SEGA have announced a new multiplayer mode for Company of Heroes 2 called Theatre of War.
“Theater of War allows us to tell different stories from The Eastern Front in the form of new playable single player and co-operative content. The mode includes solo challenges where players are pitted against overwhelming odds, AI battles against an enemy commander with a unique play style and co-operative scenarios for fans to enjoy with your friends.
At the launch of COH2, the Theater of War mode will include missions from key battles in 1941. Choosing either the Soviet Red Army or the Germans, players will visit different locations across the Eastern Front and take part in some of the most famous battles that occurred that year. Each faction has 9 unique missions included. More Theater of War missions will be added to the game at a later date, including the previously announced mini-pack for all eligible pre-order customers.”
Company of Heroes 2 is released worldwide for PC on June 25th 2013.

The Creative Assembly have dropped a bombshell and that’s the news of free-to-play, online multiplayer game, Total War Arena. The new Total War game allows 10 vs 10 player matches and control of 3 army units of up to 500 men. Sounds a bit mad if you ask me.
No release dates have been announced at this time, but we’re assuming this will be a PC release that could be either a browser-based game or a Steam release. More on this as we get it.
First and foremost, this post is not safe for work and extremely adult-orientated. We cool?
So this has to be one of the strangest things we’ve been exposed to. This Sonic Generations mod changes Sonic’s character model to an erect penis. Hilarity ensues:
Sonic Retro community members Dario FF, Twilightzoney and Chimera have released a mod for Sonic Generations PC that allows players to enjoy 8 of the Sonic Unleashed day stages in the Sonic Generations engine. This allows for 60fps play and 1080p presentation as long as your PC is powerful enough. Check out the launch trailer below:
Capcom action title Strider (which saw previous release on the Mega Drive as well as an unofficial sequel which was released on Mega Drive, Game Gear and Master System) is receiving a new entry.
The new title will launch on Xbox Live Arcade as revealed by artwork discovered by NeoGAF users that matches the dimensions of the box art and banners used on existing XBLA games.
Also uncovered was a Steam achievement which could also mean the game is planned for a PC release.
The game has not been officially announced so a PSN release can’t be ruled out yet. No other details have been discovered at this time. More on this as we get it.
