Gameloft’s mobile game based on the hugely popular Despicable Me franchise was released on the App Store today. Despicable Me: Minion Rush, announced last week is an endless runner much like Temple Run or Subway Surfers. You play as one of Gru’s Minions, who is aiming to become Minion of the year and to accomplish this you have to run as far as you can and along the way stuff your moth with bananas and knock out as many of your yellow brethren that you see.

Gameloft have worked closely with the film’s production company, Illumination Entertainment to ensure that the game captures the heart, soul and humour of the film series,  while also creating a game that is fun and accessible for people of all ages.

Hourou-Musuko-Anime-Pic-1

Mangaka Shimura Takako will be ending her popular manga Hourou Musuko in the August issue of Enterbrains’ Monthly Comic Bean Magazine. The manga has been in publication for over ten years and deals with the subjects of gender identity and the beginnings of puberty. The front cover of the August Comic Bean will be themed around Hourou Musuko as a tribute to the final chapter.

The story focuses on the characters Shuichi Nitori and Yoshino Takatsuki who are both confused about their genders; Nitori is a very feminine boy who wants to be a girl and Takatsuki is a girl who secretly wants to become a boy. The manga was later adapted into an anime and ran for 11 episodes during the winter season of 2011, the series was streamed by Crunchyroll.

The popularity of the series has earned it plenty of recognition in Japan with over 1.05 million copies of the manga sold and receiving award nominations for the 2006 Japan Media Arts Festival and the 2012 Motion Picture and Television Engineering Society of Japan.

The manga was printed into 14 volumes in Japan with the first four being translated into English by Fantagraphics.

With the rise of next-gen on the horizon, many things are being overshadowed but when Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture are coming out with a game, nothing can keep it in the shadows for long. Plus with E3 currently in full swing it only makes sense that a new E3 trailer is released and as such XSEED Games, the North American publisher, and Deep Silver, the European publisher, have released such a video for Killer is Dead which can be found below.

As for the game itself, we’ve heard a lot about its over the top nature so far and that makes its August release window all the better. Though a more specific date would be even better than that I suppose.
