09.16.11

The Tokyo Game Show is still happening overseas this week, with plenty of new projects being revealed and some tantalizing information being shown off for previously announced games.  Buried somewhere in this news is the revival of Team Andromeda, the folks that produced the Panzer Dragoon games for Sega.  Most of the team has reformed and is working on a new project that definitely has the Dragoon flavor behind it, but there's  a catch -- this time you're playing with Kinect motion controls.

The Tokyo Game Show is in full swing, and a number of announcements have already been making the rounds.  Among them is one from Square Enix, as the company is bringing back one of its most popular role-playing games for both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, in high definition format.  That game of choice is Final Fantasy X, and while it's nice to see it make a come back, we have this sinking feeling that Square could've gone with a better, more popular choice.  And you can probably guess what it is.

It's hard to not be curious about Beyond the Labyrinth. Even with in-game cutscenes it's almost impossible to figure out just what it is. It's gorgeous, both visually and audibly, but beyond that is anyone's guess. The game's new trailer, viewable below, doesn't tell us much new. It feature's a young girl, and implies that the game is told through a first-person camera view. Ultimately, though, the trailer raises more questions than answers.
