Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai opens up its manly heart
by Jessica Conditt 
on Sep 24th 2011 9:30PM
If we didn't know any better (and we generally don't), we'd think Cabela's has gone soft on us. A new trailer for Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai has all the nasty beasties and ferocious growling that any hunting game should, but it also has a heart -- in the trailer, it appears our hunting hero saves a helpless woman from the dark and cold, um, shadows of Katmai, which is not a fantastical land east of Rivendell. The woman, however, is still pretty helpless, because this is a hunting game for real men, and it takes a certain amount of distressed-damsel-saving to maintain such an illustrious title.

That's right, get excited folks. The game's final release date will be announced for Japan at the Tokyo Game Show later this week but is likely to be December for Japan and January for the rest of the world. Word has surfaced that gamers will have the option to raise up to 150 monsters as well as travel through time. The overall length of the game will be shorter than Final Fantasy XIII but it will feature a large number of new features.
A lot of the characters from the original will return in the sequel, and some will be playable at Tokyo Game Show later this week as well.
Are you excited for this sequel? Or would you rather Square Enix continue on elsewhere?

Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and more dated
by JC Fletcher on Sep 13th 2011 10:25AM
Not content with the mini-flood of 3DS news out of last night's Nintendo 3DS Conference? Nintendo of America has some exciting news tailored to American tastes, including release dates for its two biggest upcoming 2011 releases.
on Sep 13th 2011 10:25AMNot content with the mini-flood of 3DS news out of last night's Nintendo 3DS Conference? Nintendo of America has some exciting news tailored to American tastes, including release dates for its two biggest upcoming 2011 releases. Super Mario 3D Land will travel into America (and into your screen, thanks to the 3D effect) on November 13; it'll be followed by automotive adventure Mario Kart 7 on December 4, which now has a gyro-controlled first-person mode. You know, for the real feeling of being atop a tiny go-kart driving into a banana peel. Check out a trailer after the break.
Additionally, the Wii's Mario/Dragon Quest board game, Fortune Street, is teaching us Slime economics on December 5, and the DS Fossil Fighters sequel is coming November 14. What we won't see this year is Paper Mario for 3DS -- that, along with Luigi's Mansion 2, is slated for 2012.

Secretariat (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)
The "greatest racehorse of all time" mantle fits easily around the neck of Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown winner. So why not a movie version of this champion's life? Secretariat begins in the late '60s, with some good behind-the-scenes material on how thoroughbreds come to be (there's flavorful atmosphere inside the horsey world, including an account of Secretariat's ownership being decided by a coin flip as part of an old-school agreement). A highly lacquered Diane Lane plays Penny Chenery, the inheritor of her father's stables, who segues from being an all-American mom to running a major horse-racing franchise; reliable character-actor support comes in the form of John Malkovich, as a gaudily outfitted trainer, and Margo Martindale, as Chenery's assistant. Screenwriter Mike Rich and director Randall Wallace must do some heavy lifting to make Lane's privileged millionaire into some sort of underdog--luckily, the hidebound traditions of the male-dominated racing scene provide some sources of outrage. The need to stack the deck even more leads the movie into its more contrived scenes, unfortunately, as though we needed dastardly villains in order to root for Penny and her horse. Meanwhile, attempts to reach for a little Seabiscuit-style social relevance don't come off, and a curious religious undertone might make you wonder whether we're meant to assume that God chose Secretariat over some less-deserving equine. The actual excitement of the races can't be denied, however, and Secretariat's awe-inspiring win at the Belmont Stakes remains a jaw-dropping, still-unequaled display of domination in that event. And maybe in sports. --Robert HortonPrice: $29.99

As you know by now, Cole McGrath is joining the fray in the PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter x Tekken. So why not celebrate by checking some more footage of him in action? You'll have to forgive the Street Fighter design he has been done up in as well.
Looking pretty good, here's hoping he'll be available on the PlayStation 3 version of the game as well.

