The first downloadable content pack for Digital Reality's amazing aerial combat game, SkyDrift, is now available. Downloading this additional Extreme Fighters Pack gives players access to new state of the art planes, with different graphical skins available for customization.
Now that summer has exerted her last breath, a chill has hit the air. Although this noticeable change is an obvious precursor to a lengthy and cold winter, it also brings with it some great news. Hockey season is about to begin, which should keep us warm, excited and interested throughout the dreary snow-filled months. There's a lot to look forward to, including the return of a past superstar in Jaromir Jagr, the emergence of high draft picks like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and hopefully a better performance from my Toronto Maple Leafs. With the release of NHL 12, armchair sports fans can make these events magical, as they interact digitally with their favourite league.
To celebrate the launch of F1 2011, Codemasters has released a visceral launch trailer full of realistic racing action. Formula One fans need certainly apply.
Warner Bros. has announced that Batman: Arkham City has been delayed. Though, only the PC version of the much-anticipated game is affected. Its scheduled October 18th release date has been bumped up to sometime in November.
Wanderers of the Las Vegas desert wasteland should note that the Lonesome Road has now opened up. What does this mean? It means that those of you who are making your way through Fallout: New Vegas can now download its fourth expansion.
What's more effective than one pink blob named Kirby? Ten of him. Imagining the vacuum power which a group that size would have is tough. Needless to say, it'd be a lot like a tropical force wind. Luckily, we don't have to worry about that in real life, though the pink blob's foes in Kirby Mass Attack do need to run for cover. It's the latest release in the popular Nintendo series, available now for the Nintendo DS.
One of the best games of all-time is making its triumphant downloadable return today. That would be Resident Evil 4 HD, which is now available for the first time on a Microsoft console. It can be purchased through both XBOX Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network for twenty dollars.
Aiming to win the Webb Ellis Cup, the international rugby community has descended upon New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup 2011 tournament. The focus is on the hometown team, though fans and competitors from all around the world have made their way over there to participate in the festivities. This includes Canada and the United States - two countries who are not powerhouses in that particular sport, though the North American programs have continued to improve. For fans of my home nation and our neighbours to the south, it's just nice to be able to watch them participate against challenging opposition on the world's biggest stage.
Taking a stroll down your local video store's well-trampled aisles, you'll surely come across at least a hundred cheesy action movies. Even though they lack polish, budgets and stars, many people flock to those types of films for a mindless watch. Getting together with a bunch of friends is sometimes more fun with a terrible or poorly made movie on to laugh at, amidst cocktails and jokes. Of course, this also applies to video games at times, as they occasionally attempt to mimic this phenomenon with terribly written dialogue and over-acted performances. The latest interactive product to go this route is Renegade Ops from Avalanche Studios. It's an action-packed game, which is terribly cheesy with some decent quality under its hood, unlike a lot of those aforementioned action movies.
