TGS: DmC: Devil May Cry gets an unpopular trailer

The above trailer currently has 609 dislikes compared to 370 likes on Youtube. Something tells me that, two years later, people are still sore. That DmC just can't catch a break with fans.  I'm still pretty pumped, myse...   more

TGS: And suddenly, strippers!

It was the last hour of press day at Tokyo Game Show. I just got finished playing Sonic Generations 3DS and was on my way out of the convention center when I came across this. No explanation, no warning -- just strippers. So what were they promoting at that booth? I have no idea. There were no games at the booth so I always just kept walking right past it. In any case, I have the best luck ever!   more

After the first long TGS work day were thrown on a bus, driven to the bay, put on a boat, and taken out to sea. Our mission? To play the PlayStation Vita. Too bad we didn't do that. It just didn't work out. Still, we had a g...   more

Rounding out the Dark Souls prologue series is the final clip, though for the sake of convenience, Namco Bandai has simply thrown them all together into one video.

Feast on these (tardy) Zelda: Skyward Sword videos

We f*cked up royally. A bunch of incredible new Skyward Sword videos came out a few days ago, but we failed to post any of them. Chances are you've seen some of these by now, but if you haven't, I'll cut to the chase. The ab...   more

Ninja Theory's DmC gets trailer, gives Dante white hair

A new trailer for Ninja Theory's controversial DmC has been released, and it gives Dante white hair ... sort of. It seems that our gunslinging hero gets a snowy dome when he enters a particular gameplay mode, as evidenced by...   more

Devil's Third E3 trailer says game is playable at TGS

El Shaddai video and screens will Bible you in your face

I'm really looking forward to El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. Cel-shaded beat 'em ups based on obscure Biblical books aren't games that you get to see every day, so I've got high expectations for this bizarre little title.  Here's a trailer and some screenshots for the Ignition-published title. Does it look hot to you? It looks bloody hot to us!   more

'New' NES game Battle Kid spotted in local Tokyo shops

TGS: Nikudan is bar fighting for the lazy
