May 26, 2017 – Today we can share the official trailer for the season finale of the critically-acclaimed The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier. Please click the YouTube thumbnail below to view the trailer, or download the trailer directly from the links above.

Beginning Tuesday, May 30th, players can download Episode 5: ‘From the Gallows’ on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC/Steam, iOS, and Android-based devices. The episode will also download for all users of the special Season Pass disc for consoles, which includes the critically acclaimed two-part premiere and grants access to all subsequent episodes in the five-episode season for download as they become available.

Episode description: Richmond teeters on the brink of collapse as chaos reigns from all directions. The lives of its citizens and all those closest to Javier hang in the balance. The decisions you’ve made and bonds you’ve nurtured across the season will determine which characters now trust Javi to safeguard all they hold dear as the crisis pushes every relationship past its breaking point…

The two-part premiere of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier launched to widespread critical acclaim. In their review of the premiere, IGN.com said that, “Smart characterization and writing for Javi and his family, plus the return of Clementine, add weight to a largely unfamiliar but already engaging new frontier that I can’t wait to continue to explore,” adding that its “uncharted territory feels familiar and, excitingly, fresh.”

GamesRadar said that A New Frontier, “demonstrates the resonant power of interactive storytelling,” and that it, “finds the right balance between rewarding longtime players who’ve shaped their own version of the story and welcoming those who might be hopping aboard this grim adventure for the first time.”

Game Informer said the two-part premiere has, “shocking deaths, intense betrayals, and split-second decisions to second-guess,” claiming that “Everything leads up to a hell of a cliffhanger, making me intrigued to see what happens next.”

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier acts as both a new beginning for players fresh to the series and unfamiliar with Clementine, as well as a continuation for players who have experienced Seasons One and Two. Players new to the series are able to start a story that is tailored to this new beginning. Players continuing onward from prior seasons have multiple options for quickly configuring their tailored backstory, or importing past save files from various platforms.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier Episode Three: ‘Above The Law” is rated ‘M’ (Mature) for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, and Use of Drugs by the ESRB. Future content in the season is yet to be rated.

To date, The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series has sold more than 50 million episodes worldwide, earning more than 100 Game of the Year awards from outlets including Metacritic, USA Today, Wired, Spike TV VGAs, Yahoo!, The Telegraph, Mashable, Polygon, Destructoid and GamesRadar, and was also the recipient of two BAFTA Video Games Awards for Best Story and Best Mobile Game.

The Walking Dead is set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series and offers an emotionally-charged, tailored game experience where a player’s actions and choices affect how their story plays out across the entire series.

Batman Mind Cerebral Combat Trainer Review

2017/05/26

Geek News, News, Reviews, Tech News, Tech Review

This is not my first time to put sensors on my head used a mind control headset to play a game. In fact it isn’t even my second. The first time I saw a mind control game device was at a trade show and it had tons of wires hanging off of it. Also, try as they may, it was hard as heck for participants to successfully complete. Although it looked interesting, I walked on by to head to an appointment elsewhere. When I finally did check one out, it was a home mind control game kit and, using just my thoughts, I was supposed to keep a ball motion. I found concentrating like crazy made the device work… unfortunately I also found if I just crinkle my eyebrow really heavily and didn’t concentrate at all it would go up. After this disappointment, I was leery when the next one arrived in the mail, a Star Wars branded device. My hope in mind control gaming was restored because of this, and I was really excited to try the BATMAN MIND Cerebral Combat Trainer from Soap Studio.

The BATMAN MIND headset has a terrific design because of several factors. The headset unit is lightweight, has adjustable contact points, and has large contact pads which allow for high levels of sensitivity in picking up the wearer’s brain waves. The hologram shown on the display unit is only one sided, which is a bit of a bummer, but the whole setup is far smaller and easier to travel with to make up for that. The hologram is actually a very old stage technique known as a “Pepper’s Ghost” which is the same effect used in the ballroom with the dancing figures at the Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. The headset unit is charged via USB then communicates with your phone which is the only other electronic element via Bluetooth. You can also choose to leave the display unit at home and just play the game with the headset and your phone. The game itself is free on both iOS and Android app stores, and the game is free – though it is useless without the hardware.

