It’s been awhile since we’ve heard about Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon. So far in fact that it may had slipped the minds of many gamers that it even was in development. But you better kick your brain back into your head because Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon has just gotten a price as well as a release date. 345 Games and Comedy Central revealed that the game will be available on August 30th for PSN users and August 31st on the XBLA for $9.99 or 800 MSP respectively.

The title will have all the original voice actors from the show and the story is a script penned by the original writer Devin Clark so you know that this will be a quality Ugly Americans title. Dan Yang, general maanger of 345 Games says that they have worked hard to make Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon a “combination of addicting gameplay and the comedic sensibilities.” The title will feature twin stick shooter gameplay and allow up to four players to play at one time.

Despite a rather week showing at E3, Star Wars Kinect may just be a title that should be given a second look. Earlier today Microsoft and Lucas Arts revealed some new screenshots for the title which actually make the title look quite tolerable, if I day say enjoyable to play.

Of course there is still the worry that the title may end up being a Star Wars game that is more or less on rails, but hopefully that won’t be the case. In these screenshots we see some Jedi vs Droid combat, a rampaging rancor and even some pod racing. Check out the screenshots below and remember this game is only for the Kinect owning Xbox 360 owners.

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.

Sims 3 adds Pets to the mix

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.
