Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix Pre-Orders To Come With Art Book

May 8, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

In the absence of a proper, numbered sequel in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, gamers have been left with re-makes and portable side stories. And still, an HD compilation of the series progenitor, its first spin-off, the Re:Chain of Memories, and the Nintendo DS' 358/2 Days is an appealing package.

Square Enix has decided to sweeten Pooh's honey pot just a bit more. In addition to the reasonable entry price of $ 39.99 and the inclusion of trophy support, the publisher is adding a collectible art book to the package. It will feature a hardcover and samples from three entries in the franchise: Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, and 358/2 Days.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix arrives on September 10 for the PlayStation 3.

The full press release is available on page two.

Diablo 3 PS3 pre-orders come with experience-boosting bonus

April 29, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Blizzard has opened pre-orders for the PlayStation 3 version of its PC hit Diablo 3, offering an exclusive in-game item as an incentive for early adopters.

Submit a Diablo 3 pre-order at Amazon, GameStop, or Wal-Mart and you’ll receive the Infernal Helm, a helpful piece of equipment that boosts the amount of experience your characters earn in battle. It’s equippable by all classes and has no level requirement, making it especially valuable at the game’s outset.

“We’ve poured blood, sweat, and hellfire into creating an epic Diablo 3 experience for PlayStation gamers,” said Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime. “In addition to including all the improvements from the PC version over the past year, we’ve made several updates to Diablo 3 for play on the PS3. We got a ton of positive feedback from players who tried the game at PAX East, and we can’t wait to get it into everyone’s hands later this year.”

Diablo 3 has been overhauled for its console debut, and boasts a redesigned control scheme, tweaked boss fights, and local and online multiplayer modes for up to four players. A specific release date for the PlayStation 3 version of Diablo 3 has not been announced.

Fez Coming To PC This May, More Platforms To Come

March 18, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

The acclaimed indie game Fez was originally an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive. That window is closing, and players on other platforms will soon be able to see what all the fuss was about.

According to creator Phil Fish, the game is coming out on Steam on May 1, with Linux and Mac versions to follow at an unspecified time. Fish says he's in talks with Sony to bring the game over to Vita, too, and it could get an Ouya port. Finally, an iOS version is also possible.

In short, if you haven't played Fez yet for some inexplicable reason, you're going to be running out of excuses real quick.
