The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief Out Now

King Art’s and Nordic Games’ point and click adventure, The Raven – Legacy of a Master Thief, is now available to download via various digital distribution platforms for PC, Mac and Linux and will be available via the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade later this summer.

The first chapter The Eye of the Sphinx is now available via digital download on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/233370/),
or in the Nordic Games shop as a Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition

The beautifully animated first chapter, The Eye of the Sphinx, can be purchased today with a season pass and a release discount of 10% for just EUR/USD 22,49; £16.79 (Standard Edition, regular price: EUR/USD 24,99; £20.99) and EUR/USD 26,99; £22.49 (Digital Deluxe Edition, regular price: EUR/USD 29,99; £24.99). This pass will also give access to chapters 2 and 3 as they become available on August 27th and September 24th respectively.

Set across 1960’s Europe, The Raven combines the thrill of the chase ‘whodunit’ with the risk and reward of a heist story where players get to experience both sides of the story as the investigator and the thief. Paying tribute to Agatha Christie’s crime stories and gangster movies from the 60s and 70s, The Raven is set to be a thrilling episodic journey.

“The reaction to The Raven so far has been extremely positive so we’re excited to finally get the game out to the community,” said Martin Kreuch, Producer at Nordic Games. “The episodic format should create an immersive experience that allows players to experience cliff hangers like you would when watching a TV series, which is rarely seen in video games. KING Art has done a tremendous job adding those moments and we’re keen to see how the community reacts to it.”

“Over the past 2 years we’ve worked tirelessly to produce a game of genuine quality that not only comes up with an incredibly dense atmosphere and a truly enthralling soundtrack but also provides a rich story full of twists that will leave players with their eyes and mouth open,” said Jan Theysen, Creative Director at KING Art. “We’re extremely proud of the game and a lot of work has gone into enticing people back to the adventure genre and the story has been key factor in making this happen.”

The daring hunt across Europe is a story that features more camera shots and character animation than all of KING Art’s previous point and click adventures put together. Journeying through thrilling and dense atmospheres with the aim of catching the thief players will follow his trademark black feather clues to capture him and protect the legendary sapphire, the “Eye of the Sphinx”.

To learn about the back story to The Raven, there is a free Interactive Graphic Novel available to play where players can learn about the bitter rivalry between The Raven and Legrand.

To begin the story simply click here for the browser version.
If you are on the move, get the Android App on Google play. Or get the iOS App on the App store.

As Pikmin 3 launches this week in stores and on Nintendo eShop across Europe on 26^th July, exclusively for Wii U. Shigeru Miyamoto’s inimitable take on real-time strategy shows the world from the perspective of inch-high explorers, who command a legion of tiny but powerful Pikmin to take on enemies and puzzles in a quest to save their home planet! Fans have waited for almost a decade for this latest in the critically acclaimed series, where lush vegetation and curious wildlife are brought to life with beautiful HD graphics and the Wii U GamePad offers a new take on strategic gameplay. There are also new Pikmin types, new multiplayer modes and Miiverse integration that will take you on the wildest Pikmin adventure yet!

Pikmin 3 stars the original Red, Yellow and Blue Pikmin who each have special abilities, but also introduces two new types of Pikmin that allow for new gameplay strategies. Meet the Rock Pikmin who are the sturdiest of all Pikmin and can be used to smash through glass walls or enemies’ exoskeletons! Also making their debut are the Winged Pikmin, whose ability to fly lets them carry things above ground and lift blockades, forging new paths.

In Story Mode, take control of three new characters Alph, Brittany and Charlie, who are tasked with saving their home planet Koppai from starvation and searching the peculiar planet of PNF-404 for nutritious fruit. With PNF-404 full of hostile inhabitants, the intrepid trio are not alone – but thankfully they are aided by a diminutive army of plant-like Pikmin who obey their every command.

Your loyal Pikmin put their unique talents to use to seek out items, solve puzzles and fight enemies; through your actions the Pikmin can grow in numbers and overcome all – or be sent forth to be chomped! The challenge is to work through each day to most strategically seek out fruit and take down creatures – but fear not when the situation turns sour, as Pikmin 3 introduces a new feature that allows you to jump back in time and tighten your tactics.

In Mission Mode, you are given tasks to complete within a time limit, such as defeat a fiendish boss or collect as much fruit as possible. Play alone or co-operatively and aim for the highest score on the online leaderboard, where you can see how you compare to other Pikmin 3 players around the world!

