Ripstone has released a trailer for its upcoming PlayStation 4 title, Pure Pool. This game comes to us courtesy of developer VooFoo Studios, who also produced the excellent Hustle Kings, and I'm going to be honest with you, I've never seen balls that look this good.

Ashes Cricket might be dead, but Big Ant reminds us that Bradman lives

A cheeky little email was dropped in my inbox this morning; Aussie-based Big Ant Studios has responded to the tragic news that Ashes Cricket 2013 is dead by releasing a new trailer for its upcoming Don Bradman Cricket 14 and reminding us that there is another cricket game on the way.

"Don Bradman set to save the Ashes" is the headline to the email. Cheeky indeed.

Developer diary; check out the newest goss on Dracula

Konami has released a new developer diary to give players insight into the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. This is a game that we have been keeping our eyes on, because we rather liked the first and playing as Dracula is always good value.

Developer diaries often provide tantalising bits of insight into the development of a game, and in this one you'll get to see Konami producer, David Cox, as well as the mind behind the game, Enric Alvarez, chat about the changes they're bringing to the Castlevania formula, as well as what it's like to work with Robert Carlyle; the best person to play Dracula we can think of this side of Gary Oldman.

The video's only around five minutes long, so use your coffee break to kick back, relax, and get a feel for how a developer goes about turning a Gothic masterpiece into an interactive game;

Trailer: Unepic for Wii U looks pretty awesome

As a big fan of D & D, faithful attempts to parody the experience have always appealed to me. After all, the whole concept of suiting up awesome armour and descending into the inky black of a dungeon to slay orcs, trolls, and dragons is timeless, but it's also quite silly.

Trailer: XCOM: Enemy Within gameplay walkthrough

I suspect that just about all of Digitally Downloaded's readers are looking for XCOM: Enemy Within. After a rather decent effort at changing up the tactical gameplay of the series for some shooter action in The Bureau, it is downright refreshing to know that 2K Games understands that people want more turn-based strategising.

In this latest trailer, 2K Games lead designer, Ananda Gupta, walks players through some of the the new weapons, abilities and maps that players will fight over in this massive expansion. And when we say "massive," we really do mean massive. This piece of DLC is so large that 2K games can't release it as DLC on the consoles (PS3 or Xbox 360). We assume that means the rather excellent iPad version is going to miss out as well.

Still, for PC gamers "more, bigger and better" should be more than enough to sell you on the game.
