Cole MacGrath and Jack & Daxter Confirmed For Battle Royale

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Electricity and fur collide with the announcement of Jack & Daxter and Cole McGrath as playable characters in PlayStation All-Star Battle Royal. Over the weekend at ComiCon Sony confirmed that the lightening empowered hero from Infamous and Infamous 2 will be shocking his way onto the battlefield along with Jack and his wisecracking fur-ball Daxter (okay no more puns I promise).

Jack & Daxter, like the Ice Climbers in Super Smash Bros, fight in a pair within close proximity of each other. Cole of course prefers to deliver deeply voiced narratives to himself while on the battlefield.

Along with the new character announcements Sony released a two new trailers featuring these 2 characters from the PS3 version of the game. Check them out below:Read More

JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure Becomes Bizarre XBLA Game

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The original JoJo Bizarre Adventure was launched on the Sega Dreamcast over a decade ago and since then it’s one of the few Capcom fighting series, save for maybe SNK Vs Capcom, to see some form of re-release. This is about to change with the announcement of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD for the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.

For fans of MVC3 or Super Street Fighter 4, JoJo may seem like a bit of a throwback. Sure it features super moves and devastating combos but there is less of a focus on performing over the top moves and more of a focus on chaining hits together successfully.

JoJo HD will be priced at $20 USD on the PSN or 1600 Microsoft points on the XBL, making it one of the more pricier offerings on each service. This HD port will also come complete with an online matchmaking system, similar to Super Street Fighter IV, which of course the 2001 original lacked.
