It's been speculated for a little bit but finally some news has broken as to the future of Atlus . Neoseeker is reporting that parent company Index Holdings is planning to merge Atlus (which is 100% owned) and mobile game maker Index Corporations (95% owned) together to strengthen the brand. They have gone on to confirm that games currently announced by Atlus will continue to operate just as th...
I am a born and raised Pittsburgher and die hard Pens fan. Unlike most people on the internet I am not writing this to bitch and moan. Congratulations. You sure as hell earned the win tonight. You outplayed us physically and beat us to the puck consistently. The only thing I ask of you is that you make it to the finals now. I haven't heard what happened in the Boston/Philly game but I hate the...
Year of the Black Rainbow is the 5th album from Coheed & Cambria and unlike the previous cd's does not continue the sci-fi story of Claudio Kilgannon. Instead this album is a prequel to everything they have done before and comes with a very distinct shift in tone from what fans have become accustomed too. To try and pin down the difference in its simplest form would be to say that musically it...
Pretty much just writing this for the quests... anyone find it ironic that this quest system draws us away from trophies and achievements on the actual systems? It's all Jeff;s plan to ascend the rankings I say...
So the patch for the fan translation of Fatal Frame 4 has finally released. For those of you who have some trepidation about importing the game in the event of a broken patch or shoddy workmanship, let me assuage your fears. As you can see here we start with one retail copy of Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. This must be an original Japanese disc, the patch does not work with burned...
Sweet Jesus, I have it. Actually it's about a month late but I'm still itching to play it. My friend studied abroad and brought me back a copy of Fatal Frame 4 for the Wii, which as many of you probably know (especially if you clicked into this post) is never coming to America. Thankfully it looks like the patch is going to be out soon that'll translate into English and supposedly break the reg...
After logging a bit of time into the MAG Beta I've come away with pretty good impression of it. Very different feel from the CoD or MW style of play and much more akin to Zipper's Socom formula. The controls have been very easy to use and the interface is pretty simple. Shooting mapped to R1, aiming to L1. R2 for primary grenades and L2 for secondary grenade/ gadgets. These can obviously be twe...
We've all heard tons of times by now that the PS3 version of Bayonetta is "broken" and "inferior" to the XBox version. While I can attest to the fact that the game is a step back and a down grade it is still one hell of a good time. As far as the frame rate issues are concerned I have yet to really encounter any slow down in terms of the gameplay while in the midst of a fight or exploring. Ther...
I do buy downloadable games. Not a ton of them but there have just been some gems coming through the works in this past year that I can't pass up. Right now the main one being Fat Princess. I used to be a TF2 junky and am currently reliving that with FP.
After going into work the other day and seeing the Sony Rep change the demo disc in the PS3 I decided to check out what was on it. Pleasantly surprised to find that there was a demo for Arkham Asylum on there I leapt in immediately. There are two playable sections in the demo. To be fair I have only played the first of the two which is solely focused on the combat in the game. To be honest, it'...
Hmm, seeing as to how I haven't done much but comment on videos since last duing the Kazuma Kaneko page, I figured I'd just put this out there. The last few weeks have given me good news and still a lack of any news. First off is my continued irritation at the lack of any US release of Fatal Frame 4 for the Wii. It's been out in Japan for about 3/4 of a year and is releasing in EU relatively so...
While watching my weekly dose of Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi I happened to see a commercial for one of their new original reality shows called CHA$E. From the commercial it looks as though the basic premise is to set a free runner loose in an urban environment with people trying to catch them. Presumably this means escape and win the money. What really caught my eye though were two things. First is...
In a new post over at cameraslens.com more information about the situation regarding the US release of Fatal Frame 4 for the Wii has somewhat been revealed. Reggie Fils-Aime has been quoted with a couple mixed messages from a "We'll see" type response to "We have to talk to the publisher". Ironically in Japan the game was published by Nintendo Japan meaning they must talk to themselves essentia...
For those of you who aren't members of the Atlus Faithful (Atlus's fanclub newsletter) then you may want to run over to Amazon.com and check the new bundle of swag being offered. Contained within this bundle are a Teddie Plushie, a "Konohana Sakuya" T-shirt, the "Side-B" soundtrack (only available through this bundle), and a 2009 calendar. The Plushie is over 8 inches tall and looks to be the s...
This has been bugging me for quite some time and the silence is growing larger by the day. While it never made much noise when compared to Resident Evil or Silent Hill, Fatal Frame has quietly been one of the most reverred survival horror franchises ever. From the insanely difficult debut to the beautifully tragic Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, as well as the last and very under rated Fatal...
We all know that this season, video games are going to be released left and right at a high premium. A lot of triple-A titles are being released and it will be very difficult to keep track of. From LittleBigPlanet to Fallout 3; from Resistance 2 to Gears of War 2; the season is going to be a massive money maker. Even those of us on the underground and "niche" game market seem to have our hands...
Not sure how many of you remember, but last year at some point Brash entertainment acquired the game licensing to the SAW movie franchise. I recall reading that info and thinking two things: 1) That could be really cool 2) That could really suck .... I know, how poinient of me. But then all the hoopla about the ESRB got me thinking. Maybe a SAW game could be just what the industry needs to get...
