Dracula's sullen son Alucard stars in the first DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Konami announced today. Titled 'Revelations,' the add-on goes down a little before the main game, discovering what Alucard was up to and playing with his own vampiric powers.

If I were to make a play about how great I am, I'd want as many people to see it as possible. It's a sentiment Baron Dashforth evidently shares, as the Victorian monster hunter's tale Foul Play is coming to PlayStation 4 and Vita too, publisher Mastertronic announced today. It's a downloadable beat 'em up, starring the dashing gentleman and his sidekick recreating their adventures on stage.
Once upon a time, the prospect of Android microconsoles like the Ouya was so exciting that several companies pushed out their own devices. In reality, there's barely interest in even one.

Tropico 5, you may be surprised to learn the debut gameplay trailer reveals, looks an awful lot like earlier Tropico games, and a bit like most other city-building sims. But it also shows more of the centuries-spanning timeline and technology, from the huts of 1800 to gleaming skyscrapers in 2028.
Zeno Clash developer ACE Team yesterday announced its latest creation, Abyss Odyssey, but didn't have much to say about what it actually was. Today it's revealed that oh!

Publisher Atlus also released the first trailer, giving a peek at the game.
Pre-order DLC is usually along the lines of extra costumes or weapon unlocks, but Rebellion sets its sights on a loftier goal: killing Hitler.

Kill emotional vampires stalking the nerd heart of Tokyo by ripping their clothes off: that's the basic premise of Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed, which publisher Xseed has announced it's bringing over to North America. It's an action-RPG developed for PS3 and Vita by Acquire, and, well, come watch a trailer to see just how unusual it all is.
If you're going to murder people and smash through civilian homes anyway, it may as well look nice. A new World of Tanks video developer diary gives a good long look at the free-to-play tank 'em up's upcoming physics engine overhaul, which will slap in Havok Physics for prettier destruction and more realistic vehicle handling. It's a bit pretty.
