Daedalic Entertainment has released three new screenshots for the upcoming adventure title Memoria, showing more of the game and its world. If you’re a fan of the setting, feel free to guess the locations that the screenshots show, but you can simply enjoy the beauty of these hand-drawn backdrops. Memoria will be available in Q3/2013 featuring full English localization.

Memoria tells the tale of the warrior princess Sadja of Fasar, who once ventured to war against the demons of the Gorian Desert. Her goal – to become the greatest hero of all time – was foiled by mysterious circumstances. Whatever happened, the girl disappeared and her tale was all but forgotten.

Five centuries passed until one day a young bird catcher named Geron met a traveling merchant named Fahi in his native forest. This merchant promises to return Geron’s girlfriend Nuri to human form undoing the curse that has made her a raven. But this favor comes at a price: Geron must solve the mystery of Sadja’s fate.

He agrees without hesitation – unaware that this choice will trigger a chain of events that will soon cast a shadow on his homeland and turn the present into a dark mirror of its long forgotten past…

The LEGO game franchise from Traveler’s Tales has seen many a movie or comic license adaptation, usually consisting of linear platforming games that mostly play the same, albeit with a different skin tacked on to it. This game’s big brother for the Wii U however, decided to a different route and make its own original story. Foregoing the linear structure and adopting an open world level design while retaining the charm and basic gameplay we have come to expect from the LEGO games. Not to make the 3DS left out, or do a lazy port, They decided to go for a similar prologue story of Chase McCain’s adventures. Does this game recapture the feeling of the Wii U version? Read On.

Today, Ubisoft announced that its highly anticipated game, Watch_Dogs, will be available in North America on November 19 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the WiiU system from Nintendo and Windows PC, as well as at the launch of the PlayStation 4 from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE). The game is also planned for other next generation consoles.

Fans can check out the latest action in Watch_Dogs by watching the gameplay trailer, released today. In the Watch_Dogs gameplay trailer, Aiden Pearce takes his fight to a never- before-seen district in Chicago and encounters new characters while trying to put his past to rest.

Players who pre-order Watch_Dogs at GameStop stores across North America will receive an exclusive poster designed by famed comic-book artist, Alex Ross. The poster’s design is the inspiration behind the game’s box art and captures the essence of Aiden Pearce, a modern-day vigilante who must rely as much on brains as brawn to take down threats in our increasingly connected world.

Players will assume the role of Aiden Pearce, a new type of vigilante who, with the help of his smartphone, will use his ability to hack into Chicago’s central operating system (ctOS) and control almost every element of the city. Aiden will be able to tap into the city’s omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control systems such as traffic lights or public transportation to stop a chase, and more. The city of Chicago is now the ultimate weapon.

Attica Heights – Ghost Recon Online goes to Singapore
Leading the charge is the brand-new map: Attica Heights – a high security building set against the iconic skyline of Singapore’s business district. Attica Heights is the second map designed for the Holdout game mode and forces players to make quick tactical decisions in a unique split-level environment. The verticality of the map takes the fight on and directly above the vital capture point, splitting the teams’ focus between two floors and giving players alternate routes to the action.

Try Before You Buy – Firing Range and Field Testing
Players will be able to fully test any weapon in the Firing Range. Whether it be firing on the move or behind cover, assessing the weapon damage on virtual targets or getting a better feel of a weapon’s handling and recoil, the Firing Range will enable players to optimize the selection of weapons within their arsenal.

Uprisingincludes four new multiplayer maps, plus “Mob of the Dead,” a bone-chilling new Zombies experience that takes players to the notorious prison island of Alcatraz.

Uprising also debuts four new diverse multiplayer maps, each set around the globe:
• Magma – Set within a modern Japanese village, volcanic eruptions carve multiple paths throughout the town.

• Encore – Taking place in the aftermath of a deserted London music festival, Encore leaves numerous opportunities for run-and-gun, close quarters combat.

• Vertigo – A futuristic high-rise mega-structure located in India featuring dizzying vistas and multi-tiered pathways.

• Studio – A contemporary re-imagining of “Firing Range,” the fan-favorite multiplayer map from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. “Studio” is a Hollywood movie back lot with a variety of cinematic themes that range from Sci-Fi to the Old West.

Activision Publishing, Inc. and Red Fly Studio are shining a light on each of the varied personas that make up this formidable team of half-shell heroes. Today’s trailer goes behind the bandana of the Turtles’ youngest, most agile member: Michelangelo. Always ready with a punch and a punchline, the orange-draped Michelangelo puts a literal spin on the phrase “party animal.” He’s a fun-loving foodie with an appetite for goofing off instead of training. But despite his lighthearted tone and distaste for confrontation, Mikey is no less committed to the cause than his older brothers, whom he looks up to as role models.
