SEGA have finally announced that their arcade fighting game, Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360, will feature an online versus mode at launch in Autumn 2007.
The Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 is based on the latest arcade version update and features both analogue-stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support. The game also includes an improved Quest mode featuring more CPU rivals, items, and emblems for character customization. The DOJO mode has added features including leaderboards, training move settings, improved throw and escape training, and the option to change your opponent’s position and recovery type. These all work to create a more refined DOJO mode where players can improve their fighting strategy.
Michael Giacchino will pen the soundtrack for the latest title in EA's war shooter franchise.
The composer of Lost, Alias, and The Incredibles has been enlisted to provide the music score for Medal of Honor: Airborne.
American Michael Giacchino was also the original composer of the theme music for the Medal of Honor series. His work on the popular TV series Lost earned him an Emmy in 2005 for Best Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore).
Medal of Honor: Airborne is the 12th in the series, which started in 1999 with the Medal of Honor PlayStation title. The latest version focuses on the experience of paratroopers in World War II, who were dropped behind enemy lines to wreak havoc among the German units.
Giacchino commented on his work for the latest Medal of Honor title, "Video games are another vehicle to tell a story, and music plays a vital role in that."
Medal of Honor: Airborne will be released on August 24 in Europe, and August 28 in North America for the Xbox 360 and PC, with a PlayStation 3 version also due to land in November.
2K Games have just released information about an Australian/European exclusive outfit for the Berserker Darkling hidden in the game. It can be unlocked with a phone number that you can call to get the outfit.
The phone number to get the golf gear is: 555 5664.
As we prep for deployment of “Project Sylpheed,” starting July 10 across the nation, we must arm our fighters with the necessary data to engage the enemy.
First and foremost, rookie pilots must learn the fundamental flying techniques that allow for an easy pick up and play experience. As pilots become more versed in the basic maneuvers and want to challenge their navigating skills in “Project Sylpheed,” controls can be adjusted to professional level, which includes yaw, roll and pitch. Before long, yawing, rolling and pitching will become second nature and almost instinctive while in the midst of an intergalactic dogfight.
Pilots interested in taking flight to the next level will also need advanced movement techniques – 180 degree turns and flips, squadron commands, afterburners, power cut, speed match and padlock mode – which will come in handy as they face an overwhelming number of enemy fighters. Afterburners allow for rapid flight, but while they are activated, a pilot’s course is not easily altered and the shield gauge is drained. During the engine power cut, attempts to change course while coasting will change the direction the craft is facing, without changing its flight path. Additionally, the speed match is useful for maneuvering behind an enemy in a dogfight, while the padlock mode helps to keep track of critical targets by keeping them locked in the center of the screen.
“Project Sylpheed” is developed by Game Arts and SETA Corporation exclusively for the Xbox 360 console, and published by Microsoft and Square Enix. The information provided in this briefing can be used for all your upcoming coverage needs.

Build, create, and experience the theme park of your dreams in Thrillville: Off the Rails.
LucasArts today announced that Thrillville, the videogame where players create and experience the theme park of their dreams, will open its gates for a whole new season in Thrillville: Off the Rails. Featuring some of the most outlandish roller-coaster concepts ever imagined, as well as new ways to talk to park guests and a wider array of carnival games, this October release amps up the family-friendly mix of gameplay that made the original Thrillville such a hit. Frontier Developments returns to create Off the Rails, which will scream onto the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, Games for Windows and, with the help of developer DC Studios, Nintendo DS.
Off the Rails lives up to its name with 20 death-defying rides so outrageous, they inspire the same word from every park visitor who sees them: “WHOA!” Players build these incredible “WHOA Coasters” to leap from one track to another, launch through the air like cannonballs, blast through burning rings of fire and more.
A new lighthearted story ties together more than 100 missions, complete with 34 playable multiplayer theme-park games and improved social interaction with park guests. The in-depth conversations both advance the plot and suggest better ways to manage the park. But is every guest to be trusted? One never knows when a rival from the nefarious Globo-Joy might attempt to sabotage Thrillville parks with deceptive information…
“Between its amazing new WHOA Coasters, improved socialization, and a huge selection of minigames, Thrillville: Off the Rails is practically three great games in one, and it offers a fantastic bang for the buck,” said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. “We’re also excited to introduce the franchise to four new platforms so that even more families can enjoy the Thrillville experience together.”
“Together, LucasArts and Frontier challenged ourselves to improve upon everything that made the original Thrillville such a success,” said David Braben, chairman and founder of Frontier. “I believe that we have more than met this challenge, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Thrillville achieves some ‘record attendance’ with Off the Rails.”
