Now, barely a week since the trailer shown at the eventwas released online, the entire presentation has made its way onto the official PlayStation YouTube channel. The presentation went 90 minutes and included – besides the aforementioned trailer – a lengthy Q&A session and 35 minutes of sequential gameplay footage.
You may watch it all in the video embedded below. I actually expressed my hope that this would be available for viewing, but now that it is, I’m not sure I want to spoil myself, or the game. 35 minutes is a solid chunk of what is reportedly a 10 hour long experience, but for those of you without that concern (or restraint), enjoy!
GameArt Studio has announced today that their MMORPG medieval browsergame Holy War will now include a new order feature, for gamers to join orders from different worlds within a world group.
The implementation of the new cross-world feature was triggered from the high demand for change, according to the online survey results mid April. Holy War offers PC gamers the opportunity to interact and forge new alliances with players from everywhere around the globe, as they battle one another in this epic fight for total domination of the worlds.
As a result, the focus will be on the how the new order feature will impact on the balance of religious power in the worlds and who will conquer the greatest glory.
Are you brave enough to take on the Holy War? Register here to play the free medieval browsergame now!
May the 4th be with you! There are tons of Star Wars themed sales this week in celebration of May 4th, so let’s get to it!
Steam is leading the charge this week with all Star Wars franchise titles having 66% knocked off their regular price. For the exceptionally brave, the already discounted Star Wars Collection is 50% off. If you must choose a few Star Wars titles, I highly recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequelfor RPG fans. I also have a huge soft spot for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I really enjoyed the ability to customize your own Jedi, including lightsaber and combat styles.
Finally, GMG is running a Bethesda Deal this weekend. GMG has knocked down the prices of Skyrim, Dishonored, and both games’ DLC by 50% off. This is one of the cheapest prices for the DragonbornDLC so far, so if you’ve missed previous 50% off sales, it is a good time to buy now. The new Dishonored DLC, The Knife of Dunwall, is not included in this sale. Unfortunately, GMG’s 20% off coupon, GMG20-GGN5D-FC3NA, will not work for this sale.
GamersGate’s Spring Sale extends into its second week with new deals every day and several bundles deeply discounted. There are single titles discounted by around 50% throughout the whole event, but these can be easily ignored for the much better daily and bundled deals. I highly recommend the Deus Ex Collection which contains all the Deus Ex games and DLC. The original Deus Ex is a classic must play title. Fans of open world games should check out the Just Cause Collection for 75% off. The games play a bit like a wacky action film, but are incredibly fun. The open beta weekends for Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Mod really extends the life of Just Cause 2.
Gamefly has a 20% off coupon for May, GFDMAY20, that works on many titles including several on sale. The Witcher 1& 2 bundle is on sale for $9.59 with the coupon. I highly recommend the series for hard core RPG fans. The world is well crafted and can easily take up many hours of time. The Risen series is also on sale for $9.99 with the coupon code. Risen 1 is a little rough on the edges, but fans of action RPGs who are looking to escape Skyrim for a while will have fun with Risen’s pirate themed world. GameFly also has several Star Wars themed games on sale in celebration of May the 4th. The coupon code works with these titles, knocking some prices lower than Steam’s. Strategy and sim fans haven’t been left out of the cold. Omerta: City of Gangsters and Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants have been bundled together and put on sale for $19.99.
Amazon is running a large Codemasters publisher sale this weekend. The best deal is the Codemaster Action Pack containing seven games is only sale for 77% off. The pack contains Overlord 1 and 2, game full of British humour and evil minions to command. I highly recommend checking those two titles out if you are looking for a laid back but fun hack ‘n slash.

As you may already know, NIS America will be bringing Imageepoch’s Toki to Towa to North America under the name Time and Eternity and today they have released their first English screenshots of the PlayStation 3 exclusive. You can check out the images below and even catch how beautiful the game’s box art will look once it is released exclusively for the PS3 in Europe on the 28th June to retailers and 3rd July on the European PSN store.
In these images we see the most noteworthy elements of Time and Eternity shown off, including a glimpse of Toki in combat and the game’s art style which attempts to provide gamers with a new type of gaming experience where nearly everything is presented similar to what one may find in an anime.
Today NIS America announced when fans of their anime releases can expect to see the comedy series Daily Lives of High School Boys (Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou) available for purchase. On August 6 the complete series will be released in a premium edition package that contains two Blu-rays, a hardcover 30 page art book and their collectible chipboard slipcase.
For those who don’t know, the series follows three teenagers as they go through the trials of living a high school life with each episode providing a number of laughs as this trio go experience a number of unique situations that will likely leave viewers in stitches.
You likely already know by now that the Accel World anime has been licensed by Viz Media in North America, but it seems that they didn’t have the “master license” which means that they were limited to only a few options with the series outside of streaming. However with today’s announcement Viz now has complete control of the property in North America.
At the time of announcement Viz did not go into detail as to what their exact plans were for the anime series at the moment but now that they own the “master license” they can not only release the series on Blu-ray and DVD but even have it broadcast on television if they so wish.
Today Sentai Filmworks has announced who will be providing the English voice work for the main characters of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia (Tasogare Otome×Amnesia) which is currently set to be released on both Blu-ray and DVD on June 4th. Interestingly enough both versions of the release will also include a two disc soundtrack set containing music from the series.
The four main characters they have detailed are as follows:
Clint Bickham as Teiichi Niiya
Emily Neves as Yuuko Kanoe
Brittney Karbowski as Momoe Okonogi
Jessica Boone as Kirie Kanoe
The studio did not go into detail about who will be providing additional voicework for the series but did provide the below story synopsis:
60 years ago, a young woman was left to die in the abandoned school building behind the exclusive Seikyou Academy. Perhaps it’s not so surprising then, that among Seikyou’s many school clubs is one for students interested in “paranormal investigations.” Unable to remember how she died and trapped in the grey land between life and death, the ghost girl Y?ko latches onto Teiichi Niiya, a freshman who can inexplicably see her, and together they and the other unsuspecting members of the club begin to unravel the many dark mysteries that surround Seikyou. In a tomb of silent classrooms, the answers await in Dusk maiden of Amnesia.
It seems that despite what many of us may think, Media Blasters hasn’t been shut down yet. In fact today the company announced some surprising news; they were able to actually purchase a new anime license! The anime they have acquired aired back in 2011 and it happens to be the anime adaptation of the popular female Blackjack character from Super Black Jack, Rio.
Rio – Rainbow Gate! followed the story of the titular Rio who works at a casino and is trying to become the best around by collecting the 13 legendary cards known as “Gates.” No release plans or dubbing details were revealed at the time of announcement, but it is certainly good to see Media Blasters trying to get back on their feet.
