The game itself is an adaptation of the popular puzzle battle anime series Phi Brain: Puzzle of God, which focuses on Daimon Kaito a genius who solves dangerous puzzles in order to free them from their evil creators and receive the prizes they hold. An evil organisation known as the P.O.G. want to use Kaito to unlock the Phi Brain by solving the Puzzle of God.

Remedy shines a light on Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

Those eager to see some more gameplay from Alan Wake’s American Nightmare will be willing to check out the developer diary that was released today by Remedy. In the video we see two developers talking about a few parts of the game, as well as how they chose to create a fully fledged XBLA title rather than a simple survival mode.

The video can be seen below and the game itself can be picked up on February 22nd for 1200 Microsoft Points. Also, it is highly recommended that you pay attention to the background as the developers speak. I won’t spoil it for you but it definitely isn’t something that should be missed.

It is interesting how social media can expand the public’s knowledge of upcoming games. Some of this news isn’t exactly ready to be revealed to the public however, so it is kept as secretive as possible. Then again, posting about a project on your LinkedIn profile is a good way to let the cat out of the bag.

Ubisoft Reflections’ Art Lead Joss Scouler, one of the devs behind Driver: San Francisco, updated his profile saying that he is currently working on a “confidential Kinect project,” though no other information was given. Any guesses as to what this title may be? A Driver title for the Kinect or perhaps some other spin-off for the motion control device?

Anyone who follows Hideo Kojima on Twitter should know that he is very active when it comes to using this social media device. Now while nearly all of his tweets may be in Japanese, he is also very eager to post pictures of anything he is doing at any given moment.

Now most of these images are of interesting looking locations he is visiting, food he is about to eat and occasionally a few pictures of things that gamers are eager to hear more about. Today Kojima chose to place a picture of a PlayStation Vita running what appears to be Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, where players are able to pick either MGS2 or MGS3 from the menu screen. He said in the tweet that this was taken during a recording session for the PS Vita version of the game.

While Sentai Filmworks may be busy picking up nearly every anime that has been airing this Winter 2012 anime season, it seems they still have some licensing money to pick up a few older titles. Or in this case, a computer animated movie called Planzet.

Sentai Filmworks revealed today that they will be releasing the movie on DVD and Blu-ray later this year, so fans can expect to see an English dub for the title as well. For those who don’t know the story, it is set in 2053 where mankind must prevent their annihilation from enemies in space… sounds like nearly every mecha themed anime in the last ten years.
