Although FUNimation may be releasing Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker at the end of the month on May 29th you can catch what appears to be the first six minutes of the show below. The six minutes of footage can be seen below the official U.S. trailer which was also released today.
For those who don’t know, this CG film is based off of EA and BioWare’s Dragon Age series, with the movie acting as a prequel to Dragon Age II which was released early last year. Those who are interested in picking up the movie when it is released will be able to do so on either Blu-ray or DVD formats.
If you are Japanese, you are probably changing you pants after reading the headline of this article.

You can scout yourself a meal at the fast food restaurant at the same time as indulging yourself with some delicious monsters. Wait… Other way around! Scout some monsters and ingest some heart clogging goodness. It’s a truly awesome combination that would truly excite Dragon Quest fans, pertaining they are in Japan.

Do you remember how it was revealed on Amazon that Aksys Games’ Record of Agarest War 2 would have a limited edition that would contain an inflatable character doll? Well that turns out to be true as Aksys Games has officially announced their Limited Edition contents and released the above image.
The inflatable doll is blurred out at the moment but the character it will be representing is Felenne. Besides that the content will contain a “Heroic Trials from the Land of Agarest” art book as well as a 8″ x 12″ heart shaped compressed hand towel. The full details on these items can be found below, and those interested in picking up this Limited Edition will only need to pay an extra $10 when the game is released on June 27th.
Inflatable Felenne Doll: An adorable inflatable doll that will make a nice addition to any location that you can feasibly place it.
Compressed 8 x 12” Hand Towel: Conveniently compressed into a heart shape, this towel is the ideal object of your desire for when you need a small object that expands into a full hand towel.
Collectible Artbook: Titled “Heroic Trials from the Lands of Agarest”, this artbook is a humdrum addition to the many boring books you’ve read recently. Or so we would like others to think…
Coming from publisher Reverb Software and developer Lukewarm media is a trailer for the upcoming First-Person Shooter, Primal Carnage. The game is being sold as a Man vs. Pre-Historic Beast online deathmatch, which I imagine will be some kind of player versus dinosaur battle arena type of thing.
The video shows us some alpha gameplay footage of players and dinosaurs duking it out in battle, with footage of both teams being controlled by players. I’m quite liking the look of this game, and with it using the Unreal Engine technology, it is really apparent why this is the case.
Namco Bandai and Tecmo’s One Piece and Dynasty Warriors mash up, One Piece: Pirate Warriors, is nearing the 1,000,000 copies sold mark. The game is currently sitting with anticipation at 940,000 units sold, with the title expect to hit 1,000,000 with it’s next shipment.
The game itself has been a runaway hit in Japan, selling faster than any previous One Piece video game to date. The game is exclusive to PS3 and has been attributed to an increase in sales of the console (of which a special One Piece version was released). It has been hailed as the most definitive One Piece game to date and has received critical acclaim across the board.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors has yet to travel overseas yet. However with it’s European release imminent and a North American release looking to be on on the cards, One Piece: Pirate Warriors can only sail further and further into an ocean of cash for Namco and Tecmo. What do you think about the success of One Piece: Pirate Warriors? Let us know in the comments section below.
Tecmo Koei is doubling down with Warriors Orochi 3 as they have not only released it for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but they are also planning on releasing it on the PlayStation Portable… at least in Japan. Besides including Ryu, Ayane and Achilles the game will also feature Rachel from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
The game itself will be titled Warriors Orochi 3 Special and will also feature a new battle royale mode where four gamers can fight against each other at one time. Also those who have the PlayStation 3 version of Warriors Orochi 3 can transfer over their save data vita the PSP’s memory stick. Currently the title is set to be released in Japan on July 19th. Perhaps Tecmo Koei may announce a localization of this version as well in the future? We shall see.
It seems that Capcom is more than willing to keep bringing out plenty of HD Collections as Famitsu has just revealed that they are planning on releasing a Sengoku Basara HD Collection for the PlayStation 3. Currently the title has only been announced for a Japanese release of August 30th.
The collection contains three PlayStation 2 Sengoku Basara titles: Sengoku Basara (also known as Devil Kings in America), Sengoku Basara 2 and Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes. Sengoku Basara 2 was never released in North America so it would certainly be interesting if Capcom chooses to bring this HD Collection overseas.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is one of those games that has been living on the periphery of everyone’s wish list for what seems like forever. After an original outing that sold very little and only gained ‘hidden gem’ status with time, it’s fair to say that a sequel was never the number one priority for developers Ubisoft – there are after all, bigger, assassin shaped fish to fry.
But finally, after years on the proverbial back burner, Ubi-legend Michael Ancel (Rayman creator behind the recent creative revitalisation of that particular series) has confirmed that the game is now in the “active creation stage” – so basically someone’s working on it; somewhere.
The info came to light in an interview with Ancel at the Toulouse Game Show, along with details on the intended release date (there is none) and platform (there is none). But the reason why there is no concrete new info is actually something of interest: in regards to the release date Ancel had this to say:
” …we don’t say 2013 because we don’t know when it will come. We’re working to create a great game and it needs more tech ”
It needs more tech? Could that be a not so subtle hint that Beyond Good and Evil 2 won’t be around until the next generation of consoles? Given the track history of this game it is anybodies guess whether it will ever see the light of day, but fingers crossed.
Coming alongside all this almost information is an in engine screenshot showing off a somewhat decrepit urban scene complete with series protagonist Jade. The jury is out as to whether this is an officially released screenshot or a leaked one, but the feedback will surely be thus: just make the game!

Wadjet Eye Games is something of a point and click specialist, bringing to light intriguing and atmospheric adventure titles such as Gemini Rue. The next title on the horizon for Wadjet Eye is titled Resonance, and is a joint project created in tandem with XII Games. It is being toted as the biggest and most expansive game for the developer yet, having taken five years of development time:
…it’s without-a-doubt our longest and most ambitious game to date. www.wadjeteyegames.com
And there certainly must be something to that statement, as Resonance has become the first release from Wadjet Eye games to gain approval for Steam distribution before it’s release. It’s undoubtedly a huge boost for the game, which will join fellow point and click adventures such as the Blackwell Deception.
So what’s the story with Resonance? The developer’s synopsis is as follows:
A particle physicist’s mysterious and spectacular death sparks a race to find his hidden vault and claim his terrifying new discovery. The player will take control of four characters whose lives become entangled in the search for the scientist’s vault. They will have to learn to trust each other and work together to overcome the obstacles in their way and to keep this new and powerful technology out of the hands of a dangerous organization.
The game will be available for pre order next week, but if you want some instant gratification for your new sci-fi point and click urge then make sure and check out Gemini Rue, which also comes with an added dose of neo-noir…
