Dead Space iOS Video

A video for EA's Dead Space for the iPod came out today. And my God it looks crisp for a mobile game. I don't know it the controls will be a pain (which they probably will) but my oh my do I want this game. I don't know the pricing on it, but expect it to be out this Tuesday.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Alternate Costumes Part 2

Chris Baker, the manager of Marvel's video games, had a sit down with IGN to talk about Marvel's alternate costumes. He talks about Pheonix, Storm, MODOK, Dormammu and Captain America. My personal favorite is Punisher Cap.

For a more in depth talk about it, head over to IGN here to read the full article. I have yet to read it all, but I will once I get the chance. I had no idea some of these costumes existed. And Marvel did an excellent job with the alternate costumes by what I've seen.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

The newest Kingdom Hearts franchise for Nintendo 3DS has unveiled it's name today, and I will say, I am somewhat impressed. I like how it's going back to the old school of the first Kingdom Hearts. But as you notice, there's a lack of Disney. I believe that Kingdom Hearts is getting out of control, this is like the 7th Kingdom Hearts game. They probably ran out of originality and is slowly starting to get rid out Disney. Dream Drop Distance looks like the best Kingdom Hearts game they've made in awhile, but I'm not setting my bar high for this at all.

Thor Renamed, New Thor Continuity and Captain America Pictures

Marvel has stated that the current Thor comic continuity will go back to it's original name. Journey Into Mystery starting with issue #622 in April.

Along with that, a new Thor continuity appears during the same month. Mighty Thor will lead into the new upcoming Marvel crossover Fear Itself and will be focusing on kid Loki. An interview with Kieron Gillen (the writer of Mighty Thor) goes into depth and explains more.

I'm iffy on Loki's new design. If this wasn't a comic book world, everyone would do what they can to stop Thor from retrieving Loki, especially since Siege. We'll see how this goes I guess. I'm sure that they're making a new continuity and renaming Thor to bring in new readers because of the movie (The same thing was done for Invincible Iron Man, but the numbering was redone). And it's safe to assume that they'll do the same thing with Captain America.


Speaking of our red, white and blue hero. Last but not least, enjoy these pictures of Chris Evans from the new upcoming Captain America movie.

When we got first looks at the costume months ago, I was so scared on the outcome and was not feeling it at all. But now, for some reason, I'm really digging this look. And look! Cap's shield shows some sort of damage! Time for a paint job on that.

Taskmaster and Akuma

Earlier this morning, Taskmaster and Akuma have been reveled to be the next two characters for Marvel vs Capcom 3. With just a few more weeks till the release, two more characters remain unknown. Akuma has been known for awhile since he's been leaked in a couple of pictures.

I have yet to figure out which team I will use. Now that Taskmaster has been unveiled, I want him and Deadpool to team up together. Taskmaster's multiple fighting styles will obliterate his enemies, he's even taken on Captain America and won.

Even your two buddies got their English names revealed: Bianca and Cheren. I really don't know why they decided to change Belle and keep Cheren

From Belle to Bianca

From Cheren to Cheren

And if you've been following the show at all, you'll know that Ash has been carrying around an egg lately. Well, it finally hatched into a Zuruggu

I'm kinda iffy on the new Pokemon game. The names aren't very unique and they really don't look like Pokemon. They look more like Digimon, and yes I know, a Digimon artist drew these ones up. I've played the Japanese versions of both games, and the only thing I liked about it were the 3 monkeys. Other than that, there was not much that popped out. I have no doubt that the game is still going to do good in sells, just because there's so many loyal Pokemon fans. And I might even be one of the slaves that will give in and buy it. Just so I can keep my Pokemon game collection going.

New Spider-Man Reboot Picture

What's this? Another Spider-Man post? Our favorite Web-Slinger on a roll it seems like. Today we've got a glimpse of Andrew Garfield in the Spidey oufit.The movie is inspired by Ultimate Spider-Man, a series I enjoy and still am enjoying. I just need to read their over 100 paged special issue. But if you've never read Ultimate Spidey, it all takes place during his High School days. From Age 15-17 If I can remember correctly, somewhere around that age.

Beenox: The New Main Spider-Man Developer

The gaming company, Beenox, has rightfully earned the place to be Spider-Man's primary developer. If you don't know, Beenox is responsible for developing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Straight from the press release, Beenox is now “the primary developer on upcoming Activision titles featuring Marvel’s famous web-slinger, Spider-Man.”

Congratulations to them, because they did an amazing job with Shattered Dimensions. Each Spider-Man had a different feel and fighting style and I'm excited to play more Spider-Man games from them.  You can tell they put time and effort into it and it easily shows.

DC Event: Flashpoint

Flashpoint is starting to emerge from the surface since it's announcement last year with 3 teaser pictures. Flashpoint will be about Reverse Flash going back through time and making sure that most super heroes were never created. I don't follow DC too much, since I"m more of a Marvel guy, but I have been following their comics more often lately

People aren't too sure who this is meant for. Speculations have said it was for Superman, but he already has his own picture (see below). And others believe it could be J'onn J'onzz. No one's too sure at the moment.

