According to developer Klei Entertainment, controls have been tweaked in Shank 2, which means the sequel is bound to offer evolved combat experience. New weapons, better enemy AI and varied type of combos are all present too. The game’s trademark 2D art direction will be carried over to the new entry.

Shank 2 will also feature a Survival mode, giving players the opportunity to play cooperatively and take down hordes of enemies – both online and offline.

Shank 2 is headed to PC, PSN and XBLA, priced $9.99 or 800 MS Points.

According to SEGA, House of the Dead 3 will first release on February 7 – the sequel follows later in spring. Both games will take advantage of PS3’s HD capabilities, will feature trophies, as well as full PlayStation Move support.

“The House of the Dead has always been one of SEGA’s most popular series, and over the years we have worked hard to bring that full arcade experience to console owners,” said Haruki Satomi, senior vice president of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “The abilities of the PlayStation 3, as well as PlayStation Move, have let us get closer than ever before. The only thing these titles are missing is a need for quarters.”

House of the Dead 3 struck arcades in 2002, and was later released on Xbox and Wii.  Meanwhile, House of the Dead 4, launched on arcades in 2005, never seen the light of day on consoles – until today’s news.

One of GamesRadar’s top 100 games of all time, the revamped version of this popular title will include the original Japanese and US soundtracks as requested by the fans, and, for the first time, the ability to play the game as Sonic’s best friend Tails, who can be unlocked by clearing the game for the first time. Sonic CD also features the first appearance of Metal Sonic, one of Sonic’s most enduring nemesis.

“Sonic’s 20th Anniversary has been a banner year for him – as well as for everyone at SEGA,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “Gamers around the world are rediscovering their love of Sonic through his adventures, new and old. Whether you’re a long-time hedgehog aficionado looking to enjoy a favourite moment from Sonic’s past, or a brand-new player who wants to join in on the fun, there’s no better place to start than with one of Sonic’s most celebrated games, Sonic CD.”

Sonic CD will be available tomorrow for the following platforms: Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft (400 MSP), the PlayStation Network for $5.00 / £3.59/ €4.49 / AUD$6.25 and iPhone, iPod touch, iPad for $4.99/ AUD$5.49/Euro $3.99/UK £2.99. Sonic CD will also be released on Android and Windows Phone in the New Year.

In the new entry, as the name implies, looks Motorstorm studio is not following previous iteration’s suite with the inclusion of series’ chaotic and explosive off-road racing trademark; but instead, apparently they’ve shrunk it a tad bit down, and thus no large vehicles are existent, but RC ones.

Motorstorm RC will be available for purchase from the PlayStation Network as a downloadable cross-platform title between PS3 and PS Vita. Sony says that one purchase of the game grants access to both versions of Motorstorm RC – meaning you can either play it on the go wherever you are, or just relax and have your arcade racing deeds on the big screen.

Planned for a simultaneous release across both platforms in spring 2012, check out the launch trailer below.

Set for release in spring 2012, the HD release of the classic Ubisoft platformer is remastered to take advantage of widescreen ratios, along with high-definition visuals, obviously. Rayman 3 has been updated to adapt solid 60 frames per second, and is touted to offer “improved audio quality”.

Achievements/trophies fanatics should be delighted as Ubisoft is offering them collectible pieces – also there’s support of competitive online leaderboard to showcase your skills playing as the limbless legend.

Set for Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC with the price of 1200 Microsoft Points and $15, Gotham City Impostors will release next year on January 10.

The multiplayer shooter is developed by FEAR studio Monolith. It features 12-player battles and allows for “control of an unhinged Gotham City overrun by impostors inspired by the DC Comics characters Batman and The Joker.”

PayDay: The Heist, which was pegged for launch two weeks ago, has been ever since delayed into a vague period. But now that it’s finally coming out, Sony is reminding users who got there summer-announced PSN Play promotion running that they can still bag the game for free.

“We know you all have been waiting for this announcement for some time and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the delay may have caused you,” Sony Europe exec Chris Sturr wrote on the EU PlayStation blog.

There’s no mention of a price, however.
