More has been released about the upcoming X-Blades game, this time around we have some screenshots and info on some spells and beasts that will be in the game.  The Gaijin Entertainment developed X-Blades will be available to buy February 10 2009 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Flash Of Light: Wow! The Light Magic truly is awe inspiring. I mean it’s not at all what I thought it was going to be. I was expecting some sparks and maybe some fireworks, but this is amazing. I’m able to form powerful beams of light, bundle them together, and shoot them toward enemies. It is so powerful it consumes everything in the vicinity and works really well against servants of the dark. I truly am amazed at what this can do against groups of enemies. (Requirement: Ray of Light)

Lightning Blades: Nothing says, “leave me alone”, than lightning running up and down your blades. I learned this move from a mysterious man I met one day on the road. The rumor is that it was Thor the old God of Thunder himself. I personally don’t believe it but whatever the case I’m now a stronger fighter because of it. Now I can dance through hordes of enemies striking sparks with every blow. If that man truly was the God of Thunder I bet I’ve made him proud.

Pangolin Sorcerers: The most skilled servants of The Dark, Pangolin Sorcerers can use several different kinds of magic. They’re vulnerable, however, to all kinds of Elemental magic, including teleportation. Those which have the ability to ward off magic attacks are only susceptible to Cold magic.

The Curse: This semi-sentient embodiment of Dark magic is not able to summon any attack spells, but it can invoke various deadly creatures. Weapons and spells do very little damage to the Curse, but after one destroys all the creatures of the Curse has invoked, it recedes for a short time.

Eidos Interactive have released new screenshots for the upcoming title Batman: Arkham Asylum.  The game being developed by Rocksteady Studios is based around the DC Comics’ Batman as opposed to most other Batman video games where they have been adaptations of the character from other media such as the several movies that have seen the light of day.

I personally have never played any of the recent Batman games, with the last one being Batman on the original Gameboy in the early 90’s.  With that said, I will be keeping an eye on this game as although they have nothing to do with it, the recent Batman movies have awoken the fan in me.  So be sure to visit us as I will try and get some more info on this as and when it becomes available.

The game will be available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC and is due for released May 1 2009.

X-Blades - More Spells and Beasts …

More Action from X-Blades, the fast-paced action adventure game, featuring a blend of cinematic style and beautiful anime-inspired characters, combat and environments

Light Blades: The power of Light is just as strong as other powers. Perhaps more so? I can actually use the Power of Light to envelope both my blades and guns and use it to inflict awesome damage! I can’t get over how beautiful it looks…or how deadly it is. (Requirements: Lightform)

Ray Of Light: Hmm…this is Ray of Light is actually very impressive. This spell consists of a ray of glittering light that is hurled against an opponent. It explodes upon impact, dealing out damage points galore. I’ve seen it do incredible amounts of damage to creatures of the dark. It will be interesting to what else it can do. (Requirements: Light Blades)

The Queen Spider: The Queen Spider is able to control her offspring. Covered in armor and gifted in the use of magic, she guards the upper floors of the castle. Apart from the spiders, which block the way to the Queen, small creatures that are invulnerable to magic attacks, to which the Queen is particularly vulnerable, surround her.

The Ancient Six-Winged: The oldest living Six-winged has been hiding in cliffs, where his only friends were the little Pangos, which used to share their food with him. They protect him desperately during attacks, so you can only hurt the Ancient Six-winged after freezing the Pangos. He prefers to attack his opponents from a distance due to his extreme sensitivity to heat. He is, of course, vulnerable to light and Fire magic.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has unveiled a new team-based game mode for its Metal Gear Online title. The new mode is available to all users of Metal Gear Online and adds a clever new way to enjoy the game.

In Bomb Mission, teams are charged with destroying or protecting an area on the game map. Players are charged with either planting timed explosives in the city and protecting the bomb until it goes off; or nullifying the explosive with a coolant solution, thus making for a tense battle between the two teams. All this is played against a tight time limit, and shows the versatility of the Metal Gear Online game engine.

This new Bomb Mission Mode will be available on Tuesday, January 27th.

MGO Bomb Mode Rules

A battle to destroy or protect target areas on the map. The attacking team will claim victory if they can plant time bombs in the target areas and protect them until any one of them detonates. The defending team can use Coolant to nullify a bomb, or defeat the player with a bomb and then eliminate it by leaving it on the ground for a set period of time. When the bomb is eliminated, it will reappear at its original location. To win the defending team must either hold the base until time runs out, or eliminate all of the bombs.
