I love me someDead Space, even the first games did take a few years off my life, from both stress and anger. I’m good and ready for a third game, but we have yet to hear a formal announcement. Youknowthey’re making one, though. And if this leaked information is true,Dead Space 3will take place on a frozen planet called Tau Volantis. The following details come directly fromSiliconera.

I decided, before I had seen the images, that I’d be the one to run the story. “You know, it’s only box art,” I thought to myself, “so I’m there’s not much to say. But I’m sure it will be interesting enough for people to want to check it out. Maybe it’ll have some cool art....

He had nothing else to say on the matter, and was blunt enough to suggest it’s not something we’ll see brought up by Sony anytime soon....

Like seven inches from a midday sun Revealed a few weeks ago as the last of the initial batch of new character additions toInjustice 2,Starfire,the former Teen Titan,followsSub-ZeroandRed Hoodin having an impressive reveal trailer. Along with her burning hair and green energy beams, Starfire just has quite a few interesting set-ups. Short bolt projectiles, a slower bomb-type (which is probably going to be one of the unlockable moves), moves that knock away opponents, and it seems like she’s going to be more powerful up close with a few command grab options....

Miyamoto created this The multiplayer tintedPac-Man Vs.is one of the most interesting games in the franchise’s long history. It was actually developed by Nintendo EAD and headed up by Miyamoto himself, which is why you rarely see it hit other platforms (it’s on DS and GameCube).
