Today Nippon Ichi chose to release a brand new trailer for Disgaea D2. This marks the second gameplay trailer for the first ever direct sequel in Disgaea history. In this trailer you will see some of the game’s anime opening, character introductions, combat and various other things.
Currently it is unknown when Disgaea D2 will be released over in the West though given the fact that NIS America, an actual subsidiary of Nippon Ichi Software, has brought over every Disgaea title released in Japan. Anyways, Disgaea D2 is set to be released next month in Japan exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

The most popular card game on portable devices, Rage of Bahamut, celebrates its first birthday today. It has been a massive year for the Rage of Bahamut team as the game currently boasts over 3 million or so players with hundreds of thousands of players logged in at any one time.
To celebrate the titles birthday, the Rage of Bahamut team are giving away free card packs to all players. It’s a bit hard to find, but in the Home menu, there is a yellow link leading you to the Card Pack page and from there you can obtain this free 3000 Mobacoin pack containing: 10 Rare or higher cards, Holy Powders, Cure Waters and Goblin Powders. It also includes 30 Bazaar points, so that you can sell off or buy additional cards to other players.
Rage of Bahamut is a free game on the Google Play and iOS stores. It is supported by completely unnecessary, but game enhancing, micro-transactions. I have yet to spend a single dollar on the game and am currently ranked ~22k in the Battle Rankings.
Following Sony’s PlayStation 4 reveal (or lack thereof) at the PlayStation Meeting 2013, something quite shocking occurred. Immediately after Sony’s conference, stock in the company took an immense nose dive, not exactly what you would expect following the revelation of the company’s future plans and strategy for the next generation of gaming.
The stock for Sony Corporation closed at -1.23% following an adjusted dip of less than 2%, which is certainly cause for concern for the company. This is definitely not a good sign and is most likely attributed to the hesitance shown on Sony’s part in actually showing the PlayStation 4 console. Instead of showing the console itself, Sony simply opted to save it for E3 2013, a strange decision to say the very least and clearly one that Sony have felt the repercussions of with this news.
What do you think of this shocking news? Was Sony right or wrong in withholding the PlayStation 4 console? Let us know in the comments section below.
The latest in a long line of downloadable Guardians has surfaced and he’s eager to get in the fight. Snaga the Striker is out looking for blood and with deadly abilities like being able to stun targets and steal their own health, he’ll surely find it. Strikers are light weight but heavy hitters when placed in the right positions and so players will have to be smart just where they employ Snaga’s unique abilities.
Guardians of Middle-Earth is a downloadable title by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Brothers. The game pits teams of five players against one another in epic arena style combat. A very well designed MOBA exclusively on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, players can get their hands on Snaga himself for $2.50 or 160 Microsoft Points respectively (or completely free for holders of the Season Pass). For our own thoughts on the game as a whole feel free to read our review over here.
It has been quite a newsworthy day, but lets remember the generation we are still in for a minute. Right now, one of the finest Action RPGs that consoles have seen is set to release a full on expansion. I am of course talking about Dark Arisen ffor Dragon’s Dogma – and things are shaping up nicely for the add-on as a new trailer has been revealed, showing off some new enemies players will come across in the game.
What does this trailer hold?
Watch as a band of heroes descends into the depths of Bitterblack Isle and encounters the horrors below. After successfully defeating a ferocious Cockatrice, these stalwart warriors will encounter Necrophagous in various forms. Garms, a band of ravenous twisted lupine beasts that spew a blinding fog, descend on the carcass of the Cockatrice and attack the party; an Elder Ogre, a larger and deadlier form of its surface dwelling cousin, squares off with the party in a dark hallway; and most fearsome of all, the Cursed Dragon, twisted into a truly wretched foe by the darkest of magicks, bears down on the group, seeking to devour any flesh it can.
I honestly put off playing Dragon’s Dogma when it originally released as I was too caught up in Skyrim. When you put the two side by side however, Dogma is the true winner as I have recently fallen in love with the game, and this new expanision is looking to tighten my relationship even further. Check out the clip below, and expect to see Dark Arisen on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 23rd.

Read up on your warped American History and look out for that Songbird because Bioshock Infinite has officially gone gold! Announced via Irrational Games’ blog, the eagerly awaited next instalment from this award winning series will be coming to a store near you on March the 26th.
Creative Director of the game, Ken Levine spoke of the achievement: “Today, I’m happy to announce that the game has gone gold. What that means is that it has been approved by both Sony and Microsoft (and the PC Gods, natch) to be sent to the manufacturing guys to load up fleets of trucks with BioShock Infinite and be driven to a store near you on March 26th.”
Bioshock Infinite places players in the role of Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former agent who is sent to Columbia to “rescue” Elizabeth and bring her back alive in order to clear his many debts. Things are not always as they seem however and players will be rapidly plunged into a world of chaos, where gamers’ own moral compasses will be broken and you’ll need to figure out just who your friends and enemies really are.
“Nobody has ever built a game quite like this. It’s a shooter, but a shooter that brings you to very uncomfortable and dangerous places. I can’t demand that you play the game; I can promise you, however, that once you have, it will be an experience you won’t soon forget.”
Following similar tones from the previous two games, Bioshock Infinite will allow players to combine guns, a handy gadget called a Sky-Hook and some incredible powers of control, destruction and confusion; adding up to some very fun signature gameplay.
“Who is Booker, and what is the debt that drives him to Columbia? What are Elizabeth’s powers and why has she been locked up since she was a child? Why does Booker have the letters ‘AD’ branded into his right hand? And what, in God’s name, is the Songbird.
Columbia is a city teeming with mystery. I’m glad to say that one mystery is over: On March 26th, you will be able to play BioShock Infinite.”
Fans the world over will be able to get their hands on the game on March 26th, with the title arriving on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
