If you’ve been thinking that your Infamous 2 user generated mission needs a fancy new vehicle, but are afraid that what you are looking for just isn’t there to place in the game you may want to pick up this package. Sucker Punch and Sony have announced that they are releasing a user generated content DLC package which is entirely free and includes five different vehicles from the single player game that can be used in UGC.

The vehicles can be seen above, and another new feature has been added to the user-generated content mode. Players can now search through various user generated content missions through a new search feature which is accessible by pausing the game. This means you will never run out of things to fill full of electricity and destroy with your crimson or blue lightning.

Anyone that purchases two PC copies of the game through their digital partners (Steam, SEGA E-Store and others) will receive two extra copies of the game to gift for free.

For the multiplayer of cause, Renegade Ops features full multiplayer capability, sporting four player online co-op campaign. Video games are much better when you play with friends and it’s nice to be getting something for free.

Renegade Ops will be available for Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and PC in September for 1200 Microsoft points or $15.

Kinectimals: Now with Bears! First Screenshots Revealed!

Do you like cuddly bears? Do you like playing with them while they toot on whistles and ride around in toy vehicles? If you answered yes to both, then you will be elated to know that Microsoft’s upcoming “Kinectimals: Now With Bears!” is coming out a bit later this year. From the looks of it, this expansion of sorts will add in Pandas, Grizzlies, and several other variants of bear cubs that fans of the Kinect title should love to see. Also included will be a brand new island for players to interact with their beary fuzzy friends.

No official date has been given for Kinectimals: Now With Bears! except for a “Fall” launch window, but you can check out the fresh batch of screenshots below and we will keep you updated as more information comes out.

The Sims 3 Town Life Stuff Pack is now out now in stores today. As a Stuff Pack, this game add-on delivers more content into the game with an emphasis on town life (hence the name). In this Stuff Pack, new community lots and locations such as gyms, libraries and laundromats have been included into the game. Along with a bunch of new items, clothes, hairstyles and everything in between that you have come to expect from a Sims Stuff Pack.

Hopefully this Stuff Pack will keep players satisfied till the next big expansion packs comes out in October (that’s The Sims 3 Pets for anyone hasn’t been keeping attention).

Pro Evo 2012: Control two players at once

2012 is shaping up to be the year where sports games get a major overhaul, and Pro Evo 2012 is no different. Konami have just announced in PES 2012 will have a new Teammate Control system which allows gamers to control two players at once.

The Teammate Control system will allow for the control of a secondary player while running with the main player, and can be used in two ways: the user presses the right analog stick in the direction of the player which they wish to control, but by holding down R3 the user can activate a second player in Assisted mode. Alternatively, Manual mode offers the user complete control of the second player; when R3 is released, the user goes back to controlling the main player.

Other improvements have also been made to PES 2012, including an Active AI which ensures players track targets more effectively, and one-on-one situations will allow defenders to jostle for the ball and attackers to feint. Movement and reactions have been enhanced (there’s a three-frame improvement in response times), and aesthetics have also been refined.

According to John Murphy, European PES Team Leader for Konami, PES 2012 will be a sophisticated title that will push the franchise to that next level.

“The addition of Teammate Control is something we have been working on for a while now, and we are delighted that it will make its debut in PES 2012. We have been building to create a control system that truly lets the player do whatever they like on field, and the ability to manually control a second player while simultaneously running with the ball opens all kinds of attacking options. Coupled with the Active AI advancements that ensure supporting players make shuttle run and find space, and I think we have made a huge step towards producing the most advanced football title to date.

“This is the start of a major new era for PES.”

Tekken Blood Vengeance film screening July 26th, one day only

If you’re looking forward to seeing the new Tekken CGI movie, Tekken Blood Vengeance, there’s a one-off chance to see it before it arrives later this year on PS3.

The movie is set to be released as part of the Tekken Hybrid compilation coming to PS3 before Christmas, but Namco Bandai has organised a One Night Only event to see the movie early.

The showings will take place on July 26 at 7:30pm local time in select movie theatres across the US, showing the movie in 3D well ahead of the release as part of the Tekken Hybrid package. Following the movie will be a 20 minute special with interviews with the Tekken Project Director and Screenwriter.

If you think you’re willing to make it on such short notice, plug in your Zip Code and see if it’s screening near you: http://www.fathomevents.com/originals/event/tekken.aspx?utm_source=Google_Display_Network&utm_medium=300x250_WebBanners&utm_campaign=TEKKEN3D_FathomPage_2011

Old Republic will be “delayed” for Australia and New Zealand.

Well this sucks… While we in Australia are pretty used to getting the short end of the launch stick when it comes to huge titles, more and more speculation has been growing as of late as to whether or not Australia and New Zealand will be receiving the highly anticipated MMO: Star wars – The Old Republic. The latest revelations to give creedance to that argument is the mass number of Australian’s attempting to utilise the offical SWTOR website’s pre-order function and receiving the message: “Star Wars: The Old Republic is not available in your region. To maintain a high quality of service, only certain regions will be able to pre-order Star Wars – The Old Republic.” As you can imagine, this has caused not shortage of anger in both Australian and New Zealand gaming communities. And just when we finally got the R18+ rating passed through, fate finds yet another way to deny Australian gamers the same experiences as the rest of the world.

This has also been backed up by rumors of EA not being willing to spring for Oceanic / Australasian servers. As a result, Australian and New Zealand based gamers are unable to pre-order the Old Republic online. While pre-orders still stand throughout retailers like EB and JB Hifi, the prospect of a delay will no doubt turn some away from what is stiull shaping up to be one of the best looking MMO’s ever. Already, calls have been made for a boycott of EA products, but we know how successful those have been in the past…

At this point, the official release date changing is still marginally speculation, though highly likely. For the time being, it may only be the pre-order and beta access that the pre-order guarantees that we will miss. Hopefully EA will decide on a concrete response to provide Australia and New Zealand with some sort of server access.
