To-Fu: The Trials of Chi has just received its first free update – making the martial artist’s adventures even more expansive.
Developer HotGen has unveiled the latest version, which adds Game Center support complete with 22 unique achievements which are sure to please fans and newcomers alike. In addition, adjustments have also been made based on player feedback, the biggest of which is the ability to now skip To-Fu’s – slightly shorter – death sequence.
As you can see from our review of the game it’s well worth picking up, especially now the planned update has arrived to subtly improve the game.
In what is the most bizarre announcement of E3 2011, “Lady Gaga Born This Way Revenge” was announced and released simultaneously for iOS. For those unfamiliar, this is another in a long line of “Tap Tap Revenge” games which are essentially Guitar Hero for iOS.
Yes, it’s a music rhythm game and yes, it’s Lady Gaga. The Little Monsters world wide just bought themselves an app. They have the following “awesome” features available:
In-game Mother Monster twitter feed.
Haus of Gaga event information.
An in-app Gaga bio.
17 tracks with the ability to see those zany lyrics of hers.
3 Little Monsters chat-rooms.
And even a rhythm game of some sort underneath all that.
So from what I gather, the game is about Gaga singing along-side a group of little monsters on an epic adventure to return them to their mother monster in the haus of gaga, leading to a twist ending in which she is revealed to have been mother monster all along. Or it could just be another rhythm game set to Lady Gaga songs. I personally think the former sounds more entertaining.
Lady Gaga Born This Way Revenge is available now on the app store for $4.99 USD.
Nintendo quietly revealed a new trailer for the upcoming Animal Crossing 3DS at E3 that included quite a few surprises. From the general appearance of everything though, this title seems to be closely resembling “City Folk” as the environments, neighbors, and the usual Animal Crossing fare are still very present.
The trailer mainly shows the main character walking around the town, exploring the landscape with the gentle music playing in the background. New features for the franchise are also shown such as the new ability to swim as well as camping with other neighbors outdoors. All of those little things were nice to see, but the most interesting thing to see in the clip was the main character quickly dress as Link and pull out the Master Sword with the tri-force emblem in the background. I want to say that this confirms that Zelda’s 25th Anniversary will be present in the game, but as of now it is a bit too soon to tell. Much like many of the reveals by Nintendo, a date is still in question for this new Animal Crossing title, but going off the Zelda reference alone I would guess Holiday 2011.
I think Animal Crossing 3DS still has a lot to show for itself, as there is no way that Nintendo will leave out a streetpass/spotpass function as it fits with the function perfectly. Get a glimpse of the new trailer below.
Nintendo has announced at their E3 conference that Paper Mario will be folding itself into an upcoming 3DS game. The game itself appears to be a cross-between Super Paper Mario for Wii and the critically acclaimed Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door for the Gamecube.
Mixing the platforming of Super Paper Mario with the RPG elements of Paper Mario 1 and 2, Paper Mario 3DS looks to provide one hell of a gaming experience.
The series itself stands apart from other Mario games with it’s quirky gameplay and paper-like art style. Fans of the series have eagerly anticipated a return of the RPG element of the series after a somewhat disappointing outing in Super Paper Mario for the wii and it seems that Nintendo has listened.
We do not have a release date as of yet, but we thus far have an excellent trailer to keep you from tearing up with anticipation. Check it out below.
Today at E3 MasterAbbott was able to catch up with The Immortal Hulk Hogan and tag onto an interview for his up coming Xbox 360 Kinect Game Hulk Hogan’s Main Event.

Many months ago, a small clip surfaced on Nintendo’s Japanese website, displaying an all new Kirby game for the Wii. After a new trailer and announcement, Nintendo have finally revealed “Kirby Wii” (working title) for a future release on what else…The Nintendo Wii. This of course looks to be the same Kirby game that we seen displayed years ago as a tech demo for the Gamecube, with Kirby going back to his side-scrolling, enemy-inhaling roots in an all new adventure, although a lot looks to have been tweaked since then.
After watching the trailer, this game really seems to be a true sequel to Kirby 64 as the visuals, combat, and enemies all strike a great resemblance to the Nintendo 64 classic. New abilities are also earned by inhaling new enemies, such as a cowboy Kirby armed with a whip, a giant cleat ability allowing the pink fluff to destroy enemies with spiked shoes, and a “mega” attack that shoots a giant star out after several items are sucked up. Multi-player will also be featured in this game and judging from the trailer, up to four players will be able to control Kirby, a bandanna’d Waddle Dee, Meta-Knight & King Dedede in a New Super Mario Bros. style.
