1000 Tiny Claws Tears Announced For PS MInis

London-based development studio Mediatonic has announced 1000 Tiny Claws, its third PlayStation minis game for PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. It will be released on October 4 in the USA and October 5 in the UK and Europe. Expect to fork out £1.99 in the UK, €2.49 in Europe and $3.49 in the USA.

1000 Tiny Claws is a fast-paced arena brawler, putting the player into the shoes of Rana, a plucky sky pirate tasked with saving the lives of her ship’s crew by clearing stages infested with insectoid enemies – an accursed swarm that the crew may have accidentally released.

1000 Tiny Claws sees Rana having to save her captain and crew from the hangman’s noose after a judge rules that they’re responsible for unleashing a swarm of insects that threaten to bring about the apocalypse. To save her crew, as well as the small matter of saving the world, Rana has to clear a series of floating islands by making sure the infernal enemies infesting each stage fall to their deaths. Rana can draw on her sky pirate’s toolbox of combos, running attacks, special moves and dodges to dispatch her many-clawed foes, and she must keep her cool as the action ramps up into wildly frantic territory if she wants to keep her crewmates alive and break the curse of the 1000 Tiny Claws for once and for all.

Mediatonic is behind two critically accliamed Playstation Minis, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess and Who’s That Flying?!, which means this game could be another great downloadable title. Check out the screenshots below.

PIXEL! PS3 Has A European Release Date

PIXEL!, the third entry of the excellent Arkedo Series, will grace the Playstation Store on the 28th of September. The game, however, isn’t being developed by Arkedo alone. This time around, they have co-developed the game with fellow French developer PastaGames, who developed Maestro Jump In Music, a rhythm/platformer hybrid. Staying the same is the publisher, which is Sanuk Games. Expect to pay €1.99 / £1.59.

PIXEL! follows Pix The Cat in a world of white squares and a blue background. Even though there are the usual platformer mechanics, the game has some unique features, the big feature being the use of a magnifying glass to investigate some pixelated blocks. You may already have met Pix the Cat in PIX’N LOVE RUSH, a game released to much critical and public praise on PlayStation Minis, iPhone and iPad.

While PIX’N LOVE RUSH was built around short scoring-oriented sessions, “PIXEL!” is a more traditional platform adventure. And while PIX’N LOVE RUSH was constrained to tiny handheld screens, “PIXEL!” takes full advantage of your expensive HDTV: the blue halo surrounding big fat pixels had never looked so good!

Check out some screenshots below and have your say on the game.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 arriving on North American and European shores Spring of 2012

NIS America released a very interesting game earlier this year which was an RPG that pretty much referenced the entire video game industry including many guest characters from fellow Japanese developers. That game was Hyperdimension Neptunia. Now Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 has been released in Japan and fans were curious about whether or not the game would also be localized by NIS America.

Well today at Tokyo Game Show those questions were put to rest because NIS America has announced that they will be publishing Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 in North America and Europe in Spring of 2012. In the sequel gamers will take control of Nepgear, Neptune’s younger sister who is traveling with IF and Compa to rescue Neptune. Expect much more news from NIS America in the next few hours.

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?

Ubisoft have unveiled an unboxing video for the Collector Edition of Assassin’s Creed Revelations.  Along with the latest adventures of Ezio Auditore da Firenze (solely responsible for the little Italian I know), players who hand over the extra cash for the Collector Edition can look forward to the following bonuses:

CD copy of the game soundtrack

Assassin’s Creed Revelations Artbook – 50 pages with full colour illustrations and concept art

Assassin’s Creed Embers – a 21 minute animated short film further chronicling the life of Ezio

Bonus single player mission – explore Vlad the Impaler’s secret prison in Constantinople

2 bonus multiplayer characters – take to the streets as the Crusader and the Ottoman Jester

Of course no special edition would be complete without an overly fancy box, and Revelations is no exception. All of the above will be packed into a shiny silver number, complete with assassin seal. The game is coming in no less than SEVEN different packages (Animus, Collector, Special, Signature, Templar Collector, Ultimate bundle, and finally -normal), and will silently creep into stores November 15, 2011.

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.
