Here is SWAG with the latest game in the Aliens vs Predator series, this time developed by Sega. Graphics look better than I’d expect, so if you’re a fan of this movie franchise, I’d definitely recommend checking this one out. According to ABGX, this is region free, so everyone should be able to play this without any issues.

Description: Developed at Rebellion by the team responsible for the original 1999 PC classic, the all-new Aliens vs. Predator allows players to take the role of three infamous species: Colonial Marines, Predators and Aliens. The game features a unique three-way online multiplayer experience, allowing gamers to battle for survival and the right to be crowned the deadliest species in the galaxy. Each race will also have its own distinct action-packed single-player campaign mode, with a storyline that cleverly interweaves with the other two species’ paths.

Set on planet BG-386; a human colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the galaxy, a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs. Deep inside the ruined pyramid meanwhile, nature’s deadliest species awakes from centuries of hibernation intent on finding new prey.

Features:

• The Colonial Marine’s story is an incredible fight against all odds from horrors lurking in the dark. Surrounded on all sides yet armed to the teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity’s last stand with the firepower to fight back.
• As the Alien, players will discover what it’s like to be the scariest, most murderous creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface at lightning speed in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly claws, tail and teeth.
• A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player an arsenal of exotic weaponry with which to stalk from the shadows. Earn the greatest honor by ambushing prey up-close, before butchering them for a gory trophy kill.
• Play all sides off against each other in a series of unique 3-way online modes and go tooth-to-claw-to-pulse rifle in the reinvention of one of multiplayer gaming’s defining moments.

Here’s a rarity for Xbox 360 titles: one whose MSRP is $19.99. This game is apparently based on a racing organization called ‘World of Outlaws’. Looks like it’s basically just glorified go-kart racing. I wouldn’t expect much out of this given the MSRP, graphics don’t look great, however it is produced by THQ so it may be a sleeper. It has the option to play online against other players, so it might be a fun one to try out.

Description: World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars 2009 features twelve popular dirt tracks, including Knoxville Raceway and Eldora Speedway. In addition to this, there are five specially made Arenas created exclusively for the multiplayer matches (2-player split screen and up to eight players online.)

Here is RELOADED with a proper rip of BioShock 2. Apparently there was something wrong with the cracked executable included with the Razor1911 release, and even after the missing file was pre’d people were having issues, so here is a proper, errorless version. I would imagine that if you already have the .iso from the Razor1911 release you could just download the crack from this release, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

Description: Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.

Features:

• Evolution of the genetically enhanced shooter – Earn experience points during gameplay to earn access to new Weapons, Plasmids and Tonics that can be used to create hundreds of different combinations, allowing players to develop a unique character that caters to their playing style
• Extend the Rapture fiction – Players will step into the shoes of Rapture citizens and learn more about the fall of Rapture as they progress through the experience
• See Rapture before the fall – Experience Rapture before it was reclaimed by the ocean and engage in combat over iconic environments in locations such as Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, all of which have been reworked from the ground up to deliver a fast-paced multiplayer experience
• FPS veterans add their touch to the multiplayer experience – Digital Extremes brings more than 10 years of first person shooter experience including development of award-winning entries in the Unreal and Unreal Tournament franchise

So SDC pre’d this game way back in October of last year, but it was apparently nuked for being fake. This is a proper release by HaZMaT of the Guitar Hero: Van Halen for the Wii. It got poor reviews, but I know I enjoyed it anyway as a Guitar Hero game is basically just an expansion pack with new songs from the previous game.

Description: Guitar Hero Van Halen brings to life the flamboyance, virtuosity and unadulterated fun that has made Van Halen one of the most successful and popular rock and roll acts of any era. Along with 19 larger than life musical artists, including Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, The Offspring, Blink-182 and Queen, guitar legend Eddie Van Halen, famous frontman David Lee Roth, dynamic drummer Alex Van Halen and skilled songwriter and bassist, Wolfgang Van Halen, give fans the chance to own the stage and put on show-stopping performances in the coolest, all-new venues from around the world. With over 25 of Van Halen’s greatest hits from “Jump” to “Panama,” the set list crafted for Guitar Hero Van Halen is the perfect combination of high-energy rock that will appeal to a wide range of fans.

