ESRB rates Devil May Cry HD Collection

The ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) has recently rated the Devil May Cry games on PS2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This bascially confirms that a DMC HD Collection is real even with no announcement from Capcom. Given that it's the series' 10th anniversary this year, this comes as no surprise.

The HD collection is said to have the first 3 Devil May Cry games that have been released on the PS2 in the past.

DBZ Ultimate Tenkaichi - Hero Mode Boss Battle

Now the giant boss battles here look exactly the same as in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm but I don't really mind as I just look at this as the 'icing on the cake'. From simplistic patterns to easy quick time events, just think of it as a fun little mini game in the Dragon Ball universe.

What I would like to point out in this video is at the 1:33 mark, we get to see a custom Saiyan character go Super Saiyan which answers the question in my previous post. However, this still leaves the other question I asked unanswered. Will you only be able to create Saiyans?

In case you wanted to take a peek at how the character creation menu looks, here's a vid.

Watch this video. There's a Daigo challenge, a Bible Black reference, a Gurren Lagann reference, and a whole bunch of Ken players online. It's Two Best Friends Play - Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition.

The best friends continue their epic journey to troll each other via electronic video games until one of them dies, or enters the new world of Street Fighter 3.

Dead Island reviews are up - Some good, some bad..

Dead Island gets released this week and it's only right that reviews start showing up on the net.  Some praise it, some are frustrated by it in a technical level but so far it's currently more on the positive side. Not perfect scores, but not horribly low ones either. Here's a list of review scores so far..

IGN - 8.0

Eurogamer - 6/10

Gameinformer - 8.5

Destructioid - 7/10

Gametrailers - 8.5/10

Ausgamers - 8.1/10

Joystiq - 3/5

From what I've been reading, the game has been getting praise on what it's meant to give, some good co-op zombie slaying fun. Add skill trees, level ups, 30+ hours of game time, and a choice for a new game+ after? man I can see myself already getting lost in this game with a couple of friends. The biggest issues most of the reviews mentions are quest bugs, glitches, voice acting, and a story that I too will ignore when I start playing. I expect the story to be in the same level as Borderlands, horrible.

Reading these reviews just sealed the deal if I wanted to buy the game on day one. Interested in the game? nice! but to get the full effect of Dead Island, I suggest you find a friend or three. Dead Island is out tom Sept 6 on NA, and will be out for the rest of the world on Sept 9 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

If you have other review scores to add on the list, hit the comments.

Borderlands 2 gameplay leaked to YouTube

I'm pretty excited for Borderlands 2 and thanks to this leaked video showing some gameplay footage of the game, we now have a clear picture on how this sequel is shaping up. It's 14 minutes of gameplay showing a lot of new things like new weapons, characters,  and even a new menu interface that looks badass.

The video shows the player playing as Salvador the Gunzerker, the new version of the Berserker class back in the first game. While Brick tosses his guns and uses his fists to wreak havoc, Salvador instead picks up another gun and just starts shooting like a crazy man. Any gun can be dual wielded with Salvador's skill.They even show the new type of guns, like what they call the Wal-Mart-inspired rifle that instead of reloading, you toss the gun and it explodes and a similar gun materialize out of nowhere all loaded up.
