Nintendo has released a gameplay trailer to accompany today's announcement of Animal Crossing: New Leaf's release date for North America. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is one of the more highly anticipated titles for the 3DS. Having already been available in Japan for several months, gamers here in the states are eager to get their hands on it.

Although we still have a few months to wait, Nintendo's Bill Trinen hinted at some kind of new feature being added to the North American release -- likely something related to online play. This trailer doesn't actually reveal the new features, but does give us a nice look at the gameplay we can expect when Animal Crossing: New Leaf launches in North America.

Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 'Revolution' DLC sets out to recapture the series' DLC formula

To contact us Click HERE

Divergent from the standard Call of Duty map formula -- circular or boxed maps with alleyways to funnel players toward a deadly, exposed middle battlefield -- Revolution’s four maps quickly exert themselves as something innovative for the series. For instance, Grind, set in a sun-blotched skate park, yields deadly corners and multiple entry points. The maps also offer vertical gameplay that’s accessible and valuable to all, regardless of your load-out. It doesn’t hurt that several of the maps offer some fresh eye-candy to longtime fans. Mirage, set in the Gobi Desert, is almost entirely sunk in sand, while Hydro, set in a hydroelectric power plant, features a below-ground, deadly water discharge. The other two multiplayer additions -- the map 'Downhill' and the Peacekeeper SMG -- are welcome accompaniments that loyal fans will certainly enjoy.

Transitioning to Zombies, it’s apparent that Treyarch wanted to try something different from past outings. Instead of over-the-top, massive experiences as the focus, Revolution’s Zombies map -- Die Rise -- trades in a horizontal gaming landscape for vertical one. As you may expect, Die Rise is set in a towering skyscraper and features numerous levels to explore while you're running away from flesh-eating monsters. While the concept works, there are several hindrances that hurt what could have been one of the finest Zombies maps to date. For example, the edges of the maps look almost identical to points where you can jump down a level, which may lead to a free-falling death if you aren’t careful. It’s also incredibly easy to have a teammate fall below a level, only to be stuck without the means to meet up with your squad. However, if you’re more into the strategy aspect of Zombies mode, Die Rise may be what you’re looking for, as constant communication is key for survival.

The most unsuccessful addition to the map pack is Zombies’ new mode: Turned. When the match begins, there will be one human player; you and your zombie counterparts will have to pursue and kill that player with vicious swipes. By killing the player, you instantly turn human and become the 'hunted.' The player with the longest time as a human win. Sure, it’s entertaining, but it honestly carries no long-term value. Frankly, it’s nothing you’ll be itching to play for weeks, or even months to come. The Diner map is absolutely crammed, and zombies move at such a frantic pace that it’s difficult to fend off foes as a human for any extended time. Turned is the equivalent of the 'party games' in Black Ops and Black Ops 2 (Sticks and Stones, One in the Chamber) -- the concept sounds cool, but you’ll only “turn” to it every once in a blue moon.

That being said, Revolution is a fresh leap for Treyarch and Call of Duty map packs. It's bound to satisfy fans of the series. There are some excellent hits in map design, bust some crucial misses, such as Turned. You’ll find some worth in Revolution, and if it is any indication of what’s to come for Black Ops 2 DLC, then there's a lot to be excited for.

Animation footage of Obsidian's Aliens RPG surfaces

Once upon a time, way back in 2006, SEGA had plans to publish two games based on the Aliens franchise: an RPG and an FPS. The RPG was to be developed by Obsidian Entertainment (Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas); the latter became what today is known as Aliens: Colonial Marines, a colossal disappointment from Gearbox. 

As the story goes, in 2009, the Aliens FPS was canceled without explanation. Adding salt to the wound, the game was just about ready to ship -- whatever you consider that to be. I mean, Aliens: Colonial Marines did ship and we saw what we got with that. Fans today are now left wondering 'what if'.

Well, over the weekend, we might have gotten a glimpse at what could have been. Footage of the canceled Aliens RPG has surfaced. First posted on the Guru3D forum, the video appears to be uploaded by character artist Danny Garnett who claims the game was titled Aliens Crucible. The video shows off various animations from the game -- many of which could give Aliens: Colonial Marines a good run for its money.

We don't know exactly how old this footage is, though the video was uploaded one month ago. Even with its age, many of the movements seem more fluid than what we had in Aliens: Colonial Marines. The Aliens RPG was to be released for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. As I mentioned previously, it was announced back in 2006.

fire's revenge walkthrough

Fire's Revenge is another new physics based point and click game from nextplay. This game is hot right now and borderline pyromaniacs are playing this as I type this. The player's goal is to build the largest fire the city has ever witnessed and prove all the other fire persons that you are the most fiery of them all. Yes, you are the flame in this game so act like one.

There are thirty levels in it including the tutorials that will walk you through the controls and mechanics. There are achievements for those who love to achieve something for extra challenge. With the goal that you have to touch as many planks as you can in order to get higher rating, some levels in this game are relatively difficult but not impossible. It's just that you will have a lot of trial and error moments. Here is Fire's Revenge walkthrough demonstrating how to beat the game.
