Nice… I want a dozen to go, hold the cheese (as there’s plenty here to choke a horse twice). The uncensored one is going up on the other DAF blog later.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge "Call of The Forge" Trailer
Excellent behind the scenes video featuring InXile staff talking up their upcoming co-op centric action RPG (which is a ton of fun, by the way). May 31st can’t some soon enough for me. PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, folks…

Sonic Generations Trailer
Hot on the heels of the game announcement yesterday, here’ s a peek at Sonic Generations gameplay. Set for a winter release, this PS3 and Xbox 360 game is looking to be the definitive HD Sonic experience (provided it all gels together everything its trying to do right and gets the fans happy). I’m liking what I see, that’s for sure… and Classic Sonic is back on the block!

Well, here you go – a look at some of the enemy types from D3Publisher of America's upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 bug-blasting action game. Hmmm… Fireworks on the 4th and more fireworks on the 5th?

Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon Hands-On
D3Publisher of America brought along bullet hell, beast hell and bug hell to their recent NYC press event and fans of insanely deep dungeon crawlers, trippy arcade shooters and giant bug blasting will all be well-served soon enough with a few key releases. I'm working on a separate hands-on for Dream Trigger, Bangai-o and Gods Eater Burst – from this point onward… this article is all about Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon and how much it simply rocks.
I've been waiting patiently for D3Publisher of America to drop into NYC with a build of Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon and after playing a bit of the very solid, very fun three-player online co-op and a bit of the intense Survival Mode, I can very safely say that the game's going to be a keeper for EDF fans old and new. The missions are lengthy and challenging even on the easiest setting with bugs appearing in differently sized packs that come from multiple directions, often mixing in different types of pests that end up being more than enough to keep you on your toes. I'm getting ahead of myself here, so I'll break it down from the beginning. Read more »

Update: Xseed Still Loves You, Wizardry Fans – You Just Need To Get With The Program…
Well, it looks as if Wizardry fans in the US hoping to see the upcoming Labyrinth of Lost Souls as a retail release will have to go all in on the digital version instead. I poked a note Xseed's way a few days ago and got back this reply:
Hi Greg,
Good to hear from you, and please excuse the late reply as things have been pretty busy with the launch of TiTS.*
Didn't see this article of yours before our Wizardry announcement, how funny. Unfortunately, we have no plans to release it on disc right now so no use holding a survey just yet, but perhaps we can consider something similar to Japan where the first one did so well as a digital game that they released it and its sequel together on one retail package later (of course that means sales here will have to be above expectations too for us to consider this).
Thanks for posting the news, glad you liked our announcement.
*Er, for the record… TiTS refers to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in The Sky, the new PSP role-playing epic just launched a few days ago. That acronym is banned on GameFaqs, as i amusingly found out while updating a post there with this news. My evolving thoughts over this (which may be helpful to the resolute die-hards grumbling away about a download-only release) can be distilled HERE. Read more »

Catherine Announcement Trailer (Late, But Still "Fun" to Watch)
Speaking of Atlus – I’d forgotten to run this nicely disturbing Catherine trailer from a few weeks back, so here you go – enjoy! I really can’t wait for this one, but now that it’s US-bound, I don’t need to spend too much money on the import version and bugging a few folks to assist in translating things. Awesome.

Brink Hands-ON: Splash Damage At The Top Of Their (& Your) Game
UK-based developer Splash Damage has every right to be chest-out, chin up proud of their upcoming shooter, Brink. The game is a total blast to play and everything from the deep character and weapons customization to the smartly paced addictiveness of the team-centered FPS gameplay is stellar stuff. I got to check the game out recently when Betheseda dropped into NYC with it (and InXile's fun RPG action/romp Hunted: The Demon's Forge) and yes, it's not only ridiculously impressive, it's designed so brilliantly that even non-FPS fans will want to pick up a controller and have a go. With its destroyed futuristic “Ark” setting and two groups pitted against each other in a race against time for what each sees as humanity's future, there's a solid sense of urgency under the trappings of what would be just another shooter du jour in less capable hands.Read more »

Got Used Games? Go GameStaq!
As someone who's been playing console games since game consoles were created, I can very safely say that there's been a massive market for used video games market since day one. Before game shops became an important part of the retail chain, pre-owned titles were either sold/traded between friends at home, school, work and yes, garage sales or flea markets. In the 80's, a number of used game shops across the country such as FuncoLand, BRE and others began the huge boom in dealing in large amount of pre-owned titles along with new releases at brick and mortar locations. Even back then, many consumers complained because they weren't given the best value when trading in recently purchased games and accessories even if they were in fantastic condition.
