4Chan Eroge Title Katawa Shoujo Releases Demo

by Michael Camacho [ Sunday, 3rd of May 2009 - 10:04 PM ]

A group of 4Chan /a/ regulars have decided to step away from posting memes and get into Eroge/Hentai game creation. It began in 2007 when an anonymous posting of Doujin work by Raita focusing on character designs for a dating sim revolving around Crippled characters. The lightbulb went off and the small group banded together to bring that idea to reality. Once a dedicated team was fully assembled, they created Four Leaf Studios and began their work.Here is the official description of the game: Katawa Shoujo is a bishoujo-style visual novel set in the fictional Yamaku High School for disabled children, located somewhere in modern Japan.

Never Been a Better Time to Survive in '09

by Brian Bentley [ Friday, 1st of May 2009 - 07:32 PM ]

The best co-op game I played last year was Left4Dead and if you were among the few PC gamers that did not purchase this title, this is the perfect opportunity for you to try it, then buy it. All day Friday, you are able to download Left4Dead on Steam and play the entire game including the recently released Survival mode. After you try and fall in love with the game (as I know you will), you have all weekend to purchase it through Steam at 40% off. Left4Dead is a cooperative experience where four players are challenged through an array of campaigns attempting to escape the zombie apocalypse and make it safety. Read More...

Another Evil Blast From The Past

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 1st of May 2009 - 05:39 AM ]

Resident Evil: Archives I said it a long while back that this year was going to be the year of Resident Evil. Not that it would dominate the market and be game of the year. But that there was going to be a cornucopia of Resident Evil titles out for consoles this year. Although it would seem that more of them will be on the Wii over the other consoles out there. Count is 1 to 1 to 2 now. XBox, PlayStation and Wii respectfully. Read More...

Finally The Best Man/Woman/Robot/Monster Team-Up

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 29th of April 2009 - 08:59 PM ]

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Coming To Live And PSN Looks like the complaining and wishing have finally paid off for all of us Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 fans. Well somewhat. Don't you hate when I say that because it generally means it comes with some kind of "but" or bad news? Well not totally this time. The aforementioned "somewhat" only means that we will have to wait until this summer to get it on our XBoxes and PlayStations. In fact, we will be getting it then with some new features that I'm sure will not let you down. Well as long as Live and the PSN do what is hoped of them. Read More...

Name change please?

by Binh Nguyen [ Sunday, 26th of April 2009 - 08:11 PM ]

Ever thought about changing your name? I have. Ever thought about changing your name to your favorite video game character? No I haven’t? Well a 6 year old Norwegian boy did, and here is what happened. This is according to a Norwegian newspaper and dagbladet.no. Last year Christer wrote a letter to the King asking for his name to be changed to Sonic X. That’s right he wanted his name to be Sonic X, do not know why but he did. His parents did not want to send out the letter but once Christer asked why the King hasn’t replied to his request to change his name. Read More...

All else fails, Buy 'em

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 22nd of April 2009 - 08:04 PM ]

In a dispute which has been raging on for the past couple of days, Activision Blizzard Inc. was ordered by a California court to turn over it's game code and custom turntables for it's new DJ game "DJ hero" back to Genius Studios.

Wii and DSi DLC for the Week of 4/13

by Brian Bentley [ Wednesday, 15th of April 2009 - 12:09 PM ]

Sorry it’s been a couple of weeks, folks, but once again, I’m bringing Nintendo’s weekly DLC into the spotlight. This week, the big N drops two titles into the DSi Shop, one into Wii Ware and one into the Virtual Console. Everyone has good weeks and bad weeks and Nintendo is different with this week’s lineup. The “Telephone” clone is impressive in that the title can support up to 21 people online, but 500 points seems a bit pricey for a slightly improved version of Picto-chat. The Master of Illusion Express: Shuffle Games title is a great idea, for a demo. Read More...

Greatest Hits? Really?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 13th of April 2009 - 06:03 PM ]

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits Let me ask you a question, am I the only one that isn't a fan of greatest hits albums from bands? Compilations of songs that I already own but the band thinks that they are the best of their collection and need to make another CD of just these songs. Making the need to shell out more cash to pick up songs a new disk that I already paid good hard cash for. How does this make sense in a world? Really? Read More...

Fists Of Iron

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 6th of April 2009 - 06:07 PM ]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 For some reason Marvel would rather slowly tease us all with a slow release of playable characters for the next ultimate alliance game. Very slowly it would seem. Almost one a month from the count that I have seen. At least outside of the original outburst of characters that were assumed to carry over from the first game. But with around 24 playable characters, going at one a month won't be anywhere on time for their Autumn release schedule. Unless they plan to hammer us at E3 with a bunch of the others. Read More...
