Posted on August 9, 2012 by Broken Joysticks

Just Add Water unveiled a screenshot for the upcoming Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee HD remake today, on its official Facebook page. Unlike most HD editions of old games as of late, Abe’s Oddysee is being rebuilt from the ground up.

The game’s first demonstration will be shown at Eurogamer Expo, sometime during the 27th-30th of September, at the Earls Court in London. The biggest news is that at the convention, the developers will be revealing the most popular name for the game that fans voted on (that’s if you submitted an idea before tomorrow’s deadline). If you want to vote, check out the following linkOddworld: Abe’s Oddysee HD (which probably won’t be the title) will be out sometime next year!

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Multiplayer Playable at GamesCom


Posted on August 9, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Call of Duty fanatics will be able to test drive the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, a full three months ahead of release, at GamesCom 2012. If you’re going to the show, be sure to check out the game’s booth in 6 (Booth A21 and A31), for your chance to be the first in the world to earn a killstreak in Treyarch’s upcoming futuristic shooter. This booth will be available from August 15-18.

Black Ops II‘s multiplayer was unveiled earlier this week, with a two minute reveal trailer. If you’re like me, then you probably won’t be able to just magically teleport over to Germany. Not to worry, though, Activision and Microsoft have teamed up to stream footage from the booth over the three days that it’s open. The same footage will also be available on TwitchTV and the official Call of Duty website.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be released in the states on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on November 13th, 2012. Visit the game’s official website here.

Online Multiplayer and Wallace Wells DLC Coming To Scott Pilgrim


Posted on August 9, 2012 by Les Major

Ubisoft’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released way back when on August 25, 2010, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will be receiving a new DLC pack this month. This new download, which will cost 400 Microsoft Points, includes online multiplayer and Wallace, presumably as a playable character. This information comes from majornelson.com, which dates the Xbox 360 version’s release for August 19th. Ubisoft PR rep Alex Monney stated that details for the PS3 version are on the way.

With Wallace Wells as a playable character, it’s assumable that much like the Knives Chau DLC, he will have his own ending in the game. Wallace is Scott’s roommate from the comic series, so he should make for an interesting addition to the game’s cast. It’s also worth mentioning that the colored version of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life is being released this week.

Warning: You May Be Flustered By This Dead Or Alive 5 Trailer


Posted on August 9, 2012 by Seung Lee

I won’t say what exactly you’ll be taken back by, because there’s actually quite a few things in this trailer for Dead or Alive 5 that caught me by surprise. I will say, however, that there’s rap, giant breasts (as to be expected of a Dead or Alive game), and an actual semblance of a plot.

Dead or Alive 5 is set to release for the PlayStation 3 on September 25th in the states, 27th in Japan, and on the 28th in Europe. American and Japanese Xbox 360 owners can also expect the game to release on the same dates as the PS3 version. The release date for the European 360 version is still unknown. Oh, and by the way, do yourself a favor and don’t read the comments on the video below. It’ll save you precious brain cells.
