With the game release under a week away, Bethesda is now bringing out what appears to be its last Developer Diary in it’s six part series explaining everything behind the game. With this diary however they explain not what technological advances they have placed into the game, but instead the famous actors that have been able to voice different characters within the game itself.
We have Ron Perlman returning as the narrator, because to be honest the game would feel extremely different if he wasn’t there to be the narration to our journeys. Actor Mathew Perry comes in as the voice of Benny, leader of the Chairmen which are out to kill you the player for a yet unknown reason. There won’t be any 3 Dog this time around either, as the Mr. New Vegas will be voiced by none other than Wayne Newton.
Other voices gracing New Vegas are William Sadler playing the part of Victor and Kris Kristofferson voicing Chief Hanlon. We’ll be able to hear all of these actors and more when Fallout: New Vegas releases next Tuesday on October 19th.

Interesting in the achievements for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood? Well it definitely has perhaps the most interestingly named achievement that I have seen in all my achievement gathering days. That is the fact that one of them comes in Morse Code. The achievement for solving all of the puzzles left by Subject 16 is in some sort of Morse code, though I unfortunately do not know how to read it, maybe you will?
Other than that it looks like your standard fair of story related achievements, achievements for doing a specific action, and then completing random side objectives that otherwise may pass unnoticed without an achievement to go along with them. There are also a handful of multiplayer only achievements to go along with the Brotherhood’s new multiplayer mode.
No tile icons to go along with the achievements just yet, but then again the game doesn’t release until November 16th, so we will have to wait till then. Also in case you are worried about spoilers, thankfully there isn’t too much to be spoiled with the achievements in this one. Catch them below:

Not a whole lot to say about this one other than that it looks to take the prize for most unique game coming out next year. The good people at ACE Team have released a new trailer for the upcoming Rock of Ages. ACE Team is known for developing Zeno Clash and is now looking to make a splash, or should I say crash with their next game.
Take a look below to see for yourself this unique game of destruction. The game itself will be releasing on the PSN, PC, and 360 in Spring 2011.
Ready to see just how much blood is inside the human body? Or at least within a body inside of the Fist of the North Star universe? Then you are in luck as Tecmo Koei has announced that Fist of the North Star: Ken’s rage will be getting a demo release on the PS3 and 360 next week on October 19th.
The demo itself will contain two levels of playability and allow players to choose between Ken and Rei as they go through the level popping enemies like overfilled blood sacks. As you can imagine, blood will be everywhere but I digress. The game itself will be hitting shelves on November 2nd with it’s full cast of selectable characters and the rest of the stages. So if you are on the fence about this game, or looking to satisfy your Fist of the North star itch, get ready to get the demo.
Zombies are one thing, but taking the four horses of the apocalypse and throwing them into the game all in one set of DLC? That is definitely a sealed deal for me. Rockstar has announced that the horses of the apocalypse will be available within the Undead Nightmare DLC, and you can see them above; Pestilence, Famine, Death, and War.
Each horse possesses their own special abilities which you can see below:
Death: With Hell following close behind, Death carries with him a violent wake that rattles through the skulls of the undead, causing a spectacular cranial explosion for any zombie it comes in contact with.
Famine: Attracting a swarm of insects wherever it travels, Famine’s thin shadowy frame and crimson eyes mask an everlasting stamina.
Pestilence: A ghastly harbinger of plague and disease that’s easily identifiable by its exposed wounds and ocular hemorrhaging, Pestilence possesses an exceptionally high pain threshold.
War: Given power to take peace from the earth, the fiery red horse known as War ignites a trail of flame upon all those in its path, turning the living and the undead alike into smoldering ash.
The Undead Nightmare DLC will be available on October 26th for the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
Are modern day fighters letting you down? Not giving you that classic feel anymore? Well you are in luck because SNK has just announced on their Facebook page that they are bringing back the updated arcade fighter King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match. KoF UM will be coming to the XBLA sometime in Autumn of this year. But we are already in Autumn, so that is a good sign that the game will be available within the next month or so.
There hasn’t really been a set price, but previous games from SNK featuring their KoF series looks to place the price for this one at 800 MSP ($10). There will be over 66 different playable characters to choose from, and the fighters and the stages themselves will be similar to the arcade version, while the menus, amount of characters, and game modes. But don’t fret the graphics have also been severely upgraded and there have been new attacks added to each character’s arsenal.
EA Bright Light is treating us with a new video for the forthcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, the videogame. It’s your chance to see more of the epic battles, deadly enemies and iconic environments that await you. The trailer features a good level of gameplay, as well as a brief hint in regards to the story, for everyone who has yet to devle into the book and is awaiting the release of the movie. With the physical constrainsts and boundaries of Hogwarts removed, this looks like it could be shaping up to be the best Potter outing yet.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1 the videogame launches on multiple platforms this November.

We’ve seen the enemies of Vanquish, and we have seen the weapons weapons in Vanquish as well.Now it is time to check out the battle suit.The suit that makes all the magic happen.
The funniest thing I find about the entire trailer, is that they call the armor: “The A.R.S. Battle Suit”. The reason I find this funny, is that my current(and first) indie game in development is codenamed “ARS”.
Check out the short trailer so see more of the suit for yourself.Vanquish releases on October 19th in North America, October 21st in Japan and October 22nd in Europe.
Gun Loco is a third-person shooter which takes place on a far-off prison planet where the contestants fight to the death in an attempt to escape from the sadistic confines of Gun Loco’s relentless killing floor.
This video shows off one of the characters from the game, as well as some gameplay. I’m sure there will even be more insane characters to debut in the future; did you see that bunny? Gun Loco is an Xbox 360 exclusive releasing in November 2010.
Check out the video below, while you wait a month. Though, I don’t think the video could possibly last you that long.
