Xbox 360 and PS3 remake dated; PS3-exclusive Double ‘O’ Edition bundled with Move and Sharp Shooter peripheral plus downloadable Moonraker villain.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception may be the biggest PlayStation 3 exclusive hitting stores on 11-1-11, but it’s not the only one. Activision today announced a November 1 release date for the PS3-exclusive Double ‘O’ Edition of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which will arrive at retailers the same day as the standard Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game.
The Double ‘O’ Edition of the game will come bundled with Sony’s PS3 Move and Navigation controllers, a PlayStation Eye camera, and the Sharp Shooter peripheral shell. It will also have an exclusive downloadable character in Hugo Drax, the villain from the Bond film Moonraker. Drax will be playable in the game’s multiplayer component, armed with his laser pistol from the film. Activision didn’t announce a price for the bundle, but a similar offering for SOCOM 4 sold for $150 earlier this year.
Built on a new engine and overhauled from last year’s Wii version, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded will feature a single-player campaign that lets players employ gameplay modifiers (infinite ammo, Golden Gun mode), with additional MI6 Ops challenge levels and an expanded Time Trial mode. For multiplayer fans, the game will let up to 16 players compete online with new modes, maps, weapons, and characters from the Bond universe.
It’s a battle so titanic that only Tokyo, birthplace of giant mutated monsters, could possibly hope to contain it! This isn’t about Street Fighter X Tekken anymore. It’s all about Rufus X Bob.
Seriously, they could have just released Rufus X Bob and I would have gladly paid $60 for it. Just look at how much fun they’re having in this Tokyo Game Show trailer!

I’ve liked the look of this one for a while, but I had seen the words “PSN exclusive” being bandied around. Reasuringly, the developers Playbrains (who you may remember as the folks that brought us that Madballs game) recently confirmed that yes, Sideway is “definitely coming to PC – via Steam”. That screenshot doesn’t really do the game justice, so embedded beneath is a trailer that shows off the unique set of mechanics that set it apart from the competition.
2D characters in the 3D world? What will they think of next. It’s hard to tell based on the little infomation we have to go on so far whether the plane-switching platforming will result in fun puzzles, or whether its mostly just an aesthetic choice, but it’s certainly grabbed my attention. After 2D platformers declined in popularity at the dawn the the 21st century, it’s wonderful to see their continued resurgence.
From the looks of things, Sideway melds classic 90s era platforming, a new world bending gimmick, and fat beats. A potent combination, I’m sure you’ll agree. It’s due out on October the 11th, and it’ll set you back $10.
How many trailers manage to accurately convey a design philosophy while also being pretty damn funny? I’ve done some swift calculations on my abaci and mathomancy tells me that the correct answer is this one for Serious Sam 3: BFE. Despite pouring scorn on so many modern gaming conventions, the whole thing is so gleeful that it doesn’t seem spiteful, just completely and incurably insane.
The video says episode 1 and I’ll be very happy to see more of this helpful chap before the game’s release on October 18th. Marketing is not supposed to be this much fun.
