Okay, this is just weird. We Cheer 2 is coming out next week on November 3, but today Namco Bandai revealed that a very special guest from the Tekken series will be making a cameo in the Wii cheerleading sequel. I guess to liven up the Workout Mode, Panda will be making an appearance in this mode as she works out to get into fighting form for the next battle in the Iron Fist Tournament.
I don't know what's weirder — that Panda is making a cameo on We Cheer 2 or that Panda's a girl. I never knew! (Although truthfully, I never really gave it much thought, either!) One thing's for sure, the screenshots look absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to get my hands on this game!
Posters for the new Prince of Persia movie starring hunk-o-matic Jake Gyllenhaal are already popping up in theaters around the country. Earlier this week, press was invited to check out a trailer of the upcoming film. Unfortunatley, due to a scheduling conflict, I was unable to attend personally, but as a consolation prize, I can share with you these shots of the dashing Jake, his co-stars Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Seeing as Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner had a hand in the script, one can but hope the film will have a modicum of the original story still left in it. Much will be revealed when the trailer premiers to the public on November 4. Be sure to keep your eyes her on GayGamer that day as we'll be posting it as soon as it's available.
We just got a bunch of new screenshots for the new Prison Break videogame, and it looks like they've done a good job of recreating the Fox River State Penitentiary and the likenesses of the actors for the TV show. The game looks good, but we'll have to wait and see if this falls into the trap of some other licensed games. There's hope because the TV series has already been cancelled, so it's not as though the developer will be rushed to get the game out to coincide with the season premiere or finale or anything.
The game runs parallel to the first season of Prison Break, putting you in the shoes of Company agent Tom Paxton, who is sent to the institution to find out why Michael Scofield suddenly decided to become a bank robber out of nowhere. Paxton will encounter character from the series and experience key moments from the first season from his own perspective. Prison Break is headed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, but no word yet on a potential release date.
I was so intrigued by the trailer and the track list that I saw for the Nintendo DS title Maestro! Jump In Music that I was really hoping that the game would come out in the US as well as its already-scheduled UK release. Unfortunately, contacting the developer left me slightly saddened, although not entirely forlorn.
Currently, no publishing deal has been signed for North America as yet for the DS version, however I was informed that there are discussions for a possible release in Q1 or Q2 of 2010. Well, better late than never, right? On the plus side, Pastagames are also working on an iPhone version of the game featuring three songs instead of the full 24, and a DSiWare version that would include four tunes. They are hoping to make both of those available worldwide. Here's hoping!
(And here's a gallery of screenshots, although the trailer really does a much better job of showing off the unique gameplay...)
Konami recently announced their first DSi title that will be available this fall on DSiWare, and it's a mind-bending platformer called Reflection. Basically, you're a female adventurer tasked with retrieving a magical mirror that has split reality into two parts. That includes your own character, Kirra, and you will have to solve puzzles and explore the environment using both characters in tandem if you hope to restore reality.
"We wanted to come out of the gate with a quality title for our first Nintendo DSi release and Reflection has definitely set the bar high with a great storyline and gameplay features that any player would find compelling," said Anthony Borquez, Vice President of Online Development of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "Nintendo DSi is the optimal device to host a 2D Platformer title and as a downloadable puzzle platformer, Reflection will provide gamers with an experience that can't be missed."
Developed by Intrinsic Games, Reflection was the first Nintendo DS title to win the 2009 Independent Games Festival Award, and also earned the next best mobile game award at the 2009 Game Developer's Conference. I love the creative use of the DS's dual screens, but the idea of controlling both characters at the same time already makes my head hurt, and that's just from looking at the screens I've included below! Yikes!
Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Ryota Niitsuma, producer of Tatsunoko VS Capcom Ultimate All-Stars, revealed that Dead Rising's Frank West will be a playable character in the fighter, which is due to be released on January 26, 2010. Looking at the screenshots, I can see how the baseball bat would be a logical weapon choice, but it also seems like his camera is also a threat. Paparazzi attack? It also looks like he can call up some zombie allies, which is pretty awesome. And hey, after dealing with swarms of the undead, I can't imagine Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is going to pose much of a threat!
Sackboy is set to make his big debut on the PSP soon and Sony has released some new screenshots! I got a chance to play a few levels of it at E3 and it was utterly charming and seems to have lost nothing in its translation from console to handheld. Well, nothing except multiplayer of course. Still, even without an ad hoc mode, the game promises to be good fun for those times when you're on the ruin and only Sackboy will do.
Check out the gallery below for a peek at some of the levels. Wait, is that Jessica Rabbit?
As I type this urgent Gay Tony missive, our own Fruit Brute is on his way to a GayGamer exclusive meeting with the powerful gay nightclub impresario and his brand new expansion pack, The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Meanwhile, Rockstar has released these four screenshots: and we can tell from a glance that while Tony might be gay, his minions are literally flaming. There's a lot of firepower here, is what I'm saying. Explosions. Boom. Fire.
Interested in more than one-word descriptions of the kind of digital mayhem upon which you'll embark as Gay Tony's henchman? Stay tuned for Fruit Brute's hard-hitting expose, coming soon to a browser page near you.
Konami today introduced some character details from its upcoming tactical RPG, Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgment. This new installment of the strategy RPG series is heading for the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network. The game takes place on the continent of Sostegaria, where a war is waging between two kingdoms. Young orphan Tobias Martin recruits a gang of friends to defend his homeland and fight for peace. Deep character customization will see the cast evolving and adapting to various styles of gameplay, but to see who you're starting off with, make the jump for some character descriptions and a gallery!
Boy, I can't wait for October, and not just because I'm already over the heat of summer. No, I just can't wait to get my hands on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Wii. Oh, sure, it's coming out for the PlaySation 2 and the PSP, but really, it's being made for the Wii. I played it when I was at E3, and using the Wiimote to aim your flashlight around the screen and manipulate objects like keys and locks is so much more immersive. Unfortunately, Konami only released a handful of screenshots to go with the new logo, so it'll have to do for now. Oh, and while that scrawny little pink-skinned creature with no face might look lame, let me tell you, when you're stuck in an icy maze being chased by a swarm of them, your opinion will change. Drastically!
Believe it or not, October is just around the corner and with it comes the long awaited launch of Tekken 6! To bide your time until the release on October 27, feel free to rummage through the images below. Sorry fellows, I'm afraid there are no bears in this particular crop of photos. Pixel Poet will be ever so disappointed.
Three more episodes of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years are available for downloading via Wii Ware today, including Porom's Tale: The Vanished Lunar Whale, Edward's Tale: Star-Crossed Damcyan and The Lunarian's Tale: The Blue Planet That Was. And to make sure you're aware of this, Square Enix wanted me to pass along these screenshots for you. Enjoy! And get ready for the final chapter, The Crystals: Planet Eater, due out on September 9!
And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