Bingo Battle is a competitive multiplayer mode which pits you and a friend against each other, on a variety of different maps, to complete a line in a special Pikmin-themed bingo card. The Pikmin twist is that each square on the bingo card is an enemy to take down and collect, or an item or fruit to bring home. With numerous ways to play the maps and rules that can be customised, novices and veterans alike can enjoy employing different tactics to outwit their opponents!

Wii U brings lush HD graphics to the world of Pikmin 3, but it also places the Wii U GamePad – or KopPad as it’s known in the game – at the centre of your strategy. Use it as a map and divide and conquer by tactically sending the three explorers to waypoints in the area, or study your actions at the end of each day in the replay to improve your strategy. There’s also the Camera, which puts you in the tiny shoes of the travellers and turns your GamePad into a motion sensor-controlled camera that allows you to snap photos of your findings and share them on Miiverse! And if someone else needs the telly, you can continue your solo game thanks to the Off-TV Play feature.

Pikmin fans with an eye on more Wii U games releasing this summer may take note of a special offer. Those who download Pikmin 3 from Nintendo eShop between 26^th July

Review of the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Headphones

Sennheiser recently announced the launch of their new Momentum On-Ear Headphones, and here is our review.

Injecting vibrant blue, pink, green and cream colours into Sennheiser’s range of headphones, the new MOMENTUM On-Ear is crafted from the finest materials and inspired by a team of international design experts and trend scouts.

The new compact MOMENTUM On-Ear headphones are stylish without compromising on sound quality. Incorporating a high performance transducer system which offers uncompromising rich and detailed sound performance with a slight bass emphasis, these headphones deliver a technically advanced audio experience you would expect from the Sennheiser brand.

The new headphones feature a headband and earpads finished in high-tech Alcantara, a specialised luxury material loved by yacht and automotive upholsterers for its unique combination of softness, durability, and breathable comfort, whilst giving the wearer a great listening experience on the move, even in noisy urban environments. Lightweight sliders of premium brushed stainless steel complete the high end look and a single sided detachable cable with in-line remote and mic for Apple iDevices means easy control for music, making and receiving calls.

Technical Data

Impedance 18 Ω
Frequency response 16–22,000 Hz
Sound pressure level (SPL) 112 dB (1 kHz/1 Vrms)
THD, total harmonic distortion < 0.5% (1 kHz, 100 dB SPL)
Contact pressure approx. 3.2 N
Ear coupling Supra-aural
Jack plug Cable 1: 3.5 mm low profile angled plug
Jack plug Cable 2: 3.5 mm straight plug
Cable length Cable 1: 1.4 m iPod®/iPhone® cable with integrated smart remote and microphone
Cable length Cable 2: 1.4 m cable for computers, phones, music players and any device with a headphone output
Transducer principle Dynamic, closed
Weight 160 g (including remote)
Load rating 200 mW

What’s in the Box?

The box contains a carry case containing the headphones, some manuals and a spare cable (which is always useful, especially if you have cats that like to chew on cables!)

The is quite large as the headphones themselves don’t fold up, but it looks great and offers a lot of protection.

Inside the case there is also a pocket to store your spare cable or anything else small.

The spare cable is just a cable, it doesn’t have the remote that the main cable has, but it’s useful non the less.

A Closer Look

Inside the carry case is a cloth bag with the headphones in which provides another layer of protection, which you can’t get enough of!

The iRemote has the all the usual abilities you would expect for listening to music, it also has a built in mic and the ability to be used to make and receive phone calls. It can be used with any Apple idevice (so the iPod, iPad or iPhone).

You can easily detach the cable to either replace it with another or for easy transport. It just a small turn of the connector and pull the cable out. This is good as it stops the cable from falling out.

Ensuring that the headphones fit comfortably on your head is easy as the ear cups are easily positioned by moving them on the headband.

As you can see, the headband and the ear pads are covered with Alcantara (and the colour is dependant on which one you purchased). The Alcantara is very soft and even after prolonged used I didn’t feel any discomfort.

And in the recent heat we have had here in the UK having a material that is breathable certainly helps the comfort factor, as there is nothing worse than having the ear pads stick to your ears!

And as well as being practical, it also looks great!

Final Thoughts

I am a big fan of Sennheiser mics – I use a set of their wireless lav mics when I do video interviews, and I have used a set of in-ear headphones in the past, so I was happy to try on a pair of the new Momentum on-ear headphones and see just how they sounded.

I do a lot of travelling and so having a really good quality pair of headphones is really important to me. They have to have great sound (which is a given really) but also be comfortable as I can often wear them for many hours at a time.

