EA recently revealed their plans to bring out Madden NFL to the 3DS with traditional 11-on-11 games or the more fast paced 5-on-5. The publisher has now released quite a few more details (as well as the shiny new logo above) for the title which is looking to be a launch title on the Nintendo 3DS.

Details are as follows:

• NFL Football in 3 Dimensions—Experience all the drama of Madden NFL with 3D graphics. Madden NFL Football brings the NFL to life like never before with a presentation optimized for 3Dviewing, including 3D specific cameras that provide all-new levels of depth.

• Authentic Madden NFL Experience— Madden NFL Football delivers all 32 NFL teams and stadiums in 3D graphics, making Madden NFL Football the perfect on-the-go game for every football fan.

  • Football for Everyone—With three types of playcalling—GameFlow, Arcade and Classic—Madden NFL Football offers an enjoyable experience for gamers of all skill levels. The GameFlow feature automatically selects the best play for the situation based on authentic NFL team gameplans. Use Arcade playcall for more control over plays or Classic to experience the full depth of your favorite team’s authentic playbook.
  • Season Mode—Take the reins of your favorite team on a journey to the Super Bowl! Play 11-on-11 or 5-on-5 and see if you have what it takes to make it through the rollercoaster ride of a full NFL season.
  • Action Packed 5-on-5 Mode—In addition to the traditional 11-on-11 games, Madden NFL Football puts a new twist on an old style of competition. Take your game back to the neighborhood with high-scoring, fast-paced 5-on-5 action. No penalties, no play clock, just action-packed football where the first team to score a set number of touchdowns walks away with ultimate bragging rights!
  • Call Your Shots—Unleash the amazing power of the Nintendo 3DS Touch Screen to draw up your own plays on the fly! Whether on offense or defense, you can create the ultimate audible at the line of scrimmage.
  • Spotlight Moments— Experience the drama of game-changing plays with Spotlight Moments in 3D. During pivotal moments, cameras move in tight and gameplay slows down to allow you to influence the biggest plays of the game. Whether evading a sack, making an open field tackle, or leaving a defender in the dust, it’s up to you to make the key move when Spotlight Moments put you in the limelight.

I have said it before, I don’t care too much for most sports titles, but Madden NFL is showing a lot of promise not just for a gamer like me, but anyone who is planning on picking up a 3DS. EA’s ground up approach is starting to look better each day and I can’t wait to see how this one plays out. On another note, with all of this information coming forth as of late for 3DS titles, I am starting to think the announcement of the price and date for the 3DS itself should be very soon so…stay tuned? For now though, we have yet another title to look forward to for the 3DS with a date as of now of simply “2011”..

New SSX incoming? – Please let it be true!

A few weeks before my sister got married, my parents, my brother and I went to visit our future in-laws in Ohio.  While everybody else fretted over wedding plans, my brother-in-law’s nephew and I played hours upon hours of SSX on the original Xbox.  At the time, I thought it was the greatest game ever.  It is what inspired me to purchase Skate, another game I loved.

So what could possibly be better than SSX and Skate?  By combining SSX and Skate! And that is exactly what is rumored to be happening. According to the registration of two websites, SSXFirstDescent.com and SSXDeadlyDescent.com, the game is being developed from the studio that brought us the totally siiiiiick skating franchise and the new SSX will incorporate the totally siiiiiick control scheme of the Skate series.  Plus, it is purported to have features like “avoiding, out-running and even riding on top of massive avalanches; battling hurricane winds; white-outs; bitter cold; falling rocks; and gaping crevasses that open up at a moment’s notice.”  The game may even have base jumping, skyboarding, ice climbing, and wingsuit flying.  In the last piece of evidence, Peter Moore also mentioned that an “obscure” title will be revealed at the VGA ceremony.  Here is hoping…

It’s been quite a long time coming but L.A. Noire is coming out next spring for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Now Rockstar Games and Team Bondi have decided to up the anti even more by releasing a few screenshots to help keep us satisfied just a little longer by teasing us. Four screenshots were released that show off different parts of the game, such as how a detective from 1947 had to perform his job.

Playing as Phelps you will have to solve different cases that range from robberies, murders, and what looks like arson even. Rather than jumping in guns blazing it seems that a sharp tongue is the best way to survive the world that L.A. Noire takes place in. Then again dead bodies don’t answer questions so make sure that your guns are your last resort. Catch the screenshots above and below.

Kung-Fu LIVE now available!

Kung-Fu LIVE has just launched on PSN in North America and Europe!

Using the FreeMotion technology (along with the PS Eye) for some real life moves,  Kung-Fu LIVE fuses players into a world of pulp action-comics with accurate real-time motion and image scanning, letting fans literally step inside the fight like never before. You can expect a roster of impossible-made-possible power moves and unique multiplayer components.

