Today’s the day that Bayonetta hits the shelves in the UK. On schedule SEGA Europe have posted the official launch trailer. Its easy to see why fan sites such as Geek Native are frothing over the game. Doesn’t it look good? Wonder if the game play is as excellent.
No more Final Fantasy?
There may be no more Final Fantasy, not as we know the series, after Final Fantasy XII. After having already publicly discussed taking development of the next Final Fantasy away from Japan and giving it to Western developers Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada says the whole series needs something new. Once again we can turn […]
Lengthy Ar Tonelico III trailer hits the web
This is an awfully long – 4:30 plus – trailer for the forthcoming JRPG Ar Tonelico. It’s also quite loud so I’d nudge your volume downwards. The trailer shows off glimpses of most aspects of the game; the cut-scenes, costumes, battle stances, attacks and even wandering around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmxD5zxpvvE
Square Enix to offshore Final Fantasy XIV to Western developers?
As the West prepares for Final Fantasy XIII there are some early hints that any sequel to the game might not come from Square Enix’s Japanese developers. The Final Fantasy series is seen as the archetypal JRPG so this will come as a shock to many. Square Enix’s President, Yoichi Wade, suggested to Edge magazine […]

DJ Hero 2 on the way
Did you buy DJ Hero? Disappointed with it? You would have thought that Acitivision would have been disappointing with the cooler-than-luke-warm sales for the hardware/software game combo but it has all but been confirmed there’s a sequel coming. We know because DJ David Guetta told Candian press that he’s working on the second game. “I […]
Capcom on Wii retreat
Yesterday I found myself speculating about odd developments around Monster Hunter 3. Capcom had strangely handed distribution rights for the game over to Nintendo themselves. Just this morning there’s more light on the situation. Looks like Capcom may be backing off from the Wii after a disappointing run with Resident Evil and other “mature titles”. […]
Capcom surrenders Monster Hunter 3 to Nintendo in Europe
The good news is that the most successful third party Wii game ever will come to Europe. It’ll come to Europe, perhaps, before we’re halfway through 2010. The interesting twist in the tail is that Capcom will be getting Nintendo to distribute Monster Hunter 3. Why? Not sure! I had time to quickly discuss this […]
Jumping loop bug in Final Fantasy XIII
There are so many mixed signals about Final Fantasy XIII. My head’s starting to spin. First off the game got glowing reviews – perfect, near perfect. Then game players start to grumble. Turns out that the game, although large and long, is awfully linear. You get lots of cut scenes and lots to look at […]
4 European trailers for Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll
We are the third region. While the US and Japan battle it out to see who gets the best trailers for any given game – there’s also Europe. Often we’re left behind. Sometimes we get a cut that’s better than the others. Mind you; sometimes we get the same as the Americans because we speak […]
