The Xbox One will be getting new Japanese roleplaying games (JRPGs) from developer Experience Inc. The games are “Stranger of Sword City” and “Students of Round 2,” though the latter is still a working title and can easily be replaced in the future. Fans can expect “Strangers of Sword City” in 2016 and “Students of Round 2” in 2017. Pure Xbox has confirmed that the games will be getting a Western release, so fans won’t have to make a petition to get the game. Both games will not be getting physical copies and will only be sold through Xbox Live. According to Experience Inc. executive Hajime Chikami, the move to digital was made since it’s hard to sell Xbox games in Japan and it’s easier to sell a digital game worldwide. “Stranger of Sword City” was actually released on the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation Vita. However, this isn’t just a simple HD remake as the game will be getting brand new character designs, after Chikami took the advice of some publishers the com...

  The upcoming Need for Speed "full reboot" will run at 30fps on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 , developer Ghost Games has announced. In a new FAQ , the studio explained that frame rate is "incredibly important" for any driving game, and the new Need for Speed is no different.

  Blizzard to release third installment in November On Monday, Blizzard finally provided the launch date for the third installment of the StarCraft II “trilogy,” Legacy of the Void . The PC game will hit the streets on November 10, 2015, just in time for the holidays. To celebrate the news, Blizzard has also launched the Legacy of the Void cinematic that will likely leave StarCraft II fans squirming in their seats for more. In addition to the launch date, Blizzard is also reminding customers that they can pre-purchase Legacy of the Void . By purchasing the game now, players will receive a prologue campaign called "Whispers of Oblivion" that consists of three missions, and early access to the multiplayer beta. “You are Hierarch Artanis, leader of the mighty protoss race,” reads the game’s description. “Years ago, your homeworld of Aiur fell to the merciless zerg Swarm.

In 1979, Iran overthrew its monarchy, and replaced them with an Islamic republic in what is now known as the Iran Revolution . One important day in the revolution is known as Black Friday, where martial law was declared. Shots were fired on a crowd of anti-Shah protesters, killing 64 of them and wounding more. It’s not a time of history many people are aware of (I sure wasn’t), and the upcoming game 1979 Revolution aims to tell its story. It’s an adventure game where you play as Reza, a photojournalist in Tehran during the revolution. To remember Black Friday, and in anticipation of the game’s release, developer Ink Stories has released a prologue video showing how the massacre affected the protagonist. In a way, this game is giving me a similar feeling that Assassin’s Creed does. I love games that explore parts of history I know little about, and this seems to be going for a much more realistic representation of the events than what you’d see in AC. There is no release date an...

Her sense of style is rarely ever described as muted. So it came as no surprise that Miley Cyrus stood out from the crowd on Sunday as she grabbed a bite to eat in Studio City, Los Angeles. Donning a very colourful ensemble, the 22-year-old did well to showcase her taut stomach in a flamenco-esque get up.    Hiding her eyes behind yellow oval shaped sunglasses, Miley, who just got over a case of the summer flu, appeared to be in good spirits. Embracing the sunshine, Cyrus wore a pink and yellow backless plunging crop top with a white mini skater skirt and slip on trainers. Accessorising with large disc earrings, the Franklin born singer wore her hair back in one and decorated her ponytail with floral clips.

Finnish telecom group Nokia announced today it has received all US regulatory approvals needed for its proposed acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, taking a step closer towards creating the world's biggest supplier of mobile phone network equipment. Following its previous anti-trust clearance from the US Justice department, the acquisition of the French-American company has now also been cleared by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), Nokia said in a stateme .. In mid-April Nokia struck a 15.6 billion euro (USD 17.6 billion) deal to buy its troubled rival Alcatel-Lucent, which only had one year of profit since the company was created in 2006. The tie-up was approved by the European Commission in July. "Both companies will continue to work closely with the few remaining antitrust authorities in the relevant jurisdictions to conclude their regulatory reviews as quickly as possible," the Nokia statement said.
