The eternal life question of “what a girl wants?”, as answered by the purple-haired lady genie exotically named Shantae, is to kick pirate booty and restore order in a quaint little 2-D circular-designed world. It also means that when you’re given an hourglass figure that the entire contestants of those goddamn top model shows would sacrifice a newborn or two for, you exploit it via the sensual art of the belly-dance. Only in this case, dancing lets you to turn into a menagerie of animals to help solve conveniently-placed puzzles blocking your path.

From now until the end of the year is looking pretty good for gamers, and the PC is no exception. Crysis, which will be hitting the shelves November 16th, is looking better than ever.

From what we’ve been told, the story is a bit different now. No longer is a meteor crashing into the earth, but North Korea and America are still finding things to fight over. Now, you find a alien ship that has been enclosed in the mountains since the ice age, and presumably N.K. and the US get into a pissing match over it. Lulz ensure, and of course the standard alien plot to take over the world, in which you must thwart using your advanced nano-suit. And of course, loads and loads of explosives. The alien menace still utilizes world-freezing technology, which makes for a very interesting game environment, regardless of what it used to be prior to being frozen. With all this and more, November can’t come soon enough for us PC gamers.

Excuse me while I go throw up out of excitement.

Now, we all know Pentavision for their Korean hit rhythm games for the PC DJMax and and DJMax Portable for the PSP, (which is by the way, the greatest thing since sliced bread) but what about shooters? And Stylish eSper Shooting Sports for that matter? Well, we will soon find out. Pentavision has announced S4 League for PC and S4 portable for PSP. What we know now, it will be a third person shooter with team based elements and online based gameplay. Also, as they have announced many of the artists we know and love that made the soundtrack for DJMAx, will be making the music for this game, I’m willing to bet music will play *some* part in the gameplay. This IS Pentavision we are talking about. In either case, with the level of polish this team turns out, you have to be excited for them to turn open a new genre and step outside their normal game boundaries.

Today, July 6, 2007, Sega of America announced that the developer Gas Powered Games will be working on a sequel of sorts to their hit action-RPG Dungeon Siege. What we know so far, the human race has been under attack by aliens, and you are on one of the few remaining life boats (space ships) of humanity, the “Armstrong”. You are Seth Walker, a cybernetics engineer who gets stick right in the middle of humanities fight for survival. One of the main game mechanics will be the cybernetic implants that you can use to augment your skills. Deus Ex meets Diablo? Well, we will see.  But I’m certainly excited, anything the developer of Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, and Supreme Commander, Chris Taylor, turns out these days should at least garner your attention during the development process.

Starcraft Ghost, the oh so hyped Starcraft game, the game I once saw in a booth two years ago at and though “oh wow that looks complete”, was “postponed” early last year. Blizzard wanted to evaluate the potential of next-gen consoles. Hey, maybe that was going to be a good thing, a better game. A year and a half later we finally get word that Blizzard still has the game in mind, as Blizzard’s Rob Pardo said:

“With that game we were very stubborn. I still believe in that game and the characters but we were not able to execute at the level we wanted to…Rather than work on that we had to focus on our other games. We’re hoping one day to return to it.”

Then again, this doesn’t mean much, if the game concept were to be resurrected it would have to be a whole new project, starting from scratch. Much like Duke Nukem Forever, and we all know how that’s going.

Well, hello there! Long time no see, anime review! I plan to get you up to date more often from now on!

*Ahem*…I didn’t think I would almost forget one awesome series that made me have some affection for Mecha series (I watched the first 2 eps of Gundam Wing. . .sorry). Along with pretty catchy electronic music and rememberable characters(well. . . kinda), this anime has a pretty interesting plot. Come and see why you should watch it!

So, the new season of anime has started, and obviously, before the any of the series’ even began we all picked our favourites. When looking through a list of what was going to be on show, I noticed a peculiar title: “Venus Versus Virus.” Which included a picture of what looked to be very promising. I mean, psuedo-lolis, gothic lolita, guns, demon ass-kicking, a hint of lesbianism; hell, one of the main characters even has heterochromia (all the rage these days!). What could possibly go wrong? Oh reality, why do you treat me so.

Celebrating Christmas I specially thought of a romantic, lovey-dovey anime series for all of you to read about. . . NOT!

Elfen Lied’s the name, and I conceive it as one of the first, if not THE first anime series to feature great quantities of blood and gore being directed to the main public. So come now, enjoy yor Turkey, Ham, Chicken, or Hot-dog and check this out!

As a moderate Mortal Kombat fan, ever since I got MK:Deception ( 6 for the ones who actually count the series) I was astonished by the fairly long intro video showing some characters babbling some spells and wiggling their arms in all ways possible, attempting to hit the adversary, the story mode with crap dubbing, and the weird 3-style figthing.

Now with their new installment, MK: Armaggedon, they return, and with a surprise everyone was waiting for: ALL MK characters will be in it!

On a side note: Is that a Mayan temple in the background?!

I hope they get all 3 sub-zeros in action. Ha! Take that, timelines!

Ahaha, its so sweet when a company slips and releases info it didn’t mean to. Ubisoft confirmed today that a Prince of Persia game is, indeed, in the works for the Nintendo Wii. Rumors were abundant last week when a french press release leaked the news.

As for a release date or any other information, well we get the ol’ PR talk. “At this time we can not provide an official date for the game or any additional information about it”. Oh well, we can live with that! What really has been bothering us about this is where exactly in the timeline will this game exist? The latest Prince of Persia game The Two Thrones wrapped things up real good. I guess they can always go the way of Zelda or Final Fantasy and leave continuity for lesser games.
