Life in Japan thus far

As many of you might know, I currently reside in Tokyo, Japan. Filled with anime, Otakus, maids, and of course hot Japanese women. Very hot. So anyways, I’d like to have us sit down and chat for a while about what exactly is going on…


“NiGHTS” sequel returning to Nintendo Wii!

Sonic Team developed NiGHTS has been confirmed by both Sega and Nintendo this morning. Rumors reached its peek this past week as pictures published on Nintendo’s official periodical Official Nintendo Magazine circulated throughout the web illustrating what seemed to be the acrobatic protagonist of NiGHTS formed by stars laid out on a pitch black sky [...]


Xbox 360 “Elite” 120GB, HDMI, to be released in April 07?

It looks as though Microsoft is updating the Xbox 360, inside and out!
The first HDMI-enabled Xbox360 will probably be a Black ‘Elite’ limited edition that will also come with a 120GB HD and will retail for $479 in April 2007. Some blogs/sites claim Microsoft will announce it this week. The 120GB HDD addon and Black [...]


Devil May Cry 4 Official Capcom Press Release

Back in January I post about some predictions in next gen gaming. While I didn’t list DMC4 as one of my predicted titles, I DID say that MANY other titles will be ported for developers to recoupe costs. Today it was announced that Devil May Cry 4 will indeed be coming out for Xbox [...]


The show goes on

A year ago I would have said this was completely impossible.
Devil May Cry 4 is coming to the XBox 360.
Some time ago, IGN promised they had insider news that MS’ latest console would see unprecedented JP developer love. I wrote it off as the usual hopeful crap, to be later shown as yet another [...]


Final Fantasy Tactics now has multiplayer.

IGN reports today that the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP will come with a multiplayer option. Personally I would have prefered to have an online play feature, but still is almost as good. Unfortunately, they still haven’t said if they will release this game in America or not.


Conan The Barbarian Trailer

Yep, God Of War has spawned a new wave of medieval hack and slash games. CTB is no slouch! Check out this gore filled trailer!


Armored Core 4 Gameplay Video

Wow! I can honestly say that the lack of online play and shitty controls kept me away from this game on PS2. Now that it’s online, I can learn to like the controls. They may have done some cool stuff with the control scheme for the 360 version though. The game [...]


Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Sells A Million In Japan

Capcom is pleased to announce that Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for the PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system (referred to below as the PSP® system) has shipped more than 1 million units in Japan. The second installment has managed to outperform even the popular first game, to reach one million shortly after release. With the [...]


God of War is PSP-bound.

This is quite possibly the greatest news for PSP owners since the announcement of the new Castlevania remake of Rondo’s Blood and it’s inclusion of Symphony of the Night. If you managed to check out God of War 2, you’ll find the advertisement on the back of the instruction manual. However, there is no specific [...]


Microsoft trying yet again to drop the BC ball

I feel bad for cribbing content from Kotaku, but this is important enough people need to see it regardless of source.
Microsoft is downplaying Backwards Compatibility again.
Fact: we as system owners were promised 100% BC. Eventually, to be sure, but 100% means one hundred percent. Not “we’ll do it till we think we [...]


Crytek Shows Us What Next Gen Is All About

This f/x demo is incredible. Crysis should set the standard for next gen gaming when it’s released. There is so much attention to detail you could easily get lost in a game like this. Immersion is everything and if you can’t put the player into the game, what’s the point? Push [...]


Heavenly Sword Facial Demo

Oh me oh my! I’m getting very excited about this game. Check out Andy Serkis in this facial demo for Heavenly Sword.


GDC ‘07 gives us PS3 news

Weither it’s good or bad remains to be determined. First up: Killzone will finally show it’s face at E3 this year. At the conference, Phil Harrison revealed some long awaited in-game footage of Killzone, with the title ‘E3′ appearing at the end. However, Harrison’s words of warning before showing the clip seems to suggest this [...]
