Joes (Yeah, I mixed the two together, don’t judge) and when it got to a point where they would battle, a friend and I would turn on Combat...

I am hoping, with the resurrection of such classic games such as Kid Icarus: Uprising and Myst, that the title will be released for the 3DS, or maybe even the Wii U.  It w...

No release date yet, but most talk centers around the company’s decision to include its recent feature film Tekken: Blood Vengeance on the cartridge in full 3D. As a guy who enjoys Tekken and loves 3D movies (well, good movies that happen to be in 3D), I’m suddenly interested...

Pandora’s Tower, first look

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WUk7q5rJKw&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] When Pandora’s Tower was first announced back in February, details about the title were…well we didn’t have any. Now we have video! There are still no details on exactly what type of game Pandora’s Tower will be, but my guess is that it will be of the hack and slack, Devil May Cry-ish...

Tales of Innocence getting a Fan Translation

It seems that there is another fan translation hitting the scene, although it will probably be a year or two before it comes to fruition. As with most fan translations it is really about respect for the developer of the game. As the fans just want to enjoy a game that probably will never come out in their area. Even if they get a C&D they will respect the developers wishes. However, as of late...
