Look totally awesome on the bus while playing Drums Challenge!

Now that the Playstation Store is back up, eager developers are ready to start publishing their games once more.  One of our favorite developers, Sanuk Games, has announced that their newest Playstation Mini Drums Challenge, on PSP and PS3, is now available for download in Europe.  Other regions will hopefully be available soon.  If your into rocking out hard, this game looks crazy fun.

Maybe it is just the hilarious video (below) but I am starting to feel like this game may beat out Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  I could just be laughing too hard though. Seriously, watch the video and then tell me that you don’t want to play the game. I dare you!  You can’t do it.

Look for our review of the game, coming soon.

Reborn! Anime now streaming on Viz Anime site

After over 6 months of the English translated version of the Reborn! manga being on hiatus, Viz Media now has returned it’s support to the series by announcing a weekly streaming of the series Anime adaptation, with 5 episodes being released each Wednesday in the US, uncut and subtitled.

This has come after much confusion upon whether Viz would drop the series since the hiatus began. This can be considered a good sign for fans as Viz also announced they had licensed the anime for both distribution and streaming, hinting at a potential English dub of the series. Fans have taken to Viz Media’s facebook page in a show of support for the series and Viz Media, you too can jump in on the action here.

Reborn! tells the tale of a young japanese boy, Tsuna, who is told by an professorial hitman (who happens to be a toddler) that he is next in line to become the 10th Generation boss of the Vongola Mafia Family. As all other heirs were killed off by some circumstance or another and he is related to the first boss in some, distant, hardly related kind of way.  This baby hitman, is tasked with training Tsuna to become the 10th generation boss, he is destined to become. Needless to say, it is pretty great.

Viz will be streaming the series only to US residents with currently the first 5 episodes online, but Aussies can view all 203 episodes on Crunchryoll. So don’t worry everyone gets a piece of the Reborn! pie.

Happy Feet 2 is coming soon to thaw your cold heart

Personally, I did not even know there was a Happy Feet 2 movie coming out.  But now I do know, and I think I am a little better for it.  What say you all?

Anyway, with that out of the way, lets get onto the main announcement: a Happy Feet 2 video game to complement the dancing, musical, penguiny movie.

From Warner Brothers, this game is “a 3D musical adventure game for the entire family inspired by the whimsical Antarctic world of the upcoming animated film. It will be available for purchase on the Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo 3Ds.   The best part of the game?  A  musical score scored by Three Time Grammy Award Winning Band Ozomatli.  I don’t really know anything about them, but that is one swimmingly good name eh?

“In Happy Feet Two – The Videogame, kids will not only love playing on their own, they will have even more fun playing side-by-side cooperatively with friends and family members, or compete in penguin dance showdowns and belly sliding races,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game’s all new, controller-based dance system uses the player’s rhythm to enhance the dancing competitions, and the gameplay lets kids interact with their favourite characters from the film.”

Other Ocean Interactive Announce War of the Worlds for the PSN & XBLA!

Other Ocean Interactive, creators of titles such as Dark Void: Zero & the XBLA port Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, announced today that they are currently working on War of the Worlds for the XBLA & PSN. Yes, we all know the famous films inspired by the novel that were released, but this title is unlike anything I could have imagined.

The first thing you should know is that War of the Worlds is set to be a dark, 2D cinematic platformer that pits players in the role of a common, lone person as they struggle for survival during an alien invasion in a 1950’s era London. Players must use their wit to outsmart an army of alien tripods and other menacing war machines as they attempt to traverse through the devastated setting. Other Ocean have said that this new imagining of the franchise will pay homage to other classic cinematic platformers such as Flashback, Out of This World and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.

“As a developer, we are extremely fortunate to have access to this beloved franchise,” said Mike Mika, Head of Development with Other Ocean Interactive. “The team and I are huge fans of the original rotoscoped cinematic platformers of early PC gaming. This is a dream project for everyone on the team. Having the ability to approach the game in a completely retro way and pay homage to one of our favorite periods in gaming is more than we could ask for.

From the sounds of it, War of the Worlds is looking to bring a completely breathtaking atmospheric experience into the famed tale and the fact that the game is targeted to a retro-fanbase is just icing on the cake. War of the Worlds makes it’s debut this summer to the XBLA & PSN. Once a trailer or new details/screenshots eventually emerge, we will be sure to let you know so stay tuned.

Neverdead E3 2011 trailer

A game Konami showed a trailer last year of a game where you play as a character who can’t die. Characters who can’t die in a game, interesting concept indeed. So with a new E3 means new details on some games and we get some new info and a trailer on this new third person shooter Neverdead. This game is heading out for the 360 and PS3 later this year.

Bryce Boltsman is an immortal man who not only can use a gun and a sword but his body parts to help him get though some tough sections. That’s right he attacks people with his body parts. Bryce has it rough in the trailer loosing limbs, getting shot, electrocuted , and fighting crazy monsters. The game is defiantly looking interesting and not to mention this trailer features a track from heavy metal giants, Megadeath. Very fitting I think, if you want to take a look at all the crazy action then take those limbs that are still attached to your hands and check out the trailer below.

This long awaited deal was cemented today with the release of three new titles to the classic download service, those being Wing Commander: Privateer, Dungeon Keeper and Ultima Underworld 1+2, all at a nice low price of just $5.99.

Three games have also reared their heads on the “Coming Soon” section of the website marking the future releases of Crusader: No remorse, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri and Magic Carpet. However, it was also announced that this new agreement “doesn’t include the much anticipated System Shock or Syndicate series at this time”. The rest of the EA classics will be releasing later this summer to the service.

Frogger, for his 30th anniversary has decided to come back in three dimensions with Frogger 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. Frogger 3D will feature all-new graphics, new level design and six worlds to explore with over 60 challenging stages. Explore New York, the Far East and even other dimensions.

In Single Player mode, you’ll have to dash, jump and duck past life-threatening hazards. Players will have all new elements and environments to maneuver through as Frogger makes his way up skyscrapers, and even crossing a sushi bar while avoiding predators.
Players can also show off their skills in Street Pass battles where the object is to avoid becoming road-kill by scooting past speeding vehicles zooming along multiple lanes of opposing traffic. In Forever mode, you’ll  get Déjà-vu when looking at the maps but the friendly confines of Frogger’s safety zones are removed. Players will have to progress through infinite boards as they try to attain Frogger immortality and land in the top spot on Street Pass rankings. Players will also be able to change up gameplay by competing in 4 player matches.

First introduced in 1981, Frogger is widely considered a classic and was noted for both its novel gameplay and theme. For more information about Frogger and its 30th Anniversary celebration activities, please visit konami.com/frogger.
