F.E.A.R 3 New Multiplayer Mode

Set to release on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows PC in 22 June (after a disappointing delay), F.E.A.R. 3 is introducing co-op play that hope to evolves the franchise, as well as varying multi-player modes.

Introducing F.E.A.R. 3’s “Soul King” multiplayer mode (see video below) In this mode, considered the most competitive multiplayer mode in the game, the goal is to harvest the most number of souls before the timer runs out. You’ll start as a spectre, capable of possessing enemies to gain the skills and weapons of the body they inhabit, which sounds trippy. While possessing a body, players will be able to collect souls through killing enemies, however, bots will involved as well to make things more difficult. This adds onto the other three modes named F**cking run, Soul Survivor and contractions, I like the first name – it’s just so blunt.

Nintendo Debuts First Trailer for Wii Play: Motion..

Have you ever had the urge to stack ice cream as tall as a skyscraper, shoot alien spacecrafts, or pull a Mary Poppins and jump into the wind with an umbrella? If you answered yes then you should be elated to know that Nintendo have officially released a trailer for the upcoming Wii Play: Motion.

I know what a lot of you are thinking. “Another PARTY game on the WII!!!!??”. I kind of had that opinion as well, but the clip released today actually makes the game look pretty decent. Using your Mii, players will compete in mini-games to best their competitors scores in several activities. Oddly enough, I can picture myself playing this title as it seems be just a simple game that will be easy to pick up and play, much like the first Wii Play. Wii Play: Motion launches next month but for now you can check out the trailer below and give us your thoughts in the comments section.

Modern Warfare 3 reveal trailer
Playable character Frost

Its finally here! After months of rumours, leaks and teasers, the official Modern Warfare 3 trailer has been released during the NBA Finals in the United States overnight.

The trailer certainly doesn’t disappoint, showcasing an impressive and epic gameplay trailer. Featuring battles from the four super countries around the world America, England, Germany and France, the trailer will certainly be a focal point until Infinity Ward releases more during E3 in June.

The leaked storyline, however is yet to be confirmed. Infinity Ward has reported they will conduct investigations on the staff member who released the plot before the proposed date.

The release date of 8 November worldwide has been confirmed by Sledgehammer.

Dead Island receives 11 minute gameplay walkthrough


Last week we were treated to a small teaser for Dead Island. We saw a very small amount of the zombies in motion during actual gameplay but we didn’t see legitimate gameplay from a player’s perspective. Today Techland has released an 11 minute long gameplay video that walks players through the quest To Kill Time.

The video is voiced over by Vincent Kummer, brand manager for Dead Island. In the video released by Gametrailers we are shown off a number of features, including weapon customization, combat, the quest system and even a few achievements are hinted at as we see progress meters appear regularly throughout the video. Dead Island is certainly a great looking title from what we have seen so far and hopefully we’ll see much more as the title is still set to be released August 1st for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Deathsmiles 2X available in Mexico and Canada on Tuesday

Deathsmiles 2X available in Mexico and Canada on Tuesday

Now last week Deathsmiles 2X was released in North America, or at least parts of North America. The game ended up being only available to those in the United States and the rest of the country was left in the dark. Over the weekend we learned that Cave was working with Microsoft in order to release the game to both Canada and Mexico and clear up the confusion.

It seems that confusion must have been cleared up because over on the Cave blog Makoto Asada has apologized to fans on the delay but has said that the game will be available tomorrow May 24th to Mexico and Canada. There was no word as to what the actual problem was with the release but it is good to see that the delay was quite short and that Cave’s first direct to Games on Demand release went off without much of a hitch.

L.A. Noire sales mark 58% Xbox 360, 42% PS3 in UK

Usually we don’t report on sales figures but with a game as amazing as L.A. Noire is, its something to look into. According to Chart Track L.A. Noire has sold 58% of its copies in the UK on the Xbox 360 with the PlayStation 3 taking the other 42% in sales. This isn’t quite as one sided as one would expect but it is interesting to see that the PlayStation 3 still has lower sales figures.

The reason this is interesting is two-fold. First the PlayStation 3 has had its recent troubles with the PSN being hacked, which means that some people still aren’t trusting the system entirely, and also with the PlayStation Store still down, all of that pre-order DLC isn’t redeemable yet. Also the PlayStation 3 version came exclusively with Consul’s Car Traffic Case with purchase, and it was only on one Blu-ray disc instead of three on the Xbox 360. Maybe times will get better for Sony down the line but with sales being slanted as they are, it isn’t a good sign of repaired trust.

Dungeon Siege III demo arriving next week for 360 users; June 7th everyone else

If you’ve been on the fence about Dungeon Siege III then you may want to keep reading because Square Enix and Obsidian have just announced that there will be a demo of the title released next week. Xbox 360 owners will be getting the demo next Tuesday on May 31st while PlayStation 3 users and Steam users will get the demo on June 7th.

This means that for PS3 and PC owners you’ll be downloading the demo right when E3 kicks off which means a lot of the press is going to be pre-occupied already with the event. At least this means you can play a few minutes every time there is a break in coverage from the website about the event.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions canceled in Sweden due to child pornography law

Yes you read that title correctly and you are right to feel a bit confused about what that means. First off, Dead or Alive: Dimensions which will be released in the US tomorrow, has been canceled in Sweden, Norway and Denmark by Nintendo themselves. The reason for this is apparently due to the fear of violating a child pornography law that Sweden implemented in the past.

Nintendo hasn’t given any official reason for the cancellation besides stating it as “various reasons” but Eurogamer states that this cancellation is most likely due to the fact that an online forum user noticed that Kasumi, Koroke and Ayane are all under 18 years old. In Sweden it is against the law to place anyone under the age of eighteen in a pornographic situation, whether they be real or virtual.

These three girls being under the age of 18 could violate the law due to the game’s “Figure Mode” that allows players to pose and view any of the characters in the game, including the women, as well as take pictures. In the end it seems that Nintendo is playing it safe, despite local Swedish police saying that the evidence of the crime itself was “inconclusive.”
