Gallery: Valkyria Chronicles II


As promised, a small but nice set of VC II screens. I love how well the excellently versatile Canvas Engine has translated to the PSP and from what I'm hearing from someone who picked up the game yesterday, the gameplay is “pretty cool” as well. Hell, it SHOULD be, as the original was one of the best PS3 “sleepers” to date as well as an excellent strategy game in its own right. I'm sort of surprised there's no Valkyria game on the DS yet, but on the other hand, it's great to see the PSP get yet another great release, right?

Anyway, I've no time to be jealous of friends gaming away while I toil (and I ain't got time to bleed, either) – I just have enough time to post an update or three a day. So there…

As I keep saying: 2010 is shaping up to be the best year for Sony's handheld so far.

Enslaved To Take Over YouTube Tomorrow (And Yes, There Are Prizes To Be Won There)


Namco Bandai and Ninja Theory’s upcoming cinematic action game goes supremely viral tomorrow over YouTube and gamers will have the chance to not only watch game footage and download lots of cool stuff, but pre-order the game from GameStop AND potentially score some REALLY slick Enslaved: Odyssey to the West themed prizes. You all like prizes, don’t you? Well… read on, then!

(As for me, just get me a copy of the PS3 version and a working time machine so I can play through the game a few dozen times in a day. Hell, I don’t ask for much now, do I?) Continue reading

Clash of the Titans Weekly DLC Updates Listing


Fans of the Game Republic-developed recently released movie game Clash of the Titans can expand their hack 'n slash adventures with Perseus even further thanks to the new DLC Namco Bandai has started dropping onto PSN and Xbox LIVE as of a few days ago. Yes, this would have gone up on the 25th, however, my overzealous spam filter ate the press release and some other important mail. I happened to poke around in there looking for some lost stuff earlier today and well, here you go…

Still Awake With Games To See Shortly…

Amusingly enough, I’ve a Konami meeting in about 6 hours (eek). Well, off to get some sleep. With my luck, I’ll end up having to play Saw II first and paying for it later with some freaky dreams. Ah well, I actually liked the first game, so then again… I may sleep like a baby tonight.

Anyway, updates to follow when I get back – Hudson Soft will also be there with a handful of upcoming games, so… bonus!

Gallery Update: Dead Space 2

Four lovely new Gamescom screens from EA and Visceral’s upcoming sci-fi/horror smash. Issac is back and he’s got a bunch of new “friends” that all want to play not so nicely. These shots are tame compared to the jump under your seat scary demo build, but hey – this means I can run them here and not get shot at by the ESRB… enjoy!

Gallery Update: Goldeneye 007

More nice Goldeneye shots, this time from the game's multiplayer modes and maps. As a bonus, click below for some great-looking screens from the DS version (which means I also need to put that one down on my want list!) – enjoy!