“From the very beginning, we’ve set out to deliver some serious fun for people who don’t take themselves too seriously. Today is the day that we can finally share our vision with gamers across the world. It’s a vision that literally puts players inside of the epic action of the video game world with no controllers and no disconnect between their real life selves and an avatar on-screen. They are truly inside of the game. Every kick, punch, cartwheel, and power jump they can perform in front of their televisions is now an integral part of the game play experience, and the result is exactly the kind of ridiculous and physically challenging fun we’ve strived to create.” – Teemu Maki-Patola, CEO of Virtual Air Guitar Company

Dead Space 2 trailer displays the fall of the Sprawl

It’s never a good thing when a space station comes under attack. It definitely isn’t good news especially when they are under attack by Necromorphs. What we see in the trailer below for Dead Space 2 is the fall of the Sprawl. We see many people being killed in different ways by the Necromorph infestation and the fact that only Isaac Clarke knows what to do.

What is new however are the various battle scenes that we witness. The boot jets are also used in the trailer to chase what looks like a runaway train. Then again on that same train it appears that Isaac starts to suffer a breakdown and strange symbols appear around him, could his mind still be altered from the Marker?

We’ve seen bits and pieces about the gameplay elements that will be featured in Square Enix’s The 3rd Birthday, but what about the story? There hasn’t been much information about the story released other than it will contain Aya and continue the Parasite Eve story. That is until today when a new trailer was released that details the basis of the storyline.

Now it is five minutes long and in Japanese, but subtitles help clear up any confusion that we may have about what is going on. The trailer itself talks a bit about the story and then delves into gameplay and cut scenes. All of this is great to know considering The 3rd Birthday will be out in Japan in a couple of weeks and then in America sometime in early 2011 for the PSP.

Capcom keeps buffing up the roster of fighters that will be available in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and they have added in another two fighters, one from each world.  From the Marvel side of things we are seeing yet another X-Men joining with classic team member Storm. But that isn’t all, Capcom is bringing in a Street Fighter to counter the forces of nature in the form of Crimson Viper.

That brings the current number of selectable fighters to 32. It will be interesting to see who else will be revealed as the game grows closer to it’s release date of February 15th of next year. As per standard they have also released videos which feature both Storm and Crimson Viper performing various attacks and special moves to get us even more excited about a game we have been ecstatic about for months.

Now that the cat is out of the bag regarding Uncharted 3, Naughty Dog isn’t pulling any punches with the information they are letting out about the game. They have announced that Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will be able to be played in stereoscopic 3D. Great news if you have one of those expensive 3D televisions already. But that isn’t all.

In the spirit of giving to the fans, Jimmy Fallon who is host of the show Late Night has released information on his Twitter page that on Monday December 13th he will be having the game’s developer on his show. While the developer is on the show he will also show off the first live gameplay demo, but that will be in 2D only of course.

However if you happen to care more about the actual details about the game and what will set this one apart from the previous two Uncharted games. Catch what has been detailed so far by Naughty Dog below:

  • Bigger set pieces and more explosive adventure, driven by Naughty Dog’s signature storytelling and cinematic presentation.
  • Competitive and co-op multiplayer return with brand new experiences and massively expanded feature sets. The UNCHARTED universe provides online players with a unique Action Adventure multiplayer experience, bringing the cinematic elements of the single-player campaign into multiplayer.
  • Nathan Drake can now take on opponents in more ways than before: hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents, contextual melee attacks, and new stealth options. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception also features expanded and diverse traversal moves with deep gunplay.
  • Naughty Dog introduces new physics, visuals, and environmental effects. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception features new innovations in sand, fire, smoke, and water dynamics and effects. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception will be playable in Stereoscopic 3D.

We’ve heard before that a number of game announcements will be made at the VGA this weekend, but that doesn’t mean companies can’t spill the beans before hand. Entertainment Weekly, which one wouldn’t expect to find such a large game reveal, has released information regarding Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. The third iteration of the series will be released at some point in 2011 though that is as vague as you can get.

Drake’s Deception will place Drake and his partner Sully on the Arabian Peninsula and the Rub’ al Khali Desert. Drake appears to be searching for a lost city and also will find out mysteries about his past and his father Francis Drake. There has been a teaser released for the game at the same time, but then again it only teases the fact that we will see more about the game Saturday at the Video Game Awards on Spike. Talk about a vague way to release information on such a large game.

There’s a reason why I love Com2uS. This particular game company will always release seasonal update for its older game in prepare for the holiday season, despite their many new releases on the App Store (like Queen’s Crown). Last week, they gave us a Christmas update for Slice It!. Today, another Christmas update has just arrived for Homerun Battle 3D. This chart-topping homerun derby game has been the favorite of many baseball fans around the world, myself included.

So, what do we get in this update? A Santa Claus from the North Pole will be pitching for the homerun derby matchups during this holiday season, and gift boxes will be attached to several of his balls. You will need to send the ball flying over the fence in order to receive the gifts, which includes extra goldballs and different pieces of baseball equipments for all your homerun pleasure. Apart from that, you are also given the chance to equip yourself with some very pretty Christmas-themed uniform, simply by playing the game or by collecting goldballs to spend at the in-game store. Of course, Christmas sale is waiting for you at the store!
