E3 2012: New Gears Of War Titled, Gameinformer Cover Revealed
The next entry in the Gears Of War franchise will be called Gears Of War Judgement. The two covers for July’s issue of Gameinformer feature an imprisoned set of familiar characters. The first one is Damon Baird, the second one features Augustus Cole. Again not much information, but it looks like the focus might be taken away from Marcus Fenix this time around.
Come back on Monday for more information from the Microsoft E3 press conference.
Ni No Kuni Launching On January 22, 2013 In The US, January 25 In The UK
The Level-5/Studio Ghibli collaboration JRPG, Ni No Kuni, will be hitting UK stores next year, January 25 to be exact. The game was received fairly favourably, but not being a fan of JRPGs, I have no clue what to think about the game, it sure is aesthetically pleasing though. This is the PS3 version of the game that launched last year in Japan and is also expected to arrive in the US territories next year on January 22.

GT.TV has gone live with quite a lot of trailers before E3 has even begun, most of them coming from Konami and their pre-E3 conference. Mercury Steam are working on a sequel to the 2010 release of Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow, a game that was received pretty averagely by critics and gamers. This trailer teases the reveal of a familiar face for modern Castlevania fans.
Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 will be launching sometime in 2013.
E3 2012: First Public Gameplay Of Dishonored Shown In New Trailer
Besides animated .gif files anyway…
This new trailer doesn’t buck the trend of making this game look awesome, a dark steampunk atmosphere mixed with stealth and supernatural powers make for a great mix as shown in the trailer.
Dishonored launches in October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
E3 2012: Metal Gear Rising Gets Exclusive Demo In The Zone Of The Enders HD Collection
Just like the first Zone Of The Enders game, the HD collection will be bundled with a demo for a Metal Gear game, this time around the Raiden focused Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will get an exclusive demo inside the Zone Of The Enders HD Collection.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was also put down for an early 2013 release on the pre-E3 GT.TV special. Here is the “short” version of the trailer shown on GT.TV.
E3 2012: Trailer And Release Date For Tomb Raider Revealed
The new reboot for the Tomb Raider series will be launching March 5 next year, as long as Crystal Dynamics work on top of what they have already shown then this is going to be a fantastic game. The trailer they released via a GTTV exclusive (video from IGN) shows quite a lot of the set up of the game and a lot of action. This will be one to watch for next year and I can’t wait to try it out when it launches.
People looking forward to seeing more of Tomb Raider should tune into the Microsoft E3 press conference on Monday for another demo of the game.

Sony haven’t quite given up on the Playstation Move just yet with the announcement of a sequel to Sports Champions. This time the sports featured include boxing, tennis, golf, bowling and skiing as well as an updated version of the archery from the first game.
Sony, has anyone told you there’s a big event happening next week where game companies reveal new games and hardware etc.
Expect Sony to show games like God Of War: Ascension, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault, Playstation All Stars Battle Royale and hopefully some surprise announcements at their press conference at E3 next week.
Tokyo Jungle TV Spot
This is the side of Japan I like, crazy, inventive and absolutely bonkers video games and advertising. Hopefully this game will see a release in the western markets as a download on the PSN.
Tokyo Jungle is set for release in Japan next week for PS3.
