Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 combines the devastating power of the mobile suit, the rich legacy of the anime Gundam universe, and the furious tactical action gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors series. For the first time, engage in melee battles against colossal enemies such as the Psycho Gundam who can quickly reconfigure their bodies into titanic mobile fortresses. Prepare to head off into the furthest reaches of space and wage war against legions of enemy mobile suits.

Story
An Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG) pilot who calls himself Quattro Bajeena infiltrates the space colony known as Gryps, the headquarters of the Earth Federation's dreaded Titans taskforce. Confirming that the Titans are developing new Gundam Mk II mobile suits, Quattro and his comrades capture some of the machines and then return to the AEUG flagship, Argama. They are accompanied by a young civilian named Kamille Bidan, a talented pilot with strong newtype potential and no love for the Titans. Evading the pursuing Titans and their allies in the regular Federation Forces, the Argama makes its way to the moon, where the rebels receive new weapons and supplies from their sponsors. After capturing several Federation warships, the AEUG gathers its forces for its first major offensive - a massive mobile suit attack on the Titans' terrestrial supply base, the underground fortress of Jaburo in South America.

Gameplay
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, like its predecessor, is a hack and slash tactical action game based on several different anime within the popular and long-lived Gundam series. Action in these anime, and thus within Gundam 2, is based around combat that utilizes in-game mechanized mobile suits and the player's ability to pilot them in combat against hordes of similarly equipped enemies. The goal in this combat is to level up your chosen character and suit by doing enough damage against the low level enemies you face, and wherever possible, the huge boss character/mechs that are associated with the particular level you find yourself on. Gundam mobile suits feature laser swords, guns, as well as propulsion mechanisms, together which can be used in a few varieties of standard and charging attacks, as well as attacks designed to knock out all enemies within a certain range by charging a power gauge before acting. As you would expect, successful attacks against bosses require much more work and precision, and in many cases rapid input of button prompts flashed during combat.

Multiple Play Modes
Gundam 2 also provides players with a few different play mode options. 'Official mode' is a default campaign where players attempt to level up characters by playing through existing plot lines from the various anime subject matter. In this mode you can choose to play from either the good, or evil side of things, but the characters are set. 'Mission mode' on the other hand allows players to mix characters and scenarios from the Gundam universe and associate them in different ways for different outcomes. Missions here are divided into several different categories, with completion of missions unlocking further play opportunities and classes of mobile suits. 'Library mode' provides players with background information on all the pilots, mobile suits and battle ships in the game. Lastly 'Versus mode' via PlayStation Network (PSN) allows players to compete against each other in three online campaigns.

Key Game Features:

• Combines the fast-paced excitement and epic, cinematic action of the Dynasty Warriors gameplay with the rich storylines and characters of the Gundam universe.
• More mobile suits, plus stories featuring mecha from the latest Gundam series, including Char's Counter Attack and more.
• Play as any of your favorite Gundam characters and mobile suits.
• Engage in melee battles against the massive Psyco Gundam, which can quickly reconfigure their bodies into titanic mobile fortresses.
• Customize your mobile suit with mecha parts collected during battle.
• 2-player local co-op multiplayer and online versus multiplayer support via PlayStation Network.
• PlayStation Network trophy support.

More Mobile Suits Than Ever
Because action in the Gundam series is so heavily influenced by its playable mobile suits, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 has been designed to include more of these than ever before. Increasing the 19 available in the original Gundam game to more than 60, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is destined to provide both newbies to the Gundam universe and longtime fans more of the mechs that brought them to the game in the first place.

Dynasty Warriors 7 - PS3 Games

You feel the weight of your sword in your left hand and the delicate balance of your spear in your right. A fierce and daunting warrior charges and you prepare to fight. You parry his attacks, dodge his thrusts and push him back with a few of your own heavy strikes. Around you, the clanking of metal reverberates in the air and combines with the sound of splintering wood. That reminds you. Just as your attacker comes at you with yet another strike, you throw out a Switch Attack and pierce his armor with your spear. Stunned, he gapes at you from the other end of the wooden stick.