The Momemtum on-ear headphones do not disappoint and they ticked both boxes for me perfectly. I wore them on a recent flight and they were very comfortable, however they are not noise cancelling so you may find they are better suited to quieter environments, such as your home, where they excel.

There is also the added bonus of having a built-in microphone as part of the iRemote which means that I didn’t need to take off the headphones to make or receive calls. Personally I don’t see myself using that feature much when I am out and about (that’s a personal preference) but when I am at home, that’s a different matter.

I also liked that the cable was removable and replaceable. The removable part makes it very easy to transport in the headphone case (there is a pouch for it) and the fact it is replaceable means that when one of my cats decides to eat through the wire (as so often happens with cats) I don’t need to replace the entire thing, just the cable.

There are four different colours to choose from too! So if you want a good looking, practical high quality pair of headphones then you should definitely take a look, and a listen, to the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear headphones, you won’t be disappointed.

The Momentum On-Ear headhphones are priced at a very reasonable £169.99 and are available now from John Lewis or via Sennheiser’s online store. They come in either Pink, Green, Ivory or Blue (the colour we reviewed).

2K and 2K Marin released a new video for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified showing the next step for Agent Ennis Cole.

The year is 1962, JFK is President and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear – but a far more powerful and insidious enemy than communism is threatening America. Known only to a select few, a top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating and concealing a series of mysterious attacks by an otherworldly enemy. As special agent William Carter, players call the shots, pull the trigger and lead their squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a high-stakes, covert war to protect humanity. The Bureau has been erasing the truth for decades. The time will come for the truth to be revealed.

With 51% of the votes, fans have decided by an incredibly narrow margin to have Agent Ennis Cole grab the bottle instead of the gun. Watch the complete video to see the consequences of your actions:

We also recently interviewed Alyssa Finley from 2K Marin, so over to Alyssa:

Fans will be able to access their FIFA 14 Ultimate Team full roster, in-game items and in-game currency (coins) from either console: between Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. All changes made in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team will be reflected in both consoles so fans will be able to compete with their squads on either console throughout the season.

In addition, fans who begin their FIFA 14 Ultimate Team experience on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will maintain their current division in Seasons mode on the new consoles. After the new consoles launch, fans who complete their current division matches and their current tournaments on one console, will earn status that will be recognized on both consoles: between Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Fans also have a one-time choice to transfer their FIFA Points between Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Within each of the respective platforms (Xbox and PlayStation), FIFA 14 Ultimate Team will share a common auction market so that fans can enjoy a richer and deeper experience with the millions of other players in the Ultimate Team world from the moment the new consoles launch.

“Our fans invest an enormous amount of time and energy into FIFA Ultimate Team as they craft their own unique squads, and recognizing that investment is absolutely essential,” said Matt Bilbey, Senior Vice-President and Group GM, EA SPORTS. “We will ensure that no time will be wasted and fans will get full value for the investment they make from the start of the season on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to their move to their new console.”

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HObhdnH73sQ?feature=player_detailpage%5D

FIFA Ultimate Team is the most popular game mode within EA SPORTS FIFA, with over 3.4 million games played daily—where fans create unique squads to play their preferred style of football. This year ultimate squad customization is possible with the addition of all-new Chemistry Styles that will make every player and every team unique. Each Chemistry Style has a unique effect on the way a player performs by enhancing specific attributes during a match. Players start with Basic Chemistry Styles but these can be changed by applying Chemistry Style training items to the player.

These items will be randomly available in any pack that can contain a gold rare item; they can be earned in-game, acquired on the Transfer Market and randomly attained in packs that are purchased. There are a variety of different Chemistry Styles that can be applied to goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards. After crafting their squads, fans will be able to test their talents in the popular Seasons mode, now expanded to 10 divisions, online single games and tournaments.

Plus, new streamlined search filters will help target coveted players in the Transfer Market as fans re-shape their teams based on the real-world performances of their favourite players. Additional features in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team will be revealed in the weeks ahead.

Experience the emotion of scoring great goals in FIFA 14. Innovations to the award-winning gameplay make the game more authentic and more fun. Dictate the tempo of a match, create chances through midfield, and then unleash the perfect strike. A new feature called Pure Shot and a brand-new ball physics system will transform shooting, making every shot attempt feel real, and when players connect with the perfect strike, feel exhilarating.

FIFA 14 will release in North America on 24th September and worldwide on 27th September and the game will be available on Xbox One, and the PlayStation4, later this year.
