Lovin’ Games Daily

Here is a roundup of some game news: 


This week it is a good week for gamers. The Tokyo Game Show is just around the corner now so I am excited to get the latest news from there. EA will be having a live stream from their showcase there which you can watch here.

With that in mind EA and Grasshopper Manufacture announced at a press conference related to TGS their new project: Shadows of the Damned. In this game you play the demon hunter Garcia where his loved has been kidnapped by the Hordes of Hell. We are promised a difficult and dark game with riddles and terrifying monstrosities. The game will be released to X360 and PS3.

For you who liked Oblivion you may have heard of Nehrim: At Fate’s Edge. This is an epic modification to the Oblivion game which has been in production for four years. It was released in German this summer and now they have re-released it with English subtitles and text.  You can download it here at moddb.

Siliconera tells us that Sony Japan have filed an application at the Japanese patent office for a device that makes PS3 backward compatible. In my opinion they should just had kept the PS3 backward compatible like the first 60GB version was.

THQ has updated the release date of Red Faction: Armagedon. The old one was set for March 2011 but the new one is set for May 2011. THQ is having quite a few releases next year with titles like:

MX vs. ATV Alive (Spring 2011)
Warhammer 40000: Space Marines (Summer 2011)
Saints Row 3 (Fall 2011)
WWE (Fall 2011)

Today Playstation 3 owners in Europe can get the new controller Playstation Move. The UK will get it tomorrow but the Americans have to wait until Sunday.  The Japanese however have their release date October 21.

With that said the game Heavy Rain: Move edition is to stores October 6. This will be available for current Heavy Rain owners by a free patch update September 22. The new version is Move compatible and has extra content.

The release date for Nintendo’s new handheld, the 3DS, may have been leaked. The website Andrisang found an interesting Twitter message posted by a person that apparently was a former employee at the company Keys Factory which produces extra equipment for the DS. In the message it was stated that produced equipment for the 3DS is being released November 20 and that consumers will be able to buy it at the release of the 3DS. A formal announcement from Nintendo will be released September 29 with both the release date and prices.

Fingergaming released a report over the usage of handhelds in major consumer countries. Apparently Apple products are making big progress in the handheld gaming community. Maybe Nintendo has found its match. Apple users are also getting more and more games for their Macs. The latest addition is the older GTA games: GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. These games will be released for the Mac later this year. (1UP)

Blizzard announced that they will start the cleanup of Starcraft II cheaters in the near future and that the banned users will not be able to login to Starcraft with their battle.net account. My question is if the battle.net account itself will be suspended or just the one game.

1UP tells us that Ninja Theory is working on the new Devil May Cry game. They released this information under Capcom's TGS press conference earlier today. A trailer will come at 1UP's site later today.
