Big Blue Bubble Inc has released a sequel to their hit iOS game, Burn the Rope. Burn the Rope: Worlds gives you 100 brand new levels in four different themes, and a new mini game called Endless Burn.

Burn the Rope: Worlds has the same gameplay rules as the original game. You have to burn as much rope as possible, trying to keep the flame going as long as possible. To keep the flame going, you rotate your phone and catch ropes on fire, since flames burn upwards. Additionally, there are different types of bugs with either help or hinder you along the way. The mini-game is like a version of snake, where you have to collect bugs but not run into yourself.

This is a unique puzzle game, not simply a standard cookie cutter concept or design.

Go grab it from iTunes now for $0.99 and burn away!

Let it not be said that the PlayStation Portable is dead. Today during the Sony Pre-Tokyo Game Show event it was revealed that Square Enix’s Lord of Arcana is going to be getting a sequel. Better yet, this sequel is not only showing up on the PlayStation Vita in the future but also on PlayStation Portable as well.

The game is going to be called Lord of Apocalypse and will feature character designs by Tsubasa Masao. The same person who was involved in games such as the Zone of Enders titles. Lord of Arcana was released earlier this year in the West and saw mild success so let’s hope that this sequel will make it over to the West as well.

Fighting gamers rejoice! At least those in Japan, because during Sony’s Pre-Tokyo Game Show event today they announced that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be available as a PlayStation Vita launch title in Japan. It may have already been announced as a launch title in the West, but since the West will be getting the Vita a few months after Japan, it only made sense.

This news comes shortly after the announcement that the popular Sony Cat mascot Toro and neighbor Kuro will be playable fighters, helping raise gamer excitement about a title that some see as a re-hash of a game that has already seen one version and is also coming out on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the coming months.

Right now, as I post this, Sony is currently conducting their Pre-TGS conference, like Nintendo did yesterday. Square Enix took the stage and talked about some games coming out for the Playstation 3 and Vita. No one expect this announcement.

At the end of the section, a logo appears on the screen. It is the logo of Final Fantasy X. Ladies and gentlemen, Tidus, Yuna and co. are about to grace your big screen TV and your pocket, because a HD upgrade to Final Fantasy X is heading to the Playstation Vita and Playstation 3.

No other information has been announced but Shinji Hashimoto did say (rough translation) “I received requests from many fans who desire to play Final Fantasy on the Vita. Today, their voices helped form “Final Fantasy X HD” which will be for the PS Vita!”

Shout out your opinions below. Are you shocked at this announcement? Excited? Nauseated?

It’s rare when a simple trailer can change my mood for the better, but the new clip that Nintendo released today for Kirby’s Return to Dream Land did just that. As many of you know, this Kirby title is coming for the Wii and is set to return Kirby to his non-yarn roots with up four player co-op multi-player and a brand new and very fluffy plotline.

This clip shows the game in action with a lot of new footage, displaying the many abilities Kirby will have at his disposal once he sucks up an enemy. Multi-player also looks to be a key ingredient, as players must work together to progress. Without me babbling on too much longer, go ahead and feast your eyes upon the new trailer below, and dust off those Wiimotes as Kirby’s Return to Dream Land launches on October 24th.

Sony is really pushing to have fans of fighting games and the Street Fighter and Tekken franchises purchase the upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita. Not only did they announce Cole McGrath from inFamous during E3, but now during Sony’s pre-TGS event they have announced another couple of characters exclusive to the Vita.

Sony’s mascot in Japan, Toro will be playable and so will his neighbor Kuro. Toro, the white cat is also known as Sony Cat and has been one of Sony’s best PlayStation mascots in Japan. While many fans outside of Japan may not be interested in these characters, Japan is going to be quite glad these characters are included. Plus who doesn’t want to beat up their favorite fighters as a little white cartoon cat.
