We have some great news for fans of the Corpse Party series. Today it was announced at Famitsu.com that a brand new Corpse Party game, called Corpse Party: Blood Drive, is going to be released on the PlayStation Vita in Japan sometime this year.

Famitsu is reporting that Blood Drive will continue the story from Chapter 8 of Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, which coincidentally is also called Blood Drive. Apparently Blood Drive will be ending the storyline of Heavenly Host Elementary School. This marks the first time that Corpse Party has appeared on the PlayStation Vita and it is worth noting that XSEED has brought both the first game and Book of Shadows so it will be interesting to see if this final game will head also West.

Remember Me Score Comes from Mind of Olivier Deriviere

Remember-Me-New-Screens-07

Developer Dontnod Entertainment and publisher Capcom probably had a lot of options to choose from when deciding on who would compose the musical score for their upcoming game Remember Me. Regardless of all the options available, they seem to have chosen a great fit with composer Olivier Deriviere.

Having previously done composition work for Alone in the Dark and Of Orcs and Men, Olivier has uniquely created the score for Remember Me by taking live recordings of Philharmonia Orchestra at Air Studios in London by John Kurlander and then electronically remixing at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles into multiple layers to fit with the futuristic setting and theme of rebuilding Nilin’s memory. For those missing the deeper meaning there, by utilizing the purely organic sound of the orchestra and modifying it digitally, the score perfectly reflects the main character’s state of mind. Heavy stuff.

Even more so, the score has been designed to adapt to how the player controls Nilin, while also incorporating hidden messages. Players wanting to check out how the game will sound can listen to samples HERE, else they just have to wait until Remember Me releases for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in North America on June 4th, then in Europe on June 7th.

Developer Levelloop and publisher BulkyPix are releasing their new candy-eating chameleon game for iPhones and iPads on May 2 via the App Store. The aim is to catch all of the candies falling from the sky before they hit the ground.

To spice things up the gameplay features a combo and experience system with the player collecting money from the swallowed candy. Not everything is edible however, as falling piranhas, giant spiders and poisonous confectionery pose a danger.

The game has two gameplay modes, upgrades, skills and 9 species of chameleons to unlock. Social integration is playing a central role as well with Facebook support to play with friends and compare scores.

You can follow the publisher on Facebook and Twitter for more info, and be sure to check out the trailer and screenshots below.

Starting the 31st of May, those in the UK who are looking into an upgrade for their 3DS will be able to snag up a new color, as Nintendo will be bringing the pink model to the region. As you may remember, we already seen a pink and white model thus far, but as you see in the picture above, this version is very pink, and much more bold in the color department.

I am all for new colors with handhelds, even though pink isn’t my cup of tea. You can find this model in stores in just a little over a month, so check your local retailer for pre-order information and general availability.

You may remember that at the end of 2012, some trademarks were filed by Namco Bandai that pointed towards a possible Western release of the Idolm@ster series in both Europe and the US. Well today Namco Bandai has indeed released three Idolm@ster games but hold your horses. These games, originally released on the PSP in Japan, have now been released on the iOS without any actual announcement from the company and they cost $54.99 a piece.

There are three games here and each one of them contains pre-rendered music videos using the 3D models from The Idolm@ster 2 video game and anime cutscenes from The Idolm@ster anime series. The titles have been re-named into English and placed on the iTunes store, with Idolm@ster Shiny Festa Harmonic Score, Idolm@ster Shiny Festa Melodic Disc, and Idolm@ster Shiny Festa Rhythmic Record.

Each of these three games feature different idols and a special half hour OVA that has been given English subtitles as well. It is interesting to note that despite the fact that purchasing all three of these iTunes games would cost $164.97, it is actually cheaper to buy these on the iOS than simply trying to import the original Japanese PSP releases. However one can’t help but wonder if the iOS was really the best place for such a high-priced, low-profile release when the PSP/Vita likely would have been a more viable option.
