Motion Sports Adrenaline – The spelling is like nothing you’ve ever seen!


Ubisoft’s next Kinect and Playstation Move based title centers around extreme sports. Human kites, extreme mountain biking and more all await! To top it off, XTRM spelling debuts as the newest X Games sport. Check it all out in the trailer below and then ask yourself: Am I ready to give up proper spelling for the rest of my life to dedicate my self to my passion of Kinect eSports? You may find the answer enlightening. Motion Sports Adrenaline releases this Fall.

I’ve got to say, if they can nail the controls, this game might actually be fun. What’s your opinion?

Breaking Bad renewed for last hurrah


Hit TV series Breaking Bad, from AMC and Sony, will be getting a 5th and final season with production starting on the last 16 episodes early next year. With an Emmy award under its belt, Breaking Bad is all set to go where all good TV goes: off the air. Vince Gilligan, the show’s creator, had these words to say:

“It’s a funny irony — I’d hate to know the date of my own last day on earth, but I’m delighted to know what Walter White’s will be (episodically speaking). This is a great gift to me and to my wonderful writers. It’s knowledge which will allow us to properly build our story to a satisfying conclusion. Now, if we don’t manage to pull that off, we’ve got no one to blame but ourselves. Breaking Bad has been a dream job these past four years. Working with the best cast and crew in television has no doubt spoiled me for future projects. I’m lucky to get to work with them on sixteen more episodes, and I will always be grateful to both AMC and Sony Television, who from the beginning, believed in our show and supported me creatively and professionally. We have been able to take risks with Breaking Bad which would not have been possible on other networks.” “

Puella Magi Madoka Magica gets an English-subbed trailer from Aniplex

Before you get too excited you should know that Aniplex of America did not give any release date for when fans of Madoka Magica should be expecting their English sub and dub to be released. But what they did release was an English subbed trailer today onto YouTube, which you can catch below. The trailer itself is nearly two minutes long and introduces the various main characters of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Be prepared though, this show isn’t exactly all puppies and magical girls having fun and loving times. I will not reveal too much about the show but Madoka Magica is certainly a dark show and those expecting a lighthearted anime will be extremely surprised by the content. Which means Aniplex is pulling a great trick at the moment with this happy go lucky trailer which you can catch below.

EA Sports unveils NHL ’12 Legends


EA Sport’s next NHL game is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 9, 2011. In NHL ’12, you’ll be able to play with some of hockey’s best players like Wayne Gretzsky and… uhh… other guys, presumably Canadian, who were really good at the sport. On top of that, there is a special Legends game mode, and you can add any of the legendary players to your own team. Check it all out in the newest video below. Which one will you choose to rep your team and send the competition packing? Hopefully, the game will also continue to innovate in its genre and fix glitches, as well as add new features that fans have been clamoring for.

Facebook found an item in the game Innovation. Would you like to play?


Google+ just announced that they will be adding plenty of time-lootin’ games to their new social network. And while we can’t prove anything, Facebook’s latest announcements on how they will be changing their gaming services is so hot on the heels of El Goog’s news that it is suspicious. When Facebook got rid of wall spamming (thank the Lord), their game numbers have failed to grow much more over the current 200 million members who play Farmville, etc. Coming soon, Facebook will include individual game recommendations, improved relationships with developers and a focus on quality over quantity. Hopefully, they will also include Google+’s way of limiting game notifications to a separate, special wall and only taking 5% of profits from developers (Facebook currently takes 30%),

The Old Republic charters its course out of region locking

3


That’s right folks. Peeps who pick up The Old Republic at launch will be free of any region locking. Aussies, Brits, Amazonians, researchers at McMurdo and even tourists at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will be able to kick Sith butt anywhere in the world, assuming their WIFI is good enough. So never fear, BioWare is a kind master. If your ISP can make the Latency Run in under 12ms, you will be able to find the droids your looking for… and then slice ’em, shoot ’em, fly ’em and kick ’em all the way back to Coruscant. Unfortunately, no Jedi or Sith Lord has yet conquered the Origin service that the game will be digitally exclusive available on. Guess you’ll just to smuggle it through an old fashioned retailer.

Three Dead Island soundtrack songs to make those shadows all the scarier

Despite Deep Silver and Techland’s extremely high anticipated zombie survival title not coming out for another few weeks, some songs from the game’s soundtrack have found their way online. Three songs were found originally by CVG and are available to be listened to below. The music tracks include Zombie Rising, Surrounded by Zombies and of course the game’s main theme.

There are no vocals to any of these songs, as they are meant to provide a spooky atmosphere, and you know what? They do that job perfectly. Dead Island will be released on September 6th and if this music is anything to go by, then Dead Island is certainly going to live up to all the hype. Who else is ready for some co-op zombie killing fun?
