Infinite Space short film- Anime clichés now fully dubbed in english

Sit back and relax, as Sega of America uploaded today one of the many animated shorts of Infinite Space, but now fully localized in english. Expect a lot of heat from the otaku crowd. But I gotta say, the voices aren’t bad, not too cartoony. I’m also getting a Star Wars vibe out of this. [...]

Hum, could somebody ask Platinum Game’s marketing division if they’re planning to spell check their own videos? I would, but I’m bound to sit and watch this promising, if curious, Infinite Space trailer. That’s what I do. I watch video game trailers all day long. Read more about Infinite Space.

Madworld’s sales numbers make me sad.

We know that M-rated Wii games are very rare, once in a while one such title will surface, but results aren’t very pleasing. Especially for MadWorld, as Gamasutra reports: Sega and Platinum Games’ violent stylized action game Madworld sold 66,000 units in the U.S. following its March 10th debut, NPD Group told Gamasutra. Sales performance for [...]

According to Sony’s Playstation U.K. website, Bayonetta is set to release this October. Wait… why would Sony even publish this date prior to any official announcement, regarding Bayonetta’s release date, by Sega?

New Bayonetta Japanese Trailer, I’m getting an Otogi-ish vibe here.

First things first. On to the new Bayonetta Trailer. Gameplay footage and some story elements included. From Software’s Otogi is one my favorite games on any gaming platform.

New Famitsu scans! First End of Eternity screens + the scoop on Bayonetta.

Everyone loves Famitsu. I love it too. Especially when it comes filled with new info and the first ever End of Eternity screens.

Bayonetta set to be a “sadistically hard game”, We’re scared to Death.

Hideki Kamiya is showing some wealthy confidence regarding Platinum Game’s Bayonetta. And that can’t be a bad thing. The Japanese star designer has said, on Platinum Game’s official blog, that  Bayonetta is set to be a “sadistically hard game”, dismissing any “heartwarming tale”. I wasn’t expecting an engaging love story out of this blood bath, [...]

Mad World not doing too good on UK Charts.

The chainsaw-wielding Jack’s shenanigans didn’t seem to impress gamers in it’s debut week. So says Edge-Online: Yet Sega’s MadWorld,  according to data provided by GfK ChartTrack,  has barely made a dent in the top  40,  limping in at number  34. MadWorld’s disappointing turnout could be explained by the title being released on the sixth day [...]