Synopsis

Now in its tenth year, the Dynasty Warriors franchise returns with Dynasty Warriors 7. The game transitions seamlessly between gameplay and cutscenes for an immersive experience. With the addition of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin factions, you now have a greater variety of warriors to choose from and a larger story than ever before. Combine different weapons in the new dual weapon battle system as you battle enemies. Switch weapons in mid-combo, counterattack while guarding or create a stunning end for a string of strikes with the deadly Switch Attack. Clear occupied cities in Conquest mode so that your officer can walk freely through the town, creating weapons, trading with merchants and requesting assistance from warriors to further improve your faction. Team up with a friend to lay waste to your enemies in local or online Co-op and reap the great rewards.

In bed with Rihanna! Flame-haired beauty gets intimate with topless man

Sultry: Rihanna is her sexiest yet in the video for California King Bed


Rihanna is her most sultry yet in the video for her new ballad, California King Bed.

In a marked departure from up-tempo hit Only Girl (in the World) the sixth single from her Loud album is a slow-paced song about lovers growing apart.

The short film, which was directed by Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles, features the scarlet-haired Bajan beauty lying between the sheets with a shirtless lover.

All white: The video begins and ends with the pop superstar lying in tall grass in her underwear


As she laments the distance between the protagonists lying on the California King Bed, Rihanna - dressed in white shorts and bra - is sexy and dishevelled as she rolls around restlessly.

Donning a floaty night dress, the 23-year-old then laments to a heavenly backdrop of clouds and a Californian sunset as the lover drifts away.

Intimate: This is the singer's most revealing video yet


The director changes from colour to a black and white lens during the song's third refrain, before switching back to colour for the final shots of Rihanna lying in a field of grass, the same shot that opens the video.

At the end of February, the pop superstar took to Twitter to poll her fans, asking them to choose her next single, she wrote: 'QUESTION EXISTING: I'm shootin a new vid in a cpl wks, I just need u to tell me, which song should I shoot? What is my next single?" she tweeted before firing off, "Its hard to go from s+m to SKIN! Don't want to be 2 swiney.'

California King Bed was announced as the next single just a few days later.

Yearning: Director Andrew Mandler conjured up a real Californian sunset


The singer has been jetting across Europe to promote the big event, which culminated in the rousing gig last night where she blasted through Only Girl (in the World), Disturbia, Don't Stop the Music, Umbrella and the new single.

Rihanna has also just signed on to perform at the opening of The Today Show's summer concert series.

Her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown has also signed on to perform but they will be on stage on separate days - Rihanna on May 27 and Brown on July 15.

Distance: The ballad tells the story of lovers drifting apart

Dishevelled: Rihanna sports bed hair in the video

TOWIE's Joey Essex can't keep his hands off bikini babe Sam Faiers

Kisses and cuddles: Sam Faiers and Joey Essex share a tender kiss as they enjoy a short break in Mallorca

They may not have been dating for very long, but Sam Faiers and Joey Essex looked every inch the loved-up couple on their Mallorcan break over the weekend.

The pair kissed and cuddled as they relaxed on the sandy beach and frolicked together in the Spanish surf.

And it was no wonder Joey couldn't keep his hands off his girlfriend, as she showed off her fantastic bikini body in a bright pink two-piece.

Sticky: Sam watches as Joey learns the hard way that suncream and sand don't mix


The pair enjoyed a ride on a pedalo boat, which came complete with a slide to splash into the water, with Sam taking huge delight in giving her boyfriend a soaking.

But it seems May might be a bit early to test the water in Mallorca, as Sam gritted her teeth when she edged her way into the cold sea.

Back on shore, Sam and Joey relaxed as they sunbathed and lathered each other up with suncream - pausing only to give each other a kiss.

Hold on tight! Joey helps his girlfriend out of the sea after their cooling swim


Writing on her Twitter page yesterday, Sam tweeted: 'Been sunbathing all day ! Love the beach! Home tonight :-( x'

She then tweeted two pictures from the couple's short break, one of a heart in the sand containing both her and Joey's initials, and one of the pair grinning for the camera with their arms around one another.

Joey told his Twitter followers yesterday: 'Landed, wish I was still in spain! Was roasting this morning!!! :('

Catching the rays: Sam shows Joey exactly how to optimise their tanning session on a pedalo


Sam and Joey started dating earlier this year and their relationship has so far been documented on the second series of the ITV2 show.

And while the pair looked more than a little loved-up as they relaxed on the beach, things haven't always gone as smoothly for the couple.

On their first date, Joey decided to take Sam on a little adventure, treating her to a tour of his favourite childhood haunts - including the local dump.

