The titles include The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, A Little Princess, Pollyanna, and The Princess and the Goblin.

Death Mark Revealed for the PS Vita by Experience

Experience has officially revealed their new PS Vita game which is something of a departure from their usual games as the company is known for developing first-person dungeon crawlers but this time around they are going for a horror game. The visual novel style horror game is called Death Mark and through Famitsu we get our first info about the dark game. In Death Mark, those who are given the “mark” always end up dying and after rumors begin to start in the Tokyo Metropolitan H City a mysterious death related to this mark occurs.

This “mark” suddenly appears on someone’s body out of nowhere and without any explanation of how these “marks” appear those who possess it are invited to a strange mansion and the player character just so happens to be one of them. When you arrive at this mansion a strange but beautiful doll speaks to you, stating that you have arrived at Kujo Mansion and that the path will lead you to death, “However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to be saved.”

Horizon Zero Dawn Story Trailer Released

A new trailer for one of PlayStation 4‘s most anticipated games of the year, Horizon Zero Dawn has been released. This trailer focuses more on the story aspects of the game showing off some new locations and enemies as well as what appears to be the games major antagonist. Of course the trailer kept it short and vague but it’s clear to see the masked warriors responsible for raising the machines will make up the human threat alongside all the different robo-dinos.

The official Sony blog mentions the game takes place in a post-post-apocalyptic world which is certainly an interesting setting, even if that wording makes the concept sound redundant. You can check out the new trailer for yourself below and let us know what you think of it in the comments, personally this is easily my most anticipated new IP of 2017. The full game releases on February 28th in North America and March 1st in Europe and Oceania. It is possible the UK release may be pushed back to March 3rd as per the current PS Store listing for the region, but we think this may be a case of error as March 3rd was the previous release date. You can read our hands-on preview of the game by following the link.