Sadly, we still have yet to receive a date for this new Kirby adventure. We do however have a new trailer though and once we receive a date or more news we will be sure to let you know.
While Mario Party 9 wasn’t actually announced until sometime after Nintendo’s E3 event, the news of everybody’s favorite party game returning is still a very pleasant surprise. Mario Party 9 is also headed to the Nintendo Wii sometime later this year, which is great to see considering the sparse amount of titles that the console has seen this year.
Along with an announcement, the game also received a trailer that shows many new mini-games in tow. Mini-games look to include Goomba bowling, button-controlled repelling, and several other Mario themed activities that are sure to pump some life into the famed franchise. Aside from the new mini-games, not much looks to have changed for Mario Party 9, but with this franchise change is rather unnecessary. You can check out the debut trailer below and once this title is officially dated, we will be sure to bring you an update so stay tuned.
The sequel to Fossil Fighters, as fans know was leaked several months ago. But at this year’s E3 it was officially announced and confirmed for a Holiday 2011 release date for the Nintendo DS.
The game is essentially pokemon but with dinosaurs, but that is by no means a bad thing. The game allows players to collect, clean and revive prehistoric fossils and battle their Vivosaurs against one another. Like pokemon, they can evolve and grow stronger as you play through.
The thing that stands out about Super Fossil Fighters is the battle system, which is based around strategic fights of 3 vs. 3 dinosaurs. The players can rotate the line-up of dinosaurs to maximize their power and take down their opponents. A trailer for the game can be found below.
505 Games have a lot to show off this year at E3, and the most dominate title in the line-up is without a doubt the upcoming Supremacy MMA. During E3, more details were revealed for the Supremacy MMA that show that this release of the popular sport is not to be messed with. There are quite a few features that set Supremacy apart from other contenders in the market, with the most prominent being the arcade-like speed, allowing for more action-packed match-ups with even more destructive results.
“From our first announcement of the game until now, Supremacy MMA has been the only MMA game to deliver true-to-the-sport-brutality and arcade-like speed, and we’re the only MMA game coming out in 2011,” said Ian Howe, President, 505 Games North America. “We know exactly who we are: M-rated and proud of it. We’ll drive that point home even further when we debut our brutal KO finishers and show off the depth of our movesets at E3.”
“We know exactly who we are: M-rated and proud of it.” I love to hear that line. It certain shows that Supremacy MMA know their target market and are ready to pull out all the cards to deliver the best product possible. MMA fans will also find comfort in knowing that familiar faces such as Jens Pulver, K1 kickboxing legend Jerome Le Banner, and the first real female fighters in an MMA game, Felice Herrig and Michele Gutierrez will all be fully playable, ready to deliver the “brutal” knockout blows.

Parrot, leaders in creating awesome flying things that you know you want, have taken the video gaming world by storm by creating the AR.Drone, the worlds first flying object in Augmented Reality, piloted through Wi-Fi. Today Parrot takes things up a notch by announcing that not only can you pilot the AR.Drone with iOS devices, but now you can also use Android, bada (Samsung) and Symbian (Nokia).
Android users will will find a free version of AR.FreeFlight’s pilot application by Parrot in July 2011 in the Android Market. At the same time, Playsoft Games – for Samsung – and Nokia used the Parrot AR.Drone Software Development Kit to develop “Free Flight” (bada) and “AR.Drone” (Symbian) piloting apps. The SDK’s allow new developers to create new applications for the AR.Drone across iOS, Android, bada or Symbian platforms.
In addition to more platforms, Parrot also announced more games and an international competition.
More Games: Challenge your piloting skills on your own customised circuits: zigzag your way through trees, inflatable pylons and donuts and race against the clock with AR.Race, a free customisable single or multi-player racing game for the AR.Drone. There will be more surprises to add to the growing catalogue of games for the AR.Drone soon.
And still to come, Parrot will launch a brand new game involving two players and a single AR.Drone.
More Interactions: A confrontation between the man and the machine, a track race where the target is not necessarily the one that we believe …Who will be the number 1 AR.Drone pilot in 2011? Parrot has set up the AR.Drone Challenges, an international competition (18 and over to apply) that will take place from June 24th till August 14th 2011 and will consist of three challenges for a chance to compete in the grand final in Paris in October 2011.
