Sony has released the first ever Stereoscopic 3D games on the PS3. This is going to allow players to experience some of their favorite titles in a brand new format that they were unable to before. Not only that but there will be a chance to purchase all of the newly 3D updated titles in one big pack. The Stereoscopic 3D Collection will include WipEout HD, SuperStardust HD, PAIN, and they also will be including a demo of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. The package itself will cost $49.95AU, and is available on the PlayStation Store.

Don’t despair however if you already own the games, in our previous article then your games will most likely have already received the update to 3D capability. Except for PAIN of course which has a small fee attached. But if you were to purchase the Collection, it will include the aforementioned games and the descriptions of each one if you have not played them yet below.

WipEout HD
It’s come a long way since it was first published on PlayStation in 1995, and now cult classic WipEout HD moves into another racing dimension. The stereoscopic 3D Collection will include the full game, with the exception of the separately sold Fury(DLC), so you can experience the adrenalin rush of navigating the twists and turns of futuristic racetracks at breathtaking speeds like never before.

PAIN
Give a whole host of annoying characters and the odd celebrity their just desserts in this incredibly addictive PlayStation®Network favourite that lets you fling them from a giant catapult into walls, windows, tanks of gas, piles of tyres…and the occasional clown. The stereoscopic 3D Collection will include the Downtown area and tutorial along with three modes, including two new modes created specifically with stereoscopic 3D in mind, Alien Toss and Ice Blocks.  If you already have the game then Alien Toss and Ice Blocks will be a supplemental DLC download at $4.95 a piece, but come free with the pack.

SuperStardust HD
Bringing intense, intergalactic shooting action into another dimension, SuperStardust HD will transport you into a spectacular space setting where you’ll fight to obliterate gigantic asteroids as they rain down into terrestrial orbit and threaten to destroy entire planets. Experience asteroids fly past you as you navigate the deadly battleground – only a battle on a cosmic level will save the indigenous life below from destruction.

MotorStorm 3D Pacific Rift Demo
Available exclusively as part of the stereoscopic 3D Collection, MotorStorm®: Pacific Rift in stereoscopic 3D is where you’ll experience the ride of your life. The demo puts you in the driver’s seat of a buggy for a one track, single player race around the deadly Kanaloa Bay for a dangerously real battle against ruthless opponents. Brutal off road racing on PS3 just became more real.

Fallout: New Vegas recieves some pre-order gear bonuses

What if you could have an advantage over other survivors of the apocalypse this upcoming Fall when Fallout: New Vegas arrives?  Well if you pre-order from the companies below you will be given a code to download each specific pack and recieve a bit of an advantage over the rest.  Personally I like the Tribal Pack, the throwing spear and machete definitely have a good primal feeling sound to them, exactly what you will need to survive.   Expect to see Fallout: New Vegas hitting shelves this October.  Which one of these would you prefer to take?  The Classic pack is nice for those who enjoyed the very first game, but I am a bit curious if there will be any bonuses for certain actions taken in Fallout 3.

The Classic Pack (Gamestop) contains:

  • Armored Vault 13 Suit – Extensively patched up and dotted with piecemeal armor, this outfit is an homage to the classic ending of the original Fallout.
  • Vault 13 Canteen – This handy device is useful for staving off dehydration and providing a small amount of healing in the Mojave Wasteland.
  • Weathered 10mm Pistol – A well-worn 10mm pistol that packs an extra punch despite its modest size.
  • 5 Stimpaks – Food and water are good for long-term healing, but when the fighting is fierce, Stimpaks help keep Wastelanders upright.

The Tribal Pack (Amazon) contains:

  • Tribal Raiding Armor – Pieced together from scraps of armor, this outfit provides protection without impacting mobility.
  • Broad Machete – This heavy-bladed melee weapon does high damage against limbs and can quickly deal out a flurry of attacks.
  • 5 Bleak Venom doses – Useful on any Melee Weapon, Bleak Venom makes short of work of most living targets.
  • 10 Throwing Spears – If you would like to silently pin an enemy’s head to a wall, Throwing Spears are the way to do it.

