Atomic Ninjas Survival Guide #1
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmvKfDsdzw4&w=540&h=304] This trailer is fresh off the cutting board and offers some insight into what exactly the game is about. I’m told that it’s the first of many trailers that will be designed to let you know exactly what you’ll be doing in this interesting brawler. I’ve also been fed some juicy bits of detail regarding the game. For starters, it will release “late September” exclusively for PSN. Grip Games will be showing the title at the upcoming Gamescom, so if anyone is roaming around Germany, go check it out!

Busy Week, Playing Games
The past week, I’ve been very diligently playing Dragon’s Crown. I’ve put in way more time than is needed to review the game, but I just can’t put it down. I’ve also been hard at work trying to make press connections. I’m happy to say that I’ve made quite a few, so expect many more new reviews in the coming days. First up, we have Big Sky Infinity and PixelJunk Monsters. Soul Sacrifice, Disgaea 3, Germinator, Dokuro, Dragon’s Crown, Guacamelee!, Persona 4 Golden, Playstation All-Stars, Rymdkapsel, Project X Zone, God’s Eater Burst, Limbo, and Sound Shapes (in no particular order) are all in the pipeline. I will also have a…

Capcom Continues To Disappoint Me
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XInD7Hz47MI&w=540&h=304] Here’s the new trailer for the Japanese 3DS game, Monster Hunter 4. Anybody who knows me, knows that Monster Hunter is one of my favorite games. They also know that I’ve grown accustomed to playing it on the PSP. I can get down with dual analogs, but after 2000+ hours of playing with the “Monster Hunter Claw”, it’s next to impossible for me to adjust to the 3DS’s control scheme. The last game was the first Monster Hunter title I skipped since MHF first hit the U.S. on the PSP. If this does come Stateside, I may just have to pick it up. Damn you, Capcom! This could have…

Booby Brawler Senran Kagura Burst Coming To U.S.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPA3M2QhckE&w=540&h=405] Senran Kagura Burst is coming to the States later this year. At present, there is no official release date other than Fall. This should be good news for anyone that likes quirky Japanese games with a great number of over-sized breasts. Those who thought today’s Dragon’s Crown release was over-the-top and gratuitous should probably avoid this trailer. Either that, or watch it, and tell us all how obnoxious and inappropriate this sort of this is in the comments.

Why Don’t You Do 3DS Reviews?
Someone asked me why I don’t review 3DS games. The short and honest answer is that I just don’t have many of them. The games I do have are Luigi’s Mansion, Fire Emblem, and Art Academy. I also have all of the Mii Plaza games. It also doesn’t help much that none of my contacts have sent me any 3DS games to review while I’ve gotten a bunch of Vita titles to review.

Tearaway Gets Release Date
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3tKip_HD0o&w=540&h=304] Originally scheduled to release sometime in mid-October, the team needed a little more time to iron out the wrinkles. The good news is that they have announced an official date for its release, November 22. One month isn’t that long to wait for a more polished game. I honestly like it when I hear a developer say that the game will be done “when it’s ready”. We almost always get a better game when they are allowed that extra time.

Atomic Ninjas Announced for PS Vita
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEcWKZWhlMs&w=540&h=304] The Playstation Blog updated with a fun little game from Grip Games titled Atomic Ninja. It looks like it’ll be similar to TowerFall on the Ouya and Crash Commando for the PS3, but instead of just dying, it looks like it’ll have a mechanic similar to Super Smash Bros. that sends you flying further and further away until you hit lava or just fly off the stage. Rockets, grappling hooks, ninja…uhh circles, teeny tiny bitch slaps, and other special abilities such as sticking to walls and ceilings. The story looks bizarre as you might expect from a game that gives multiple ninjas rocket packs and pits them against one…
