Last week at E3 during Nintendo’s conference you may have heard that they will be offering The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for the DSiWare free of charge. This game would be playable on the 3DS of course as well as the DSi and DSiXL. One thing we didn’t know though was which game would actually be given out to gamers, as there are two versions of Four Swords.

Well Joystiq has managed to get a response from Nintendo that says that the game will be the GBA multiplayer title that was released alongside the A Link to the Past title for the GameBoy Advance. The game will be released sometime in September and hopefully we will see at least a few improvements to the title from its original GameBoy Advance version.

Hey you know that Tetris game you bought way back when it was released on the PlayStation Network all those years ago? Well EA and Sony have just announced that they have released a little update for that title, an update that will allow you to play your favorite block stacking game in 3D. Of course this means you also need a fancy 3D television and those expensive glasses to play it too. Guess it isn’t exactly a free update….

Either way this news also comes alongside a story from MSNBC that the Tetris Company will be localizing Hudson’s Tetris Axis for the 3DS in October of this year. This means that you will still be able to play Tetris in 3D eventually if you don’t have a television that costs roughly three times as much as your standard TV…

Despite no longer being an affiliate of Microsoft, Bungie isn’t forgetting about Halo by a longshot. Nor are they letting people forget that they have been around for almost twenty years now. Bungie Studios is celebrating their 20th anniversary by offering a variety of free items to their fans, the first of which being a free iOS app.

Anyone at the moment can pick up the app for free on their iOS device can pick up the content as well as a free add on for their in-game spartan, a blue flaming head. Other free things will be released between June 23rd and July 7th which is “Bungie Day.” They will also go into more detail about Bungie Aerospace in the upcoming weeks so stay tuned to hear more about that as information is revealed.

3DS Pokedex… What is it ?

During Nintendo’s press event at E3 2011, they announced that they have realeased the 3DS Pokedex. What is the 3DS Pokedex? It’s a free downloadable application on the 3DS which allows you to collect all the black and white pokemon through street pass. This means if you connect to an internet connection or street pass someone then you gain a new pokemon on your 3DS Pokedex. You can gain up to 3 a day.

As the name suggest the viewer allows you to see each black and white pokemon in 3D and also see their statistics and abilities. The pokedex can also utilise the AR viewer so that you can see pokemon on AR cards as well as maxamise your chances of getting particular pokemon you want by looking up the AR image on the internet. This application is extremely fun, I just wish it had the rest of the pokemon from previous generations on it as black and white pokemon are not my favorites. Perhaps Nintendo will update the 3DS pokedex eventually but I kind of wish they started with the first 150 and went up instead of the other way around.

Patrick Stewart Loaning Voice to War of the Worlds…

Patrick Stewart Loaning Voice to War of the Worlds…

War of the Worlds just got even better. Other Ocean Interactive announced today that they have gotten Patrick Stewart to loan his voice to the upcoming re-imagining for War of the Worlds, due out later this year on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. I think almost all of you should know who Sir Patrick Stewart is as he has done voicework for many of the Star Trek games, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and several other titles as well as playing the roles of Professor Charles Xavier in X-Men and Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: TNG.

“As a young boy, I remember watching the The War of the Worlds so many times I was quoting the lines,” said Stewart. “The alien invasion both terrified and fascinated me and the movie has stuck with me since then. Now, being part of this project will provide a new way for gamers around the world to experience a fresh new take on a classic.”

This news is huge for the game as Sir Patrick Stewart just seems to be clear choice for War of the Worlds and I can already imagine that deep and familiar voice narrating this artistic re-telling. Other Ocean have yet again proved they are pulling out all the cards for this release and without a doubt, War of the Worlds will be one title to keep an eye on as we get closer to it launching on both the XBLA & PSN.

Transformers Universe Trailer and Screenshots Released

Jagex in conjunction with Hasbro are releasing an MMORPG following the Transformers universe in Tranformers Universe, releasing in 2012.

The duo of companies has recently let us in on some assets that are related to the game, such as art and a video, which were also showcased at Botcon earlier this week. I quite like the art direction of this game as the Transformers themselves look closer to the versions shown in the recent cartoon (but still carry an unique awesome look) than the mechanical monstrosities found in the films.

Enjoy the art assests below and be sure to check out the embedded trailer for the game.

Rayman Origins Trailer is a colorful WIN!

The Rayman Origins trailer from E3 2011 is so colorful, it made my eyes bleed in joy.  Not only that, but my vocal chords literally screeched in delight.  Focusing on action platforming, the new Rayman certainly looks like a beatiful game that will be a sight to behold.

Rayman Origins launches at the end of this year for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii.  If you want to see some screenshots and interviews about the game, check the official website here: http://raymanorigins.uk.ubi.com/category/uncategorized/

Strapped into the Animus, you know it has your back.  After all, it has resurrected your time traveling memories countless times and it has helped you before when times get rough.  No permanent brain damage has yet occurred.  And yet, this time it feels different.

If the new trailer from Ubisoft is any indication, the above is exactly what you’ll be experiencing this Fall when Desmond takes his ancestor Ezio for their last ride together.  Check the spooky, creepy video below for more details.

Pretty crazy right?  This game looks to be even more epic than Brotherhood.  We didn’t see how it was possible, but now it appears that it is true.

Star Wars shall always burn eternal in many a person’s heart.  And with the announcement of Star Wars for the Kinect at the 2010 E3, most gamers felt that that flame would get brighter.

And so it was that Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference came and went but inside that press conference was a forceful video.  That gameplay video was: Kinect Star Wars.

Many feel good about the title. Many feel excited. Many feel happy.

Many feel confused. Many feel fear. Many feel anger.

Which path do you choose?
