Capcom showing some love to the fans. Yesterday, during Valentine's Day, they revealed a handful of new Street Fighter X Tekken videos revealing the final four characters joining the game.

Mass Effect 3 demo out now on Xbox Live Marketplace, demo will be up for other platforms soon

Today is either Happy Single's Appreciation/Valentines Day, Twisted Metal Day, or Mass Effect 3 demo day! That's right, Mass Effect 3's single player demo is now out first on Xbox Live. PS3 and PC will have the demo in a few hours so patience guys, just a few more hours until we try that sweet tech blade and many more!

Just as Bioware promised, the Mass Effect 3 demo will include two single player missions, then a taste of  multiplayer coop which will be released to all players on February 17. For people with the early multiplayer access(via Battlefield 3, etc), you can go and try it out right now together with the single player. The mulitplayer of Mass Effect 3 is a co-op and the demo will include two maps: Slum and Noveria.

I've been trying to download the demo on my Xbox 360 but I keep getting "Can't download this" error right when  I start it. My guess is millions of fans are trying to download the exact same thing, so I'll try again in a few hours.

The single player demo is said to take around 1-2 hours of your time.

Want more info about the demo? Here's the FAQ.

Don't forget, Mass Effect 3 hits stores on March 9 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Mass Effect 3 trailer with Femshep's new look

Bioware made the fans choose Female Shepard's new default appearance from a series of choices. In the end, the fans would rather have a red-head take back earth. This latest trailer for Mass Effect 3 shows the new look and some well-known characters from the second game.

Here's a fun fact. Reason for the change of appearance?? More players preferred playing the default female Shepard than the male. Go figure. I still prefer making my own character.

Bioware also mentioned that Femshep will be in the cover of Mass Effect 3's Collector's Edition.

Mass Effect 3 is in stores March 9 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC

Tons of Pre-Order Deals happening in Datablitz

I visited my favorite local gaming store which is Datablitz and noticed they have new pre-orders for us Filipino gamers. We can now pre-order our copy of Mass Effect 3, Syndicate, SSX, Sims 3: Showtime, FIFA Street, UFC Undisputed 3, and Asura's Wrath. 

Thankfully, all EA games do come out on the said release date here in the Philippines. How I wish that would be the case for all games coming our way, but it's better than nothing I guess.

One of their latest pre-orders is for Mass Effect 3. Pre-order the game with Datablitz and you get the N7 galactic warfare and the M55 Carbine Rifle. The  image above says Rafle, but I'm pretty sure it's a typo and should be Rifle.

Pre-order with them to earn two guns? Not the biggest incentive out there but if you want to go ahead and secure your copy, here's your chance.

Asura's Wrath, Capcom's over the top action game about defying the gods, will also get the pre-order treatment at Datablitz. Pre-ordering the game will earn packs including certain modes that will help you in the game.  Depending on the platform you prefer, determines the bonus you earn for pre-ordering the game.

For the Playstation 3:

Devastator Pack - Includes Guardian Mode which reduces damage and Iconoclast Mode which fills your unlimited gauge faster.

For the Xbox 360:

Infinity Pack - Includes Extinguisher Mode which allows for quicker cooling and recovery after overheating, and Zealot Mode which provides an extended unlimited function

If your hyped for the third game of UFC Undisputed, pre-orders are also available.  Place your pre-order and you earn:

• Exclusive Ultimate Fights: Knockout Pack
• Early Access Pass
• Contendes Fighter Pack
• Ultimate Knockout Artist Boost Pack

Datablitz hasn't given information on the pre-order contents of the other games(Syndicate, SSX, etc), but it's good to know the option is up.

Steam Daily Deal brings RAGE down to $15

For only today, id Software's latest game RAGE is 50% off on Steam. FOR ONLY TODAY, that's why it's called a daily deal after all. So if you've been interested in this shooter, now is the time to give it a try.

How I wish this deal was around before I bought my 360 copy of the game. Oh well, money well spent. The game is around 10- 14 hours long and the gameplay of this game is one of the best you'll ever experience in a shooter.
