Those who are itching to play Trendy Entertainment’s upcoming action-RPG/tower defense hybrid are not going to have a long wait ahead of them, as it was announced today that the XBLA & Windows PC versions of Dungeon Defenders will be released on October 19th.
“It’s been a long time coming, but the day is finally here to announce when we’ll be unleashing the full console version of Dungeon Defenders upon the masses, and we couldn’t be happier,” said Jeremy Stieglitz, COO and co-founder of Trendy Entertainment. “The console version of Dungeon Defenders has more content, more depth and more challenge than many full retail boxed games, so we can’t wait to get it into players’ hands so they can experience this epic role playing game as it was intended to be played.”
For those who haven’t been following this title, Dungeon Defenders blends together the tower defense genre with action-RPG elements and allows for up to four players to join together in an offline or online drop-in/drop-out co-op experience to take down an ancient evil. As far as the way the game actually plays, this title uses a combination of hack and slash and real-time strategy to take down foes, which are two genres we don’t often see mixed together. Players can also expect a ton of looting, tradable pets, tons of game-play modes in this cell shaded adventure.
Those who want to try out the game early will also be pleased to know that be playable at PAX Prime at the Reverb Publishing booth #3652. A new trailer was also released to show off the Squire in action, which you can check out below. Dungeon Defenders is set to release (as mentioned) on the Xbox Live Arcade and PC on October 19th, with a PSN release date that will soon be announced.

2XL Games are preparing for their big launch of Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad for the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, and with that a few new screenshots and a new trailer have been released to show the game in action. Now if you have by chance not heard of this upcoming offroad racer, now is a good time to take notice.
Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad puts players in the driver seat of four-wheeled 800 horsepower off road race trucks with both a single-player career mode and online multi-player. The career mode consists of Jeremy’s bid for the PRO-2 championship within the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, where players will get their chance to play as the legend himself as they race throughout several tracks. There will also be plenty of variety as far as vehicles go, featuring the likes of Rally Cars, Pro Buggies, and Trophylite Trucks, which all run at a nice 60 FPS in a 1080p presentation.
The new trailer shows off all of this action with clips from the actual gameplay, and while the racing looks fantastic, I must say I am also very impressed by the detailed environments within. You can buckle your seatbelt and watch the new clip down below and feast your eyes upon the fresh batch of screenshots released today while your at it. Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad launches later this year and once we get a release date on this new offroad experience, we will be sure to bring you an update.
505 Games released a new trailer for Supremacy MMA highlighting the gruesomely exciting nature of the upcoming release, filled with plenty of axe kicks, takedowns and of course broken bones (and faces).
Supremacy MMA takes the pain from the professional sport and magnifies it to a cringe worthy level as you can see from the trailer, yet still keeping a bit of realism with the moves. I can’t help but think this is what a Tyler Durden fight would look like if you threw him in a MMA cage.
Have a look at the video for yourselves and let us know your thoughts. Supremacy MMA comes out at the end of September. I can’t imagine your parents would mind you trying out WWE moves at home if they saw how much more pain you could put your brother through.
Ubisoft have released a demo walkthrough video at Gamescom, showing off gameplay footage of an older, injured Ezio playing through a memory. The footage shows the classic features from the series in addition to insight into some of the newer ones.
We get to see old-man Ezio as he limps through a portion of a mission as he continues to uncover the secrets left behind by the legendary Altair. The video also shows glimpses of one of the playable Altair missions which is set before the time of the first Assassin’s Creed game, illustrating history as we discover on a greater level the life and skills of Altair.
Ubisoft also announced today that there will be an Altair avatar available as incentive to pre-order the upcoming game which will be released on the 15th of November.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think!

If you’ve been waiting to see the full character design for Serah then you are in luck because alongside some new screenshots released for Final Fantasy XIII-2 was a full body artwork of Serah as you can see below. In this piece of art we see Serah wielding a bow, while we are also treated to two combat screenshots which show off her fighting style with both a bow as well as a sword.
Besides these three images we are also given two pieces of environmental screens and a bit of a storyline related one as well. It seems Serah may have misplaced Lightning’s knife somehow, or did she? We’ll know for sure next year when Final Fantasy XIII-2 releases on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
