As for those songs…
Capcom and Blue Castle’s upcoming zombie-packed kill-fest Dead Rising 2 is getting the standard and deluxe edition treatment as you can see here. Cover art for the PS3 and 360 versions plus the special limited edition ZOMBREX versions with all those cool goodies. Now if I can only get Capcom to send me a couple to sock away in case of a certain zombie emergency, I’ll be a happy camper…
With Valkyria Chronicles II set to hit retail on August 31, 2010, Sega of America has announced a neat bonus for those that pre-order the game at GameStop in the form of two exclusive download missions (known as “Exercises” in the game):
Whomever thought this one up gets big Genius Points for life in my book. Capcom (who knows their fighting game fans are absolutely crazy in the best possible way) and Namco (ditto) team up for what's going to be a major blast of fresh air for the genre. This in-progress mash-up made my eyebrow poke up for a few until I got a gander at the screen shots. Yeah, this one is going to blow the doors off, raise the roof and bust a few controllers in the process. All I'll say is stock up on arcade sticks, energy drinks and Band-Aids.
While it's not coming out until 2011, Capcom's mighty little DS masterpiece is looking better and better each time I've seen it. Fans of the PS2 and Wii versions should be prepared to fall for the beautifully stylized visuals and I'm gathering that the DS stylus will be an even better fit for drawing with than the Dual Shock 2 or Wii Remote. Hell, I'd buy a dozen just to hand out as gifts just so folks can see just how cool the game is. Take a look at these Gamescom screens and see for yourself:
Alright, it's late and I'm pooped. For your bedtime story, go read this nice SCEA press release while I jump in the shower and then collapse in a smiley heap for some pleasant dreams. From the games I tried recently, the new Move controller is a ton of fun to use so it'll be interesting to see how it moves in these new package deals with the larger hard drives and such.
At Sony’s PlayStation Press Conference at GamesCon, Insomniac Games has announced they’re working on two new titles:
Resistance 3 is coming from the company’s Burbank studios while the new Ratchet & Clank is straight outta Insomniac’s North Carolina offices. No screens yet, but we’ll be looking forward to seeing what’s what with both of these P
Well, that’s just supremely grand and excellently peachy, I say (glaring at his non-functioning RROD 360). As the first game isn’t (boo, hiss!), I’m hoping PS3 owners get some sort of brief recap or even a bit of new content, but we shall see, no? That is all. You may now resume your present activities.
And I though Maxwell’s rooster hat from the first game was cool. PLUSH headphones that work. In camo, to boot! I have to have a pair just to wear while playing the game (as I’m one of the few humans left on the planet that actually doesn’t listen to music through headphones anymore while out in public).
Super Scribblenauts spells its way into stores on October 12, 2010. Be there or be S-Q-U-A-R-E.
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"
