Does this trailer, remind anyone else about Transformers? The trailer shows off many of the weapons being used against a whole series of robots and other enemies. Holding multiple weapons on your back, and having to carry multiple guns for the occasion is last generation, now one transforming gun can supply all the firepower we could ever need.
Vanquish releases on October 19th in the US, October 21st in Japan and October 22nd in the UK and Europe.
Enjoy the Video.

Do you live in Europe and do you plan on buying a DJ Hero 2 Bundle? Well then you are in luck. For a limited time, while supplies last (in Europe only) if you buy one of the two DJ Hero 2 bundles you will also snag a free copy of the orignal. You may be saying, “but why would someone be buying DJ Hero 2 without the original”; but the answer to that is, “why would they be buying a bungle if they already owned the first on and a DJ controller?”.
Make sure that you are picking up one of specially marked DJ Hero 2 Turntable or Party bundles. If you do get it the number of DJ Hero original mixes will be a total of 170.
DJ Hero 2’s Party Bundle comes with two turntable peripherals and a mic perfect for parties. The Turntable Bundle packages a copy of the game with a single turntable peripheral.
DJ Hero 2 is out in Europe on October 22nd, so pre-order now or pre-order soonn a Party or Turntable Bundle now or or risk missing out on your free copy of the first DJ Hero.
Spoiler Alert! If you want to stay completely spoiler free until the release of the game, you should walk away now. The game releases October 15th in the UK and Europe and October 19th in the US. By now!
For everyone else, the following video gives a lot of information away. Not the least is the fact that there are 44 playable characters, and 42 of them are revealed in the character selection screen. A 43rd character is rumored to be Zetsu (the black and white venus fly trap guy from the series) but I highly doubt it for certain reasons. Any theories on the the 44th character? I’m just looking forward to playing as the Fourth Hokage.
The Dubbed voice of Pain (or at least Nagato’s form) sounds really good.
Anyway, Check out the video for more details if you are interested.
Enjoy.

Along with the announcement came a nice new list of features.
The official date for the AU region is set at January 14th, 2011. No official date has been given for the U.S. at the moment but I would expect it to be set very close to that date as well.

As you can see, next week had 3 game releases; although on is free… so it doesn’t really count. If you notice, the schedule ends before the end of the month is even over. The latest one on the list being “Super Meat Boy” on October 20.
Also, remember that if you spend 2400 Microsoft Points over the course of October – on anything but discounted or DotW stuff – you’ll get 800 Points back. Ill make it easy for you. Comic Jumper, and Super Meat boy’ now go!

Tomatoes are amazing. Tomato based meals like pizza and spaghetti can also be enjoyed with friends. So what happens when a flying tomato, aka Shaun White, decides to make a video game and let you share it with friends? Worlds grow bright, cheery and full of skateboarding opportunities. You don’t believe me? Check it out! Who knew tomatoes could be so awesome?
Shaun White Skateboarding will enable you and 7 friends to skate four maps in four different multiplayer modes. Two player split screen will be provided. Voice chat and the ability to play as your custom character from the campaign will be included. The four multiplayer modes are as follows:
Go with the Flow
Go with the Flow is a free for all gametype that requires you to get the the highest flow score. I’m guessing that is similar to the “line” mechanic in SKATE. Form shaping* is allowed in this mode.
Shaping Battle
Shaping Battle is all about making as many shapes as possible. First though, a player must obtain the shaping power or steal it from someone.
Ministry vs. the Rising
The goal in Ministry vs. the Rising is to convert the highest number of people to your side. In case you were not aware, the story in this game tells about you, the Rising, freeing the city from the Ministry, a group of officials who think skateboarding (and most likely video games as well) will corrupt you. This team based mode splits your group up into a team of the Rising and the Ministry. Each side must try to either influence the city or “deinfluence” the city by doing cool tricks.
Free skate is the last mode, but that is pretty self explanatory. I am looking forward to this game. Hopefully it can do something original and exciting with skateboarding in video games.
*Form shaping is a unique game play mechanic in Shaun White Skateboarding. Each player can change the world around them by skating on an object and pressing a button. For example, a rail can be shaped and extended to reach rooftops. Or a fountain can be shaped into a half pipe.
Zombie Escape
Company: Chillingo
Updated: August 29, 2010
Price: $0.99
Story:
Zombie Escape….Well, you’re constantly escaping different zombie situations with a multitude of weapons and strategies. This may be called a line-drawer but it’s much more than that. You draw lines for the directions you want the humans to escape in, avoiding the zombies at all costs. You have different weapons to attack and stop zombies with and much more. The goal is to get the humans out of the zombie-infected areas alive. Will you make it or will your brains just be another zombie’s lunch?
Graphics and Sound:
The graphics in this game aren’t the best, but the game looks good anyway. The line-drawings could have looked a lot better and maybe more cartoonish, compared to everything else in the game. The lines look like they’re drawn by a cheap pen. The game does have some good graphics moments, such as the titles popping up when you do something and the entire color scheme. Other than that, the people and objects in the game can be too small to enjoy. Though the graphics might not be amazing, the cartoonish effects when you use an object against a zombie is fun to look at, making this one of those funny little games to play. If you’re expecting a major zombie game, then this probably isn’t for you as you don’t really see zombies. If the graphics were updated to see the zombies from a non-bird’s eye view then this game would probably be one of the greatest zombie games ever made for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The sound effects in this game are the high-point of Zombie Escape. It’s fun to here the humans being eaten by zombies and the whole scene is better with the soundtrack in the background. Helicopters sound great and everything else does, too. The sound distracts you from the not-so-great graphics.
Gameplay and Controls:
This is a fun game for those who like to escape situations. If zombie wasn’t in the title, it would just seem like a vampire-escaping game. Ok, maybe not, but it’s not a huge zombie game. The point of this game is to direct the humans to their means of escape, all while avoiding zombies who just want them for their brains. Simple game? No. This game gets difficult, and quickly. The controls are simple: Just draw a path for your human, to either escape or pick up a useful object on the way. Use these objects on zombies to escape quicker and easier. No matter how simple this sounds, it isn’t. This game can become intense with higher levels. To use an object, you first have to pick it up, by walking into it. Then, all you have to do is tap the object you want and then tap where you want to put it. That part’s simple, but the bar on the bottom that has all your objects is quite small, which makes it hard if you need an object really quickly. Sometimes you might not tap it just right and not end up choosing the object, which can be bad for intense situations. This is a fun game, but it can be improved by much.
Summary:
This game can use some major improvement, but it’s still a good game. If the line-drawing effect was improved to look more like the rest of the game and the zombies were more recognizable as zombies, this game woul be up there in the top zombie games. This is not the case, so until it’s updated if it ever is, this game is good, but not great. This game needs polishing. Chillingo usually releases top-grade quality apps, but they forgot some important aspects in this one. Hopefully, the score will be able to change with an update. For now, this game deserves a GOOD rating of 7.5 capsules. This score will improve when the game gets some well-needed polish.
