“They don’t call Mars ‘the red planet’ for nothing.” Damn right. The giant, red marble spinning around in orbit seems to get bloodier after each game, but what sets Red Faction Armageddon apart from the rest is that the enemy is not only of the human kind this time, as you will kindly be reminded of in the latest trailer for the game which tells the story behind the game. And enjoy the new in-game footage too. Despite what the trailer says though, Red Faction Armageddon remains set for a May 2011 release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Today at THQ’s media event in New York City the publisher announced that Homefront will play favorites with Microsoft and the Xbox 360. Announced was that all DLC for the war-at-home shooter Homefront will arrive on the Xbox 360 before hitting the PS3 or PC. Currently, Activision employs a similar timed exclusive strategy with its mega popular Call of Duty brand. And will for another two years . Additionally, Xbox 360 owners will receive a platform-exclusive multiplayer map “Suburbs” on launch day. Though again, as a timed exclusive. Homefront hits Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on March 8 in North America and 11th in Europe.
Rumors around the PlayStation Phone – the latest example of Sony’s poor secret keeping – continue to swirl. Kotaku reports that the latest rumor comes from Japanese newspaper, Asahi Shimbun, which outlines seasonal launch timing, markets and a few features for the not-so-fabled gaming telephone. The paper reports that the PlayStation Phone could go on sale initially n the U.S. and Europe next spring, supporting previous timing rumors of March 2011. It also reports that the phone will be based on the PSPgo (ugh) and use similar PSPgo-style controls, supporting previously leaked video and images. UMD and memory sticks are also said to be eliminated (double ugh). If rumored launch timing of spring 2011 is to be believed that hopefully means Sony will stop this madness by making an announcement soon. More rumors have pegged Mobile World Congress , the mobile tradeshow taking place during February 14-17, as the big stage.
Here’s the latest trailer out of Japan for the upcoming Dissidia 012 duodecim Final Fantasy , featuring lots of Final Fantasy -flavored fighting and fan service.
