“Digimon Story: Cyber Truth” Revealed For PS Vita

An announcement regarding Digimon was teased early last week and it seems as though we’ve finally gotten the news, I know a lot of you Digimon fans have been hankering for some sweet new Digimon-related news and here it is: V-Jump Magazine have revealed that a brand-new Digimon game titled “Digimon Story: Cyber Truth” is in the works and will be released on the PS-Vita. Nothing in-depth about this game has come to the surface as of yet though what we do know is that it will be a training RPG, much like almost every other Digimon game, and will take place in Japan in the near future.

The game is also said to feature some real world locations from around Japan which is very suiting considering this seems to be a title that is a Japan-exclusive. There are no images nor footage of the game in action but the first trailer is said to première this weekend at the big Jump Festa event so keep an eye out on the site for that one. The game is slated for a 2015 release and I can guarantee we’ll be hearing a lot about the game in the coming year so stick around.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution – Mecha Naruto Revealed

Naruto-Shippuden-Ultimate-Ninja-Storm-Generation-Mecha-Naruto-01 — **– Click For Larger Image –**

A couple weeks ago, at this point in time, Namco Bandai Games released news of a brand-new Naruto game to be released on the PlayStation 3 sometime in the coming year; Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution. What came with that news was the image of two odd-looking silhouettes that, while closely resembling that of the star character Naruto, no body really knew exactly who are what the character could possibly be. I, for one, speculated that it was some type of “dummy” character, I never actually expected it to be as cool and crazy as this: A Robot Naruto.

The new character was just revealed and it has actually made me excited for the next title in the Naruto game franchise. It seems as though the character, like most other characters in the series, has an awakened form where they’re a great deal more powerful and act as some bad news for your opponent.

The awakened version of this Naruto is a 3-tailed version of the Kyubi-Naruto that we’ve all seen in every game so far and throughout the series, the final transformation is a huge Mecha-Kurama that seems as though it would be more suited in a generation of Digimon than that of a Naruto game. All in all this character is looking fantastic and I bet it’s given a lot of Naruto fans just another reason to buy this Naruto game.

Ace of Diamond Episode 9 Impressions

Ace Of Diamond
Episode 9 – With Chagrin in His Heart

There is an air of change in this episode of Ace of Diamond. With the truth of Chris now revealed, Eijun sees him in an entirely different light. On the flip side of that, Chris begins to open up to Eijun and even start pushing him in the right direction. With that, it looks like our diamond in the rough is in good hands with Chris, as Furuya looked to be with Miyuki. However while both Eijun and Furuya have risen to great heights, we now see them fall to great lows.

In baseball an ace must have something special about them, something that unites the whole team under their power. When Chris gets Eijun to pitch to him, he tells him that Furuya’s strength is his power and that Tanba’s power lies in his control. He leaves Eijun with something to ponder, what exactly is his strength? What is Eijun’s ace ability?

This is a critical component of the game that Eijun has really overlooked thus far. He needs something that sets himself apart from the other pitchers, but he still remains a diamond in the rough, not yet ready to shine. Furuya on the other hand is clearly shining already, however he is a diamond on the verge of breaking. He continues to push himself too hard and Coach Kataoka bans him for two weeks, exiling him to the second string until he can learn to take care of himself. Here we see both Eijun and Furuya hitting rock bottom. Both are once again on the same level, both down and out, both looking to rise up to the first string.

One of the things that has been rather interesting about Ace of Diamond is that we have yet to see any matches of significance outside of Seidou Academy. After 9 episodes, there hasn’t been any rival teams for Seidou to tackle, rather the rivalry has been thoroughly ingrained into the psyche of the team members themselves. Spots in the first string are something to die for at Seidou and it seems that for the mean time we will be focusing on the inner workings of Seidou and its team.

This is of course a brilliant decision by the original mangaka because it allows us to explore the team dynamics and understand the philosophy of these players and the goals they each individually hold. It makes it all the more important when they finally enter a tournament stage and begin facing against real opponents. By that point the characters and team of Seidou will be more than well-developed and the stakes will be higher and tensions felt strongly.

As far as Ace of Diamond goes, it is a special breed of sports anime through and through. Instead of being a match of the week style sports anime, we are instead witnessing a series about the things that go on behind the scenes of the games, the things that these players struggle with off the field and it is nothing short of compelling. Characters like Chris are highly realistic and his struggle in particular is one that many sportsmen have had to face over the years. It is this sense of realism that underpins Ace of Diamond that really makes it something special.

This isn’t your normal sports anime and this episode is proof of that. What other sports anime out their would do an episode like this? We see both of our rookies reach great heights and fall to great lows in one episode. There isn’t another sports anime out there that would be able to pull that off without feeling disjointed, but Ace of Diamond is just rapid fire energy and so much can happen in the span of 23 minutes that you’ll feel like waiting 7 days for another hit is justified. That is what makes Ace of Diamond so damn good.

Nintendo Teases New Wii U Zelda Game with Hyrule Warriors

With the release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Review) last month it is time to look on the horizon for what the future of Zelda. Luckily, at the last Nintendo Direct they did give a nice little teaser for what players can expect for the next title Hyrule Warriors.

