Earth Defense Force 2025 Is Due Out Next Year

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Joshua Rust

A few months ago we brought you the trailer for Earth Defense Force 4. Since that time the title of the game has changed to Earth Defense Force 2025 and it will be released at an unspecified date next year.

4 player co-op will be implemented with this iteration of EDF, which is something I really wanted to see with Insect Armageddon. The developers, Sandlot, have also promised tons of new missions and the crazy over-the-top action you’ve come to know and love from this franchise.

Earth Defense Force 2025 will feature new giant insects, such as the Retiarius spider that is so big its webs cover entire buildings. There will also be a new Air Raider unit – which can launch a health beacon for squadmates to recover health – as well as being able to summon tanks.

Here are some new screenshots to go with the announcement of the official game title:

  

  

Any fans of the EDF series out there? What do you think should be added to this franchise to make it even better?

“Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt” Is The Next Borderlands 2 DLC?

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Joshua Rust

Tech savy users (and Playstation 3 users) have uncovered what appears to be the next DLC for Borderlands 2 titled: Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt. Users over at the Gearbox Forums have spotted details that were released in today’s patch. Not to mention that the trophies have shown up as well on the Playstation 3 trophies.

The three achievements/trophies are: Completed the mission “The Fall of Nakayama”, Completed all Hammerlock’s Hunt side missions, & Discovered all named locations in Hammerlock’s Hunt.

So I think it’s safe to assume that there will be even more raid bosses as the first two DLC’s have had. I just want to know when we are going to see a level cap increase? How about you all?

Borderlands 2 Gets Massive Patch on Xbox 360

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Gearbox Software has issued a pretty massive patch for the Xbox 360 version of Borderlands 2. Back when the game launched this past September users reported resets in regards to their badass ranking. Surely, this must have been enraging.

In a surprising twist Gearbox not only fixed the issue but also added the ability for players to reset all challenges once they have completed at least 85% of them.  You will not be able to earn any additional tokens from this but it can help bolster your rank. Tossed in as a thank you for waiting is also ten golden keys!

Check out the brief patch description below:

Players can now reset all challenge progress for a character once they’ve completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels. This will keep the player’s current challenge bonuses and rank, but reset all challenge progress to 0 and allow challenges to be re-completed for additional ranks and bonuses. This option will appear as a tooltip at the bottom of the “challenges” screen within the status menu if the player has met the criteria.

Ok, we’re officially to the end of our Skyrim giveaway contest.  MAJOR thanks go out to Bethesda for not only providing the copies of Skyrim and Dragonborn DLC, but for also giving us a shout-out on the official Elder Scrolls Twitter account.  While our site quickly tapped out under the huge and sudden influx of visitors hoping to score the game, we got the word out via our Facebook page as well as our Twitter page.

We had an influx of tweets all asking for either the full version on PC, or the DLC for the 360.  Our Twitter following more than tripled in a very short timeframe!  After counting the number of unique entries, we then used a random number generator to get our two winners.  And without further ado, the winners are….

With the announcement of the Hitman HD Collection fans of the series will can get their mitts on HD ports of   Hitman Contracts and Hitman 2 Silent Assassin.

The collection will be released on January 29th for PS3 and 360 with a suggested retail price of $39.99. There is also a “premium edition” which is exclusive to the first print run of the Xbox 360 version and includes a limited edition art book! It sounds like there is lots of killing to do.
