Ever since Kakashi’s first appearance, both on the page and on-screen, he has been a fan favourite that has also been in a constant cloud of mystery, some would say that half of Kakashi’s appeal as a character is brought out more by what you DON’T know about him than what you DO know about him and I’d have to agree entirely. Fans of both Naruto Shippuden and the character of Kakashi will be pleased to know that a new Naruto Anime special as been announced and it is to focus on Kakashi’s past. It is titled; “Kakashi Anbu Chapter – The Shinobi Who Lives In The Shadows and will”, obviously, revolve around his time in the Anbu Corps. Anbu, for those of you who don’t know, are basically the Naruto world’s version of a highly-trained and incredibly deadly Black Ops unit.

ooked upon member before he decided to change paths and become what is basically a teacher. Throughout most of the series he serves as the Team 7 (Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura) leader and is present in almost every crucial moment throughout the story. Other characters to appear in the special will be Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Yamato, Itachi Uchiha and plenty more. We’ll be diving into the rich history of Hidden Leaf Village alongside it’s most elite soldiers, it’s really not a special any fan of Naruto is going to want to miss. The special is set to begin airing on the 6th of February next year, obviously there’s no talks of any localisation because it was only just announced in Japan but, seeing as it’s Naruto, I’m sure we’ll be seeing it on our shores sooner or later.

Broken Sword 5- The Serpent’s Curse Now Available

Broken Sword is returning to its point and click roots with the fifth entry in the series, The Serpent’s Curse. Recent entries had strayed away from the traditional point and click set up in favour of more action elements, but Revolution Software is hoping that the series is going to make a triumphant return thanks to a team of developers including talent from the original Broken Sword team.

“This has been a labour of love not just for us here at Revolution but the entire Broken Sword community too. We have been privileged to be able to make the game we’ve wanted to thanks to the generous support of our Kickstarter supporters, who really have given us the freedom to take the series to new heights.”
Charles Cecil, founder of Revolution Software.

The Serpent’s Curse casts players as “intrepid American” George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard, who set off to find a stolen painting but find themselves amidst a much darker conspiracy. After witnessing the theft of the seemingly worthless art from a Parisian art gallery, the two find themselves on a globe trotting adventure centered around the Gnostic Gospels, a relic that mystery fans who have ever perused a bit of Dan Brown will be well aware of.

The game has been split into two episodes, with the second part set for release in the first quarter of 2014. It won’t be a separate purchase however, coming instead in the form of a free update to Episode One. The first part of Serpent’s Curse is available on PC, Mac, and Linux now, and can be found on Steam and GOG.com – currently sitting at a discounted price of $19.99. Releases on other platforms should follow shortly, with the PlayStation Vita version first up, followed by iOS and Android editions in the new year.

Well, they’ve got you covered in that respect as well, as today they also released a new video exploring the world of the Fables comics and game. It does a good job giving the low down on the world itself and the main character Bigby Wolf, also known as the Big Bad Wolf.

With the official Western debut of Bravely Default just days away now on the Nintendo 3DS, the Japanese are moving on to bigger things as the existence of the sequel, titled Bravely Second, has just been confirmed by a magazine scan.

So far there’s some artwork showing off an area and one of the characters by the name of Magnolia, and there’s also a glimpse of an in-game character model which looks pretty similar to the style of the first game.

Let’s not ask questions about localization plans now, the fact that we’re even getting the first game here is a miracle in of itself. Still, it’s good news that the IP has taken off so well.

We will keep you posted on any developments regarding Bravely Second, but more importantly look forward to our Bravely Default review soon!