Features:

• In the Spotlight with Rock Legends – Guitar Hero Van Halen brings the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees to life, delivering players a unique way to experience the energy, attitude and music from one the most accomplished bands in the world. The game lets Guitar Hero fans join together to shred on the guitar controller, rip on the drum kit controller and wail on the mic as they rock the globe with Van Halen and a host of other artists playing the coolest venues and concerts while rocking out to the ultimate party music.
• I Want it All and I Want it Now – With rockin’ anthems from a host of globally renowned artists spanning various genres of music – including Lenny Kravitz, Weezer, Foreigner, Queen and Blink-182 – coupled with 25 of Van Halen’s greatest hits from “Jump” to “Panama” and three of Eddie Van Halen’s most epic guitar solos – the set list crafted for Guitar Hero Van Halen is the perfect combination of fret rippin’ riffs, party pumpin’ jams and block rockin’ beats.
• We Built This City on Rock and Roll – With tracks ranging from the immensely fun Foo Fighters’ “Best of You” to music showcasing the technical expertise of Van Halen’s “Eruption,” the easy to play, yet difficult to master gameplay that living room legends have grown to love makes a triumphant encore in Guitar Hero Van Halen.
• Enroll in Rock 101 – Even the most advanced rock and roll aficionados will learn a thing or two at the school of hard rock in Guitar Hero Van Halen. While gamers won’t have homework, they will be introduced to information from each song throughout the set list in Rock Facts which become available after completing a song in Career mode.
• You Really Got Me – Guitar Hero Van Halen brings the band back on stage allowing gamers to share in the social and expressive Guitar Hero experience. Virtual rock stars can jam together regardless of physical location in the online Quickplay mode, compete head-to-head in Face-Off, Pro Face-Off, Battle and eight-player “Battle of the Bands” game modes plus create, record, edit and share their own unique compositions in the Music Studio.

After DNL pre’d this a couple days ago for PAL consoles, here is Spanish group PARADISO with a region free release. Apparently this game is in English/Spanish/French rather than the DNL release which was English/Italian/German. Nothing really to say about the release, as highly anticipated as it is. I’m sure most of you guys already have this as it came out a few hours ago, but I was at work when it released so I figured better late than never.

Description: Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock.

Here is Razor1911 with the highly anticipated follow up to 2007 hit S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl. This is a first person shooter developed by Ukranian developer USC Game World. This game got excellent reviews on both IGN and GameSpot (8.2 and 8.0 respectively), and graphics look top notch. If your system can handle this game, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

[PRE] STALKER_Call_Of_Pripyat_Crackfix-Razor1911-Apparently there were some issues with the crack packed with the original release, but this should fix any problems resulting from that.

Description: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third third chapter game in the highly-acclaimed survival FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. The events of Call of Pripyat unfold shortly after the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Having discovered about the open path to the Zone center, the government decides to hold a large-scale military “Fairway” operation aimed to take the CNPP under control.

According to the operation’s plan, the first military group is to conduct an air scouting of the territory to map out the detailed layouts of anomalous fields location. Thereafter, making use of the maps, the main military forces are to be dispatched. Despite thorough preparations, the operation fails. Most of the avant-garde helicopters crash. In order to collect information on reasons behind the operation failure, Ukraine’s Security Service send their agent into the Zone center. From now on everything depends on you…

Features:

So here is a game that looks like it’s World of Warcraft meets American Football. I have absolutely no idea how the developers of this game came up with the idea, however it got decent reviews (6.4 on IGN). This game pre’d for PAL consoles right around Thanksgiving, but here is RRoD with the NTSC release just in time for the Super Bowl. According to ABGX, this release is region free, however I’ve included the PAL release info just in case you missed it the first time.

Description: A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl invites gamers to form a team of players from races including: Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and many other fantasy creatures, and launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas. This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bone crunching action.

Here is VATOS with the Platinum Hits edition of the popular racing game Midnight Club: Los Angeles. Apparently this includes all 5 DLC packs (South Central Map Expansion, South Central Vehicle Pack #1 and #2, the Police Car pack, and the South Central Premium Upgrade). Every website I’ve seen showed this game released in November of last year, so I’m not sure why it’s just now hitting the scene. Game origin is PAL, no idea if it’s region free or not though.

Description: The entire city of Los Angeles is your playground as you speed through the streets, parking lots, and back alleys in Midnight Club: Los Angeles, all on your way to becoming the most notable racer in the city. As a new arrival on the racing scene, you’re going to need to earn REP for others to take you seriously, and earn the right to upgrade your ride or purchase an even better one. Reputation Points can be earned by completing any task or race in MCLA, regardless of what position you finish.

