New Resident Evil 6 trailer mentions first access to three new modes on Xbox 360
Capcom just released a new trailer showing a series of emotional moments in the game. It focuses on hope, and after all those touchy scenes are shown, Microsoft informs us of three new game modes coming first on Xbox 360. Check out the trailer below.
Capcom, or rather Microsoft, has not given much detail on these three new modes, but on the Xbox Marketplace, they did mention that these modes will be available after the game's October 2 release.
Enough incentive to get the 360 version? Not really.
During E3, the first demo of Resident Evil 6 debuted during Microsoft's E3 conference. That, and the fact that the Resident Evil 6 demo exclusive to Dragon's Dogma owners came out in Xbox 360 months before the PS3 version of the demo. With that in mind, it seems that Capcom wants Resident Evil 6 to be more appealing in the western market. With Xbox 360 as the preferred console in the US, they are giving more love to the 360 version of the game, or was it Microsoft the one asking for the attention?
When I first saw the demo of Resident Evil 6, I had mixed feelings with what I saw. Huge explosions, Chris going against non-infected hostile, and Wesker Jr. joining the mix. I just didn't like what I saw. But when I finally got my hands on the demo that came with my PS3 copy of Dragon's Dogma, I'm not pretty excited to get this game.
If you missed it, Migoy has uploaded his playthrough of the Resident Evil 6 demo. Head over here for each campaign.
Resident Evil 6 is only weeks away. The zombie outbreak starts on October 2, 2012 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Valve brings you Big Picture, Steam for your TV
Valve just announced Big Picture, a Steam interface just for your TV. It was added in the latest client update, and lets you play your Steam games on your HD TV. If you've always wanted to use Steam outside your PC setup, this feature lets you do that.
Setup is said to be very easy. All you need is either a laptop or PC with Steam and a HDMI cable connecting to your HD TV. Mouse and keyboard is needed, but a game controller can also be used to navigate/play through Big Picture. This is Valve expanding in a way. Out of the PC monitor and into your living room.
It's a pretty neat feature. If you have a strong Laptop or PC, you can treat it as another console by placing it beside your TV to play games. Big Picture is currently on its beta stages, but you can give it a shot now by opting to join the beta. All you need is Steam installed to join. The beta is currently for PC running a Windows Vista, 7, or 8 Operating System. Mac version of Big Picture is not yet available.

This has apparently become a trend. Releasing a talent calculator weeks before release(Months even) to give eager players a chance to plan their progression. Diablo 3 did it, even Guild Wars 2, now Borderlands 2 also gives you that option.

Head over to the characters section, and you can start your theory crafting on character building.
It's just a week away. Soon, Phycho Midget parts will fly, groups will be formed, and tons of weapons will be looted. Borderlands 2 hits stores September 18 on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Gotham City Imposters now Free-To-Play on Steam
Well this is a surprise. As I was looking through Steam today, I noticed something. Gotham City Imposters' PC has now gone Free-To-Play. Pretty late for the party since this was actually released at the end of Aug.
If you're what happens when Batman is not around protecting Gotham, apparently this happens. For those who don't know, Gotham City Imposters is a multiplayer-only FPS game that lets you play as either a wannabe Batman protecting Gotham, or a wannabe Joker terrorizing the city.
Sadly the console version still require you to pay up in order to play.
This release felt like a secret. Not only is it not in the featured section of Steam's Free-To-Play, there was no heads from Monolith Productions or even Warner Bros that they were planning to go free on the PC version. The trailer above was actually released on the day the Free-To-Play model hit Steam. In the end, a free game is always a good thing.
Head over to Steam right now if you feel the urge to be a Batman imposter.
