Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI, also known as Sangokushi 11, is the 11th game in KOEI's famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms series. Released for PC on March 17, 2006 in Japan, and later Traditional Chinese version on July 27 in Taiwan, the game had no PC version for English speakers so far, but that's subject to a change in the near future...

<-250x250 Square - left->KOEI just announced that the historical simulation Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is going to become available for Windows-based PCs in English throughout North America on the 29th of July, 2008!

"Following KOEI's successful launch of Warriors Orochi for Windows-based PC earlier this year, the response to bringing more of KOEI's popular franchises to the platform has been overwhelming. For PC releases, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series has always been at the top of our fans' wish lists. We are looking forward to bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI to Windows-based PC this summer," said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President at KOEI Corporation.

The action is set during the end of China's Han Dynasty and the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., RTK XI is the most captivating game of the series, blending classical Chinese ink-paintings with debates and duels rendered in realtime 3D animations.

I am sure there's a lot to discover while playing this game, but there's still a bit of a wait ahead. Well, at least we know that the SRP is $19.99, so you won't have to break the bank to buy RTK XI!

Anyone here remembering Earthworm Jim? Well, probably some of you weren't even born when the first game in the series was released, so let's look back for a while... Back in 1994, Earthworm Jim was developed and released by Shiny Entertainment for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and later ported to SNES, Game Boy, Game Gear, Sega Master System, and even the Game Boy Advance, a few years later. In the meantime, Earthworm Jim was taken over by Interplay, who just announced that a new Earthworm Jim game is under development.

The game, called Earthworm Jim 4, is being developed together with character creator Douglas TenNapel, who will also serve as creative consultant for the project, and help launch an animated series and feature film.

After the dark period at the end of the 1990s, Interplay closed its gates in 2004, but came back in 2007, after selling its Fallout intellectual property to Bethesda Software, and now they have just announced the first move that's intended to put them back in the game.

Unfortunately, all we know for now is "Earthworm Jim 4," and nothing else. Not a single word about platform, release date, expected system requirements, maybe even some multiplayer modes...so we must keep our eyes on Interplay, and you must keep your eyes on us - or simply subscribe to our news by email, it's just as easy as that!

Team Fortress 2 doesn't sound like news, since the game has been around for some time as a part of The Orange Box, and next week it should begin being sold seperately, but when we talk about new content for this excellent class-based, multiplayer warfare game, that's interesting news...especially when we're talking about free content!

While PC gamers are already enjoying free new content in Team Fortress 2, those playing it on consoles don't know exactly if the content will be free or not, but Valve's Doug Lombardi gives them high hopes - "Oh, for free, definitely, as much as we can. You know, we don't have full say over that, but we have some say over how that works. So, for us, for free is the way to go. The gamers play the game, they want to keep playing the game, so we've collected their fifty bucks at the start, and once they're in the park, they can ride any ride they want in the park. So, for us that's been the philosophy."

These being said, the outcome of this problem remains open, but let's hope for the best!

Grand Theft Auto is a notorious game franchise, made even more popular by its problems in various countries, were some games of the series were pulled back from stores because the content, various themes and the gameplay were considered "too much". The 9th game will be Grand Theft Auto IV, also known as GTA IV or GTA 4, but its version label is this, because GTA 4 is the first game in the 4th generation of the franchise. Scheduled for wordlwide release on the 29th of April, GTA 4 will be the first game to use the new RAGE game engine, and today I just got my hands on some interesting details about its multiplayer mode...

Unfortunately, we're not talking about official information, but it's better than nothing, so here we go - GTA 4 will have no less than 15(!!) multiplayer game modes, supporting up to 16 players at once. Each game's rules will be set by its host - obviously - but the interesting part is that you will be able to change your character's appeareance as you wish, including race, hair, clothing, and so on.

At last, here's the game mode list - Hangman's Noose, Car Jack City, Bomb da Base and Bomb da Base II, Mafia Work, Team Mafia Work, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Turf War, Cops N Crooks, Race, GTA Race, Deal Breaker, Free Mode, and, at last, an unknown mode.

Do you miss Hulk? If you didn't check the comics, at least I guess you put your hands on The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. If you also missed that game, released by Radical Entertainment and Vivendi Games back in 2005, I am sure you must have seen at least one movie featuring Hulk, the green giant pictured below, part time Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, and part time superhero...

Well, here's the news - Sega and Marvel announced to have a new Hulk game under development, and this one is scheduled to appear at the same time as the new Hulk movie, this summer.

For now, we know that this game will feature unlimited destruction, allowing you to throw anything you can grab into buildings, but you can also demolish with your bare hands. More than that, the dynamic open world of the game allows you to climb buildings too, so battles will be fough on both horizontal and vertical fronts.

Unfortunately, this game is covered by shadows for now, but since the PS3, Wii, DS, PS2, Xbox 360 and PC platforms should have it available by the end of June, I guess we'll have to wait and see...
