Mass Effect 3 Demo Coming Out at Valentine’s Day
0
It really sucks to be a gamer’s girlfriend for 2012. The final chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy is about to end and we get to taste a part of it this February 14. Yes, ladies, it’s VALENTINE’S DAY so either buck up or ship out (on a side note, Billy’s not into Mass Effect, so he’s VERY VERY LIKELY to be free this valentine’s day. And last time I checked he’s looking for a date #nudgenudgewinkwink). Or if you’re like Nicole, you can just watch your Boyfie (for the love of-) kill all those aliens and save the world.
Exclusive [RE]veal: Resident Evil 6 announced
0No more than twenty-four hours ago the gaming community was rocked by a sudden reveal trailer for Resident Evil 6, Capcom’s latest installment in their long-running survival horror franchise. The video features Leon Kennedy (former one-day R.P.D. officer turned unwilling government lapdog), Chris Redfield (S.T.A.R.S. bad-ass and BSAA commando), Steve Burnside (or at least I believe it’s Steve, based on his dialogue) and…
…GASP! could that be Ashley Graham? She’s all grown up! Hit the jump and see the dissected shots and my predictions about the game.
Feast on the Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning Demo for some ME3 Items
0If you’re a Mass Effect 3 fan and aching for some word savin’-reaper butt kicking, well, you still have a few months to go for that. However, in preparation for that fateful day, have a feat first on the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur. Why you ask? Well for one, if you played the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur (which is out now) or Mass Effect 3, you’d get exclusive in-game items for both games.

He was caught by the Iranian intelligence ministry spying for the CIA last December 7. In his taped confession he claims that Kuma Games, a New York city based game company was being funded by the CIA to deceive the whole world that whatever the U.S. does in other countries is a “good measure”.

Actually the PS Vita is already on Datablitz shelves since December 29 last year. Yes that’s right!

A Pokemon Crossover That Might Replace Sengoku Warfare with… Pokemon Battles?
0… It apparently exists as “Pokemon + Nobunaga no Yabou”.
According to the guys at serebii.net, a Pokemon crossover is made with the turn-based strategy Nobunaga’s Ambition. Little is known about the details of the game, however, yet from all me and my friend gathered is that it’s a turn-based tactical strategy game set in the fictional region called “Ranse”, the main protagonist uses an Eevee, the character designs are obviously from Samurai Warriors 3 (possibly for more recognition on the fact that this is a Koei game), and you use tactical Pokemon battles to dominate Japan. Also it will be released on the Nintendo DS.
All these and more when… we can get our hands on a Western Localization (with this game’s possibility being high considering that it’s a Pokemon Game, yet I’m more worried with that than ever since Koei’s games aren’t really friendly recently with localization attempts). So let’s hope for the best… and I’ll go learn some Japanese if all else fails!