NintendoWare Weekly: MotoHeroz, Mega Man

[TGS '11, Vita] New Vita Details, Japan Release Date
See, this is why the handheld gaming industry is going down the tube. They're trying to turn these things into what are essentially smart phones, but they only end up more expensive with worse battery life and less software.
The reason the DS and Advance gameboy lined sold so well was due to the fact that they were truly game-dedicated, portable handheld gaming machines. Take for instance the DSi. It had upwards of 10 hours in battery life, it fit easily in your pocket, the controls were smooth, it was a cinch to program for which made it heavenly for developers and provided more games for the consumer.
Now examine the current state of handhelds- 1/3 the battery life, gimmicks up the arse, a pitiful selection of games compared to what was previously offered, and too much bulk to ever being capable of fitting in your pocket. It's just a fail, up and down.
3DS needs to get better battery life, forget the extra circle pad and move on, drop the price another $50, and focus on steller 1st and third party software. If it does that, it'll do great. But, who knows when and if that will happen.
Likewise, the vita needs to get better battery life, get even a measly 8gb of on-board memory (which would NOT be that big of a deal), and stop focusing on all these "extra features" and more on pumping out some stellar titles. In a way, in its in the same boat as 3DS, except it costs $70 more, which currently gives it a huge disadvantage.
These manufacturers just don't get it: cheap, long-lastly, small, with great games. That's what a truly great handheld should be.

The Pirate Movie [VHS]
![The Pirate Movie [VHS]](http://scamfreepower.com/images/51FX89WBM6LSL500.jpg)
Who would've guessed that the best film of 2006 would be a 37-year-old thriller about the French Resistance during World War II? Hailed as a masterpiece by an overwhelming majority of reputable critics, Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows wasn't officially released in America until 2006 (hence its appearance on many of that year's top-ten lists), but its reputation as a French classic was already well-established throughout Europe. Fully restored in 2004 and released in the U.S. by Rialto Pictures, it represents the gold standard of films about the French Resistance, based upon Joseph Kessel's 1943 novel and imbued with personal touches by Melville, an Alsatian Jew whose own involvement in the Resistance qualifies Army of Shadows as a semi-autobiographical exercise in somber nostalgia, as indicated by an opening quote echoing Melville's ironic belief that memories of Nazi occupation needn't always be traumatic.Having lived through this history, Melville doesn't treat it lightly; in Army of Shadows, the threat of death hangs over every scene like a shroud. Unfolding with flawless precision, the plot begins in 1942 and focuses on a small, secretive band of Resistance fighters led by Gerbier (Lino Ventura), whose intuitive sense of danger lends additional suspense to the film's dark, atmospheric study of grace under pressure. While working in the classical tradition of the Hollywood films he admired, Melville breaks from convention with lengthy, deliberately paced scenes in which tension builds to a subtle yet almost unbearable intensity. With the possible exception of a brief and wryly humorous scene involving Resistance leader (and future Prime Minister) Gen. Charles de Gaulle, every scene in Army of Shadows supports Melville's predominant themes of solitude and futility. Melville's visually and thematically bleak outlook may prove challenging for some, but Army of Shadows is remarkably beautiful in its own way, and it gains power with each additional viewing through flawless development of memorable characters played by a first-rate cast. Especially memorable is Simone Signoret as Gerbier's boldly pragmatic ally Mathilde, a woman in a war of men, with a tragic vulnerability that ultimately decides her fate. As intellectually stimulating as it is thrilling to experience, Army of Shadows represents the triumphant zenith of Melville's posthumous recognition as a world-class auteur. Thanks to the Criterion Collection, this masterpiece can now be widely appreciated, along with Criterion's previous DVD releases of Melville's earlier classics Bob Le Flambeur, Le Samourai, and Le Cercle Rouge. --Jeff Shannon

IGN - 9/10 - "Gears of War 3 represents state-of-the-art design and gameplay where you become the king badass among a gory world of bad-asses. Every third-person, cover-based shooter from here on out will likely be compared to Gears 3, and it provides a fitting and poignant-- if sometimes cheesy -- closing chapter to the trilogy. The noted hitches, design decisions and ‘been-there, done-that’ feel of much of the content colors the overall experience, but it certainly didn’t keep me from having one hell of a good time. I imagine you’ll feel the same."

