NIS America’s latest digital release, Cladun X2, has found its way on to Steam. In Caldun you take on the role of wandering adventurer trapped in a world the size of pocket. Just because the landscape is small, doesn’t mean that Caldun doesn’t bring a full sized fun factor with three different type of dungeons, the ability to grind your character into infinity (literally) and much more.
There’s probably no better way to spend the last dog days of summer than grinding away all day and night. Sure, that’s probably not plausible for the majority of us, but the charming 16-bit inspired art style should draw in the most jaded old school RPG fanatic.
Check out screenshots after the jump. The game is available on PC for $19.99 USD!Read More

During GamesCom Sony took the wraps off of firmware version 1.8 for the PlayStation Vita. Before you groan and mumble *not another firmware update* you should know that this update adds a few highly requested features including the ability to play PS One classics on the system.
Starting in two weeks, on August 28th, you’ll be able to play FFVII and Tomb Raider II on the PS Vita. These two classics were announced during Sony’s E3 press conference this past June. We’re not sure why they don’t just open up the ability for all available PS ONE classics to be enjoyed on the Vita. Perhaps due to the different architecture of the system. You can also use the PS Vita as a PS3 controller!
Head on over after the jump for the full list of new features including the ability to navigate the home menu using the systems buttons OMG.Read More

It seems like just yesterday I was expressing my excitement over AC3’s naval warfare and today we already have a new trailer for the seafaring combat!
As Connor, you’ll lead your crew through rough waters and into battle against enemy ships. This interests me most of all being a fan of Skies of Arcadia which while AC3 isn’t an RPG, the naval combat tactics of coming alongside your enemy and releasing a barrage of cannon fire ring true. Playing out this kind of engagement sounds fantastic and set in the American Revolution AC3 is shaping up to be an amazing sequel.

The Killzone franchise is coming to the PlayStation Vita in the near future (presumably 2013) with the announcement of Killzone Mercenary. Sony showcased a brief live action/gameplay trailer during their media presentation.
This is just pure speculation but the live action showcases a mercenary making his way through what seems to be an industrial facility. On the gameplay front we see the same character (we presume) performing brutal neck snaps and ranking up experience points for every kill. Could this be an indication of the series awesome multiplayer making the jump to the Vita? Perhaps Mercenary devaites from the established formula?
IGN reports that the game will utilize touch controls. This is not surprising since every first party title has made use of the touchscreen, analog buttons and gyro sensors. It would make sense that Killzone Mercenary would take full advantage of the system’s capabilities.
We have more questions than answers right now, but we should know more later this afternoon. Keep your eyes on the official playstation blog as they are set to reveal new information about Mercenary later today.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is going to be one monster of a game, we already know that. I mean, Microsoft is streaming multiplayer footage on Xbox Live and surely thousands of people will tune in just to catch a glimpse of the action.
Well, Activision is bringing the action right to us in the form of screenshots as well. In this latest gallery of multiplayer screenshots we get a look at a few of the weapons including a set of dual pistols, a submachine gun with a red-dot-sight attachment and lots of action as players defend/assault control points.
Activision promises lots more BLOPS II news as GamesCom continues in Germany this week!

MMORPG Rift is set to expand with the release of Storm Rift, the game’s first official expansion, later this fall. Trion Worlds hopes to entice existing and returning players by offering the expansion free of charge with a one year commitment to the game. Subscribers who shell out for the one year commitment will also receive the title of ‘Storm bringer” and an in-game “Landslide” mount.
Storm Rift is set to offer players ten addition character levels, a dozen brand new zones and customizable spaces called Dimensions.
If this particular strategy seems familiar, that’s because it is essentially the same deal Blizzard offered World of Warcraft subscribers last fall. Although, Blizzard was offering players a free copy of Diablo III for their commitment. Will Trion’s enticing free expansion be enough to lure fans of the game back? We’ll have to wait and see.