I tried at first with the full apparatus and found the hologram was clear enough to play the game but, even with the brightness cranked all the way up, text was difficult to read. When I first heard that the game used eye blinking I was afraid that it might become a blink-fest, but it works really well. Drifting up and down by concentrating and relaxing was hard but it was satisfying when completed. I thought it would just be battles but they test how you use your mind to hack explosives as well as drift and fight and maintain targeting and well. Without giving too much away, this game was leaps and bounds beyond the previous mind control game attempts. There are a large variety of tasks for you to juggle, and it really feels like you are training your mind. As a result BATMAN MIND is an terrific game that actually help kids to learn to concentrate more, help the elderly stay cognitive and just keep the general user to have a sharper mind. It has hidden characters, 3 levels of difficulties and 30 challenges making it so it has replay not just to sharpen your mind but to see if you have what it takes to get through on a tougher difficulty. Plus I bet you will want to unlock all the hidden characters.

Since it is a relatively straight forward app that you download and the important part is the hardware you can come out with sequel games or learning programs to keep you sharp and keep the very handy hardware from collecting dust on the shelf. I am hopeful that Soap Studios will come out with additional games to use the headset.

What I hope is that, eventually, they pair mind control up with VR headsets so that you can interact more freely and naturally with your environment. Let’s say in the VR simulation the phone starts ringing. Using the VR you look at the virtual phone then using your already trained brain signals from programs like Batman you pick the phone us and talk to someone by just a quick thought. Maybe in the VR game you are backing down the hall and a zombie is creeping toward you. You lift a gun with your mind, aim with the VR then shoot by blinking. Basically the Batman Mind is great but I see it’s possible future, if used with other technology to be amazing – but, I digress…

Back To Reality:

BATMAN MIND is the real deal when it comes to mind control gaming, giving you fun challenges set in the DC universe with characters you know and want to play with. I think there is a good chance that the brainwave-powered gaming is part of the future of gaming, learning, and general cognitive longevity. Plus you get to play Batman. And everyone know the old saying: Be yourself, unless you can be Batman. Then be Batman. With your mind. For about $130 dollars!

Geek News, News, PlayStation 4 News, Xbox One News

Ridgewood, NJ, May 24, 2017 – Kalypso Media is excited to announce that it will be publishing Daedalic Entertainment and Mimimi Production’s critically-acclaimed real time tactics game Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on August 1, 2017 in North America and July 28, 2017 on consoles in Europe.

Originally released on PC earlier this year, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun has been received overwhelmingly positively by both players and critics alike. This summer, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One gamers will finally get the chance to hone their tactical skills as they make their way through a challenging campaign with more than 25 hours of gameplay. A beautiful and detailed environment set in ancient Japan creates a compelling and engrossing atmosphere, where players must simultaneously control up to five characters, each with their own unique and versatile skills that will prove crucial in mastering the game’s missions. You’ll need to use stealth and plan each move carefully to overcome fiendish enemies and complete your objectives.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun will be available for as a digital download from the PlayStation® Store and Xbox Games Store, as well as a boxed retail edition on both platforms. Also launching on the same day, the demo version of the game will let players work their way through the first map in its entirety, and also a short glimpse of the second, giving a hands-on preview of the absorbing atmosphere, detailed characters, challenging missions and slick controls that await in the full game.

Frieder Mielke, Technical Director at Mimimi Productions, says: “Porting Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun to console was a big challenge. We wanted to make sure that console players would be able to enjoy the exact same experience as on PC, and I believe we’ve achieved that. But no one can be a better judge of that than the players, and that’s why we also decided to release a demo version for both platforms, so that every console player can try the game for free and decide for themselves.”

Shadow Tactics – Blades of the Shogun will release on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on August 1, 2017in North America and July 28, 2017 on consoles in Europe. For more information please visit www.kalypsomedia.com.
