There is more to Splatterhouse than just a whole bunch of blood and everything else contained within a living, or unliving body. But what lies underneath all of that splatter? Well a normal house that is, and most likely tons of other places. Ironically this is the first time that there hasn’t been a screenshot that is full of blood or a gore covered protagonist.
Catch the screenshots below, and marvel at the fact that Rick can appear with a whole body, and wonder who that picture could be of. Though we will find out November 23rd when it hits the PS3 and 360.
A while back, we told you about the upcoming Babysitting Mama for the Nintendo Wii. Unlike other “Mama” games, Babysitting Mama comes with a baby plush which you insert the WiiMote into and interact with the game’s many activities. Featuring in-game boy and girl babies to choose from and more than 40 activities to enjoy such as rocking, bouncing, feeding, bathing, changing, playing with the baby and many more, Babysitting Mama looks to be the perfect game for families this upcoming holiday season.
In honor of the new title, Majesco has launched a full website to promote the game which you can check out at www.babysittingmama.com. On the new site, you can play a baby racing mini-game, watch a gameplay trailer, and get cool downloads featuring gaming’s favorite mama. Babysitting Mama is set to release November 5th exclusively for Wii.

Big surprise! Halo Reach has some DLC coming out for it on November 30th and it has been called the Noble Map Pack. The contents of the pack will be three different maps called Tempest, Breakpoint, and Anchor 9. Tempest contains two symmetrical bases, Breakpoint is a frozen lab base, and Anchor 9 is an orbiting space hanger held by the UNSC. Tempest and Breakpoint are for 8-16 players and Anchor 9 is for 2-8.
The cost for these packs will be 800 MSP ($10). Also coming with the maps are 250 more Gamerscore points, though no words on how many achievements will make up that number.
More details on the maps below:
Tempest – “Though we may never fully understand these devices, it is not our nature to leave ancient stones unturned.” This abandoned shoreline facility bends both sea and sky to an unnatural purpose, but the ground itself has quickly become another all too familiar battlefield. Though the two opposing symmetrical bases may never reveal their ancient purpose, both now offer makeshift shelter and access to strategic routes perfectly suited for small and large scale skirmishes alike. Tempest supports 8 – 16 players and offers a variety of modes including Free for All, Team Slayer, Team Objective and Big Team Battle. Tempest also provides players with a huge Forge palette, allowing them to create new custom map variants that can be shared with the community-at-large.
Breakpoint – “ONI officials believe the data buried within this artefact is key to our survival.” Atop this icy precipice, the Invasion continues. These modular archaeological labs were never intended to withstand such a large scale onslaught of Covenant military power, but the information being extracted here may prove vital to humanity’s survival. In response to the imminent Covenant threat, UNSC ground and air assets have been deployed to bolster entrenched Spartan countermeasures. This dig site must yield salvation, or it will become a grave. Breakpoint offers multiplayer mayhem for 8-16 players, and supports the Invasion and Big Team Battle game variants
Anchor 9 – “Orbital dockyards provide rapid refuelling and repairs for a variety of UNSC vessels.” Within the confines of this low orbit dry-dock, UNSC craft undergo rapid repair and rearmament in support of the enduring war effort. But for the small squads of infantry who now fight over the mirrored interior hallways and open central hangar bay, this platform no longer provides any safe harbour – whether the close quarters combat is occurring inside or out of its artificial gravitational field. Anchor 9 allows 2-8 players to face off in game variants including Free for All, Team Slayer and Team Objective
Redbox is an awesome “store”, and it is a unique plus cheap way to rent DVDs. Apparently, it is pretty successful as well and is now offering video games and Blu Ray discs. Although some select locations have already offered these, every location will soon be able to enjoy these forms of media. However, these “advanced” entertainment options will cost you an extra dollar a day. It may take awhile to implement the stocking of every kiosk, but you can check your location here to see if you get lucky.
Sega has released a brand new trailer for Conduit 2 and the game is looking better than ever. In the clip, you can get a first look at the detailed locations, vast array of high-tech weaponry and even a look at how multi-player will work with the split-screen mode. This could be the Wii’s big shooter for 2011 and developer High Voltage and Sega seem to be pulling out all the stops to make this sequel one to watch for when in launches in February of next year. Check out the new trailer below and let us know your feedback in the comments section. We will be sure to bring you more news on Conduit 2 as the release looms closer.
It’s great to see a company give back to its fans. Especially when they give back with a completely free upgrade to a Signature Edition for a game that you otherwise would have pre-ordered anyways. Yep you are hearing me right. If you happen to pre order Dragon Age II anytime before January 11, 2011 then you are in luck as you will have your standard edition upgraded to the Signature Edition free of charge.
This Signature Edition comes with the features you see above, including a downloadable code for an additional character and new missions, a digital version of the game’s soundtrack, and an armory in game that features a plethora of different weapons you can use to help buff your party out right from the get go.
Bioware’s statement for the special edition comes from Dr. Ray Muzyka; Senior Vice President of EA and co-founder and Group General Manager of Bioware;
“Over the past 15 years, we’ve been privileged to have the support of a passionate community of fans, who continue to grow in number with every game we release,. “The BioWare Signature Edition of Dragon Age II is a chance for us to reward loyal fans who pre-order the game by providing them with additional high-quality content for free.”
The estimated cost of all the free content you receive from pre-ordering comes to around $20. So basically if you had any thoughts of pre-ordering the game then now is the time to do it. That way when March 8th rolls around you will be picking up your Signature Edition Dragon Age II for the PS3, 360, or PC without paying a dollar more.
This bonus is available in the US, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and a handful of unnamed European countries. The pre-order itself can be made at either Gamestop, Amazon, Electronics Boutique or the EA store. But don’t worry if none of these are available to you as more will be announced later on.
With only five days until the Fallout: New Vegas comes out in the US and a week away for the UK Bethesda and Obsidian have given us yet another developer diary bringing the count to five. Of course without the feature they describe in this video, then New Vegas wouldn’t even be deserving its title.
Thankfully though this dev diary shows off the Vegas Strip, or at least how the strip would look like after the nuclear apocalypse and lead artist Joe Sanabria says that the strip “is where we put most of the work in terms of design.” This just shows how much emphasis the developing team placed upon The Strip and even details the fact that debauchery is rampant on The Strip.
Featuring soldiers and others “walking around in drunken stupors, puking on the sidewalks, dancing naked in fountains, that sort of thing.”
At the “World of Capcom” panel at New York Comic Con, Keiji Inafune the creator of Mega Man, revealed to the audience that Mega Man Legends 3 will be developed with the fans help. Developer room, which is a whole new section of Capcom-Unity, will allow fans to vote and comment on what goes into the game. The first chance to vote, is on the design of the heroine of the game. This is quite a nice feature Capcom has and I might just vote because I am excited for the game.
