LocoRoco Christmas demo coming soon for PSP
Mark your calendars, LocoRoco fans, because the official Japanese Sony site has announced a new incoming LocoRoco demo out for December 13. From the looks of the screenshots it will be Christmas-themed, complete with snowy levels and a Santa blob. Good timing for SCE Japan too, since just last Christmas they released their first demo […]
Beats makes its debut at the Playstation Store
Looks like I’ll finally have a reason to sign up for the Playstation Store. Beats is a much-anticipated game developed by the London studio of SCEE, and has already been available at the Playstation Store for a day now for a generous price of $4.99. It’s a rhythm action game which draws inspiration from […]
PSO Portable new screenshots and multiplayer details
Sega has released new screens for Phantasy Star Online Portable, which is confirmed to be a re-packaging of the Phantasy Star Universe games, with new features. Four-player ad-hoc mode is possible, but Sega hasn’t given any indication that there will be online networked play. Maybe a big letdown for the PSO series and its fans, […]

The second in a three-part remake set of the Dragon Quest series has a tentative release date. Dragon Quest V - Tenkuu no Hanayom, or Bride of Heaven, is planned for release in Spring of 2008.

Seizure-inducing Rabbids could mean tighter guidelines for Ubisoft, other publishers
Usually, reading the health & safety precaution booklet available with every new game would suffice, but even if you are well aware of the risks of seizure from playing video games, it’s still not a sure act of preventing them. Unfortunately for one child in the UK, this was the case. PocketGamer reports that his […]

Nintendo DS is taking up nearly half the Japan sales charts. Dragon Quest and Mario Party DS are still holding strong. In non-portable news, Wii Fit has made a smash on its first week, and Assassin’s Creed making a surprising hit as well, considering this is an Xbox 360 release. Also, a PSP game, Disgaea […]
New screens of The Zombie Crush
Previously on the DS, we’ve gotten the chance to Touch The Dead. Now Japan will have their first near-zombie experience with Simple DS Series vol. 32: The Zombie Crush. Impress Watch Japan has a new set of screenshots revealed today. In the similar style of Touch The Dead, you get to poke zombies on […]

The good folks over at NeoGAF have just given out this week’s news and reviews for Famitsu Magazine. Along with it is the small bit of information that confirms that Sega is indeed making a handheld Phantasy Star game, currently titled Phantasy Star Portable. Release details are scant, and the date of launch is not […]
DS weekly launch games - December 4
Not much new for the DS this week, and it looks that way for the following weeks up to the new year. But this isn’t surprising since the heavy hitters came out just a few weeks ago in November. But there’s still a few interesting games that are worth considering to get. Here are the […]
