Get Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition Free


Remember that Zelda: 25th Anniversary that's going on? Well instead of giving a gift to Nintendo, they have decided to give back to the fans with a free game!

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition isn't just a straight port of the original games, but an enhanced version of it.

There is a single player campaign that has you switching between two Links, you can now do two player instead of four, and Nintendo even added two new areas as well!

The game is free from now till February 2012 on both the 3DS eShop and the DSiWare store as well. That means DSi, DSi XL, and 3DS owners can play together.

Check out the cool launch trailer after the jump.

Darks Souls: All Saints Trailer



Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, is scheduled to hit next week on October 4th.

From Software has decided to toss out one more hype trailer showcasing the game and some of the bosses ready to beat you into submission over and over again.

Demon's Souls was notoriously difficult and a definite throwback to old school games that punished you for running blindly into situations. 

Think you're up to the challenge? Check out the trailer after the jump.

Forza Motorsport 4: Season Pass and Demo Details



My car experience only constitutes changing my oil, tires, and Top Gear. Yet every time I see some racing game or simulator I feel like I could be an F1 racer or an automotive engineer.

Forza Motorsports 4 sees to help me with my delusions of automotive grandeur on October 11th, but the guys at Turn 10 have decided to be kind though and let us have a taste of what to expect in the game in the form of a demo releasing on October 3, little over a week from the games full release. 

Also announced was the Forza 4 Season Pass which is similar to what Microsoft did with the Gears of War 3 season pass which allowed you to save some money on future DLC.

All the details on what you get with the Season Pass after the jump.

Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI Hit PSN Tuesday (Update: NOT)

UPDATE: Apparently Sony screwed up in announcing the PSOne Classics. They used an old document that listed both games and apparently they don't have an actual release date for either game.

Well it looks like the gaming gods read my previous post on 7 Games I Should Have Played But Haven't and responded accordingly.

After YLOD'ing my PS3 as punishment, they are allowing me to seek redemption by releasing two of the games on my list on the PSN this Tuesday: Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, easily two of the greatest RPG's of all time.


If you look at Square-Enix's previous PSN releases, $9.99 is looking like the price point for each game.

Luckily, my PSP is still operational so I can download and play these PSOne Classics on it instead.

Street Fighter X Tekken TGS 2011 Trailer


Ken Masters!!!

This week brings us the Tokyo Game Show and a whole ton of new info on a whole bunch of games, some of which of course will no doubt never see the light of release in the West.

Let's start off then with a game that we know we will get: Street Fighter X Tekken.

My only problem with this game is that I know I should just wait till Super Street Fighter X Tekken: Ultimate Arcade Edition inevitably releases with character tweaks, all costumes, and extra characters included.

Though the acronym, SSFXT:UAE, would be a pain in the ass to type.

Salvador's Top 7: Rage Quit Moments


Welcome to another edition of Salvador's Top 7! This week, we are looking at some of my top rage quit moments.

For those who don't quite know what rage quitting is, here's a handy definition via Urban Dictionary:
Rage Quit: To stop, cease, or discontinue a game due to aggravation from being constantly bested (pwned) in any type of challenge within the game.

Most people attribute it to competitive games like Street Fighter or Halo but as the definition states, it can be applied to any gaming situation.

So relax and hit the jump to see what controller chucking indecencies I've experienced.

Fellow Templars! The day is almost nigh where we will finally be able to beat the Assassin's and bring peace to this world.

But, in order to beat the Assassin's we must train you to become the ultimate Templar weapon! And wouldn't you know that we have

So starting September 3rd and running through September 11th, select candidates will have the opportunity to begin their training in the Animus Project before any other Templars are given the chance. This will help us iron out any wrinkles with the training program.

Think of it as a sort of "beta test" if you will.

If you'd like to find out which of you are the "select candidates" and some other details about this training session, make sure you hit the jump for more information.

Dead Island Release Trailer

Note: Game releases September 6th. It isn't out now like the trailer states.

As with every big release game, Deep Silver has decided to give us one last trailer to try entice you into buying their new game, Dead Island. If the four player co-op, melee focused, zombie survival game with a dash of RPG elements does nothing to entice you then maybe nothing will.

One cool thing about this trailer is that it uses some of the music from that amazing reveal trailer.

If you happened to miss that trailer, then you can check it out after the jump.
