This Fall, October 2nd 2008 to be exact, anime and manga fans of Ikki Tousen (Battle Vixens in the U.S.) can beat-'em-up on the go.  Ikki Tousen: Eloquent Fist, or EF, for short will make it's debut on the Sony PSP as a side scrolling 2D Action/Beat-'Em-Up game.  The anime best known as fan service due to it's featuring of girls battling out in dresses and short skirts, as well as featuring many ecchi moments such as clothing being literally ripped to shreds and gratuitous panty shots. The game will feature animation sequences reproduced from the CD and look very well done on the PSP's small screen.  And yes, just like in the anime and manga series, the game features a Costume Destruction System, so as more damage is taken, the less clothes the character will have.

This may come as a surprise to those within the U.S. and Europe, as everyone knows how Nintendo holds the number one spot in system sales lately.  But does Nintendo hold that spot within it's home country of Japan.  Surprising to many outside of Japan, Sony's PSP is consistently holding that ranking according to the Media Create Software Chart.  How is it sustaining such a lead in sales you may ask.  Well the answer is simple for Japanese gamers, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, and since it's release, has helped the PSP reach and maintain the #1 Spot.

"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized."  This is how JT treated him self when you watch him on any interview he would do about gaming.  With all his tricks and lies it was bound to catch up with him.  I assume there will just be another nut job who replaces his bag of tricks.   The judge who presided over Jack Thompson's Florida Bar trial late last year has recommended that the controversial attorney be found guilty on 27 of 31 professional misconduct charges. Among the Florida Bar offenses for which Judge Tunis has recommended a guilty verdict:Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunalKnowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunalCommunicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pendingUsing means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third personEngaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentationEngaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyersMaking statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge     Thanks to GamePolitics.

Metal Gear Mania The Metal Gear Craze Is Going On Konami seems to be revving up the hype for this game much like Rock star did for the latest GTA. Trailers and ads galore. Some of which kind of cool. This first little set of videos is a bunch of ads. Everything from, what I assume is, an energy drink ad all the way to a trailer complete with the guy who has been smoking way too many cigarettes doing a voice over. That would be the first one. It was awesome. Read More...

Just when you thought those silly japanese had run out of innocent things to twist into some distorted view of sexuality... they put out boob pudding. Boobies you can eat, literally. Go on, I'll give you a few seconds for that to sink in... Here we have some pictures of the product... you even have to remove the cardboard bra from the suspiciously young looking girl before you can get to what we all know is going to happen: licking the boob. Not only is she winking, but she is also holding her boobs in her hands. Pedophilia and dessert... Read More...

Amazon Taking Pre-Orders For God Of War III Being an avid fan of the God of War franchise, I nearly jumped for joy when I saw this on Amazon while shopping for a few books. Yes I read books too. But in any instance. I saw this, as well as a load of other sites, and decided to talk about it here for you. It's pretty much the first "solid" kind of information that has been released. But then again, this could all just be an early thing that they are trying to cash in on from the start. Read More...

After constantly checking the Playstation store today, FINALLY the HAZE demo has finally been available to download. So go grab it now!   Also a side note, the demo is 1. Read More...

Debuting today is the official Gameplay Trailer of Mirror's Edge from EA developer DICE. It shows off the acrobatics of the lead character, Faith, who is a runner for criminal organizations. The basis of the story is she is trying to free her sister who is imprisoned by the totalitarian government that is pursuing her during her exploits. Routes are easily spotted by the color red, yet there isn't always one route you can take to get to your destiniation. Also the game allows you to defend yourself in a variety of ways, as you can utilize weapons taken from your attackers, or never use a weapon and find other means of defeating anyone in your way.

Siren: New Translation Is Pretty, Horrifying The writers for Kotaku have scrounged up some more images for the new Siren game. A demo of the game was released last week on the Japanese PSN Store. They got it and got some great images of the game and placed them up for all to see. From what I saw and they said, it looks like a killer game. Even though it seems more of a retelling of the PS2 version of the game. But so far, it looks really cool and twisted. Read More...

More PSN Updates So this is more of just a long list for those out there who are interested. Got not too much to talk about here. There are a few things in the next paragraph, but like I said, this one is all about just getting the list out to ya today. The big things I want to talk about is the awesome new Full Album feature that the PS3 users will now be able to play with and get the Judas Priest album for Rock Band. I've talked about it and it is well known here of my love for this game. I really can't wait until I get off work today so I can go home and begin the long down load sequence. Read More...

Earlier this month at THQ's Gamery Day '08 event, THQ debuted three new Saints Row 2 trailers featuring wild man himself, Gary Busey. Each trailer showcases new features in Saints Row 2 and has Uncle Gary bringing you along for the ride. Warning to those not familiar with Gary Busey, he is a great actor, but a freaking nut job. So enjoy the trailers and the antics of Sir Busey. Read More...

Home Delayed Again As the image sarcastically shows, Big Shocker right? First they say real soon in a previous Press Release. Now the Open Test is pushed back to about a year after their initial release date. I was not as shocked as all the other sites out there that saw this already. I figured it would be. So anyone not in the Closed Beta can sit tight until Fall of this year before we hear they are pushing it back again. I guess some good news is, if you are in the Closed Beta, you get some more time to pal around with it. Read More...

PSN Store Updates So after being down for 2 weeks, it is finally back open. Before I get into what you can get or could have gotten since 9pm PST Monday night as well, let me talk about the store in general. The new one that is. First, I was able to update to the new one literally at 9:02 pm PST. Almost a day earlier than they originally reported. Just happened I was turning on to play a BluRay Disc and it prompted me for the update. Read More...

Home Beta Going Public "Very Soon" Before I get into to my thoughts on all of this, I figured I would show you the small release that was posted about this. And by small, I do mean very small; like 10 words on this. Yes that's right, just 10 words. Not a very long one, but it is very exciting unless they are toying with our emotions again. Here it is: "We'll be opening up the Home beta to the public very soon and hope to see you there," said Susan Panico, senior director of PlayStation Network. Ok, so seeing that, I have come up with my own prognostication about this. Read More...

Feel the Shock Next Week! I really am not a big fan of April 1st. Like I've said before, I am a fan of a good joke, but when it comes to actually reporting something that means anything yesterday was a trial. Hence why I only found one object to post about and it was about a fake video anyway. But now back to actually reporting fun news in the gaming world. So it looks like Sony is revving up their release for the new Dual Shock 3 controller. Originally it was due out on the 15th, but it looks like it will be here a week early. Read More...
