Killzone 3 trailer brings the drama and struggle of war

It’s hard for a FPS to truly give a memorable storyline. Some games go for controversy so they are easily remembered, others simply put together a workable storyline so they can get on with the multiplayer. But then we have games like Killzone 3, where from the looks of the newest trailer, story will take a step to the forefront.

The newest trailer for Killzone 3 outlines the struggles that being in a war with the Helghast involves, and the fact that there may be a civil war brewing within the Helghast themselves. I don’t believe I’ve seen a video game teaser that brings the drama as hard as this one does; considering you could liken it to a movie trailer. The two leaders we see arguing from the Helghast are Malcom Mcdowell who takes the role of the Stahl Arms CEO and Ray Winstone who is the Heglhast Admiral. But don’t take my words for it take a look at the trailer below.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim cover contains a secret message

With only scant information about what The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will contain we have to take everything that we can get at this point. Thankfully Game Informer looks like they will be having a bit of new information coming in their February issue because they have just released their new cover. It shows an emblem of Skyrim which has been printed with an ultraviolet coating so that it will be a 3 dimensional look to the image rather than your standard print.

Also as you can see above the back of the cover contains something even more interesting. There is a strange language written in unknown characters that pertain to the story of Skyrim. They apparently relate to the trailer which was released when the game was first announced, but currently no one knows the answer. Some point later today however the information may be revealed so check back later for more info.

Next month on February 18th the Xbox Live House Party will begin. While this may not mean that any real party will be happening it will bring a slew of new titles to the Xbox Live Marketplace for download. But what games exactly will be released during this House Party? We now know that Beyond Good & Evil HD will be released during this time period so that will definitely tide the fans over. Also released during this time is Hard Corps Uprising, Bejeweled Blitz Live, and Full House Poker.

There is another game that is coming out on the Xbox Live Marketplace that will definitely be a sure hit however as Rubic Games has announced that Torchlight, which is a Diablolike RPG, will be making its release some point during the House Party releases. Apparently the game has been remade so that a PC title will fit perfectly with the Xbox 360 controller without much being lost in translation. Obviously we have no news of prices or exact dates but the good news is that they are still arriving.

Capcom Release New Trailer & Screens for Okamiden…

We are just a couple of months away from Capcom’s Okamiden, and as we near the release date, Capcom have released some brand new screenshots from the game as well as a new trailer. In the screens (which you can check out below), eager fans can get a first glimpse of a music based mini-game that looks to fit in perfect with the title’s unique art style and characters. As you can see in the pics, it looks that the stylus based calligraphy brush will come into good use for this Okamiden as much as it was used in Okami which is great to see.

I would say the story to really talk about here though is the new trailer. In the clip, we see the first meeting of Chibiterasu and the game’s main (human) character, Kurow. After a brief stare-down and bit of dialogue, Kurow quickly jumps onto the pup’s back as they run off together, which I am guessing is where the story takes off.Kurow seems like a tough and interesting character and I am looking forward to seeing how the story plays out between the two.

Okamiden is building up to be one of 2011’s best looking portable releases this year and on March 15th, Chibiterasu and Kurow will both be in tow as the game hits shelves overseas. Check out the trailer for yourself below and you can also visit the Japanese site for even more artwork and gameplay footage by clicking here.

Zombie Infection 2 Out Now On Java Based Mobile Devices

Gamesloft the makers of top-quality and dare I say awesome mobile games, now brings us ‘Zombie infection 2’ for JAVA based mobile devices. It’s a sequel to 2008’s ‘Zombie infection’ which later spawned a 3D remake on the popular iPhone, swapping the top-down side scroller to a full 3D third person shooter.  Zombie infection 2 for the mobile sports the same look and feel of the first game, but with sharper visuals and improved controls case and point look at the explosions!

The setting of the game has moved from the urban environments of the first game to the dense tropical jungles of Brazil with levels varies between the jungles, mines and secret labs. Unsurprisingly, the game features a lengthy story mode featuring three playable characters each providing different gameplay scenarios, for example stealth and vehicle sections, in search of the source and a cure of the infection. The story is initiated well with cut scenes and a fully fledged storyline, interesting characters and situations helps to keep the action flowing at a good pace. Gamers looking for a quick action fix will be pleased by the game’s quick play option, allowing for quick and easy access to the zombie shooting fun. More weapons have been included this time including the flamethrower and melee weapons.

Hopefully like its predecessor, we’ll soon see Zombie infection 2 on the iPhone/iPad sometime in the near future but untill then Zombie infection 2 is avalable now for download at gameloft.com for $5.95

    Australian Youtube Personalities Creating LBP2 Levels

    LittleBigPlanet 2 is scheduled to hit Australian shelves on January 20th 2011 (January 19th in the US, and January 21st in Europe) exclusively on the PS3. In order to pump up the fans even more, Sony in Australia has decided to call on the help of some famous Astralian Yotube legends. All three of these youtubers will compete against each other to see who can create the best LPB2 level.

    These YouTubers are: TV presenter and music aficionado Danny Clayton; reviewer, gaming fan and respected YouTube commentator Blunty3000; and Christiaan Van Vuuren, aka The Fully Sick Rapper, who spent a solid six months quarantined in hospital with a rare strain of Tuberculosis and thankfully came out the other side with a clean bill of health, as well as a web series and cult following to show for it.

    These three have come up with some awesome ideas for their own LittleBigPlanet 2 levels and they want Australian fans to get involved to help them play, create and share like never before. Check out Danny and Blunty’s videos at the Official Australian LittleBigPlanet YouTube Channel to hear their crazy (and sometimes bizarre) thoughts. Also, comment on LPB2’s YouTube channel and PlayStation’s Australian Facebook page to tell them what you want to see as part of the brave participants’ levels and see which of your ideas they make happen.

    While you guys are at it you can check out trailers and other cool content in the lead-up to the release of the first PlayStation 3 blockbuster for 2011. For more on LittleBigPlanet 2 check out the YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/littlebigplanet2au and join the fun on PlayStation’s Australian Facebook page at www.facebook.com/playstationau

    Monster Hunter Freedom 3 Sells 4 Million copies in Japan…

    Monster Hunter Freedom 3 Sells 4 Million copies in Japan…

    I think it is easy to say that in Japan, the Monster Hunter series is just about as big as Pokémon these days. Capcom recently announced that since it’s release of December 1st in Japan, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (or Monster Hunter Freedom 3 as it will be known upon it’s overseas release) has sold over 4 Million copies. Capcom also stated that the series is now up to 17 million units shipped worldwide, which is a huge success overall. Monster Hunter Freedom 3 is also now the fastest selling PSP title ever as of today due to the huge numbers.

    With the pending U.S. release of a new 360 title and already the success of Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, it is great to see this series get the respect it deserves. I am curious of how well Freedom 3 will sell overseas when it is released later this year as the PSP seems to finally have a system selling franchise under it’s belt. Either way though, at 4 Million is just a little over a month, there is no doubt that PSP owners all over the world are now going to take notice for when Monster Hunter Freedom 3 launches everywhere later this year.
