2K today unveiled the fifth and final era in WWE 2K14’s 30 Years of WrestleMania Mode. The “Universe Era” includes more than a dozen matches from the most recent era of WWE history, all the way up to this year’s WrestleMania. Please see below for the complete list of matches and screenshots from the “Universe Era,” as well as previously-released screenshots from each of the matches highlighted in WWE 2K14’s 30 Years of WrestleMania Mode.

Sinister, sly, deadly – that’s how best to describe the cast of Blackguards. It’s time to take a peek at the characters of the upcoming turn-based RPG.

Takate, a former slave and gladiator, makes a formidable, yet dangerous companion. Born and raised among the tribes of South Aventuria’s vast jungles he learned all the skills one needs to survive in the unforgiving wilderness.

He was a promising young warrior, but during his rite of passage slavers abducted Takate and brought him to the arena of El’Halem.

The cruel world of sand and blood taught him to fight and to kill. During the first years, he served as whipping boy and sparring partner for the veteran gladiators. However, he fairly quickly joined their ranks, becoming as successful, efficient and lethal as they were; if not more. The other gladiators, who belittled him at first, now fear Takate. Whoever doubts the deadly grace of this fighter won’t live long enough to tell the tale…

Takate spent half of his life on the bottom of the barrel, fighting in an arena to entertain ‘civilized’ people. Being the champion, though, has its benefits. Takate is rewarded with things other pit fighters can only dream of. A champion, for example, never has to share his women…

Even among the Blackguards, Takate makes an outstanding fighter and killer. Cold blooded as he may seem, however, he does have problems keeping his hatred for the pompous upper-class and especially slave traders in check.

Dead or Alive as a series had a considerable following and despite the lack of series creator Itagaki’s influence it’s actually significantly improved as a series. More of a port of Dead or Alive 5 Plus, this enhanced edition for home consoles decided to add even more features to draw players back in. Throw in all the DLC costumes and extra characters and modes and you got a practically a new game when all is said and done.

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is still pretty much the same game from last year, but there are a staggering number of changes to justify this new edition as a standalone product. The game has many gameplay and system tweaks, rebalanced characters, nearly all of the DLC costumes, un-lockables, new character’s, and new game modes. Story mode remains unchanged, but it’s worth noting for those unfamiliar with the original release that it is structured like Dead or Alive Dimensions. The story is broken up into chapters where you play as each character that is relevant to the game’s main scenario, playing battles with other character’s as the plot moves along. It’s nice to see that Team Ninja at least attempted to make a coherent storyline that satisfactorily ties all the characters together without making what-if scenarios and joke endings. It also has a couple of funny scenes to lighten the mood every now and then.
