| Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation rumored for the PS Vita Posted: 02 Jun 2012 03:30 PM PDT Remember when an Assassin's Creed was announced for the PlayStation Vita back in August? Ubisoft snuck the announcement amidst what would eventually become their launch line-up for the Vita in February of this year. We may now know some of the possible details of the title (if a thread on NeoGAF is to be believed), including supposedly its name: Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. Set to release the same day as Assassin's Creed III (October 30th), Liberation will be a separate tale that doesn't link to Desmond's, take place in New Orleans. It will also have "multiplayer specifically tailored for the Vita experience", feature the same traditional gameplay as the rest of the Assassin's Creed series, and will put you in the shoes of a female assassin named Aveline. Presumably, we'll hear more about the game this week at E3. Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation for PS Vita Revealed [All Games Beta] |
| Nintendo hosting special Wii U webcast ahead of E3 Posted: 02 Jun 2012 12:00 PM PDT Will this is a surprise!

The broadcast is set for 3PM PST/6PM EST on Sunday, and will see Global President Satoru Iwata revealing new information about the Wii U. We'll have any and all info of whatever comes from the broadcast for you immediately following the broadcast. Is your body ready? |
| Medal of Honor: Warfighter coming to PlayStation Vita? Posted: 02 Jun 2012 11:30 AM PDT Could Medal of Honor: Warfighter be coming to PlayStation Vita? French retailer CDiscount seems to think so. The online tech store's website has follow-up to Danger Close Games' 2010 series reboot listed as available for pre-order on Sony's new portable device. Quelle surprise. Couleur m'a intrigué. Medal of Honor featured an engrossing if somewhat brief campaign, and now that Danger Close has taken the multiplayer reigns from DICE, perhaps that aspect of the game will achieve a similar level of excellence. While Electronic Arts hasn't said anything publicly to indicate a handheld release at this time, Vita owners with idle thumbs might want to keep their eyes open during the publisher's press conference on Monday.

| XSEED shows off The Last Story Limited Edtion Posted: 02 Jun 2012 10:00 AM PDT If you're even slightly interested in The Last Story you might want to strike while the iron is hot. While XSEED Games is localizing Final Fantasy creator and Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi's cult Wii role-player later this summer, the company has conservative expectations only has plans to publish a limited run in North America at this time. To sweeten the deal for those wiling to pull the trigger on a purchase close to launch, XSEED is including a 44-page softcover art book along with a custom outer box shell (shown in the gallery below) for all first print copies of the title. Considering how there's been a movement to get this game localized, I doubt many people needed the extra incentive, but sometimes it's just nice to be nice.

| Game Genie returns to consoles, shows PS3 version at E3 Posted: 02 Jun 2012 08:30 AM PDT Hyperkin announced they will be rebooting Game Genie, the nostalgic, cheat code enabler for PlayStation 3. There is no release date at this time, but the product will be showed off at E3 with Skyrim and other recent releases. Sometimes I wonder if we were really so awesome at videogames in the '90s or if we just forgot how much help Game Genie gave us along the way. Like Game Shark after it, Game Genie was a device that attached to consoles and allowed players to turn on a variety of cheats and weird glitches that programmers never wanted players to see. It was awesome! Here's a list of features:
The big appeal here, for me, is the ability to trade saves and upload them online. I loved being able to launch into the endgame of an RPG via saves in emulators, back in the day, and I've missed this ability ever since. It also has a more practical application, considering how disastrous PS3's saves can be. Sometimes you can't transfer save files to your new PS3, as I learned the hard way. This Game Genie could save people a lot of trouble if it functions correctly. I haven't heard much about the previous Game Genie for DS that Hyperkin put out so I'm a bit skeptical. I'm also a bit puzzled by how this will effect cheating in multiplayer and trophy achievements. Surely, the last thing Sony and its community wants is more cheaters. These are different times, after all. |
| Bungie's Marathon Trilogy now available on iOS for free Posted: 02 Jun 2012 02:00 AM PDT Back in the mid-nineties, years prior to the launch of a series that would change the face of the first-person shooter and bring Microsoft's Xbox brand to prominence, Bungie was one of the few developers making quality games for Apple's Macintosh computer. It was during this time that they first made forays into the growing FPS genre with three games that are now widely considered to be spiritual predecessors to the Halo franchise. Last summer we learned that the first of those titles, Marathon, would be headed to the App Store with Bungie's seal of approval. Oh, and the best part? The 1994 sci-fi FPS launched for free. Since then Marathon 2: Durandal has joined the party; and now Marathon Infinity, the third and final part of the trilogy, has arrived on Apple's latest gadgets to bring everything full circle. Whether you're a Halo fan looking to get a historical perspective on the series or just someone looking for some quality games to download on the cheap, all three Marathon titles are definitely worth a look.
