Onechanbara Z Kagura gets a debut trailer

Yesterday it was revealed that D3 Publisher was working on a new Onechanbara title exclusively for the Xbox 360. Today they have released a debut trailer for the title which you can see below. The game will have players playing as two new sisters who are vampires named Kagura and Saaya. As you can see below one of the sisters retains the same cowgirl bikini outfit as before, with the other sister wearing something similar to a school outfit.

It seems that the title may actually be more than just running around and fighting random zombies this time however, as the bosses are quite larger than in the first title. Of course all of the bare flesh on the main characters is the same. Perhaps this title does indeed have hopes of being released in the West. Lets hope so because everyone needs a bit of Onechanbara in their lives.

Street Fighter x Tekken box art revealed; two new characters teased

In case you were concerned about what that box of Street Fighter X Tekken would look like, Capcom has you covered. The official box art for the game has been confirmed and you can see it to the right. Unfortunately it doesn’t contain my favorite character King from Tekken but we’ll take what we can get. Who would you like to see grace the cover instead or are you happy with the chosen characters?

Besides the box art reveal, Capcom has also released two new teaser trailers for two fighters today. You can see both videos below and take a guess as to who is being shown off in them. I can say that Heihachi is the Tekken reveal, but the Street Fighter character is up in the air. We’ll find out for sure next year when Street Fighter X Tekken is released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and a PlayStation Vita version sometime in the future.

Frogger turns 30 with a new release for Apple products

I get a little nostalgic every time I see a new Frogger game added to the franchise, as in brings back fond memories of a simpler time, setting up our first ever family PC as a kid with Frogger being the only game we had on a brand new floppy disc. Fast forward twenty five odd years from then and the franchise is still going strong as Konami announce a new member of the Frogger family in collaboration with Revolutionary studios, specifically for Apple products, in the form of Frogger Decades.

Frogger Decades celebrates the 30th Birthday of the Frogger franchise with revamped vibrant graphics and animation, as well as our favourite frog in a little bit of a dilemma. Upon return home, Frogger finds a map seemingly guiding him to the location of his huge celebratory party. Unbeknownst to him, his arch enemy has done the old switcheroo with the maps , leading Frogger on a wild and potentially dangerous adventure.

Set across five well crafted and exceptionally challenging (even for the frogger savvy) environments, Revolutionary studios have successfully recaptured the fun addictive gameplay that the franchise is known for. Taking control of Frogger is no easy feat, as you will have to guide him through snapping enemies and bulldozers as he jumps, hops, swings and dodges his way to freedom. Throughout the game players will also become acquainted with many of Froggers close friends, all empowered with unique skills to help the little frog along his way.

Frogger Decades is now available in the Apple App. store for Ipad, Ipad 2, Iphone 4, Iphone GPS and Ipod touch 3rd generation or greater running at least IOS 3.1.2 as a minimum.

Check out www.konami.com/frogger for more information regarding the frogger franchise as well as the new release and the frogger franchise thirtieth birthday celebrations.

Infamous 2: Festival of Blood gets a small cutscene trailer

Infamous 2: Festival of Blood is about more than electricity. More like electricity and blood and apparently vampires. Sucker Punch and Sony released a bit of a teaser for the standalone PSN game, and by a bit of a teaser we mean an extremely small one. It appears that a shriveled and long dead vampire is fed Cole McGrath’s blood and is going to be resurrected by a cult of some sort.

All of this takes place in a cutscene that will likely be shown during the very beginning of the game. Currently there is no price set for Infamous 2: Festival of Blood, but it could be an interesting title, even though vampires and electricity probably don’t mix too well. Either way check out the teaser cutscene? below.

Dungeon Siege III Treasures of the Sun DLC announced

Earlier today Square Enix and Obsidian Entertainment announced that they will be releasing the first DLC package for Dungeon Siege III sometime in October. The DLC is named The Treasures of the Sun and will have players entering the Aranoi Desert, an entirely new area never before seen. Players will be on the search for a lost Legion hero and fight through new enemies and even discover a great treasure.

The DLC will add numerous hours of gameplay as well as raise the level cap on characters up to level 35, five levels higher than previously allowed. This means that there will be plenty of new abilities for your characters to learn and unleash them on the new enemies that can be found in the Aranoi Desert. The DLC will cost $9.99 or 800 MSP on the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 respectively when it is released.

Call of Duty XP 2011 Completely Sold Out

0

Scheduled to open its doors to a mass legion of fans soon, tickets to the Call of Duty expo extravaganza in Los Angeles have officially sold out. Whilst this may not come as a huge shock to many, it however is surprising that a massive event like this took so long to finally sell out. Bearing in mind that the event is set to take place over this weekend September 2nd and 3rd, up until a few hours ago tickets were widely available for purchase on Call of Duty XP’s website.

I don’t suppose a $150 price tag isn’t asking that much considering what the expo is offering. A $1 Million Call of Duty Tournament, real-life Call of Duty paintball, live performances from Kanye West and Dropkick Murphys and of cause the first chance to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 over two massive days.

Stay tuned for more information on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as it comes straight from Call of Duty XP.
