The good folks over at A-1 are behind the animation of this television series. Tomohisa Taguchi is directing, and staff from the firstPersona 4anime are working on this new one. Don’t worry, though — the animation looks great. A clip shown this morning gives me high hopes for this....

I’m so glad this game has shaped into what it is now, because when I first heard thatSleeping Dogswas originally titledTrue Crime: Hong Kong,I thought to myself, “Damn it, hopefully this will be a short demo.” Once I saw the game in action, though, and was informed that it was always meant to be a completely original IP (with or without theTrue Crimehandle), I shed all reservations and instantly grew optimistic....

More than meets the eye There are a handful of game designers I admire but none of them are as handsome as Ken Levine. It just doesn’t seem fair, does it? Until my interview, I always looked on at him with a layer of skepticism. Surely, he doesn’t really come up with these detailed, imaginative worlds. Surely, he doesn’t obsess about games like the rest of us. But then he talked aboutCuldcept Sagaand card games for five minutes....

All is fair in love and war Whenever a game lets the player pick a romantic partner, there’s a chance they’ll engage with other people in a debate over who’s the best candidate. If your opponent disagrees with you, then their reply will contain the s-word and your favorite character in the same sentence. Of course, this confrontation can happen with other mediums. The romance strategy title,Eiyu*Senki – The World Conquest, may not bring an end to this conflict, but you got to give it props for letting the player partake in a harem....

‘Metroidmania’ kicks off this weekend Nintendo’s New Zealand Twitter account: have I told you lately how great you are? You’re great.

‘It’s a game that I’m very much attached to’ – Ryoma Araki As someone who played the hell out ofFinal Fantasy Crystal Chroniclesback in the day, it came as a shock that the upcoming remasterwould not support local play. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this remaster could work perfectly well for a new generation; not to mention the fact that it deserves to be preserved....

I took a few minutes today at Tokyo Game Show to have a peek at how the HD re-release of the first two installments in theYakuzaseries are shaping up. It’s looking good, folks. Crisp and sexy, I think players will struggle to tell the difference between this release and the later installments developed for the PlayStation 3. I couldn’t, after all. That is to say, I couldn’t tell the difference in terms of assets like characters and environments....
