San Diego Comic-Con is just a couple days away, and we’re expecting to get a peek at THQ’s Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Based on the 80’s anime series, Voltron is a combination of five robot lions controlled by members of the Voltron Force who join into this massive kick-ass robot to defend the universe from King Zarkon of Planet Doom. Nowadays this would be considered extremely gay, but in the 80’s, it was the poster child of badassness. Optimus Prime better watch out! Voltron: Defender of the Universe is scheduled for release October 2011 on PSN and XBLA.

The North American demo for Catherine drops on XBLA and the PlayStation Store a little later today!

If its anything like the Japanese demo (and I’m assuming it is) it should run about 20 minutes long, depending on how well you do at solving the puzzles. If you know nothing about the game, then it is definately something you should have your eye on, especially since it releases soon.

For some, it would seem that the days of challenging 2D platformers is bygone, but luckily, Magiko Gaming has you covered! Today Magiko is releasing the follow-up to Platformance: Castle Pain, and its called Platformance: Temple Death. The game will only set you back a buck, and will offer quite a bit of challenge, while boasting more checkpoints than its previous installment (which should ease your rage quitting a little). Pick it up on XBLA later today!
