It is captured from the PlayStation 4 version of the game in glorious 1080p and in total it’s around 22 minutes of footage – and don’t worry, we have kept as many spoilers out of it as possible.

Skylanders Trap Team’s Kaos Doom Challenge mode revealed

0

Today Activision has officially announcing an all new diabolical gameplay mode for the so called “Emperor Kaos”, the most infamously evil villain in all of Skylands!  Its called “Kaos Doom Challenge,” sniveling Portal Masters like you can feebly battle through increasingly difficult waves of my personal minions using your ridiculous army of Skylanders.

 Skylanders Trap Team Logo

Kaos, will allow you to build defensive towers and battle my fearsome allies using any of your Skylanders from your entire collection. However, when you bumbling Portal Masters utterly fail to progress past my hoards of evil underlings, the “Mystery Box of Doom” will be opened – which will then incomprehensibly spit out gigantic villains that will completely destroy you! And because I am both benevolent and merciful, I will even let you fools use any of your pitiful Trapped Villains to fight them.

Even the so called Emperor Kaos has an official quote from me -BEHOLD!  “A recent evil study of a thousand trolls revealed that nine out of ten agree that I am the most powerful and impressive evil doer to have ever conquered Skylands.  Naturally, I had every tenth one banished to my “Kaos Doom Challenge” to test the effectiveness of my 100 waves of ultimate evil doom – and they were never heard from again. So let’s just say EVERYONE agrees – I am the most powerful and impressive evil doer ever.”

The Skylanders Trap Team Starter Pack will be available on a bunch of seemingly random days in October (5th October in North America, 10th October in Europe and 2nd October in Australia to be precise) on the following exceptionally awesome platforms: Wii and Wii U, a variety of iPad, Kindle Fire and Android tablets; Xbox One and Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 system; PlayStation 3.

Exploring LEGO Mindstorms: Tools and Techniques for Building and Programming Robots

Exploring LEGO Mindstorms: Tools and Techniques for Building and Programming Robots is the complete guide to getting the most out of LEGO Mindstorms EV3.

Exploring Lego Mindstorms

Written for hobbyists, young builders and master builders alike, the book walks readers through the fundamentals of robot design, construction and programming using the Mindstorms apparatus and LEGO TECHNIC parts.

Written by Eun Jung (EJ) Park, a recognised authority in LEGO robotics curriculum, Exploring LEGO Mindstorms begins by covering the basics of the software and EV3 features, before letting readers get to work quickly by using projects of increasing complexity. It includes plenty of examples throughout every step.

Designed to teach readers the fundamentals rather than have them follow a ‘recipe’, Exploring LEGO Mindstorms helps users to:

· Get started with robot programming with the starter vehicle, Auto-Driver

· Explore the features of the programmable EV3 brick

· Design the robot’s actions using Action Blocks

· Incorporate environmental sensors using Infrared, Touch and Colour sensors

· Expand the use of data in their program by using data wires with Sensor Blocks

· Process data from the sensors using Data Operations Blocks

· Use Bluetooth and WiFi with EV3

The book also shows readers how to build unique EV3 robots that each present different functions, including: the Spy Rabbit, a robot that can react to its surroundings; a Sea Turtle robot, Mr. Turto; and a Robotic Puppy Guapo.

As well as helping users discover ideas and practices to develop their own method of designing and programming EV3 robots, Exploring LEGO Mindstorms provides extensive guidance – from the very basics of block programming through to data wiring – that will enable them to unlock their EV3 potential and ignite a lasting passion for innovation.

Exploring LEGO Mindstorms is available in paperback and e-book priced £23.99.

Win Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new DVD Sabotage

It’s time for another giveaway on CDW, and this time you can win the new movie Sabotage on DVD.

915n-h3JZFL._SL1500_

Ultimate action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an explosive comeback alongside an incredible supporting cast in SABOTAGE, the most brutal action thriller of his career to date, released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms from 15th September 2014 by Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Directed by David Ayer (End of Watch), SABOTAGE stars Schwarzenegger (The Last Stand, Escape Plan) as commander of an elite yet volatile DEA task force, with support from an all-star cast, including Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans), Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike, TV’s True Blood), Josh Holloway (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, TV’s Lost), Terence Howard (Dead Man Down, Hustle & Flow), Mirelle Enos (World War Z, TV’s The Killing) and Olivia Williams (Hanna, The Sixth Sense).

After raiding a drug cartel’s mansion, John ‘Breacher’ Wharton (Schwarzenegger) and his team of rogue agents hide $10 million of the hoard for themselves. Returning to retrieve the money later, they find it’s vanished… and the carnage begins. As the agents find themselves taken down one by one in increasingly sadistic and horrific ways, the race is on to find the culprit. When Breacher teams up with Caroline Brentwood (Williams), the officer assigned to investigate the murders, the team find themselves turning on each other, culminating in an explosive showdown where no one is safe – and everyone is a suspect.

Featuring the most violent, gory scenes of Schwarzenegger’s career, SABOTAGE is THE action thriller of the year- a must own for fans of old-school heroes, featuring nail-baiting tension throughout, and a return to form for the ultimate action hero of our time.

Feel the game in FIFA 15

0

If you like football and some people say it’s the world’s greatest drama then EA SPORTS FIFA 15 will put fans centre stage. So close to the real thing, FIFA 15 takes fans on a dramatic ride – immersing them in the game so they feel and experience everything that happens on the pitch.

Launching today, the ‘Feel The Game’ campaign celebrates the arrival of FIFA 15 and depicts how players are now so close to the action they can literally feel the emotion of every tackle, save, and goal. Created by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, the global campaign kicks off with an epic 2:15 film that puts FIFA 15 fans at the heart of the action.

Immersed in the game’s world, the film shows FIFA fans experiencing everything that the players feel. Fans are plunged onto the pitch for an in-game view of the action, separated only by a thin television screen. The action also seeps into their environments, when it rains in-game, it pours in their loft; when a player receives a crunching tackle, the FIFA fan takes the impact and falls across the room; and when players rise in unison to protect their goal, objects in the room rise to the occasion.

Lionel Messi plays the hero – even one of the world’s greatest football players can feel the emotion of FIFA 15.

The campaign airs globally starting today, with versions of the film running across TV and digital channels. A :30 version will also air on UK TV during the Liverpool vs. Ludogorets game on the evening of Tuesday, 16th September.