 I'm sure this one is about Bruce Wayne not spending most of his time being Batman and instead keeping his focus on his casino.

Obviously this one has to be Superman since he came to Earth in a spaceship when he was a baby.

Dead Space 2 Launch Trailer

New Dead Space 2 trailer comes out. We're getting closer to the release dates and I'm getting excited. One thing that concerns me is that Isaac is talking. Now, that's not a bad thing, but it gives a different feel than the first one. We've already been told that there will be cut scenes, which is new, and that leads me to believe that this will be more of a shooter than a horror game. Despite the first game being a 3rd Person Shooter, it still made you feel like you were Isaac a bit. Every time someone talked to me, I myself would be talking back to them (yes, it's a bit weird, but I know some of you have done it for Half-Life). In Dead Space 2, I don't think I'll be doing much of that. Nontheless, I think this game will do excellent. Just 13 more days.

Action/Fantasy Game on the iPod

Another gaming is coming for the iPod from Gameloft (a mobile video game company). I found this out on GameInformer, and they were saying how much it looks like a Legend of Zelda game (which it isn't) and it does have some similarities. There's no title or release date for this. This is another iPod games that I'm interested in.

Age of X, 3DS, Dead Space and Devil May Cry iOS Edition

Today lands lots of pictures and screenshots. And instead of making a new entry for each topic, I've descided to crush them into one.

Age of X
First we'll start with Age of X. We were given an Age of X preview earlier today

The new character designs for this new X-Men universe is pretty damn awesome. Have you seen Cyclops? He has a skull for a face. Characters shown in here are most likely:
Sunspot
Iceman
Storm
Berserker (Warpath or Thunderbird)
Cannonball
Colossus
Basilisk (Cyclops)
Jubilee
Moonstar
Loa
Angel
Namor
Gentle
Dazzler
Chamber
Magmus (Megneto)
Legacy (Rogue)
Along with that there's this:

The Avengers of this new Marvel Universe. Ghost Rider, Susan Storm and Spider-Woman (that's whom it looks like) are part of the main Avengers team by the look of it, and I'm liking it.

3DS
Now this other stuff, I got from GameInformer. But it's been announced that the Nintendo 3DS won't have a universal translator. If you don't know what that means, then check out this translated e-mail from Nintendo JP Support, “There are no Region codes in DS and DSlite, but DSI, DSILL, 3DS has region codes. The Region Codes are installed in each games and the 3DS itself. If the codes don’t match you can’t play if the region codes are different. For example if you play a Korean 3DS game with a Japanese 3DS system (or vice versa) you wont be able to play at all.” I'm not effected by this at all, since I never play imports.

Dead Space
 As for Dead Space, we're talking about Dead Space Aftermath here. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then read the description:
The year is 2509 and not only has Earth lost contact with the Ishimura and Isaac Clarke, but now also the USG O'Bannon, the first responder ship sent to rescue them. Four crew members of the O'Bannon have survived. But what happened to the rest of the crew? What were they doing? What secrets are they keeping? All to be revealed...in the Aftermath! Dead Space: Aftermath is a fast paced, horrifying thrill ride told through the perspective of the four survivors by several renowned international directors. 

For more pictures, head over here

I enjoyed Downfall very much, and I'm hoping Aftermath will be as great or even better. It's to hit stores January 25th.

Devil May Cry 
Early this month I mentioned that Dead Space will be coming out for the iOS, well Devil May Cry will be doing the same thing. But it's not going to be anything new, it's just a simplified version of Devil May Cry 4, just don't expect it to be exactly like the console version. For now, Nero will be your playable character and later on Capcom plans to release Dante.For an iOS game, this doesn't look that bad at all. Seems pretty crisp. We'll see how well DMC4:Refrain holds when it's released later this month.

Razer Switchblade

When it comes to gaming, Razer does not mess around. The people at Razer Zone has designed on for gamers, and I'm impressed. This baby is powered by Intel's Atom processor, which brings a powerful punch for quite a few games. What I like about this is that you can play an FPS on it along with RTS/MMO/Casual games. And with each game type, the keyboard scheme changes. For example, if you're launching up WoW on it, you have all your macro keys and arrow keys and for your FPS games, you have arrow keys and attack keys. These are just concept designs, so there is no release date nor price for it at the moment. And don't you think this is just limited to gaming. The Switchblade will be running Windows 7 with Wi-fi and 3G service. Oh, and for you FPS freaks, don't worry, you're able to plug in a portable mouse.

I love Razer, they make excellent products. I have a couple of their products and I'm completely satisfied with them, so I'm pretty sure that the Switchblade (just the project name, not the actual name for their new PC) will do well and have major hits. If I ever had extra money for it, I would buy it (even if it did cost an arm and a leg)