I imagine you’ll feel the same." 1UP - A- - "As time goes on, it's clear that more developers will invest in this strategy of becoming a "mega-game" with a shelf-life that goes far beyond the game's release week. Call of Duty's doing it, Gears is following suit, Valve's got multiple titles including Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and the upcoming Counter-Strike: GO that are doing the same thing. As amazing as all these games are, there just isn't enough time to invest and play all of them to their fullest. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that with Gears of War 3, but I know those of you that do choose to do so will have a blast."
Eurogamer - 8/10 - "Gears of War 3, then. In its multiplayer, all you could have reasonably asked for; in its visuals, new heights reached, while cracks of old age are papered over; in its story, a fitting conclusion; and in its campaign, though short of the consistent brilliance of its predecessor, a mostly rousing and memorable spectacle. So where do you go after "bigger, better and more badass?" You go to your fans and give them that which they crave. But now Epic has surely exhausted the formula in its current form - and, probably, on current-gen - the really exciting question is: where next?"
GameTrailers - 9.4/10 - "Gears of War 3 is a fantastic experience that's sure to make new fans with innovative new multiplayer options that give players plenty of room to experiment and find their niche. There are moments in every act of the campaign that would serve as grand finales in most other games, and it's done so well that it will make you want to play through the whole series all over again."
GameSpot - 9.5/10 - "Though it is an undeniably intense shooter, it scales very well to accommodate a range of skill levels. This is just one facet of the pervasive attention to detail that suffuses the whole game and gives you the sense that you are experiencing the pinnacle of the series. From the taut Versus competition to the two great cooperative modes, Gears of War 3 delivers immensely entertaining experiences on both sides of The Locust War. But the real triumph is the campaign, a masterpiece of exciting gameplay and emotional storytelling that stands head and shoulders above its predecessors. Even if you don't remember where you were on Emergence Day, this is one adventure you won't soon forget."

Square Enix head Yoichi Wada sees a gaming future in the clouds
by Ben Gilbert on Sep 14th 2011 10:33PM
Tokyo Game Show 2011 is officially on, with today's keynote, delivered by Square Enix prez Yoichi Wada, kicking things off. Despite Mr. Wada's position at the JRPG giant, he's here speaking as the chairman of the Computer Entertainment Software Association, which means he had some pretty high level content to get through in his speech. In fact, his keynote is named, "The Nature of the Industry Revolution of Games." 
"There's a surge ... a flood of all these changes that came all at one time," Wada said. "I think we have just experienced the first tide, and we've yet to experience the second or third waves which will happen in the years to come." The first wave, he said, has been the rise of Smartphones and the move away from sheer processing power as a driving force in the game/console sales. He cited examples as the iPhone, the Nintendo DS, and the modern PC as pushing this first wave. But what's next?
on Sep 14th 2011 10:33PMTokyo Game Show 2011 is officially on, with today's keynote, delivered by Square Enix prez Yoichi Wada, kicking things off. Despite Mr. Wada's position at the JRPG giant, he's here speaking as the chairman of the Computer Entertainment Software Association, which means he had some pretty high level content to get through in his speech. In fact, his keynote is named, "The Nature of the Industry Revolution of Games." First and foremost, he's all about the cloud. No, not that Cloud, but the one that allows for remote gaming. "I think the cloud is a real revolution," Wada explained. In his eyes, he's got a variety of electronics with "huge processing power" -- processing power that could be harnessed for new gameplay experiences. "If you could concentrate such processing power on the cloud, then there's going to be a huge paradigm shift," he added.
As for when this "paradigm shift" will happen, Wada is less clear. According to his presentation, he expects a move in that direction anywhere between now and 2015. In the meantime, he believes we're only just now experiencing the first in several new waves of change in the game industry.
"There's a surge ... a flood of all these changes that came all at one time," Wada said. "I think we have just experienced the first tide, and we've yet to experience the second or third waves which will happen in the years to come." The first wave, he said, has been the rise of Smartphones and the move away from sheer processing power as a driving force in the game/console sales. He cited examples as the iPhone, the Nintendo DS, and the modern PC as pushing this first wave. But what's next? While he's not sure, he posited that perhaps hologram-based gaming could be the next step. That may force gamers to return to dedicated game consoles -- it's innovation that's driving the market.
What are we taking from his guess? Wada has clearly seen the future. And it's holodecks.

