Gainesville, FL – December 5, 2014 – Trendy Entertainment today paved the way for new armies to bring the fight to the malevolent Old Ones with the release of Dungeon Defenders II, an action tower defense video game, to Steam’s Early Access program. A sequel to 2011’s widely praised Dungeon Defenders, this newest entry in Trendy’s flagship franchise launches in conjunction with The Game Awards 2014 ceremony, where it was revealed that the full game will also come to the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system next year.
“We’ve been partnering with many of our most engaged community members through our Defense Council program to make Dungeon Defenders II an experience worthy of its namesake,” said Trendy Entertainment CEO Darrell Rodriguez. “Early Access allows us to take that process of transparent, player-engaged development even further with a wider set of voices from which to draw feedback and enhance this shared adventure.”
Players that purchase Dungeon Defenders II through Early Access will gain entry to a pre-alpha build that opens up the entire first region of the game along with four of the series’ most iconic champions. In addition to receiving specific in-game gifts, Early Access participants will be able to vote directly on gameplay decisions made during this stage of production through the new Influence System.
Dungeon Defenders II is a third-person action-strategy role-playing game with both single-player and vibrant cooperative multiplayer. As the land of Etheria is besieged by the innumerable swarms of the Old Ones, players must build up their heroes and defenses to survive the onslaught. The sequel advances the core mechanics of the original Dungeon Defenders with new combat, defense and progression systems, including new abilities, loot, enemies and an elemental combo system.
And that experience will soon be open to PlayStation®4 owners. “Bringing the first Dungeon Defenders to the PlayStation®Network was a proud accomplishment for this team,” Rodriguez added. “It’s a privilege to once again have the PlayStation® community playing alongside us.”
Dungeon Defenders II is now available on PC via Steam Early Access. Early Access, priced at $24.99 standard but on sale now for $19.99 for a limited time, includes $30 of in-game currency and an exclusive Hero Embellishment set. An upgraded bundle with exclusive skins and more is also available.

SAN JOSE, Calif., (December 5, 2014) – Leading video game publisher and developer BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. today announced GODZILLA for Western audiences coming to both the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Developed by Japanese videogame studio NATSUME ATARI, GODZILLA places players in control of one of the most famous and destructive monsters in entertainment history. As Godzilla players will trample and lay waste to cities and environments with the goal of taking out each area’s Energy Generator while collecting as much G-Energy as possible. The G-Energy can then be used to power-up Godzilla, increasing both his physical size as well as his offensive and defensive skills. The game will also allow players to utilize a dynamic Movie-Style Camera Angle System, delivering the most epic camera angles from which to destroy both a multitude of locations as well as classic enemies such as Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla.
“Godzilla has had a long history and is one of Japan’s most famous pop culture exports that have entertained millions of people for generations in the West.” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. “We’re excited to continue this great history by bringing the GODZILLA videogame for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 to excited fans. Let the countdown to monstrous destruction and epic battles begin!”
GODZILLA will feature multiple game modes including; Mission Mode where players will wreak mayhem through more than 20 different stages of play; a Diorama Mode that allows players to place Godzilla in different settings to capture epic photos; and a King of Monsters Mode where Godzilla must fight his way through the franchises most famous enemies to reach the top of the monster hierarchy and claim the throne as the true King of Monsters.
Currently rated “RP” for Rating Pending by the ESRB, GODZILLA will be available in the Americas for the PlayStation®4 system and PlayStation®3 system in summer 2015.

Communications gear is a highly talked about piece of kit for any airsoft player looking to take their gameplay to the next level. Whether you join a hardcore, “Milsim” airsoft team or simply take part in some of the larger game events out there, being able to utilize radio communications is an immense tactical advantage over players not using radio communications. It can also be a boon to your own personal safety in case something goes wrong out on the field.
Most traditional communications setups require the use of a radio, push-to-talk (PTT) unit, and a microphone or speaker unit (these are many times part of a headset unit). Code RED Headsets, however, has a very “tacticool” option in their Signal 21-M6 shoulder speaker mic unit that does not rely on a standard headset style. Not only does the Signal 21-M6 plug directly into your radio instead of a PTT unit, but it also has a built-in speaker and microphone. This saves you a lot of hassle in setting your communications up on your plate carrier.
As many of you players already know, there are fields out there that require ear protection both in their public matches as well as organized events. Unfortunately, ear protection can be clumsy unless you are wearing a full face paintball mask or “Army of Two” style airsoft mask. For those of us wearing a helmet, goggles, and mesh half-face mask, things get more complicated. Those little rubber ear flaps being sold at online airsoft retailers simply don’t work well and are distracting with how they flop around when you turn your head.
For my airsoft games, I prefer to wear ear protection that not only keeps errant BBs from entering my ear canals but, also, enhances my normal hearing. I choose to wear a set of Howard Leight Impact Sport headphones. They are made for real shooting environments where they digitally-enhance ambient sound while muffle the high decibel sound of gunfire. Additionally, they have a 3.5mm input jack for your MP3 player or smartphone. Basically, they are just about the best thing since sliced bread. In fact, I use them for when I hit the real steel range as well and they haven’t failed me yet.
More interesting is how the two devices compliment each other. The Code RED Signal 21-M6 has a 3.5mm output jack on it which allows you to redirect sound from the speaker unit to an earpiece, secret service style. But, with the Howard Leight Impact Sport headphones, you can plug the included 3.5mm audio cable from the headphones directly into the Signal 21-M6. This allows you to hear the audio from the speaker unit inside your ear protection while at the same time enhancing the ambient sounds of the environment. Using the two products together is simply amazing and they go together like peas and carrots.
In terms of build quality, the Signal 21-M6 is as solid as a rock – especially when compared to most other airsoft-grade communications gear. In fact, the quality is good enough that I wouldn’t hesitate to take one of these along for my civilian bug out bag. I give Code RED a huge amount of kudos for packing this kind of craftsmanship into an airsoft-grade communications accessory. This thing will hold up to multi-day tournament use in the forest, desert, mud, wherever.
Setting the Signal 21-M6 Shoulder Speaker Mic up is very easy – you just plug it into your handy talkie and it works. If you choose to utilize the 3.5mm audio port, you just plug in there as well. It features a nice, multi-directional clip on its backside so you can attach it to some MOLLE webbing, a lapel, or any other piece of fabric you like. If you have a microphone loop sewn into your uniform or gear, all the better, it will clip onto that as well.
In terms of actual usage, the Signal 21-M6 is easy to operate with a basic push-to-talk button on one side of it. Clipping it to the shoulder strap of my chest rig made it easy to get to and use while playing, and the audio quality of the speaker unit is very good. I simply have no complaints about the unit thus far.
Overall, Code RED Headsets has an amazing piece of kit for your airsoft loadout or civilian prepper’s bug out bag in the Signal 21-M6 Shoulder Speaker Mic. It retails for an extremely reasonable $49 dollars and is available now – both at Code RED’s official website and airsoft retailers like Evike.com. Additionally, while ours was setup for Motorola 1-pin style radios, they offer a plethora of other connectors for those of you with non Motorola 1-pin units.
