A free demo is also available if you want to give it a try before you, know, buy. More details after you take a minute to watch this new trailer:

As you can see, the action is lovingly old school, with the little crash-landed spaceman dude kitted out with a jetpack, grapple hook, weapons, and power-ups. His mission is search and rescue ā€“ he has to find his missing crewmates, all while avoiding/blasting the aliens which probably want to liquidise his brains or something nasty like that.

Hereā€™s a handy bullet-point list of features:

DLCentral Latest News Update

To get you all geared up for theĀ Vengeance DLC pack, Treyarch has flipped the switch to allow double XP on all Black Ops 2 multiplayer modes this weekend. It starts today on June 28th (10am PST/6pm GMT) and ends July 1st (10am PST/6pm GMT) and you can drink it in on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

 

If youā€™re unfamiliar with this kind of event, let us explain. Every action you perform in Black Ops 2 multiplayer is rewarded with XP (eXperience Points), which gives you access to bigger and badder weapons and perks. If you play during the double XP youā€™ll grab extra points and level up quicker to open more of that deadly arsenal on offer. Easy.

In theory, Xbox 360 players should be fully boosted for the Vengeance DLC launch, which happens the day after the double XP weekend closes. Hereā€™s what you can expectā€¦…

Nevertheless, a partial excuse, that the House of Kyoto took its: before choosing to abandon the “feast” of the classic La-based Conference in favor of a more concise and sober Direct, then install demo not able to give the perspective of the real value of Super Mario 3D World.

ā€ŽWhen, a few weeks ago, we flew to London to review ā€Žā€ŽNeed for Speed: Rivalsā€Žā€Ž, we came home full of doubts. The review there evening seemed too short to take home a complete article, so we decided to wait for the arrival of the game before you write a critique. This opinion is also shared by colleagues present with us at the event.ā€Ž
ā€ŽThe game was not slow to arrive but, for obvious reasons, that it was a PC version. So we threw our headlong on the game and the surprise was pretty big: on balance, the five hours of gameplay in London there would be enough to write a review. Because, ā€Žā€Žas we wrote in the review dedicated to the PC versionā€Žā€Ž, Need for Speed: Rivals after a couple of hours reveals all his cards, and he leaves us on a terrible feeling of emptiness.ā€Ž
