Ghost Trick is a game about a man named Sissel. He has the unique power of rewinding time 4 minutes before someone dies. However, he himself ended up dead, and his power doesn’t work on himself.

Ghost Trick is a very stylized puzzle game that takes a simple element of interacting with inanimate objects and adds a very interesting spin of using them to interact with others. Of course, since you are a ghost possessing objects, you can only startle or shock them into acting the way you want them too.

Now it is up to you to solve the mystery surrounding your own death while protecting other people who are being targeted by a dark mysterious assassin. However, there is a problem, you only have until dawn to do that, as it is a race against time. A very unique and interesting game.

Sin and Punishment 2 Star Successor hits June 27th and brings that ‘bullet hell’ game play to the Wii. While the characters Isa or Kachi are the successors to Saki and his gang of characters, you will notice a lot of similarities between the original game and the sequel. Such as the player traverses through on-rail levels, moving and shooting independently.

While Sin and Punishment 2 might be overshadowed by E3 and Other M, it’s still a great game and worth taking a look at. Are you excited for Sin and Punishment 2?

In a recent interview with GamesBeat, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata mentioned that while he couldn’t divulge pricing at this time, the Nintendo 3DS would not be sold at a loss to Nintendo.

From the interview:

SI: I have to refrain from talking specifically about the price point. What I can confirm is that, in terms of the production costs, it will cost more than the costs for the Nintendo DS today. Having said that, we believe we will produce enough value worthy of the production cost. We do not think we have to sell the products below cost.

This mirrors Nintendo’s pricing with the Wii, which launched as the only home console at the time to turn profit on hardware sales.

When the Kid Icarus trailer aired live at the Nintendo Press Conference at E3 I was literally in shock. The fact that the 3DS’s output is almost if not better than the Wii’s own graphical power is nothing short of amazing. However, the fact that the hand held system does 3D as well what makes it even more amazing. While watching the trailer I want you to try and picture laser fire, and gun shots propelling towards your face. If you can picture that you’ll understand a little bit more on how the 3D actually works.

However, I have to ask, Is this the Kid Icarus game you have been waiting for? Cause I really want to know.

On Day 3 of E3, Roger of (VGtribune) and myself had the opportunity to interview one of the fathers of gaming, Yuji Naka. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Yuji Naka he is the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, and has worked on many flagship Sega titles such as Nights into Dreams, Burning Rangers, and Phantasy Star Online. During the private demo we were able to learn a lot about Ivy the Kiwi such as the unique powers of the “ivy” that helps “Ivy the Kiwi?” reach areas in the game.

It was a pleasure to meet the highly-acclaimed Yuji Naka with his translator Jimmy Soga from XSEED JKS, Inc. Once you’ve watched the demo of Ivy the Kiwi? above, hit the jump for our interview of Sonic’s creator, Yuji Naka.

You may be familiar with that quirky Japanese TV show, known as Pokémon Sunday, where they reveal upcoming information on various Pokémon games. In this short episode, new Pokémon are revealed along with various item, status, and shop screens.

Pokémon White and Black seem to be changing a lot of the various elements as well as the graphical interface of the older games. What are your thoughts on that Infendo?

In the latest Professor Layton game… a future version of Luke Triton writes Professor Hershel Layton a letter from 10 years in the future asking him for help. “How is that possible!?” Is a question a lot of people were asking, well the answer is a time machine! The story of Unwound Future, revolves around the creation of a Time Machine and the effects it has had on London. While not much is known about the actual story of the game… You can expect more amazing puzzles than you can throw a matchstick at!

First day buy for anyone?

Despite impressive tech demos at last year’s E3, Microsoft’s recently re-branded “Kinect” and Sony’s Playstation Move controller felt more dated than the “underpowered” Nintendo console they are trying to out-motion. What do we mean by dated? Obviously this has nothing to do with graphical capability or processing power – something on which both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have a marked advantage over the Wii – but implementation. Playing Kinect and Move feel like playing the Wii 4 years ago.
