Macross Ace Frontier has been in news lately for all its futuristic mechas and the 3D fighting. Now the new version may have a lot of planes or robots as suggested by the pictures. CyberConnect2 and publisher Namco Bandai revealed the images and also a lot of information. They also revealed that Macross Frontier will offer more than 80 missions for sure and a quarantine of characters. Fleets of Mechas will have to guard the fortress and fight away biomechanical creatures and the online mode allows up to 4 players to compete. Though it will be released only in Japan this year-end, the possibility that it might be released elsewhere later has not been ruled out.

Ever since Activison and Blizzard made things a whole lot interesting in the gaming biz, gamers have been anxious about the fate of several anticipated titles. One such game is Double Fine’s Brutal Legend. Despite a potential sale of Sierra, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer posted a message yesterday which simply read: “Brutal Legend is fine.” That’ll put at rest several who did fear worse when Activision Blizzard did not include Vivendi/Sierra-published game in its release list. That said upcoming Ghostbusters is likely to be picked up by another publisher, as sources would have it. Maybe Brutal Legend will go the same way. This streamlining is tough business I tell you.

P.S.: The weevil bit is pure brilliance!

PS3 owners are in for an unexpected treat. There’s a PS3 firmware update available – Firmware 2.42 – for download. Sony did not give anything on this one in advance and now says that Firmware 2.42 will improve playback quality of some PS3 and PlayStation format software. (How about a real reason though!) Some sites would have us believe that the trophies load up faster with this one. We’ll keep you updated as we download it and experience it first hand. Or do it yourself you lazybones.

Xbox fans have a treat in store, for Microsoft recently unveiled the upcoming Live Arcade titles. The ones in the card are games like Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 and has 6 action packed gameplay modes, new enemies, scoring strategies and a huge list of achievements. The next game is the Braid, which has been developed by the critically acclaimed Jonathan BLow and is a mind-boggling puzzle platformer. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a classic 8-bit side scroller that will keep you engaged with its HD graphics. Galaga Legions is a reimaging of the classic arcade shooter where as the Castle Crashers which features hand drawn characters and an awesome weapons collection. The list definitely looks better than the ones released by WiiWare and PSN titles

If you had been waiting for MHP 2ndG in English, you may have something to look forward to. Recently 1UP released a preview of the Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G that, however, is in Japanese. Speculations suggest that a downloadable patch might be made available for the owners of Monster Hunter Freedom 2. The updates for MHP 2ndG Section do not have any drastic updates except for a few minor additions. The problem with most Japanese games is that they do not provide support and updates for English speakers and most people miss out on the awesome Japanese games, which can’t be understood by those who don’t speak Japanese. One will have to wait for the MHP 2ndG to be released in English.

Dunno if you need too many reasons to love your PS3 even more. Then again too much is not enough for us humans. PlayTV PVR is a Freeview digital TV receiver box for PS3 and promises to transform your gaming console into a little media center in its own right. PlayTV connects to television aerial and then it uses USB to connect to PS3. From there you can schedule to watch and even record freeview television right on PS3. The best thing perhaps is that user will not be required to stop gaming and the little add on will work quietly in the background so long as USB is connected and you have firmware version 2.41. The price tag around £60 and the UK release date is 10th September, 2008. Plenty of time to get that hard drive expanded I believe.

Okay as things stand, we love spidey. We love him even more so when he jumps and spins webs on our consoles. But throw Wolverine in to the mix and we’re talking mint…O’ mama! A trailer of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows has hit the web and has elicited lots of oohs and aahs from us gaming fans. The video from Activision is your usual Spiderman doing some crazy stunts but the end of the video is main attraction. There spidey meets Wolverine in a symbiotic mode. The game looks amazing and already has some of us fast forward to fall when it debuts on all the major platforms. Less talking and more watching now; hit jump for a friggin awesome video!

