Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei to end in nine chapters

This time, it is Kôji Kumeta’s Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei. In 2012’s 15th issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine it was announced that Kumeta will be ending the series in nine chapters, which means the series will be ending in nine weeks, officially ending its seven year publication. For those who don’t know, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei follows the story of a depressed teacher who has to teach a class of strange students, all of which have even stranger personalities.

Spec Ops: The Line Community Gameplay Trailer

Fresh off the press is a newly made trailer just for the community of Spec Ops: The Line. The title is a bit deceiving as there is a majority of cinematic in the trailer. Approximately 50 seconds into the trailer we get to see live action from in the game. Still, the gameplay is definitely worth watching through the detailed cut-scenes.

In every person’s life there comes moments where he or she must face hard decisions. Choices we make in these moments define our morals and abilities to face our fears or run away. The people of the devastated Dubai must make these decisions quite readily. When you think you cannot escape a tormenting nightmare, you might just have had taste of “The Line”.

ZeniMax and Mojang settle trademark dispute, Scrolls to retain name

Over the past few months there has been a little legal dispute going on between Bethesda’s parent company, Zenimax, and Notch’s development company, Mojang. This dispute was for the ownership of the ‘Scrolls’ Trademark, as Mojang was developing a game literally called Scrolls. ZeniMax then filed the lawsuit as the game had conflicted with their longstanding trademark for ‘The Elder Scrolls’.

However after months of non-revealed deliberation, it both companies have chosen to settle. Under the settlement, the Scrolls trademark will transfer to ZeniMax and Mojang will also let go of any trademark to the Scrolls name. However ZeniMax has licensed ‘Scrolls’ to Mojang for use in their game currently in development. They are also banned from using the Scrolls name for any sequel to Scrolls or any video game whatsoever. Bit confusing huh?

Sony’s President promises more “Game Heavens” amidst harsh criticism

Recently, Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan held what they called a PlayStation Vita Game Heaven broadcast that was supposed to reveal a bunch of new titles for the PlayStation Vita. Obviously this raised Vita owners’ hopes immensely, though once the “broadcast” began it was met with disdain and unsatisfied viewers.

The broadcast itself contained barely any titles that were highly anticipated by fans and was also done in an extremely poor manner. It seems that the criticism for the event was so high that Sony’s President Hiroshi Kawano had to write a blog post on the Japanese PlayStation Community site about it. As translated by Andriasang, Kawano stated that he will take the “Harsh criticism” from viewers to heart and use it as a lesson for the future. Kawano ended his blog stating that people can look forward to new changes that are being implemented into the next Game Heaven, whenever that will be.
