Gears Of War 3 coming in April 2011 ???

8

GREAT NEWS for all you Gears Of War fans.  It seems that there are rumors going around the internet that Epic Games are planning on releasing Gears Of War 3 around April 2011.  A trailer from the game is also rumored to be made public sometime next month.  WHO’S EXCITED ABOUT THAT !!  I IS 😉 !!

Also there have been talks that at this years E3 in June we’ll get to see lots more and hopefully a bit of action/gameplay.  I think this is probably the best news I’ve heard all day.  I might get my Lancer off the wall and walk around the room with it for a little bit making the chainsaw revving sounds.

Woooooooooo !!! IM IN THE ZONE BABY !!!

Sora no Otoshimono Second Season in the works

6

In fall 2009 AIC anime studio produced Suu Minazuki’s manga into a hilarious harem type anime involving angels from another world coming to one unlucky boy’s home.

Though the character types alongside the main characters were vaguely similar to most other animes of this type. The breakout character for me was Ikaros the angel, also termed angelroid. The way that her character was written was extremely interesting and brought back memories of other classic animes such as Chobits.

Thankfully however in the latest copies of the manga are also including advertisements for a second season of this great show! Personally I was worried considering the anime ended quite solidly, however there is always room to expand as the manga is still being published in Shōnen Ace.

Anyone potentially interested in this anime can watch the opening video below, as the first season finished a few months ago. With the second season just announced now may be the time to take a peek.

PRESS RELEASE

AUSTIN, TX – March 16, 2010 – During the Screenburn portion of Austin’s 2010 SXSW event, Twisted Pixel surprised show-goers with a first glimpse at what the gameplay will look like in their highly anticipated title Comic Jumper.  CEO Michael Wilford played through the first 10 minutes of the game to fans that gathered at the company’s booth.  But fret not, if you missed the award-winning studio’s surprise unveiling, you can see it next week in Boston at the inaugural PAX East conference (booth # 601).

The demo consists of the game’s protagonists Captain Smiley and Star moving through the first comic book, The Adventures of Captain Smiley, where they must thwart a bank robbery by the crazed Dr. Winklemeyer and Smiley’s arch-nemesis Brad.  The first comic features tons of written dialog and voice acting, graphics that conjure the epic splash-page comics from the 90’s, gameplay modes ranging from melee to shooting to riding a Brad-bot down the side of a building, intense panel-jumping transitions, and an unforgettable Brad theme song that you hear while doing battle with Brad before the demo comes to a close.

In addition to the live demo, Twisted Pixel has revealed a great deal of information about the first comic, The Adventures of Captain Smiley, that players will jump into, including characters, background information, and how the developers came to create the content from a design, art and production perspective.

No details yet on release date or pricing, but the studio encourages fans to check http://www.twistedpixelgames.com/ and follow @mrwilford on Twitter for regular updates on the game’s progress.

Resident Evil 5… Oh I mean Zombie Infection out soon for the iPhone

I don’t know how they do it but Gameloft have the knack for developing games created by other software developers on the iPhone that look and feel so similar to the originals its not funny.  So far they’ve cloned up Modern Warfare and called it Modern Combat.  Next Grand Theft Auto took a hit was remade into Gangstar West Coast Hustle,  there’s even a Warcraft 3 clone called Lost Empires and most recently even HALO was recreated and called N.O.V.A.  It’s so similar that the computer AI even looks like Cortana.  

Looks like the next game to get a cloning over is Capcom’s Resident Evil 5.  Gameloft have descided to call this title Zombie Infection. Check out the images below :

Now I don’t know about you guys but it looks like this level’s been ripped right out of the early African Level of Resident Evil 5.  I’m not sure what to say.  Look at the beef handing off the hooks and the Zombie that’s about to do its Resident Evil 4 & 5 trademark sidestep. 

From what we’ve heard you even come across a female character that servers as your sidekick in the game by the name of Shawna ?????? Man does it get any closer to Sheva ? Well so far from what others have reported the game actually looks and feels very good and some people have gone out and said that Gameloft have actually done a better job than Capcom have done with Resident Evil 4 and Regeneration on the iPhone.

Now where I come from,  those are fighting words !! Looks like Capcom’s going to have to step up and show the world who’s boss of the Survival Horror/Zombie style games and release an Official Resident Evil 5 for the iPhone.  After seeing how brilliant the Street Fighter IV convertion was on the iPhone,  I don’t think anyone will question Capcom if they descide to bring Chris and Sheva to the portable gaming device.   Remebemer this people, no one blows holes through zombies like Chris Redfield does !! 😉

What do you guys think ?  Your comments thoughts and suggestions ?

Dragon Age: Awakening Ships Tomorrow

6

From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack.

For centuries, the Grey Wardens-the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands-have been battling the darkspawn forces.  Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain.

You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain.

How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.

Who’s gonna pick this up ?  It looks very good 🙂

MW2 “Stimulus Package” Load Out

9

the Stimulus Package map pack is coming March 30th to the Xbox 360 first. The price tag set for these 3 new maps and 2 remakes is 1200MSP ($15).

Details on the Maps:

  • “Bailout,” a multi-level apartment complex
  • “Storm,” an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery
  • “Salvage,” a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars.
  • “Crash,” a war-torn urban environment.
  • “Overgrown,” which features a massive dry creek bed.

“Bailout,” a multi-level apartment complex
A confined location, perfect for those annoying people that run around with shotguns and knives. Will most likely be hated by snipers and those who like picking off their enemies from a distance. Hopefully long corridors will lead to some balance.

“Storm,” an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery
This level is supposedly going to be stormy, with rain which will reduce visibility.

“Salvage,” a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars.
This level will lead to some pretty cool tactics, only if the crushed cars are set up properly.  Snipers could nest into some strategic locations and snipe between the debris.

“Crash,” a war-torn urban environment.
If you have played COD4, you will know this map. Basically it is the original Afghan map.

“Overgrown,” which features a massive dry creek bed.
A fan favorite, that is liked by most COD players.

A $15 price tag will make whether to buy this map pack or not a difficult choice for many players, but the extra maps look interesting enough to constitute a purchase. If you are still playing Modern Warfare 2, then you might want to look into this interesting Map Pack.