Giggles: Sam pushes Joey off the slide into the sea as they ride on the pedalo


Sam and Joey started dating earlier this year and their relationship has so far been documented on the second series of the ITV2 show.

And while the pair looked more than a little loved-up as they relaxed on the beach, things haven't always gone as smoothly for the couple.

On their first date, Joey decided to take Sam on a little adventure, treating her to a tour of his favourite childhood haunts - including the local dump.

Taking a dip: Joey didn't look too worried about getting his hair wet as he plunged into the sea

Smooch time: Sam shows off her pert posterior as she leans in to give Joey a big kiss


But Sam decided to put the unusual first date behind her and give Joey another chance, bestowing upon him the greatest honour when she took him as her date to ex-boyfriend Mark Wright's engagement party to Lauren Goodger.

The penultimate episode of the second series of the show, however, saw the couple's first argument after Sam refused to let Joey go with her to Marbella, insisting she wanted to go with her girlfriends.

However, asked recently how the relationship was going, Sam replied: 'We’re getting on great. He really makes me laugh.'

It must be love: Sam tweeted pictures of herself and Joey, as well as a heart in the sand with their initials

Kate's little sister sets her sights on making a splash in business

Fearless: Miss Middleton dives into the water in Ibiza in previously unseen pictures


She may have been a bridesmaid at the royal wedding, but Pippa Middleton is clearly not cut out to play second fiddle for long.

Her dazzling appearance on William and Kate’s big day has brought the 27-year-old an army of fans and dozens of online ‘appreciation’ sites.

And now it seems she intends to capitalise on her new public profile – by starting her own party planning business.

Pippa is determined to continue with her 'business plan' despite being 'furious' when topless holiday pictures of her emerged recently

Soaking up the rays: Pippa relaxes on her Uncle Gary's yacht

Playful: Pippa climbs back aboard as William jokingly grabs Kate; right, the sisters relax on deck, with Kate using her camera

Sunshine days: William, in red shorts, with Pippa (left), Carole, in green bikini, and other holiday guests


Yesterday, as pictures emerged of her enjoying an idyllic holiday with family and Prince William on her uncle Gary Goldsmith’s yacht in Ibiza some years ago, she was said to be ‘furious’ that images of her topless had also been published.

But although she sees the topless photos as a betrayal by friends exploiting her fame, she is determined to continue with her ‘business plan’.

A friend said: ‘She is really buoyed by her success and is hoping to start her own party planning business.’ Photographs showing the new Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister partying in her underwear several years ago have also been circulating.

Heir in the air: Watched by Carole, Kate, James (in the patterned shorts) and Pippa, William attempts a backflip from the boat...

.. but the young royal finishes with an ungainly belly-flop into the water

Making waves: The Prince failed to match Pippa's graceful aquatic display


After leaving college, Pippa set up an online magazine, Party Times, on the back of the Middletons’ business.

The source said: ‘Her aim is to branch out into organising events. I am sure she’ll be able to use new-found royal contacts to drum up business.

The Middletons have started to take action to have the racy pictures withdrawn.

Love All: Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk cuddle up at the tennis

Love all: Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Irina Shayk share a private giggle during the Madrid Open final tennis match


Giggling at a private joke and stealing kisses, they look like any other couple in love.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his Sports Illustrated model girlfriend Irina Shayk appear to be enjoying their time together during a rare period of being in the same country at the same time.

The couple, who are forced to spend weeks apart due to their work schedules, watched the final of the Madrid Open tennis today.

Nail-biting: the good-looking couple were transfixed by the on-court action between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic


The good-looking couple watched as Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-4.

Irina, 25, stood out in a bright red top which matched the flowers that adorned the VIP box they sat in with other Spanish celebrities.

Former world number one Carlos Mayer and his girlfriend Carolina Cerezuela sat behind them, while Cristiano's Real Madrid teammate Iker Casillas and his TV presenter girlfriend Sara Carbonero sat next to them.

Cristiano, 26, was preened to perfection as ever with his slicked hair, designer sunglasses and beloved deep tan.

But the footballer was let down by large sweat patches on blue shirt despite the weather being a mild 21 degrees celcius.

Irina and Cristiano were reunited last week after the Russian model flew in from New York to meet up with boyfriend of a year.

They were spotted canoodling in the stands of the Real Madrid v Zaragoza match, which Cristiano was benched for after tension with coach Jose Mourinho.
