newest entry in the hugely popular online racing series is now available for download. A PC exclusive, Trackmania 2 Canyon has already been running a multiplayer beta over the past month or so, and in two weeks of that time players from 83 countries have taken part, making over three thousand tracks with the built in creation tools.

Alongside the release comes yet another fantastic trailer. Now what you have to keep in mind whilst watching this, is that what you see is what you get – all those insane, gravity defying wall runs and ridiculous jumps are from playable, in game levels, a small taste of the three thousand user created tracks that will doubtlessley explode in number now that the full game is released.

Having played the beta I’m really excited about getting my hands on the full release, so watch out for a review here on Capsule Computers.

Fatal Frame 3DS game to be called Spirit Photography; trailer released for TGS

It was teased recently that Tecmo Koei was working on a Fatal Frame spin-off title for the Nintendo 3DS. Well you won’t have to worry about teasers anymore, because Tecmo has confirmed that they are indeed working on a 3DS horror game which is called Shinrei Camera in Japan. The title for the game in English is Spirit Photography: The Possessed Notebook.

The game will come with an Augmented Reality notebook that players will have to scan with the 3DS to play the game, but it begs the question as to what happens if you lose that notebook. You can see in the video below which is a trailer for the game released from Tokyo Game Show today, in the video we see a few details for the game but not much else is currently known about the title besides the fact that it is quite scary and definitely needs to be released for the West as well.

The trailer mostly sets up the storylinefor Dark Souls and presents quite a lot of cinematic battle and wonder. Dark Souls will be released on October 7th for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 so no one will be left in the dark when it comes to merciless difficulty.
