SEGA ANNOUNCE SURPRISE ADDITION TO THE SONIC UNIVERSE

A sight that always warms my Heart

In a totally unexpected announcement, SEGA released information on an upcoming remake for the Sonic universe, Sonic Adventure 2. Announced at the 2012 Sonic Boom fan-fest, SEGA provided players with a very brief look at the new HD graphics as well as announcing that the game will be available on both Xbox Live and the Playstation Network. Sonic Adventure 2 is well-known for being the first game to introduce Sonic’s darker counterpart, Shadow the Hedgehog, but it also home to another fan favorite feature, the Chao’s!. That’s right, the Chao Garden will be making a return in the Sonic Adventure 2 remake, pleasing you pet loving fans with that difficult challenge of raising that perfect Shadow clone Chao once again, something I never actually managed to accomplish in the original. More information, including screenshots and a release date will be announced soon, keep an eye on the SEGA website for all the latest.

Deadpool To Get His Own Game?

2012-07-14T11:40:00.001-07:00

In advance of the Marvel Games panel at 1:45 PM (PST) today, a new site has popped up. Well, it’s not so much of a site as it is a placeholder. Could this be the announcement we’ve been hearing about? If so, expect plenty of comedy and broken fourth walls.

MERC WITH THE MOUTH LINK!!!

According to a WhoIs search, the site is registered by MarkMonitor, a company that helps protect brands and eliminate “confusing and potententially fraudulent” uses of trademarked names. It’s not inconceivable that after the Modern Warfare 3 domain fight that Activision engaged in last year that they would commission services to prevent it from happening again. This also provides the opportunity to discreetly register domains without them being easily traceable. Of course, the Activision and High Moon Studios logos at the bottom aren’t exactly hiding.

Anyway check back in the next few hours before the official announcement.

The Next Batman Game Will Be A Prequel To Arkham Asylum

2012-07-13T10:23:00.001-07:00

The Next Batman Game Will Be A Prequel To Arkham Asylum?

BATMAN... nuff said.

So... a prequel?

Yeah I know right...

But anyway, The next Batman game is rumored to be a prequel that centers around Batman's first encounter with the Joker, kinda like the comic the killing joke (See the comic duh and Google). But if this is to be Batmans fist encounter with the Joker, we will get to see the fateful encounter that occurred to create the Joker, as in Batman lore, the Joker was once the Red Hood... Again Google it...

According to Variety, the prequel to Rocksteady's Arkham Asylum and Arkham City will be based on the Silver Age of DC's comics from the 1950s. Variety says the game will be out in 2014 "at the earliest."

Star Wars: The Old Republic...

Now free until level 15!!!

New level-capped but unlimited free-trial offer for BioWare's MMORPG lets those without previous accounts try opening adventures of eight character classes.

Are you Eager to try out Star Wars: The Old Republic (From the guys at Bio-Ware You know Mass Effect, Jade Empire... Ahem Sonic Chronicles...) but not willing to pay to get started?

Then You're in luck.

Bio-Ware announced yesterday announced a free-trial promotion for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game that will allow users to try out the game's 8 character classes, and level their avatars to a maximum of 15.

In addition to trying out the game's classes and traveling through their origin worlds, free-trial participants can fight against others in the player-versus-player warzones, or work alongside players through flashpoints.

And There is no time limit for the game's free trial.

May the force be with you

On top of those restrictions, Free Trial players will not be able to send or reply to mail by other trial characters; use general chat, trade chat, or PVP chat; use the Galactic Trade Network; or trade with other players. Lastly, Old Republic Free Trial users will only be able to reach a Crew Skills ranking of "around" 40 and will not earn Legacy XP.

For more on The Old Republic's Free Trial, check out the FAQ page at the game's website.

Here: Star Wars: The Old Republic

This is not the first time BioWare has allowed users to play The Old Republic for free, as the game has held a number of free weekends since launch. Additionally, this could be part of BioWare's effort to "look into" a full switch for the game from a subscription model to free-to-play.