The Caravan Pack (Steam & Wal-Mart) contains:

  • Lightweight Leather Armor – This hand-modified suit of leather armor reduces its overall weight without impacting its ability to protect.
  • Sturdy Caravan Shotgun – Despite its rough appearance, this Caravan Shotgun will reliably fire 20 gauge shells until the Brahmin come home.
  • 4 Repair Kits – Useful for repairing any outfit or weapon, Repair Kits are a valuable tool for any caravaner.
  • Binoculars – The Mojave Wasteland is a dangerous place, but with these trusty Binoculars you’ll be able to spot trouble coming.

The Mercenary Pack (Best Buy) contains:

  • Lightweight Metal Armor – Modified for long-range travel, this Metal Armor sacrifices some protection for mobility and overall weight.
  • Mercenary’s Grenade Rifle – Though similar to other 40mm Grenade Rifles in the Mojave Wasteland, this model has a faster reload cycle.
  • 3 Super Stimpaks – When you absolutely, positively, need to keep your blood inside your body, Super Stimpaks fix you up in no time.
  • 3 Doctors Bags – Mercenaries and broken limbs go together like Iguana-on-a-Stick and Nuka Cola. Thankfully, these Doctors Bags take a bit of sting out of the inevitable crushed skull.

According to Latinoreview.com here are some finer details.

It’s directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who directed FAME last year.  Jacks is played by Michael Jai White, Michael look awesome as Jacks, his previous work was Undisputed II and Spawn.

Then we have the beautiful Sonya Blade who is played by Jeri Ryan who EVERYONE in the world knows plays Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager.  Baraka is played by Lateef Crowder, previous work was on Undisputed III.

Ian Anthony Dalewho also will be playing Kazuya in the soon to be released TEKKEN will be playing as Scorpion and looks BADASS !!

Now fight scenes are very important when it comes to fighting movies.  The choreography will be done by Larnell Stovall.  Larnell has choreographed such movies as Undisputed III and has be labeled one of the best fight choreographers in the business.

Now click on the Play button and get excited … FINISH HIM !!

SEGA announced today that the hit Dreamcast games Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure are going to be arriving on both the XBLA and PSN later in the year. The games appear to be unchanged from the originals in terms of gameplay but they have had graphical enhancements and the sound improved to better entice today’s gamers. Then of course you will also be seeing Achievements and Trophies because no game is allowed to be without those now, as well as Leaderboards.

SEGA will be showing these games both at E3 at their booth, and it has been hinted at that these two classics are only the first to come of many Dreamcast releases. Here is hoping that they bring back Skies of Arcadia and adapt that to the XBLA and PSN eh? Which Dreamcast titles would you love to see on the current generation of systems? How about Seaman?

Atlus Releases E3 Lineup

Looks like Atlus is being a bit vague in how they are releasing their news for E3 this upcoming week.

They have showed us that Trine 2 which they are co-developing with Frozenbyte is coming out, though this is hardly a surprise to anyone is it? Considering that they have announced their partnership just a few days ago themselves.

On top of Trine 2 there will also be showings for Etrain Odyssey III: The Drowned City and Rock of Ages. Also they have released Knights in the Nightmare which will be showing up on the PSP only.

There was also the mention of a few secrets that they could be holding back from us that they will unveil at E3. Wonder what these could be? We will see next week when they unveil everything that they have in store for us.

The newest chapter of the iconic fight franchise marks a triumphant return to the series’ mature presentation and a reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic. Driven by an all new graphics engine, the fan favorite Fatality is back and presented in more gory detail than ever before. In addition, Mortal Kombat introduces a number of new game-play features including tag team and the deepest story mode of any fighting game. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game’s iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several new game modes.

“We are bringing the Mortal Kombat franchise back to gamers with the talented NetherRealm Studios team creating the game fans long to play,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Re-establishing the brand with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Mortal Kombat innovates on past games while staying true to the brand’s legendary characters and fighting style.”

“We can’t wait for players to get their hands on Mortal Kombat,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “This game really is a response to what players have been demanding: mature presentation, reinvented 2D fighting mechanic and the best, most gruesome fatalities ever!”

Mortal Kombat introduces a number of new game modes as well as the most extensive online experience ever seen in a fighting game. Up to 4 players can battle “tag-team”- 2 players can team up in the new “Co-op Arcade Mode” or compete against another team online.

The game will be coming March 2011, for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
