Persona 4 Arena Getting A Sequel / Update

It looks like Persona 4 Arena is getting either a sequel or an update. Sporting a new UI, a new HUD and (at least for now) 2 new characters.

The new characters the have been revealed are Junpei and Yukari from Persona 3. Arc System Works began a location test for the game at two locations in Japan from August 16 to 18. Every character is also said to have Shadow of versions now and that Shadow characters will not have burst.

I'm getting a little too excited about this seeing as P4A is one of my favorite fighting games of this generation of consoles. Hearing about this is quite surprising, especially with the new BlazBlue coming out soon and the next Guilty Gear being in the works. Definitely will be trying out my girl Yukari-chan if and hopefully when I get my hands on this

Grand Theft Auto V's online mode looks sweet, but won't be available on launch day

Rockstar has released a new trailer for the online mode in Grand Theft Auto V called Grand Theft Auto Online. A hub which seems to be similar to Red Dead Redemption - 16 players roaming around the city of Los Santos GTA style, and pretty much whatever the hell they want. Excited? Cool, but the online component won't be available on release day.

Grand Theft Auto online will be available on October 1 as a free download to all players with a copy of GTA V. No real reason why it won't be available on launch day but hey, Michael, Franklin, and Trevor escapades will be enough to keep us busing until release.

 Grand Theft Auto Online trailer Before the release of the trailer, I was curious to why they bothered calling it Grand Theft Auto Online, instead of saying GTA V multiplayer. Now it makes sense, since Rockstar plans to constantly update the game just like any other online game.

Grand Theft Auto V will be available on September 17 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360.

If you haven't yet, don't forget to register in our first ever giveaway. One lucky viewer will get a copy of GTA V and it's on us. Check out the details here.

Grand Theft Auto Online reveal coming on August 15

Rockstar has just announced that a gameplay video and previews of Grand Theft Auto Online will be revealed on August 15. Don't get fooled by the title. It's not a separate game, it's just Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer component, so stay tuned!

For us gamers in the Philippines, it should be released sometime in August 16, but we'll catch it as soon as it comes available.

My god, it will soon be less than a month away from release? Grand Theft Auto will be out on September 17 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Latest Splinter Cell Blacklist trailer tells us everything we need to know about the game

The latest trailer for Splinter Cell Blacklist gives us the 101 on what to expect from Sam Fisher's latest mission. It's 7-minutes long, and if you know nothing about Blacklist, this will get you up to speed and ready for when it comes out this August. Check it out below.

As expected from Ubisoft, Blacklist will be providing a complete package. The "Spies vs Mercs" mode makes a return but is still questionable. Sneaking around with a friend in co-op though is definitely the mode I'm looking forward to. Conviction had a great coop, but wasn't enough to make it a good game overall, making me wary of getting this on day one. Blacklist comes out on August 22 and I have this strong feeling this game won't get the best reception.

Splinter Cell Blacklist will be available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC.

NetherRealm expands the Injustice roster with Zatanna

NetherRealm Studios just announced yet another character joining the Injustice: Gods Among Us roster - Zatanna. Gameplay trailer shows Zatanna showing what she's capable of against Grundy...poor Grundy.

Excited to take the magic wielder to the labs? Well, you don't have to wait too long. Zatanna will cost $4.99 and will be available for download starting next week, August 13, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

NetherRealm is one busy studio, releasing DLC charcters left and right. Just last month, they revealed Martian Manhunter during EVO 2013. Hopefully we see more support like this to last the whole year because Injustice is a surprisingly a solid fighting game that would keep both fighting gamers and DC fans happy.