Any talks about Poker tables and Gambling will transport me to the world of Daniel Craig from the movie Casino Royale *Drools* Ahem Ahem! I should rather talk about the device. Cantor Gaming has unleashed a unique, wireless hand-held gaming baby named eDeck for the gambling hoppers. The makers have spent a good 5 years in developing this gaming device only to please the Casino patrons. Few simple steps like setting up an account and logging in on the device will take you the world of casino favorites like blackjack, baccarat, slots, video poker and roulette. Cantor’s proprietary games including Bonus Roulette, XtraOdds Baccarat and Statjack are soon going to make it to its collection of games. High Limit Slot Salon at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas seems to be the playing ground as of now. During the prelim trial, the device will work only in the high-stakes slots lounge. On success of the same, the wireless network will allow you to either make holes in your pocket or probably stitch the old ones.

If you were familiar with the various download services online, you would know that Steam is one of the best download services online for those of us who love gaming. The interesting part is every time they put up a new game, within a couple of days 50 percent or more would be sold out. This time, they are offering Bioshock, one of the best games around for a throw away price. This game features visually terrific first person shooter and was developed by 2K Games. Who wouldn’t want to explore ‘rapture’ the underwater city and manipulate the ‘Little Sisters’. If these terms sound unfamiliar to you, you must go ahead and get the game for $14.99 before Monday. We hear a sequel is also in the works.

Gaming freaks need not read this (can cause them to be infuriated), though casual gamers are most welcome to witness this weirdness. It seems like someone got too impressed with all-in-one devices such as MIU HDPC and thought of doing something similar to game pad. As a result we’ve got a mockery of a game pad named M.A.D (Micro Action Driving?). Game Pad. I am bit exaggerating but M.A.D.’s usability is restricted to just being a normal game pad, though it’s got a lil tiny driving wheel but I doubt that it’s of any use other than playing one or two rounds of a race, because after that you’ll get bored of it.

Several fans of the series aren’t too convinced with the whole idea of Mortal Kombat vs. DCU, but put a little more gore in the game and people will flip flop. This is exactly what seems to be on the cards. Good folks at Kotaku got hold of series co-creator Ed Boon and questioned him on the elements of the game. He reported that MK 9 may strive for more blood, more violence and more gore – a recipe for an M-rating surely. So while people may still not be onboard with the whole Scorpion vs. Superman (Sonya vs. Catwoman for the ladies) idea gamers would surely get onboard with promise of more violence. It would be interesting to see, however, how the storyline incorporates so many diverse characters. Maybe a little novelty in gameplay will rekindle the dying franchise. If you still can’t stop bitchin’ about the game I suggest you shut up till the game sees consoles.

‘Red’ for the colour of passion every Xbox enthusiast plays the game with and Devil for the ‘Devil’ the game evokes within you, the wireless Xbox controller has come up with an all-new red colour for the award-winning controller. Slated for a release by the end of September, the red-coloured version would retail for $65. Other than the new-tinge, it brags off a 30 feet gaming distance. The non-stop play feature has also been incorporated with the play and charge cable. The left and right shoulder buttons also get a new moulding alongwith the black coloured accents. All in all it is an offering which most of the Xbox buffs would go for provided they don’t spend the rest of the day being hoochie’s with money for nothing but weed.

We had already written about the planned DC Comics characters being used in Video Games earlier. Now to substantiate that, Sony Online Entertainment is going to introduce DC Universe Online at the Comic-Con International Show at San Diego. The game has a multi-player platform and players can create their own superhero or villain and work with or against other DC comics’ characters like Superman, Wonder Woman etc. As one progresses through their hero/villain story, they can join the Justice League of America in the Watch Tower or the Legion of Doom in the Hall of Doom. The game offers physics based combat action, which has never been seen before in an MMO game. The game won’t be shipped for Playstation 3 and PC this year but can be played at the six kiosks on the show floor.

Eurogamer reports that PS3 will get Alone in the Dark this November. Atari will be indeed releasing a PS3 version after more than five months of the game debuting on all the other platforms. Wonder if Eden will take time to remove the issues that gameplay and occasionally graphics are witnessing? Maybe even add some extra content! Some of you may not know too much about the game and for those I’d just recount the storyline as it stands. The survival horror genre-based game puts you in the shoes of Edward Carnby who investigates supernatural through the city of NY. The game is quite open ended and allows gamers to explore a lot on their own. Wii version is being touted as the best on the platforms but I haven’t experienced it first hand. Would rather wait till this fall.
