Center yourself briefly with a Leela demo ... then try Rabbids
Did you get too worked up over that Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer? Let us help you calm down from your frothing state into a "flow state." THQ put up a demo for Leela, Deepak Chopra's meditation tool, on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. There's no word on how many of your seven chakras can be opened in the demo -- no doubt you'll have to purchase the Kinect game in full in order to get all the way balanced. But maybe this will help you get a quick mini-meditation over lunch. When you're sufficiently calm, you can then move onto a Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking demo and get right back into that frenzy.
Ubisoft bringing Assassins, Rabbids, and Future Soldiers to Gamescom
Sure, said assassins, rabbids, and future soldiers will arrive in video game form, but there's at least an air of danger in Ubisoft's Gamescom lineup. The French publisher revealed its German cavalry this week, saying that all titles will be available either in hands-on versions or hands-off presentations. From Dust (released on consoles thus far), Far Cry 3, Might & Magic Heroes VI, and Rayman Origins will be on site. Ubi will also hold a roundtable discussion titled, "Is Online Gaming Changing How We Create?" and featuring "creative leaders from Ubisoft's online teams. It'll be open to press, Ubisoft partners and the show's trade visitors. It's not necessarily bad news for you, Joe Public. While we're busy watching the roundtable, you could be jamming on some Anno 2070!
The Rabbids approve of Captain America
We're not exactly sure why the stars of Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids: Alive and Kicking would help promote Captain America -- especially since Sega produced the movie tie-in game -- but we'll accept most any excuse to see the Rabbids being silly.
Play new Rabbids, Rayman and Just Dance games at Comic-Con
Ubisoft has announced its totally non-comic-related (but perhaps comical) contributions to the July 21-24 Comic-Con event, including opportunities to play its new games. Booth 4245 in the Exhibit Hall will host playable demos of Rabbids: Alive & Kicking, Just Dance 3, and Rayman Origins. On July 23, Ubisoft will hold an "Assassin's Creed: The Creation of a Universe" panel, featuring a preview of the Assassin's Creed Embers animated short. Outside of the Comic-Con venue itself, Ubisoft and "The Nerd Machine" are setting up a "Nerd HQ" in downtown San Francisco, where players will find demos of Rayman Origins. Yes, "Nerd HQ" is somehow not inside Comic-Con.
Raving Rabbids: Alive and Kicking for Kinect on November 8
Raving Rabbids: Alive and Kicking was just announced for Xbox 360's Kinect. The minigame collection, which supports up to four players, only showed off two activities during today's Ubisoft presser. The first was a Whack-a-Mole game involving Rabbids, with another called "fill the shapes," where you get friends all over each other to fill a shape on the screens. The title will give a great excuse to hold a naked party November 8.
