NAMCO BANDAI Games Reveals New Ace Combat® 6: Fires of Liberation™ Downloadable Content
NAMCO BANDAI Games today revealed information and assets for the six new plane variants for Ace Combat® 6: Fires of Liberation™ that will be available for download from the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace on Thursday, January 31. Featuring classic squadron themes from previous entries in the Ace Combat series and several original designs, these new plane updates let players experience their favorite aircraft online and in the game’s single player campaign with a new look and enhanced capabilities.
Typhoon – UPEO Emblem (Free): Charged with quelling military uprisings around the world, the members of the legendary UPEO Squadron were the heroes of Ace Combat 3. Outstanding turning and stability help this plane weave through the battlefield and pick off enemies, making up for its slightly diminished arsenal.
CFA-44 Nosferatu – Prototype (200 Microsoft Points): Armed with an Electromagnetic Launcher (EML), this variation of the Nosferatu places great emphasis on aircraft stability to ensure a high rate of accuracy at all distances. The raw combat power and enhanced accuracy of the EML helps make up for the plane’s dogfighting shortcomings.
Tornado GR4 – Raging Shark (200 Microsoft Points): One of the most recognizable and feared designs in the sky, the Raging Shark version of the Tornado GR4 is a powerhouse in battle, with huge increases in firepower and defense coming at the expense of speed.
F-14D Super Tomcat – Razgriz (200 Microsoft Points): Known as both champions and demons, the Razgriz Squadron possessed an incredible drive to achieve victory, making them the unquestioned heroes of Ace Combat 5. Like the original Razgriz, this plane has extremely high durability ratings to ensure that all squad members survive each operation.
Su-33 Flanker – Yellow Squadron (200 Microsoft Points): One of the most iconic opponents from Ace Combat 4, the Yellow Squadron stood as the pride of Erusea, with the charismatic Yellow 13 leading five hand-picked wingmen. This plane stands as a tribute to their fearless nature, with incredible maneuverability at the cost of limited armor.
Su-47 Berkut – The Idolmaster Miki-EX (400 Microsoft Points): Customized by Miki Hoshi of the hit Idolmaster series, hundreds of hours of tuning have transformed this plane into a superstar. While its stability is less than ideal, Miki’s careful touch has helped this plane realize its hidden potential in battle.

Having had the thrill of appearing live on Fox News to try and clear the waters over a vast video game misrepresentation, I have to say I feel for Geoff Keighley.
In the first two minutes the anchor says that Mass Effect has full nudity and sex and a psychologist "expert" talks about how statistics show that games are played by young boys and that Mass Effect is all about objectifying women. Oh wait, you can play as a woman too, Keighley points out and the full-on nudity? About half a boob for 30 seconds of a 30 hour game.
Keighley totally took charge of the interview. How much, you ask? He goaded their expert, who seconds earlier was talking about sexism, to call him "darling." Nice, maybe ask him to bend over and pick up a pencil next darling.
Let me end by saying it's obvious that every one of the people who they had discussing it after the fact have not only never played Mass Effect, they probably heard about it five minutes before they were supposed to offer an opinion. Very shoddy. Though, at least they got his name right.

Rockstar Games have set the final release date for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV.
"We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, found and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We've pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment."
Colorado Springs Police are investigating an armed robbery of a Playstation, an Xbox and several video games at a family home.
The hold-up lasted 30 mins, with the suspects threatening to shoot the family. The robbers made off with the consoles on foot. The police have said they do not think it was a random act.
Kristi Claybourne says, "They were saying if anybody moves, shoot them; if they flinch, shoot them." She says the three men held her and the others at gunpoint while they tore through their home. "He put a gun to the back of my head." Claybourne describes the suspects as black or hispanic, in their late or twenties and less than six feet tall.
Deadline Games has announced it’s working on a “gritty, emotional shooter”, Faith and a .45, for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
The Denmark-based independent developer says the game will feature a heavy focus on characters, co-operative gameplay, road movie storytelling and cinematic aesthetics, and will tell the story of two outlaw lovers against the backdrop of the Great Depression.
"Since we at Deadline have our roots in movie production, we value original stories, settings and characters very highly," said Deadline CEO Chris Mottes.
"Our previous games are testament to this, but we believe Faith is going to take our creative might to a whole new level."
The Nordic developer, founded in 1996 as a production company in film, television and interactive entertainment, but which now focuses exclusively on game development, will be presenting the game to selected publishers at the 2008 Game Developers Conference in February. It was previously responsible for Total Overdose and Chilli Con Carnage.
