Sony Computer Entertainment America have released a brand new Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale trailer. However, this trailer happens to be live action rather than using game footage. It is an extension to three short teaser trailers released during the last few days. Entitled “The All-Star”, the trailer documents a battle between Nathan Drake, Kratos, Cole McGrath and Sackboy. After Kratos is attacked by the other three, a young male (who bears a resemblance to Michael in the Michael ad) convinces the God of War to regroup and attack with the Sword of Athena.

The trailer is littered with references to the characters playable in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. The language used on the typewriter is from Ratchet and Clank. In another scene, bullet shells scatter across a battlefield could be a reference for Colonel Radec of Killzone as well as Sweet Tooth’s sword. All in all, there are an abundance of references to the characters selected for the roster so far. Playstation All-Stars battle Royale is coming to the Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita on November 20 for North America, with releases in other Western territories following November 20. Check out “The All-Star” trailer below.

FUSE, the game coming up from EA with the EA partners program, has had a new bunch of screenshots and a trailer released for it. This trailer is actually more of a developers commentary showcasing 18 minutes of footage which goes through the basic story of the game.

In FUSE, there is an alien power source called Fuse that a group of organisations are trying to obtain. These organisations are known as Hyperion and a mercenary group. The game also features a unique teamwork system that rewards all players for acting as a team, rather than making it competitive between players.

If you were hoping that Compile Heart’s Monster Monpiece would be making its way over to the West at any point, well… you better start hoping as hard as you can because it seems very unlikely now that the first gameplay details of the game have come forward.

This week’s isssue of Dengeki PlayStation has given us a first look at Monster Monpiece, with two cans of the magazine shown below, and it has been revealed that the game is actually a moe monster card battling game with online support.

Currently the game is set to be released sometime in 2013 and as you can see in the images below, there are a number of monsters that the player will have to fight against, though they are are cute monster girls. The interesting thing about this PlayStation Vita game is the fact that players will use the Vita’s touch screen to touch the monsters and strip them of their clothes to reveal weak spots. Also as shown in one of the scans below, monsters can be stripped from heavy armor down to basic underwear.

For those who don’t know, Toki to Towa was developed by Imageepoch and was billed as a “HD animation RPG” with numerous anime scenes worked into the game alongside a unique style of gameplay. The title was released in Japan back on October 11th and only saw 32,215 copies sold during it’s first week at market. Currently a Western release of the game has been mentioned as possible by developers, though never fully confirmed by Western branches of Namco.