From what they showed in the teaser there seems to be a few new elements in terms of the combat, as Link goes flipping about with sword and even staff. Though it is difficult to tell if the game will be mainly combat centric or if they were just trying to show off. Plus, will it be more than just Link? With a name like Hyrule Warriors it would make sense for it to be, but as the name is not final it is up in the air.

Those wanting to see the first glimpse of the Wii U exclusive Hyrule Warriors, can find the teaser embedded below. Be sure to voice your opinion of what you think based on what they shown off so far in the comments below as well.

SHADOW WARRIOR ADDS WANGTASTIC SURVIVAL MODE, RISE OF THE TRIAD EXCALIBAT

– More Wang Just In Time for the Holidays –

Austin, Texas – After intense negotiations between developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital’s shadowy Future Profits Division, the katana-filled and blood-soaked Shadow Warrior has been updated with an all-new and absolutely free Survival Mode. Budding katana masters will be able to slice, shoot, and crash through an incredible onslaught of raging enemies in three custom-built battle arenas in the game’s latest update.

Not content with just one super sweet update, Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital have partnered with Interceptor Entertainment and Apogee Software to bring some crossover magic to both Shadow Warrior and Rise of the Triad. Starting today, gamers will be able to use Rise of the Triad’s Excalibat as an alternative katana in Shadow Warrior and in turn step in to the shoes of Shadow Warrior’s Lo Wang in Rise of the Triad’s insane multiplayer modes.

“Enjoy the free content, nerds,” remarked Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Don’t forget my holiday cheer and festive giving of free stuff next year when I jack up prices on some face-melting indie games.”

Shadow Warrior is now available on Steam, GOG, and Humble Store and will be discounted to varying degrees of insanity all holiday season. For more information on Shadow Warrior follow @_ShadowWarrior on Twitter or visit www.shadowwarrior.com.

Put the beers in the fridge, the Zombies are coming soon Zombeer has got the Greenlight

Barcelona (Spain) – December 18, 2013 – Moonbite, a European games and animation studio based in Spain, announced today that its first-person-survival-horror-comedy-shooter Zombeer got the Greenlight on Steam and will be released in early 2014 on PS3, PC and Mac. Thank you fans from all over the world!

The group Motorzombies created a song and a videoclip for the game! Watch it now on:

http://youtu.be/C7KU-4fhcGE

Motorzombis arise from their graves in 2005 seeding evil wherever their terrifying melodies sound . Their blend of Horror-Punk, Rockabilly and Hard Rock from the eighties leads to a strong and eclectic Psychobilly, full of references with “spanish” aftertaste.

Dude, I love beers and I want to kill Zombies. Can I be a part of it?

Hell yeah! Zombeer has been created by fans of the comedy horror culture and we really want to reward our fans for their continuous support during the development of the game. Without such an amazing community we would have never been able to release the game we wanted. While we just got the Greenlight we are now developing a tool to get all of our fans into the game. When you will frag a Zombie in Zombeer, a Tomb with a fan name on it will be popping up so you know the name of the fan you just killed.

You can still be in the final game on PC! Just fill in the form and start eating brains!

ELSWORD SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST: INTRODUCING THE FIRST NEW CHARACTER IN 2013

New Character Ara Haan Pierces Her Way Into Elsword In The Most Celebrated Release Of The Year

Irvine, Calif., December 18, 2013—The hit free-to-play action MMORPG, Elsword, today introduces its first new character in more than a year, the spear wielding martial artist, Ara Haan. In the most celebrated content update of the year, players can now take on the role of Ara Haan, the seventh playable character in Elsword, beginning today.

“We are thrilled at the level of excitement Elsword fans have shown with the anticipation of Ara Haan’s arrival,” Eugene Kim, CEO of KOG Games. “Since her debut in Korea, Elsword players have been clamoring for more news on when she will be arriving and we are excited to finally deliver.”

Ara Haan, a spear-wielding martial artist, comes to the world of Elsword with an all-new fighting style that differs from any other current characters. Inspired by ancient warriors of the Far East and a bevy of martial arts movies, both traditional and a little quirky, her extremely quick and powerful skill set brings a whole new dimension to the Elsword world.

Ara’s new combat style brings a completely new dynamic to Solo, Co-Op and Player vs. Player gameplay. As a lightning fast, close-quarter combo master, Ara can chain together any number of combat skills to offer a punishing array of huge combos, effects and interrupts.

With the help of a mystical nine-tailed fox, Ara barely escapes when a demonic onslaught assaults her village, but the village, as well as her family perishes. The mysterious fox, Eun agrees to help Ara solve the mystery of the demon horde attack in exchange for Ara’s help in unlocking the magic pin that has trapped Eun’s very essence for centuries. Ara accepts, and begins unraveling an epic storyline all her own.

For a limited time, players that complete the new Ara specific quests will receive great Ara themed prizes. To play Elsword for free please visit ElswordOnline.com and keep watching the official Facebook page here. For more Elsword information and assets please visit our press kit here.

In Elsword, gamers can choose from seven specialized and customizable characters as they explore an immersive world and battle rivals to complete dynamic quests. As players progress through the game, they can evolve their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes, learning deadly new abilities and mastering combo attacks. With intuitive and straightforward controls, Elsword offers players of all skill levels the ability to experience the thrill of victory in combat either on solo missions or cooperatively in a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also delivers action-packed PvP combat.
