Mecha anime series, Rinne no Lagrange, is getting a video game adaptation on the PlayStation 3, courtesy of NamcoBandai. The game’s full name is Rinne no Lagrange: Kamogawa Days. The release is going to be much like NamcoBandai’s own Tekken Hybrid, where it will not just include a game, but also a full length feature film.
Rinne no Lagrange: Kamogawa Days will include a mecha action game that looks quite similar to the Gundam Unicorn video game for the PlayStation 3, which was also developed by NamcoBandai. Also accompanying the game is Kamogawa Days OVA, the anime movie. The game itself will be based on this OVA.
You can check out the trailer below, which highlights both the anime OVA and the game.
Over in Japan, Square Enix is bringing the third game of the Final Fantasy series to the Playstation brand for the first time on the Playstation Portable, according to the latest issue of Jump.

The game will be available at retail or via the Playstation Store on September 20. Retail copies will be sold at ¥3,990, while PS Store copies will be available at ¥3,300. The official site is up and running right now. While it is being developed for the PSP, it will also be available for Vita due to the Vita’s PSP compatibility feature.
Features from the iOS port are being added to this version. In addition, players can expect widescreen support, gallery mode where players can listen to BGM and see illustrations, an option to switch to the original Famicom music and an auto battle option that doubles the speed of battle. Screenshots and a teaser trailer were released, which you can see below. There is no word on whether the game will reach the West. While the PSP is practically on the way out, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy IV have all made the jump. Maybe they could offer it as a download.

Level-5 are prepping for the release of their story-driven game Time Travelers with a new trailer. The trailer shows off some of the more dramatic moments of the different scenarios. It also shows off some of the gameplay elements. While some sections include a quick time event mechanic, others will utilise a choice mechanic, meaning branching storylines. Players can also hop between the chapters of the different scenarios to change the fates of the different characters.
Set in 2031, Time Travelers revolves around an event that will change the world forever. Eighteen years earlier, in 2013, central Tokyo was destroyed by the appearance of the “Lost Hole.” These two events may have a correlation with each other. Time Travelers is set for release on July 12 on the Playstation Vita, Playstation Portable and Nintendo 3DS. So far, Japan is the only region set for a release. The trailer can be seen below.

Project Dragon: The Roar From The Dungeon has been describes as WeMade’s “Greatest Prodigy” and after watching the trailer it’s easy to see why! A developer well known for it’s endeavours in the MMORPG market, this ambitious title allows players to play with one another online with four class options: Weapon Master, Sage, Magician and Assassin with customisation options. Gameplay appears to be insanely fast-paced and fun with interesting slide and tap control options. Oh yeah, and the graphics are looking awesome!

Originally abandoned by Activision, the newly revived Sleeping Dogs seems like it may be able to do everything, except put someone to sleep of course. Now while the demonstrations on the show-room floor gave people a chance to try out the unique melee system that Sleeping Dogs contains, we were able to witness a closed-door experience with the PC build of the game demonstrating the shooting mechanics as well as some of the driving action that the final game will contain. We join up with Wei Shen in what appeared to be a night club that he was running somewhere in Hong Kong under his current boss. Shen and two of his compatriots are trying to figure out who just attacked them in what was likely the mission that would have taken place before, when suddenly a man named Ponytail shows up with a proposal.
Rather than giving a portion of their profits to their current boss, Shen and his crew would need to pay a different Triad boss who goes by the name Big Smile Lee. Obviously this proposal wasn’t met with handshakes and smiles, and Shen told him to leave and never come back. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize that Lee’s men had already surrounded the club and infiltrated the place and his refusal instantly began a bloodbath. Now the third person gunplay style doesn’t seem too unfamiliar from what most people will be used to, such as taking cover behind walls and various objects. What does make the gunplay interesting is the fact that the title contains some quite interesting bullet time factors. Players will be able to enter a bullet-time like mode and leap over cover, dive over railings and perform various other stunts like one would see in action movies while shooting at enemies.
After eliminating all of the thugs inside of the night club, we watched as the developer took Shen out onto the street and hopped into a car to chase after Ponytail as he tried to flee the scene. Now rather than actually drive the car, the player had control over Shen as he hung outside of the passenger side window and took out any enemy vehicles that were pursuing them. The entire car chase played out almost exactly like an action movie considering the realistic reflections of the lights on the cars. Plus, the vehicles the enemies were driving seemed to have some mini explosives hidden in their tires considering nearly every vehicle that was taken out would end up launching itself into the air in some way or another. This was especially true for whenever the player took out the tires on the vehicle, with it actually jumping into the air at least five feet.
After a very exhilarating car chase with plenty of flipping and rolling cars, the player had to chase after the Ponytail man. During this segment we saw that the player would also be taking part in some minor free running as the player had to climb over fences, burst through doors of occupied homes, jump and climb onto roof tops and more. Unfortunately that ended our experience with Sleeping Dogs but this unique experience already looks like it will be hard to pass up when it is released on August 4th.
Get ready for battle because a new fighter is coming to iOS Devices!
Friend Fighter is a new fighting game coming to iOS devices from WeMade Entertainment. This title is one of eight from WeMade Entertainment that premiered at E3 2012 as the company attempts to push it’s market outside of Asia.
This game appears to play much like Street Fighter IV: Volt with a few noticable differences. Character designs are looking sharp with interesting combos that can lead into juggles and special attacks! It should also be noted however that Friend Fighter is currently just a working title and is set to include some interesting social features.
Friend Fighter is looking promising so let’s hope we can see it on iOS devices soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer below!
