Bethesda is pleased to announce that they’ve just released a new gameplay video – ‘The Study of Stealth’ – for Dishonored, which has recently been named ‘Game of the Show’, ‘360 Game of the Show’, and ‘PS3 Game of the Show’ by the Official GamesCom Awards.

While you can play Dishonored many different ways to suit your individual play style, this video highlights how the game’s stealth system works and highlights the tools and powers at your disposal to make your way through the game unseen by your enemies.

Dishonored, the first person action game from Arkane studios, casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. Creatively eliminate your targets with the flexible combat system as you combine supernatural abilities with weapons and gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your targets under the cover of darkness or ruthlessly attack them head on with weapons drawn. The outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make.

Dishonored will be available in Australia on October 11, 2012 and throughout Europe on October 12, 2012, and is slated for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Today Team NINJA reveals two new contenders returning to the Dead or Alive fighting roster, as well as detailing a wealth of new features in the expanded online mode that awaits gamers in Dead or Alive 5, which launches on the Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 on September 28, 2012. Both DOATEC leader Helena Douglas and former DOATEC scientist Lisa Hamilton return to the Dead or Alive franchise with new styles and deadlier techniques.

Helena Douglas, also known as “Fortune’s Heiress,” is the current leader of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee (DOATEC) and the daughter of Fame Douglas, founder of DOATEC. As a famous opera singer and Pi Gua Quan martial artist, Helena’s refined elegance translates into a quick yet graceful fighting style that allows her to pull off smooth windmill-like combinations that overwhelm her opponents. After the apparent destruction of DOATEC after the last tournament, Helena has re-emerged to announce the reformed DOATEC and issue an open invitation to all potential competitors to the fifth Dead or Alive Tournament.

Lisa Hamilton, also known as “La Mariposa,” is a former scientist for DOATEC and an accomplished luchadora. Lisa’s unpredictable lucha libre style combines moves she learned while training with friend and fellow DOA competitor Tina Armstrong during high school and her own blend of high-flying kicks. Her unorthodox style makes her a difficult opponent to counter and defend against effectively. Little is known as to why Lisa has returned to the fifth DOA Tournament, but the reemergence DOATEC has once again brought “La Mariposa” back into action.
?
It’s a slow descent as Helena and Lisa trade blows in an inescapable elevator heading straight for the bottom of the ocean in this aptly named stage – Depth. Surrounded by an ominous view of the vast sea, fighters must be wary of the danger lurking in the elevator panels, which if damaged could greatly affect the integrity of their makeshift battle arena. As the elevator is wracked with destruction, it speeds up and spews out dangerous fragments that become deadly projectiles which players can use to their strategic advantage in combat.

Dead or Alive 5 includes a wealth of new online features that offer players the best online experience of any previous Dead or Alive game to date. Up to 16-player online tournaments will allow combatants to set up their own bracket-style tournaments, while the fighter list allows players to view opponents’ battle records and call them out to fight at anytime. The online dojo allows players to practice with others in training mode, while the spectator feature allows players to chat while watching online battles. Players can also rock bragging rights by posting titles and sharing fighting records with friends on Facebook.

Sydney, Australia – 23 August, 2012: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced Australian availability of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, its premier Ultrabook and business tool. Forged from carbon fibre, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the world’s lightest 14-inch Ultrabook built for business, and for those who demand the highest levels of mobility, performance, entertainment and design.

This announcement marks the kick-off of the ThinkPad brand’s 20th anniversary celebrations, and epitomises Lenovo’s focus on innovative design, business-class performance and catering to the needs of today’s businesses, both enterprise and SMB (small to medium businesses).

“Very few brands are fortunate enough to have built a strong following that is passionate about each generation of ThinkPad products,” said Alan Munro, Managing Director, Lenovo ANZ. “With that in mind, we’re excited to debut the ThinkPad X1 Carbon in Australia. We feel it meets the demand for an extremely thin and light laptop, with the performance users need to accomplish professional business goals.”

Ultrabook Plus More
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon delivers an outstanding mobile experience inside a sleek and stylish design. To date, the thin and light nature of Ultrabooks has often rendered the products delicate and fragile. However, created with carbon fibre similar to what is used to engineer Formula 1 racing cars, the X1 retains ThinkPad’s renowned durability while weighing just 1.36 kilograms. With the addition of the new Carbon Fibre top cover, the X1 Carbon’s exterior cover act as an extra strong roll cage, protecting internal components and the entire chassis from damage. Similar to previous ThinkPads, the X1 Carbon has passed eight military grade spec tests for heat, cold and dust etc. ensuring it is robust and suitable for a range of environments.

Despite its thin design, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon delivers a rich user experience with a high resolution 14-inch anti-glare HD+ display into a 13-inch laptop design. It also features a backlit and spill resistant keyboard that maintains the legendary ThinkPad reputation as the industry’s best for comfort and accuracy. The X1 Carbon also includes a multi-gesture glass surface touchpad, HD face-tracking camera, dual array microphones and Dolby-tuned audio for crisp and clear sound.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon’s business-ready features, including Intel vPro technology, render it among the first Ultrabooks to offer true corporate-level security and manageability. Users have the option of Intel 3rd gen Core i7 and up to 8GB RAM. Furthermore, with optional 3G mobile broadband and hotspot technology, users can stay connected virtually anywhere, anytime. To keep users up and running, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon provides up to 6.5 hours of battery life and industry-best charge times with Lenovo RapidCharge technology.

For expansion capabilities and to manage unsightly cables, users can dock it via Lenovo’s new USB3 Dock. Additionally, Lenovo offers a variety of Service and Support packages such as custom imaging, extended warranties and accidental damage protection.

Pricing and Availability2
Pricing for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon will start at AU$1,999 including GST, and is available now through Lenovo’s business partners and via www.lenovo.com.au. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes equipped with a three year warranty.