Midnight Club Los Angeles features over 40 vehicles from 4 different classes. Tuner, Luxury, Exotic and Muscle cars as well as Bikes will all be available to race throughout the game. All cars can be fully customized in one of two garages found in the game. Special Moves return from Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition — classics like Zone, Agro and Roar are joined by a newcomer, EMP. A wide variety of races can be begun just by flashing your headlamps at other racers, and there are also “Freeway Racer” challenges and Police Chases to test your skills on. Illegal street racing with no track, no load times, no rules: Welcome back to the Midnight Club.

Features:

• Personalize officially licensed imports, tuners, classic muscle cars and motorcycles both inside and out with a dizzying array of licensed rims, spoilers, interior gauges, tires and more
• No load times, no tracks, and no rules
• Over a dozen racing events, including Circuit Races, Unordered Races, Freeway Races, Time Trials, Tournaments, Red Light Racer, Series Races, Wager Races, Pinkslip Races, Delivery, Payback, Telephone Challenge
• The Police are back and far more varied and dynamic than before. From the moment they’re introduced to you in the game, police will be out patrolling the city … and looking to bust up any street races that come across their radio.
• Four special moves to make use of. Each auto can be customized to use any move. Zone allows you to slow down time in order to take sharp turns or weave in-and-out of traffic like a champ! Agro will give your car added strength and the ability to damage opponents faster, or sometimes knock them completely out of the race. Roar sends a shockwave that clears your path by pushing cars off to the side of the road. EMP is an electromagnetic pulse that shuts down the engines of the cars around you, bringing them to a complete stop.

Sorry for the late post, my sleep schedule is messed up, been staying up all night, sleeping all day. Anyway, I’m not proud of the way the site is going (addition of ads, lack of contact by the owners, etc.), but I still like posting articles (albeit late for this one). Here is the much anticipated follow up to 2007 smash hit BioShock. This is a PAL release, sorry NTSC console owners, maybe you’ll get your shot sometime this weekend (I’m hoping we do).

Description: Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.

This game pre’d for NTSC consoles about a month and a half ago, but here is WiiZARD with the latest in the Final Fantasy line for Wii. This got mediocre reviews (6.2 on IGN and 5.5 on GameSpot), however I know there is a HUGE following for this game so you guys may want to check it out anyway. There was a rarfix file that pre’d also, according to its NFO it may or may not be needed, but chances are you’ll be able to find it wherever you find this game. Also, I’ve included the NTSC release info again in case it was missed the first time.

Description: A thousand years have passed since the events of the original Final Fantasy: Crytal Chronicles. The destruction of the Yuke Crystal during the Great War had at once brought the victorious Lilty Tribe prosperity, the defeated Yuke Tribe apparent annihilation, and the world a new age of science and reason. In this new era exists a rare breed of powerful beings called “crystal bearers,” whose seemingly magical abilities have led them to be feared and scorned by the public. The young mercenary Layle is one such crystal bearer, who has been hired to escort the new passenger airship Alexis, the pinnacle of Lilty technology and a symbol of their current dominance. However, when the Alexis is suddenly besieged by a horde of monsters, Layle comes face-to-face with an adversary thought to have vanished from the pages of history, on a quest that may threaten the future of the world…

Features:

• Enjoy a new chapter of the series that takes place a thousand years after the events of the original Final Fantasy: Crytal Chronicles, where technology has advanced to its peak and magic is considered taboo
• Encounter the first Final Fantasy game developed exclusively for Wii, complete with motion-driven gameplay and intuitive controls that are accessible for gamers of all levels. Enjoy a variety of actions and third-person shooter style gameplay
• Step into the hero’s shoes and experience the action first-hand! Control Layle’s crystal bearer powers to battle adversaries, navigate through obstacles and move objects at will in a highly interactive environment
• Traverse the terrain, swing from high places or take a swim in a world in which all areas are open for exploration
• With an extra Wii Remote, friends and family can jump in to assist the player in times of need

So here’s a game that I’ve been waiting for for quite a while, and more than a week early to boot. This is based on the first book from the epic poem ‘The Divine Comedy’. Graphics look amazing and I’m sure the story will be equally awesome. According to ABGX this release is region free so everyone is able to enjoy.

Description: In Dante’s Inferno, players assume the role of Dante as he travels on an epic descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of Hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld. His mission is to save Beatrice, but he soon realizes he is also in Hell to face his own demons and ultimately to redeem himself.

