J-Stars Victory Vs. - Screens and special edition info

J-Stars Victory Vs. is bringing together a lot of popular anime characters and cramming them into a single fighting game. Crossovers are nothing new - in fact we have been seeing a lot of them lately from different companies (such as the Street Fighter and Tekken crossover or the huge cast of characters brought together for Project X Zone), so it really only makes sense that Namco Bandai would create something including some of their biggest gaming properties such as Dragon Ball Z and Naruto.

Who wants more Persona 4?

Okay... that title could be seen as misleading - it's Persona 4 Arena, with an update for the arcade first (they still have those in Japan, believe it or not), but later the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Prepare to Sacrifice Souls again

We are big fans of Soul Sacrifice, but I admit when I saw the additional word 'Delta' added to the title, I thought we were in for an updated version of the game, like Raganok Odyssey added Ace to its proper title and is planning to update for the Vita.

Dark and gloomy can look pretty too

Dark Souls and its predecessor Demon's Souls were dark, grim affairs that led to many, many player deaths. Dark Souls II promises to offer up more of the same, and the visuals continue to impress with every new batch of screenshots that get released.

Digging into Deep Down

One of the titles during E3 that most piqued my interest was the brief peek at Deep Down by Capcom. The game had a D-D name, rather similar to Capcom's Dragon's Dogma, which made me wonder if maybe this would be a related title. Visually, it feels like it has more in common with the Dark Souls series.

Vivid Games just delivered a punch to the Vita lineup with its Real Boxing title - coming to the US on September 17th - and in our review, the game’s fantastic visuals obviously caught our very own Editor-in-Chief, Matt Sainsbury, by surprise; so much so that he went on to state: “the game looks so good that it's hard to believe that this didn't come from a major studio.”

Metal Gear Solid; focusing in on the boobs, yay or nay?

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain garnered a lot of attention when it was first teased, and now the prologue Ground Zeroes is starting to draw quite a bit of attention as well - but the big question is, is it drawing attention for the right things?

The visuals look amazing, and the promise of 60 frames per second is obviously nice, but Kojima's recent comments that they wanted to make the upcoming character Quiet to be more erotic and sexy raised a few eyebrows.

Nothing about the whole "shooting the living bejeebus out of enemies" bit, of course. It's the sexiness that is a threat to our global morality.

Nintendo.... Hunter 4?

We have been seeing a lot of crossovers of late, but this is one I did not see coming. Monster Hunter 4 by Capcom for the 3DS has been gaining a lot of steam, and now Nintendo has announced that there will be special The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario costumes to acquire.

Prepare to lose your Soul - again

Of course, the real test will come when it is time to play the game. Here everything is visually detailed and interesting, but some of the screenshots certainly help convey the sense of menace and often times oppressive atmosphere.
