| In a world in wich good games with good plots and well developed chatacters are more and more dificult to find, as they're drowned by tons of trash, a decently mature gamer shares his very personal point of view. |

| A new character appears in Valkyria Chronicles 2. New Videos |
| 2009-11-19 09:27:00 |
Forster ClementiaPicture uploaded by Abriael Today's Valkyria Chronicles 2 update isn't as big as the previous ones, but at least we get sone information on a new character: Forster Clementia (that is featured in a new video).Forster is a scientist that lives in a small castle connected to the academy via a drawbridge, and often appears on the premises of the school. She has made a name for herself in the study of artificial valkyrie, and seems to know a lot about the valkyrie race in general. She also seems to have a deep connection with the empire.The mysterious scientist that also happens to be a sexy lady was, indeed, another anime stereotype that Valkyria 2 was missing.The rest of the update is another video about Aban feasturing a runin with Juliana Eberhart, and a gameplay video ...

| 2009-11-12 10:50:00 |
Alicia and WelkinPicture uploaded by Abriael My job willl still keep me busy until the end of the week, preventing me from updating the blog regularly, but of course I can't miss reporting the thursday Valkyria 2 news.Many were wondering if characters for the previous games were to make an appearence in Valkyria 2, given that the game is set two years after the first. Looks like we have our answer, as Alicia Melchiott and Welkin Gunther are both part of the cast. Each of them has a new movie.Alicia is now taking care of the bakery in the Lanseal Academy, and Gunther, that now works as an university teacher, ofter goes to see her.Both will also appear as playable character when "certain conditions are fulfilled" and will play prominent roles in the story.We already chaught a few glimpses...

| Valkyria Chronicles 2 new videos and characters revealed |
| 2009-11-05 10:19:00 |
Sophia CollinsPicture uploaded by Abriael This week has been kinda brutal as my job took over a big slice of my gaming time, but nothing can get in the way of my thursday Valkyria Chronicles 2 news.Today's update of the official website includes a few new videos. The first is focused on the BLiTZ system. It will be extremely familiar to anyone that played the first game.The rest of the update is completely centered on the cast. A new video is dedicated to Kober Briksam, the stern homeroom teacher of Class G. He used to be a soldier during the war against the empire, but his eyes have been severely wounded, forcing him to retire from the army and join the Lanseal academy as a teacher. His apparent cold-hearted attitude has the purpose of teaching his pupils the severity of war. A second...

| Lunar Harmony of Silver Star goes back to the past |
| 2009-11-02 07:47:00 |
Dyne in Lunar PSPPicture uploaded by Abriael We already knew that Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (slated for release in Japan on November the 12th) will have additional content compared to the original, and even to the old glorious "complete" edition. What we still didn't know is that as part of this new content, we will be able to play part of the events happened before the first game.In an additional scenario, the player will be able to take part of the four heroes of the past, Dyne, Ghaleon (that will become the game's main villain), Lemia (Mia's mother) and Mel (Jessica's father), in their quest to free the goddess Althena from the clutches of the evil Aiferun.This will give us a new insight on the events that led to the beginning of Lunar's storyline, and for the first time will let yo...

| Assassin's Creed Lineage released. Awesome. |
| 2009-10-27 10:43:00 |
Awesome is really the only word to describe the short Assassin's creed movie Ubisoft released today. Hybride managed to bring the Assassin's Creed 2 universe to life wuth a quality very similar to theatrical movies. I can only hope that they decide to make one sooner or later, but looking at the effort put into this series of shorts, I'd say we can definitely wait for an announcement about that sooner or later.The only flaw, unfortunately, is the mispronunciation of some italian words and names (like "Stefano" with the accent on the "a" instead of the correct one on the "e"). Since they decided to use some Italian words in the dialogue (a choice that I personally don't like too much, mixing languages simply doesn't make much sense), they should have at least hired a native speaker consulta...

| Ar Tonelico III detailed |
| 2009-10-26 11:32:00 |
Ar Tonelico IIIPicture uploaded by Abriael Yesterday, during an event in Tokyo, Banpresto finally detailed the upcoming PS3 JRPG Ar Tonelico III, to be released in Japan on January the 28th, 2010.The game wil be the first of the series to use 3D graphics, with a lovely cel shaded style that fits the series perfectly, and will be paired with beautiful anime cutscenes. You can see quite a lot of screenshots and artworks on the Japanese website Game Watch, and the new official trailer below.If the music through the game will be even near to the quality of the track used for the trailer, we're in for a treat for sure. After all music plays a central role in the Ar Tonelico series, and this third chapter will be no exception to that rule.While the Reyvateils (a race of artificial humanoids a...

| Dragon Age Origins PS3 to hit the US on november the 3rd |
| 2009-10-23 13:04:00 |
The special announcement made by Bioware today on the Playstation Blog was that (only in the US) Dragon Age Origins for the PS3 will be released on november the 3rd, at the same time as the PC and 360 version. Unfortunately Europe will continue to be the gaming ghetto, and will follow later this November at a date still to be determined.Thank you for nothing Bioware? The funniest bit is that the announcement was made on the first touted "live chat" of the European Playstation blog. So basically Bioware came to us to tell us "sorry mates, you're still second rate customers, better luck next time".They also commended the power of the PS3 saying "We are really happy with the results on the PS3. It was our first experience and we were really impressed with the power of the machine. I think fan...

| Breaking News: Nintendo fanboys are a dying breed, again |
| 2009-10-21 09:02:00 |
Nintendo FanboyPicture uploaded by Abriael Earlier this generation, looking at gaming sites dedicated to multiple consoles, It was quite easy to spot a lot of Nintendo fans. After a couple very harsh generations for their brand of choice, they were finally able to be the ones standing on the podium of the best selling console, jeering and laughing at the Playstation and Xbox fans.You couldn't criticize Nintendo and their marketing choices without being hit by a tsunami of angry fanboys in pretty much every site you visited.Now the Wii is still way ahead in total sales, but the Nintendo cheers seem to have considerably lowered in numbers and volume. Nintendo fans are growing silent and starting to isolate themselves in their few little Fort Alamos where the Nintendo fanbase is still stro...

| German "videogame burning" ends in Epic Fail |
| 2009-10-19 14:12:00 |
Book burningPicture uploaded by Abriael Last Saturday a German advocacy group named Aktionsbündnis Amoklauf Winnenden staged an event in front of the Stuttgart opera house, during which people were supposed to come and throw their "killer" violent videogames into a giant trash can to be disposed. An event disturbingly reminiscent of the book burnings that the Nazi party sponsored prior to world war 2.The cretins in question (yes, I wrote "cretins", because that's what they are, I apologize for my lack of political correctness... not really) set up a big trash can at the selected location, and waited.... and waited.... and waited. Because, as expected, basically no one shown up to trash their videogames as clearly shown by this and this youtube videos.As reported by a local on Kotaku, i...

| The Tales of Vesperia dilemma |
| 2009-10-18 07:17:00 |
Tales of VesperiaPicture uploaded by Abriael Tales of Vesperia is one of the few JRPGs released so far this generation that wasn't rushed out of the door with poor quality or evident flaws. Yet, it's known as one of the worst slaps in the face to many gamers that bought it (and bought an xbox 360 with it) believing it was a 360 exclusive, only to see it announced for PS3 a few months later. Not only ported, but improved and with added content as well.I'm not here to digress on how this might be Namco Bandai's or Microsoft's fault. It's a done deal, and pointing fingers won't help, even if such an operation can be defined "shady" at best.There's, though, another problem related to this subject. A problem that Namco Bandai seems to be determined to overlook, in the face of their customers...
