Square Enix’s newest Final Fantasy game will be released outside of Japan after all. And not just that but it will be seeing a complete worldwide release next year in 2011. The name may have not changed at all, and will still be called Dissidia 012[duodecim] Final Fantasy, which is the sequel to the previous Dissidia game. There is a bit of extra information as to why the 12 was added however.
The Duodecim means 12 in Latin and refers to this being the twelfth battle between the Chaos and Cosmos. Both good and evil characters will join together and fight one another in battle. Not only that but three new characters have already been confirmed; Lightning, Kain, and Tifa.
Beyond the three already announced characters, players will be able to experience both the Chaos and the Cosmos storyline and experience many new additions to the series which you can see below:
Combining all-out brawling alongside RPG-style character development and customization, the creators of the FINAL FANTASY and KINGDOM HEARTS series take fighting gameplay to another level.
New Assist Mode – Choose your own ‘Assist’ character to give you back-up in battle
Battle with exciting new characters including Kain (FINAL FANTASY IV) and Lightning (FINAL FANTASY XIII)
New Chaos storyline and story missions to battle through
Look out for more surprise new features and characters to be revealed in the coming months
Here’s a new trailer for Worms: Battle Island, THQ’s new strategy game that’s set to hit the Wii in November.
Unlike THQ’s previous Wii effort, Worms: A Space Oddity, this game will feature online multiplayer. That’s right, up to 8 players over Nintendo Wi-fi, which should make for some good times. It will also feature a bulky single-player quest with 30 missions and 30 puzzle challenges to work your way through. Additionally, there will be something called War Room, which presents you with the option to customise weapons.
Although it was originally announced as a WiiWare title, it has now been confirmed as a full retail release. Check it out below!
What Would CHUCK Do ?? ..... Easy ..... SMASH EVERYTHING !! 😉
It was only a matter of time before the walking dead reached the sunny shores of Australia and this evening the Zombies arrived in typical horde fashion, but not to eat our brains but to watch an advanced preview of Resident Evil : Afterlife in 3D VMAX and then to play the soon to be released Zombie masterpiece Dead Rising 2.
The event took place in Sydney at Bondi (Westfield Shopping Centre) and was hosted by the Capcom’s partner THQ Australia. The THQ guys made sure everyone had a great night and the Zombies were fed the right amount of alcohol and Dead Rising 2 so they wouldn’t turn on the regular humans mingling amongst them.
A whole lot of prizes were given away, some lucky people walked away with PS3 Consoles and also copies of Dead Rising 2. The rest of us picked up some cool Resident Evil goodies (Chris Redfield, Sheva and Executioner action figures) to coincide with the Resident Evil : Afterlife movie.
MasterAbbott and Deathdude222 managed to pull off some cool Zombie shots .. Don’t ask us how but seems like the Zombies were very happy to co-operate and not eat our brains this evening. (I think it was because they were able to get their decaying hands on Dead Rising 2) .. Note .. Next time you see a Zombie, let them play Dead Rising 2 .. If they stop and play then you’re cool. If they don’t then run for the hills !!
Dead Rising 2 = HAPPY Zombie !!Make sure you pre-order your Dead Rising 2 and you too can have Zombies like this at your place !!
Special thanks once again to the THQ guys for organizing this great event. The Capsule Computers crew had a fantastic time. Resident Evil AFTERLIFE was surprisingly good and the hands on time with Dead Rising 2 was totally awesome !! Make sure you pre-order your copy now if you haven’t already done so.
Ummm... hmmm what do you want me to say here ?? sometimes it's better you just look the other way and pretend you never saw it 😉
Capcom’s ZOMBIE Masterpiece Dead Rising 2 will be unleashed upon the world in September. Fishpond have one of the best deals out at the moment. Check them out below : Xbox and PS3 versions !!

PopCap Games has announced a partnership with NCsoft to bring online and mmo games to Korea later this year. This new project called “PopCap World” is the first game coming out of PopCap’s Shangai studio. “PopCap World” will launch with 13 of PopCap’s games including Bejeweled, Plants vs. Zombies and Zuma. “Super Zuma” will be an exclusive game for the service and is described as “an all new multi-player experience.” All the games will be free with the option to pay for premium content. Although “PopCap World” was only announced for Korea, it appears that Popcap Games has very big plans. James Gwertzman, PopCap’s Vice President for Asia/Pacific, said, “When Disneyland first opened, it revolutionized the amusement park industry and ushered in the era of the modern theme park. In the same way, we believe PopCap World has the potential to redefine casual games in Korea and beyond by offering players the most immersive PopCap experience yet. Our announcement today is just the beginning. We are very excited about our partnership with NCsoft – their formidable presence in the online market combined with PopCap’s leadership in the casual and social spaces makes for an interesting recipe that we look forward to serving up to players in Korea – and beyond.”

MasterAbbott (Philip Federico) and Creative Director Of Microsoft Kinect Kudo Tsunoda at Tokyo Game Show
Tokyo Game Show 2010 was totally fantastic this year. My final interview of at Tokyo Game Show was with “THE MAN” behind Microsoft’s soon to be released revolutionary gaming peripheral “Kinect” General Manager & Creative Director Kudo Tsunoda. Let me start by saying Kudo is one of the most down to earth and nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure in meeting and interviewing here at Capsule Computers. In the interview Kudo explains what Kinect is (for anyone out there that still doesn’t know) how it works and how easy it is to control your Xbox 360 without a controller, to what we can expect from Launch along with many other cool things.
After the interview I had to give Kinect a try and let me tell you I was totally blown away !!! It’s VERY responsive and the tracking of your motions back onto the screen is super quick. I tested out Sega’s Sonic skateboard racer and Kinect Adventures and both were great fun. Let me say that after 5 mins of playing, I’d already burnt off my lunch 😉 Kinect is certainly a fantastic concept that can be enjoyed by all no matter how old you are.
Check out the interview and also the screenshots of MasterAbbott Playing Kinect :
Capsule Computers would like to thank Kudo for taking the time to answer our questions and run us through how Kinect works. We wish Microsoft and Kudo’s Team the best of luck with the release of Kinect.
Below you can check out the launch trailer of CodeMasters’ most recent addition to the racing genre, F1 2010. The game actually released today in the US, an Europe readers will have to wait until September 24th to get their hands on this game.
