In this installment of Ninja Gaiden you’ll get to slice down your enemies again, and again, and again…
There isn’t much Ryu Hayabusa can’t do, he’s a frickin’ ninja after all, but in his latest outing it’s apparent that even a master death dealer’s job can get a bit monotonous after a while.
Forgoing the traditional peripheral-based input, the upcoming downloadable title channels Amplitude and Frequency.
Today, Harmonix officially announced Rock Band Blitz for both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Rather than utilize the peripheral instruments that have made the series a hit, Blitz requires players only have a controller on the ready to play the beat-match title. Just like Amplitude and Frequency, Rock Band Blitz brings multi-track arcade gameplay that has players switching between instruments on-the-fly to replicate the song.
The latest game with a Kickstarter campaign is Larry Laffer himself!
About six months ago, Replay Games announced an HD remake of the first Leisure Suit Larry game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, along with plans to remake the sequels at a later time. Since then, not much has been heard about the remake, until today. Larry Laffer's comeback will now be backed with a Kickstarter campaign.
Tales of the Typical JRPG.
Japanese RPGs haven't had the easiest time this generation. The good ones are few and far between and Japan has taken notice to the downshift in popularity. Many games, such as Tales of Graces f have a hard time being localized for English speaking audiences. Thankfully, after much fan demand, the game has finally seen a release on U.S. shores and while it doesn't stray far from the formula, it provides an experience that will satisfy many starving JRPG fans.
A Japanese X-Files game perhaps?
Namco Bandai has just put up a new teaser countdown site yesterday. The attached article image shows a big X on a black background. Nothing more is known at this time.
What does fan based funding really mean for the industry?
I’d bet dollars to donuts that only a miniscule number of our readers had heard of Kickstarter a couple of months ago. And those that had heard of the crowdsourcing fundraising site could not have possibly known that it would become an important part of an evolving video game industry; that it would throw a wrench into the workings of how things have “always been done” and give the community – the fans – a voice that is not only heard, but heeded as well.
How much will you pay for a 90s arcade cabinet in your hands?
A little over a month ago, we reported that an SNK NeoGeo portable handheld system was being produced, and today more details have been released on the retro-inspired product. Reports are coming in that Blaze, a "retro console and accessory specialist," has made a deal with SNK Playmore and distributor Tommo to bring the handheld console to store shelves.
Fans successfully fund the cult classic's sequel.
UPDATE: In just two short days, the project has been officially backed, easily surpassing the $900,000 goal initially set by inXile. Currently the team is sitting at $980k, just short of a cool million; with 32 more days to go it's likely the project will accumulate much more. The story from 3/13/2012 can be found below.
This time the developers over at Irrational Games talk about another ferocious enemy in Bioshock Infinite, the Handyman.
Namco Bandai's Latest Takes the Series In A Slightly New Direction.
Many Tales fans feared that we would never see Tales of Graces on U.S. soil. It has been three years since the Japanese Wii release and two years since the release of the enhanced PS3 port, Tales of Graces f. Though it looked unlikely, Namco Bandai announced last year that we in the U.S. would officially be getting Tales of Graces f and that we would be getting the best possible version of the game. Tales of Graces f may not be on the radar of many gamers, but people interested in the JRPG genre should definitely look out for this.
