For Pac-Man’s 30th birthday, Namco Bandai is releasing Pac-Man Party for the Wii. Set in the theme of a birthday party, up to four players will be able to compete in mini games featuring cooperative and competitive play. Gamers of all ages are challenged in such games as eating and racing. Some other games included are: curling, tennis, golf and knocking your friends off a mountain (remeber, it is just a game.) Story mode will have you exploring all the game board worlds and unlocking items. Party mode will enable you, plus three others, to compete for the most points by building and developing properties on a given space. There will also be power up cards that will increase a characters size or speed. Finally, the original arcade versions of Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig-Dug will be available to play. Pac-Man Party is scheduled to be released later this year.
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.
Enjoy the video.
Immortality may seem like a blessing to some, but what happens after you have gained immortal life? You would slowly grow to dread it, much like Heinrich has over the years of being an executioner. Though what happens when a witch that you had executed years ago appears before you not only alive, but promising to break the curse of immortality that is plaguing you? That is exactly how the story appears to begin in this Knights Contract trailer released by Namco Bandai today.
With over the top fantasy violence combined with spectacular magical effects the team work we will be seeing next year when this game comes out appears to be stellar from the trailer. We are even introduced to what may be the main enemy of the game at the end when another mysterious witch appears in front of a young girl. Expect to see Knights Contract sometime next year on shelves everywhere. Catch the trailer below.
I recently spoke to Seth Killian, Special Advisor on Marvel vs Capcom 3 at Tokyo Game Show. Seth ran us through what to expect in terms of new characters, best characters to use for new comers and also veterans of the series, plus a whole lot more. Before the interview Seth and I sat down and had a challenge, we couldnt record this but let me tell you, it was close !! VERY CLOSE !! so close that Seth nearly destroyed me perfectly 😉 Just kidding it was a close match, being a hardcore Resident Evil fan I used Chris Redfield, Ryu and Dante from Devil’s May Cry to take down the man they call “Special Advisor” but sadly due to getting something in my eye and not knowing the button configuration on the arcade stick controller (look I’ve got to use some sort of excuse) 😉 Seth put me out of my misery.
This interview will answer quite a few questions for all you hardcore Marvel Vs Capcom 3 fans out there. Seth also explains how the game mechanics of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 are setup and how easy it is for new comers to pick up the game and get stuck into it straight off the bat. In the character department Seth advised that on the Capcom side, Viewtiful Joe the wolf from Okami, Tron Bonne are now playable characters. On the Marvel side, Dormammu, Thor and X23. I’ll let the interview explain the rest.
Enjoy the interview and screenshots below :
Let us know what you thought of the interview.
Pokémania is starting to re-enter the world yet again and one of the newest videos to go viral is a fan made trailer for the short live-action film “Pokémon Apokélypse”. Now before you disregard this clip as some cheap youtube video of the week and yes, it is a bit cheese-tastic, you should know that this trailer has some of the highest quality work I have seen made in a fan made live-action production for a video game in years which makes this clip a bit special.
This clip might be a bit mature rated for those who have kids in the room so just a bit of a disclaimer that this is not the Ash from Pallet town that we all know as the happy go-lucky tv series. Keep an eye out for the awesome references to the series as well as they add some cheesey hilarity to the otherwise very serious trailer. I personally think I Would buy 10 tickets to this masterpiece first day if it hit the big screens. Without further Ado, check out the amazing new re-imagination below!
Below you can find the Xbox Live schedule for the end of September and the beginning of October, as provided by Major Nelson. A majority of the schedule we already know, but there are some new details on that list, such as upcoming games on demand and avatar marketplace clothes.
As you may have seen we at Capsule Computers are quite excited about Krome Studios’ upcoming game Blade Kitten which is releasing on the PS3, 360, and PC this month. We even have an interview direct from the creator of Kit Ballard himself. If you act now you can pre-order Blade Kitten right now on Steam for $15 US. Not only that but if you pre-order from Steam you will be receiving her Gothic Costume which you can see below.
Blade Kitten is far more than your average side scrolling beat-em up. The game is driven along by a strong narrative and portrayed in an advanced Anime styled look which fans of the comic are sure to love and please those who are not fans. There are 19 different levels to be explored and fought through including many different bosses to face down and levels to ride Noot, an alien mount. The game itself is coming out tomorrow but you have a bit of time left to pre-order right now, or even to purchase the game just after release itself.
Pre-Order/Buy Blade Kitten on Steam Here.
Now when you think about Fable, you think about good and evil, an enormous fantasy world, swords, magic, dogs…. But what about the houses? If you were like me, you had to look for getting certain achievements in Fable 2 which involved making various real estate purchases and taking care of your property and modifying it even to make your tenants happy. However there wasn’t a whole lot of customization to be had in that mode was there?
Well Lionhead has just given us a new video that shows the new house customization system which will allow you to create the house of your dreams, or the house of your nightmares if you so wish. Quite literally everything inside the house is available for customization, and can be moved around and placed wherever you want them to be. While some players may not find this as a major addition, it will be great news to those who enjoyed the house system in Fable 2 and were hoping to see it expanded upon.
