Rockstar, you know how to generate hype about everything that you do, and this piece of DLC is no different. With L.A. Noire gaining a massive following just a month after release, Rockstar and Team Bondi have promptly released a new case for all fans to curb their need for more Cole Phelps.

The Nicholson Electroplating Disaster arson case is now available for download on Playstation Network for $6.95AUD ($7.90NZD) and on Xbox Live for 320 Microsoft Points. If you somehow haven’t heard what this case is all about, we’ll give you a brief rundown now: a devastating explosion at the Nicholson Electroplating Plant has rocked downtown Los Angeles, and it’s up to Phelps and Biggs to uncover the truth behind the explosion. Is it simply an accident, or is there more than meets the eye? And of course, any fan of L.A. Noire would know it is most certainly going to be the latter.

There will be a review of the DLC available later on this week. In the meantime, check out the trailer for the case here or read about the real-life crime that inspired Rockstar’s latest content for L.A. Noire.

Rise of Nightmares may finally make you use your Kinect again

Many of us can admit to buying a Kinect and then never using it. Some others may still use them everyday for their kids. Rise of Nightmares though is going to be a game you will want to keep away from your children. Not because you are afraid of them being scared by the title but because you won’t want to stop playing it.

We recently saw an E3 trailer for the game that was mostly a teaser, but this time around we see full on gameplay as well as find out a little bit about the storyline. Rise of Nightmares is going to be a core Kinect title that will make full use of the Kinect’s capabilities. This, plus the trailer shown today makes Rise of Nightmares my most anticipated Kinect title this year. Bit odd that SEGA is the studio to bring us the first M rated Kinect title though, but bravo to them!

PopCap Games announced that they will be bringing Bejeweled 3 to consoles and handhelds later this year. Some time in the last quarter of 2011, Bejeweled 3 will be arriving on the DS, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There isn’t much to be said about Bejeweled other than the fact that it is perhaps one of the funnest and most distracting game you can get your hands on. The game will be released in a retail version for the DS and as a digital download for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

PopCap says that Bejeweled 3 will have twice as many game modes than previous titles and will also have eight seperate minigames. The graphics and audio will be redone to look better on console versions as well. No pricing was announced for the game, but it will most likely fall within the ten to fifteen dollar range.

Binary Domain gets a story trailer

If you were curious as to what the storyline for Binary Domain was, then the newly released trailer should help shed some light on your confusion. It seems that Binary Domain will be going down the route of robots turning on their human masters after subverting themselves far enough into the structure of humanity that they were able to completely uproot them.

From the little that I saw of the game at E3, the title looks quite impressive, even in these early stages of development. The robots are not going to be easy to destroy and can continue to fight even after they have had limbs removed… including their head. Even though a bit cliché the storyline could easily work wonders when the game is released next year.

Catherine or Katherine in the latest English trailer

Back at E3 Atlus asked everyone in attendance to make a choice with their badge holders. They could either have Catherine facing out or Katherine. Now some people may have just removed their badge holders and avoided the choice altogether. But one person who definitely can’t ignore that question is Vincent himself, especially in the latest trailer.

In this trailer we see Vincent right in the middle of both main female characters in the game. Depending on the choices you make in the game you will receive different endings, exactly what these endings will be has yet to be seen in the English version but I definitely wouldn’t want to be in Vincent’s shoes right now. Catch the trailer below and Catherine when it is released at the end of July for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier beta begins January 2012

Ubisoft announced via Twitter (yay… twitter) that they will be launching a beta for their upcoming game Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and that it will begin some point in January 2012. The beta will be for the multiplayer portion of the game only and there was no word as to whether or not this will mean that the Kinect support shown off at E3 will be available in the beta.

One thing you should remember however, if you purchased Splinter Cell: Conviction way back when you still can participate in the beta, and it will require that game’s disc to access it. Hopefully we can expect more details about the beta in the months to come, and hopefully no more delays for the actual game itself.

Onechanbara 2 listed for 360 release in 2012 by Play.com

A few years ago a strange game was released for the Xbox 360 by D3 Publisher, the game involved zombies, swords, and women in bikini’s who killed them. Titled Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad it was released in 2009 and most likely slipped under the radar for most people, but it was definitely one of the oddest yet funnest experiences you can have involving zombies and swords.

Now fast forward to today and the UK retailer Play.com has placed up a listing for Onechanbara 2 with February 2012 as a release date on the Xbox 360. So far D3 Publisher has had no comment about the continuation of the Onechanbara series in the West, though we have reached out to the company for any possible insight about this listing.

Update:
Michael Cerven from D3 Publisher responded to Destructoid involving the posting. He had the following to say about the listing.

“Regarding the news in Europe, unfortunately there is not much to say. We have an amazing fan base that are huge fans of the Onechanbara games and we would love to do another game but at this time there isn’t any new announced Onechanbara game in the works.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops Limited Edition with DLC listed by GameStop

If you have waited this long to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops then I tip my hat to you for holding yourself back against all of the hype. But perhaps now will be one of the best times to head out and buy Black Ops. This is because a listing was recently found on GameStop.com that there will be a new version of Black Ops released next week, and that it will come with bundled DLC.

The listing specifically says “Call of Duty: Black Ops Limited Edition with DLC” and that it will be coming out on June 28th for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $60. The pages do not say what DLC will be included, if not both, and Activision has yet to release any bundle of this sort so we have contacted them to see if they can help shed some light on the validity of this bundle.
