In an attempt to attract a new staff for a hushed project, Sqaure Enix has released the first artwork for an upcoming title. One of the positions Square Enix is hiring for is a Network Programmer. A position with a title like that might suggest that there is some online play that will be expected of this untitled project. A 3D Graphics Programmer position is also available, so 3D compatibility will most likely be available. Square Enix will also be working with Epic Games as this title will use the Unreal Engine.
No specific details have been officially released, so we have to judge the game based on the artwork (above image) so far. The artwork suggests that the atmosphere of the game will be dark. The castle in the distant horizon will most likely be the main focus of the game if not a very key part. The owl could just be for the artwork, or perhaps a companion in the main character's journey. Either way, the artwork is intriguing so far, and I can't wait to see more in the future for this game. Keep your eyes peeled for details.

The BBFC has a game listed under the name "Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition". It is obvious that the content included in a special edition version of the game will include Mortal Kombat (2011) DLC characters such as: Rain, Freddy Krueger, Scarlet, etc. This doesn't mean that there won't be other new features added to this "Komplete Edition". There have been no confirmations or solid details released about this game, but we won't have to wait long, because the BBFC has the game listed to release on February 17th, 2012, and you can bet that there will be a proper announcement soon to let gamers know of the games existence.
Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, teased in a Tweet last month that there would an "unexpected surprise" regarding the Mortal Kombat series. There is a large chance that he was referring to this game.

There's a Zombie Killer in All of us!
Treyarch's "Nazi Zombies" survival mode was not only a hit for the CoD franchise on consoles, but in the world of Apple Apps as well. The simplified iOS version of CoD Zombies that came complete with all available maps from the "Call of Duty: World At War" Zombies map packs that also allowed for Co-Op online game play, similar to the original console versions, has released the second installment featuring the zombie maps from "Call of Duty Black Ops".
The entire game has been "taken to the next level" Black Ops Zombies is a well-realized incarnation of even it's consoles, predecessor brethren. As originally presented in the console loading screens, the interface is laid up with a comic-style art when navigating the menus and HUD. Players are able to pick any of the original four characters to play from, as well as the 6 reincarnated new zombie maps. There are three difficulties to choose from: Recruit, Regular and Veteran, which is a considerable step up from the default console version.
As of December 1st, the Zombie-slaying app is available for $6.99.

Dragon Age Multiplayer Rumoured
According to Kotaku, an insider has announced to them that Dragon Age is set to move away from its singleplayer roots, with both PvE and PvP elements thrown into an arena-style experience.
While they are unsure if it is set to be a standalone title or whether it will be packaged as part of the main series, the use of DICE's Frostbite 2 engine is sure to be encouraging news to fans of the series. The Frostbite 2 engine, which debuted earlier in the year with Battlefield 3, has since been used on Need for Speed: The Run and early views of the game report that it looks beautiful.
And, if you like Dragon Age, why not check out our forums, where you are sure to find others who share your interests!

New weapon skin along with my pumpkin pie? Sweet!
Tomorrow, Epic Games will be releasing the Versus Booster Map Pack for free as the stuffing in honor of Thanksgiving. Two of the maps are brand new to Gears 3 and the others have already arrived in the Horde Command Map Pack.
They are:
- Bullet Marsh
- Clocktower
- Azura
- Rustlung
- Blood Drive
Clocktower map
Epic Games also teamed with Paramount Pictures to deliver a special challenge based on Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Which, starting tomorrow, means anyone who watches the new Mission: Impossible trailer on Xbox Live can also get a shot at unlocking an exclusive Weapon Skin set based on Ghost Protocol as the gravy to go along with that. However, there's the catch that you have to be the Gears of War 3 campaign on Insane difficulty by December 25th, one month's time. If you already have, then it will be available automatically in the new weapon skin pack on December 31st.