To take down the demons of Hell, Dante is outfitted with two primary weapons: the Scythe he takes from Death and the Holy Cross given to him by Beatrice, which has spiritual powers that will help Dante collect souls and spells from the creatures he defeats on his journey. The game also features a deep upgrade system so gamers can customize their abilities to their specific gameplay style. Each circle showcases its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poem’s vivid descriptions.

Features:

• An Epic Adaptation of a Classic — Based on part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic poem “The Divine Comedy,” Dante’s Inferno is a 3rd person action adventure game that takes Dante on an epic journey through Hell as he seeks to rescue the soul of his beloved Beatrice.
• The Nine Circles of Hell — Just like the poem, players will descend through Dante’s unique nine circles of Hell: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Each circle features distinct environments, enemies and story elements befitting the sins committed by their inhabitants.
• Control the Beasts of Hell — Dante’s Inferno features large scale beasts and bosses, some of which Dante will be able to fully tame, utilizing them to throw back Hell’s wrath to its minions.
• Fast, Addictive, Responsive Combat — Dante fights through the nine circles armed with Death’s Scythe and Beatrice’s Holy Cross, with magic powers and a deep, customizable upgrade system helping the player take full advantage of a fast and fluid gameplay experience that will never run at lower than 60 frames per second.
• Visceral Games Stamp of Approval — From the award-winning studio that created the critically-acclaimed Dead Space.
• Be Righteous or Unholy — choose to punish or absolve the damned, affecting your character’s abilities throughout the game.

Here’s another Wii release, this time from OneUp. This is the latest in the Karaoke Revolution series by Konami. This game came out in November of last year, no idea why it took so long to hit the scene. Given the reviews, I don’t think anyone minds. At any rate, this might be a fun one to try if you’re into singing or the vocals part of the Rock Band/Guitar Hero games, or if you enjoy having karaoke parties (do people do that?).

Description: Grab the mic and sing your heart out with the brand new Karaoke Revolution! Get the party started with friends or compete to win your chance at stardom. Tailor your gameplay experience with all-new enhanced and customizable characters, a custom venue creator and more.

So here is a game that, despite the low MSRP ($29.99), looks like it actually may be a decent FPS for the Wii. Graphics look decent, and I imagine that the game play (both on and offline) will be pretty fun. According to IGN, this game came out in stores last week, so I’m not sure why we’re just now getting a copy of this from the scene, but hey, better late than never, right?

Description: Get ready for intense, realistic military shooting action on the Wii platform.

I’m aware that burnt/backed up PS3 games cannot (currently) be played, however I figured this game’s release was worth a post anyway given the current status of the exploit found by GeoHot. I’ve been looking forward to this game since I heard about it a few months ago, however I don’t own a PS3. This game features 256 man teams in online multiplayer combat, and in order to win the team has to function as a whole unit, rather than one or two players doing extremely well (a la Halo 3, COD, etc.).

Description: The year is 2025. The optimism and harmony of the 2010s were completely eradicated by 2020. A global crisis loomed. Food shortages sparked riots, currencies plummeted, fuel reserves dwindled, and oil-producing nations began to ration what remained. It is a dark future. Governments earmarked money for humanitarian efforts, overseas security, and intelligence services which, over time, found its way the coffers of a small group of Private Military Companies. These three private armies (Valor, Raven, and S.V.E.R.) then began to recruit aggressively. Soldiers without a country, the contractors fight wars that never happened. This is the nature of the Shadow War.

From the award-winning developer, Zipper Interactive, comes the next evolution in gaming — MAG. A first-person, online-only shooter, MAG lets you experience battles with up to 256 real people across a global battlefield. Players join one of three PMCs fighting each other in a shadow war and can either become skilled operatives or rank up to eventually command their private army to victory. Featuring unprecedented online action of a scale never before devised with player controlled strategic assets such as calling in air strikes, mortar barrages and parachute insertions; the persistent Shadow War in MAG keeps players coming back for more.

Features:

Here’s the latest “vs. Capcom” fighting game, this time coupled with characters from Japanimation production company Tatsunoko. The graphics look amazing and I’m sure it will be a blast to play with friends and online given the way the Wiimote works. I missed the NTSC post the other day but I’ve added that release info here as well. Enjoy!

Description: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars pairs well-known characters from Capcom’s roster of games with some of Japan’s most beloved characters from anime powerhouse Tatsunoko Production. From Capcom’s 30-year history comes characters the Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Mega Man Legends and other franchises.