Between your comments and the input of Team Joystiq, we've narrowed the Joystiq T-shirt Contest down to just six finalists. Exciting, we know! But before we pick the winner, we're looking for one last round of input from you guys and gals.

But before we pick the winner, we're looking for one last round of input from you guys and gals. We don't necessarily need to know your favorite, we're more looking for your thoughts on each of the designs. Which would you simply wear and which would you buy multiples of in case of mud fight or run-by fruiting?
We'll be picking the winner -- who'll receive a console of their choice and five games -- soon, so let us know!

[TGS'11, PS3] Ni no Kuni is venturing outside of Japan in early 2012
[TGS'11, PS3] Ni no Kuni is venturing outside of Japan in early 2012
Ni no Kuni: Queen of the Holy White Ash is looking like it might be worth a look, if you can't remember it is the Level-5 developed RPG coming to PlayStation 3 (as well as a version for Nintendo DS) that is being created in a collaboration with the famous Studio Ghibli.

However, considering how Japan-centric this was all sounding it was looking uncertain as to whether it would venture outside of the home country. The game is being released in Japan on the 17th of November and now Level-5's president, Akihiro Hino, has confirmed that it will be released outside of Japan sometime in early 2012. Exciting news!
If you missed the trailer from a few weeks ago, here it is again.

FIFA Soccer 12 for XBox 360[PC, PS3, X360] Homefront sequel coming in 2014 from Crytek?
[PC, PS3, X360] Homefront sequel coming in 2014 from Crytek?

I know it sounds strange, but after THQ shuttered Kaos Studios everyone began to wonder where Homefront would go now. THQ had previously stated they were eager to continue the IP as a franchise and now we have an answer as to how that will work. It looks like a Homefront sequel is being worked on by Crytek.

THQ had previously stated they were eager to continue the IP as a franchise and now we have an answer as to how that will work. It looks like a Homefront sequel is being worked on by Crytek. "We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ," said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. Despite the first game being nearly universally panned by critics the title still managed to ship roughly 2.6 million copies by the end of March 2011.
Yerli also suggests that Crytek have been given a fair amount of creative freedom over development of the Homefront sequel, however it will take some time. The game is currently scheduled to launch on PC and consoles in THQ's fiscal 2014.
Are you interested to see what Crytek can do with Homefront?

[TGS '11, PS3, Vita] Final Fantasy X HD Announced

Meh, FFX sucked before, and it'll suck now. Nothing changes in my opinion.![[Image: MW7519.png]](http://scamfreepower.com/images/MW7519.png)
RE: [TGS '11, PS3, Vita] Final Fantasy X HD Announced
It's not that I hated it. I enjoyed it at the time. But it sowed the seeds that become Final Fantasy XIII (walk forward for essentially the entire game until you get to the Calm Lands, throw some small optional quests at you before you continue walking forward).
The combat just bored me to tears. To go from the flowing combat that the ATB system provided for so long to the turn-based CTB was just tedious. Granted it made the game piss easy, so you could plan out your strategies perfectly by following the character flow chart on the side of the screen.

I don't see how they managed to take a game about swords, sorcery and high fantasy and turn it into Jpop singers in the ocean. I really, really don't. FF1 will always be one of my favorite games, and probably the only good Final Fantasy game I've ever played (aside from FF9). It had everything- great music, great albeit simplistc combat, etc.
They've continued to sodomize this series. It just needs to die. That, or give me an HD remake of FF1, similar to the PSP version.

On the bright side, the game had such a great 3rd quarter with all the stuff with Auron, Sin, Tidus, Yuna, etc. So I forgive it for that.
But I will also resent it somewhat for what it lead the franchise to.
