Terminator Salvation - the video game

In Terminator Salvation the videogame, based on the upcoming Terminator Salvation film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Sony Pictures, players assume the role of John Connor, a soldier in the resistance, battling for survival against the far superior forces of Skynet.

Terminator Salvation the videogame is an intense action-packed third-person shooter featuring concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film and new killer machines specifically designed for the game. Taking place two years before the events of the upcoming film set in a post apocalyptic, decimated Los Angeles, players will be lead through a visceral, story and character driven gaming experience.

Featuring intense third-person action, Terminator Salvation the videogame will take combat to the next level with iconic enemies, cinematic fight sequences and advanced weaponry, drawn directly from the film, as well as an innovative, multi-layered cover mechanic.

MotorStorm festival off-road racer Artic Edge on PSP and PlayStation 2

Brutal off-road racing, MotorStorm Arctic Edge, arrives on PSP (PlayStation Portable) and PlayStation 2

Multi-route tracks, unpredictable terrain, hostile AI and sub-zero conditions: never race the same lap twice!

The MotorStorm festival has ripped-up the Monument Valley desert, it’s obliterated everything that stood in its path on The Island, and now it’s set for a whole new challenge. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is delighted to announce that MotorStorm Arctic Edge is set to arrive in Autumn 2009 for PAL territories and will be available on PSP (PlayStation Portable) and also on PlayStation 2.

Developed by award-winning Bigbig Studios, the team behind the best-selling Pursuit Force series, MotorStorm Arctic Edge sees the music, the festival and the brutal off-road racing arrive in the breathtaking yet lethal and unpredictable setting of Alaska. With temperatures plummeting, sudden avalanches, broken ice bridges, and three different racing altitudes, this is possibly the most inhospitable environment the MotorStormers have ever had to deal with. With grip at a premium, and in addition to the six existing classes from the original MotorStorm, two new vehicles have been introduced to combat the ice, the cold and the snow - the Snowcat and the Snow Machine. One has the power and size to blast through packed snow, whilst the other has the grip and pace to combat most of what the sub-zero conditions can throw at it.

MotorStorm Arctic Edge is great for single player action, online multiplayer or playing with friends; two to eight players can compete against each other wirelessly via Ad Hoc Mode on PSP. Alternatively, you can also compete via online multiplayer using Infrastructure Mode on PSP to make it to the summit of the online global leaderboards.

A further new introduction to the MotorStorm festival is personalisation of your vehicle class. Each vehicle in the game has a selection of different parts - for example wheels, exhausts, spoilers - liveries and stickers to choose from. Players can also create their own liveries from a set of base patterns and decals. There are so many combinations that each player could own a unique vehicle!

MotorStorm Arctic Edge comes exclusively to PSP and PlayStation 2 hot on the heels of the multi million selling titles MotorStorm and MotorStorm Pacific Rift.

The end of 2009 is going to be as cold and challenging as it gets. So lose your t-shirt and your shorts, keep hold of sunglasses and grab your thermals – it’s time to take a trip to the top of the world to see if you can conquer the most unwelcoming terrain the planet has to offer.

CID Crash Impact Dummy video game info

Mia has grown, and is struggling with the fact that Professor B M Werken wants her to be his little girl when she wants to be her own person.

D-Troit is pure evil and has his own Crash Impact Dummy manufacturing plant, now joint market leader with the Professor’s outfit. His Crash Test Dummies are a little evil-looking though. There’s just... something about them. There’s still a little tiny piece of good in him, mind you, and that’s important.

D-Troit wants revenge on the Professor for something he did in the past but what? How can D-Troit avenge the wrong he feels? Easy, steal the one thing that’s precious to the Professor, Mia.

The Professor is distraught and must regain his precious Mia. He turns to what he knows and trusts, selecting CID one of his crash impact dummies to save the day and recover his daughter. Sure, CID has heard about Mia, all the dummies have and like all the other dummies, CID has heard rumours that she’s the most beautiful girl in the world. As the boss’s daughter, they all thought she was untouchable. But... given the chance to rescue her? That’d show them something, right? It’d show that a mere Crash Impact Dummy, a nobody, a guy stuck in a job that he hates through no choice of his own - it’d show that he really can be something…….

Move to ban RapeLay Japanese rape video game

A call to ban a Japanese rape game RapeLay has been called for.

Parents are "appalled" that a computer game allowing players to simulate violently raping women and children is available for sale on the internet.

They hit out at Japanese game RapeLay which lets players stalk and assault a female character on the subway before moving on to rape her two young daughters.

Players can also enter a "freedom mode" where they can attack other women and get other male characters to join in.

The game was offered for sale until recently by online retailer Amazon.com and eBay but has now been withdrawn.

It was developed by the firm Illusion, which makes a number of sexually violent games for the Japanese market.

Politicians say they "firmly believes that video games featuring high levels of violence can be detrimental to those playing them".

Bakugan 'toy of the year' new video game out soon

Activision announce an agreement with Corus Entertainment Nelvana Enterprises to develop and distribute video games based on the breakout hit toy and wildly popular action animated television series Bakugan. The first Bakugan game will be released for Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems in the fall of 2009.

“Bakugan’s success in 2008 speaks for itself and we’re confident it will be even bigger in 2009,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “It is our goal to expand this proven property in a way that both fans and gamers will love.”

“Ever since Bakugan exploded in popularity, players have been clamoring for a video game version,” said Doug Murphy, President, Nelvana and GM, Corus Kids. “We share our fans’ excitement in doing battle in an interactive Bakugan world!”

Bakugan tells the story of Dan and his friends as they battle their Bakugan Brawlers to save the planet of Vestroia and, ultimately, Earth from destruction. The series airs on Cartoon Network in the United States and internationally, and on TELETOON in Canada. The toy line, developed by Spin Master Ltd., brings action to the popular genre of collectible trading card games with marble-like Bakugan spheres that transform into “battle brawling” action figures when rolled onto special game cards. A genuine toy craze in the 2008 holiday season, Bakugan recently won three “Toy of the Year” awards from The Toy Industry Association: overall Toy of the Year, Boy Toy of the Year, and Property of the Year.

The video games, under development by veteran Japanese studio NOW Production, will render the elements that made Bakugan a worldwide phenomenon into mind-blowing digital experiences. Everything a Bakugan enthusiast and gamer would love is here - intense battles, the ability to create your own Brawler, cartoon quality graphics and multiplayer combat.
