Our friends in Australia have suffered a terrible misfortune… they have yet to get a chance to play Atlus’ Catherine yet! Though Catherine is being brought to Europe by Deep Silver, no one remembered to bring Catherine down under, that is until GAME in Australia and EB Games decided to update their websites with the game for pre-order.

Although EB Games doesn’t list what company will be bringing the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version of the titles to Australia, GAME lists that the localizer is QV Software. Of course until something is confirmed either by Atlus or by QV Software this can be taken with a grain of salt, but two listings can’t really be wrong can they? Especially when they both list the Australian price of $99.95 and details about the game itself.

As many of you are aware, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record ships out October 11th, and will place Frank West in Fortune City as he uses his trusty camera to get a fresh take on the zombie outbreak. Seeing how the game is now under two months away from hitting the Xbox 360 & PS3, Capcom brought out a fresh trailer for the game at Gamescom which shows Frank West giving us the rundown on how to get the best composition and create the perfect photo.

Xbox360Achievements.org also brought out a full list of Achievements for the game, with some requiring tasks such as taking an “erotic” picture, crossdressing, and having frank take a dose of Zombrex. You can check out those achievements HERE (But be warned these might contain spoilers!), and watch the clip below to be schooled by Mr. West himself.

The only thing missing from Electronic Art’s most recent “life simulation” game was Pets. However, all will be rectified soon. DLC featuring dogs, cats, and horses, each with their own unique personalities will be coming to the PC. There is even a magical pet that you can have in the game that is not available in real life. We will give you a hint as to its identity: it has a horn. Can you figure it out? No cheating and watching the trailer below first either!

And would someone please answer us this: Where do animals come from? This video seems to indicate a strange, non-organic toaster-like thing is responsible for their appearance, but that’s not what we learned in health class. Strange.

Capcom are bringing their all to Gamescom 2011, and with the release of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom lingering away in November, a brand new trailer and screenshots were fed to the crowd to assist with the wait time. This clip gives us a first look at both Nemesis from the Resident Evil series as well as the infamous Doctor Strange, who is one of Marvel’s most notorious characters from the comic book series of the same name.

It appears that Nemesis will be quite a tank and also feature an incredible hyper combo, while Doctor Strange will be more quick and agile, using his magic abilities to assist in overcoming foes. Check out the trailer and shiny new screenshots below and once more info for the other new characters in UMVC surface, we will sure to bring you the reveals here.

If you were thinking that the best way to make your avatar look a little bit tougher was to get a scary looking pet? Then perhaps you should go browse the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace because THQ has released a whole slew of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine clothing and pets for your avatar.

Unfortunately before you get to excited, they haven’t released any armor or sword chainsaws to deck out your virtual self, but they have released 80 MSP ($1) t-shirts and hats that represent the game’s factions or you could even buy a Squig, Gretchin or Servo Skull as a pet for 160 MSP. You can take and get a little preview of what each item will look like below, but then again you can always see how they will look on your avatar on the 360 console itself.

Need for Speed Buried Alive

I’m getting more and more excited about this title as more information is being revealed through the various trailers. After the seriousness of Shift 2, EA look like they have gone back to the roots of what made the Need for Speed franchise such a hit to begin with. All the elements of arcade style high speed racing are present as well as the danger and pure thrill of being in control of a vehicle with no driving restrictions being imposed. In this trailer titled Buied Alive, we join Jack, the main character in the story in Colorado as he has to make a life threatening decision about which path to follow. The choices are a sharp contrast, take the easy route and lose valuable time, or trust your instincts and take the shorter more dangerous route, utilising all your driving skills to beat the clock and the challenging environment.

Today, in addition to revealing that Kingdoms of Amalur would release on February 7th in America and the 10th in Europe, Electronic Arts also gave us a trailer showing off the gameplay and story.

With game design by Ken Rolston and art from Todd McFarlane, Kingdoms of Amalur certainly looks to be stylish. Plus, R.A. Salvatore has written the story, so this is one video game that will not only look great, but also have a well written story (hopefully). Check out the trailer below, and then give us your thoughts on the upcoming game. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

With all of the reveals for dancing games in the past few days, I almost forgot about Dance Central 2 for the Kinect to be honest. Luckily, Harmonix brought the title to Gamescom to make us all remember why it is still one of the best series for the Kinect, showing off a new trailer, screenshots, and character art that players can expect to see when it hits stores in October.

So what’s new for this motion controlled dance game? A new “dance battle” mode has been included that features drop in/drop out multiplayer, 40 new tracks for players to jam to, and the ability to import all songs from the first title to this sequel, which is something Harmonix is known for including with any music title they release.

Right now though, we have a shiny new trailer that you can feast your eyes on below, showing off some of the “dance crews” that will be featured in the game as well as a couple new screenshots. Dance Central 2 hits the Kinect on October 21st for Europe, and the 25th in North America.
