Today Marvelous AQL released some new screenshots for Muramasa: The Demon Blade on the PlayStation Vita. All of these screenshots can be seen below and in them we see how stellar the game is going to look on the PlayStation Vita.
In case you may have forgotten, Muramasa: The Demon Blade will contain four new protagonists, four brand new scenarios and voice acting. At the moment there has been no word of Muramasa: The Demon Blade being released over in North America but the game is meant to be released in Japan on March 28th next year.
It seems that Tecmo Koei may have found themselves a better protagonist than Ryu because if the trailer released today is anything to go by, Ayane will be a much funner character to play than Ryu ever was. Don’t believe me? Then check out the action found in the trailer below and see for yourself.
As you may already know, or at least will now, Ayane will be playable in the Wii U exclusive Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and she will also have her very own chapters to play through as well as a chance to play as her in any of the game’s original story missions. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge will be one of the launch titles for the Wii U when it is released on November 18th.
While most of us were out celebrating Halloween there were plenty of spooky things happening at Undead Labs, so many in fact that they have put together a new gameplay video which shows off a rather basic, but believable stealth mechanic.
In the video below you can see how the player uses some homemade firecrackers to distract a horde of zombies from a place where supplies may be hiding. What little we have seen of State of Decay has been promising and with it being designed as an open world zombie game, hopes are high. Currently there is no release date for State of Decay though the company is aiming for a release on the PC and Xbox 360.
While most of the world has had to deal with the new PlayStation Store layout, PlayStation 3 owners in North America have been able to avoid this update thanks to various unexplained issues. However that freedom has ended because the PlayStation Store revamp is now available in the US, Mexico, Canada, and Brazil.
This redesign includes a number of filters, a new look and various streaming features. So how are you liking the new updated look of the PlayStation Store? Is it better than the previous one or are you finding it a more complicated and slower than it was before?

News has just broke that an unpublished manuscript penned by Osamu Tezuka has been uncovered after more than 60 years since pen was put to paper.
The uncovered work is a 19 page gag manga focuses around the societal dilemmas of the post-war generation, is drawn on size B4 paper and binded two-fold. The main message of the manga is one of freedom in an era in which being truly free was now becoming a reality.
The manuscript has been preserved for many decades by a classmate of Tezuka’s until recently when it was obtained by Tezuka Productions where it is now being treated as a historical artifact. The manga itself was created by Tezuka in his teenage years, a time in which he was witness to great shift of societal structure in Japan.
There are currently no plans to release this manga, but as with many of Tezuka’s previously discovered works there is always the chance it may see print one day. For now though, the long untouched manga will be kept safe within the possession of Tezuka Productions.
Painted Skin: The Resurrection, the highest grossing domestic film in Chinese box office history, is finally hitting Blu-Ray, DVD and Video On-Demand here in Australia and New Zealand. Vendetta Films are bringing us these home media releases on January 9th, 2013.
A sequel to the 2008 supernatural fantasy film Painted Skin, which starred martial arts phenom Donne Yen, Painted Skin: The Resurrection is of the same ilk, except for an ostensibly lesser martial arts focus with Donnie Yen not returning for the sequel. The film is a visual tour de force, with Simon Foster of SBS Films saying “…the sequel to the 2008 hit is never less than a spectacular visual treat!”
The film carries on from the first in following the fox-spirit Xiao Wei, who has been imprisoned for centuries underneath a frozen-over lake for saving the man she loved and thereby breaking the demon laws. Her will to survive attracts Xiao Que, the bird-spirit, who breaks her out of her icy-cold prison. Although, she is still weak and requires a pure heart to devour in order to regain her strength and walk amongst the living again.
The DVD will cost you $32.95, while the 2 Disc Blu-Ray (1 3D BD + 1 2D BD) will be priced at $37.95.
