At one point Obsidian Entertainment, Developer of Fallout: New Vegas, were working on an Aliens RPG known as Aliens Crucible.
Between this and what became of Aliens: Colonial Marines, I have very little hope for the IP. At least I can drown my hopes of what might have been with the largely underrated RTS Aliens vs Predator: Extinction.

Following up their Breaking Bad RPG spoof, CollegeHumor takes on The Wire. The best part is when they use the warp whistle to skip past Season 2 since nothing important happens.
Gravity Rush is a PlayStation Vita exclusive open world action RPG directed by Keiichiro Toyama and written by Naoko Sato - both known for their work on Siren and the first Silent Hill. It’s like Hayao Miyazaki, Solatorobo, inFAMOUS, and Crackdown had a baby. It’s also by far the best looking and most innovative game on the Vita and one of the best games of the year.
AWESOME
NOT AWESOME
Hironobu Sakaguchi’s newest game, The Last Story, is getting a pretty neat limited edition. All copies of the game’s first printing will include a soft-cover art book and display box. This almost makes up for the fact that North America didn’t get the sweet Xenoblade limited edition with the red Classic Controller Pro.
See what I did there? Atlus have announced that they’ve begun working on the next numerical installment of their SMT series. The previous numbered MegaTen game was Nocture, one of the best RPGs games for the PS2. It was re-printed a few years ago by a company that insists on lowering my game collection’s value, so if you’ve never played Nocturne, do it now. It’s like Pokémon on bath salts.
I’m not really planning on getting Dragon Quest X since I haven’t played IX yet, but I would like to trade in my Mini Medals for some of the game’s accessories. I’ll probably pick up the neat-o thumbdrive, and if I’m feeling awfully silly I might grab this ridiculous keyboard. It will cost about $50 but the stares from my coworkers will be priceless.
Vanillaware’s Dragon’s Crown was to be published by Ignition (King of Fighters XII, El Shaddai). However, Atlus have announced that they will now be handling the release. There’s still some confusion as to whether Atlus will be collaborating in the game’s production or if they are only handling the publishing. Hopefully this doesn’t allude to Vanillaware having trouble developing the game, because it looks frickin’ awesome.
Bad news, Ghibli fans. The English-language version of Level-5’s and Studio Ghibli’s Ni no Kuni has been delayed until sometime next year. You can’t complain too much though. The fact that this game is even getting a localization is a miracle. And as a consolation, you get an awesome trailer.
Been waiting for your chance to jump into the Persona series? Have a shiny new Vita, but lack the cash to throw down for all those Atlus RPG’s you want? Well, now’s your chance because classic Atlus titles are mad cheap for a limited time.
The discounted titles are as follows:
50% off Persona 3 Portable? I believe I speak on behalf of gamers everywhere when I say HOLY SHIT THANK YOU, ATLUS!!! Seriously, these deals are awesome. Hopefully more publishers follow Atlus’ lead and discount some PSP titles that new Vita owners might not have had the chance to play.

I thought I’d have to build a new $1,000 computer once PSO2 came out, but I guess I’ll just have to get a $250 portable instead. If it’s good, that is. So far it’s looking iffy. The video shows the game running about two frames per second. Sega has a year to work it out though - PSO2 for Vita won’t be out until 2013.

Mass Effect 3 players everywhere are complaining of a bug that won’t let you import your character from the first two games. That means you leave behind your face and moral decisions. Not cool. According to the Internet, this is happening in both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
I try not to buy new releases because of that whole $60 thing but I was going to break that rule for Mass Effect 3. Now I think I’ll be holding off until I hear this bug is fixed.
A Little Bit on the Slime Side: Oh my fucking slurp. If I wasn’t sure this limited edition Dragon Quest 3DS would go for nearly double it’s sticker price on eBay and import shops, I’d throw down my money right now. It will come in a bundle along with the 3DS remake of Dragon Quest Monsters for about $310 on May 31, 2012.
![Ni no Kuni Set for 2012 Release IN THE US!
I am so happy right now. You don’t even know. According to Gamespot, Ni no Kuni - the Level-5 / Studio Ghibli RPG - is going to be released in North America in early 2012. This only applies to the PS3 version of the game so far. There has been no word on whether the DS version of the game will also be localized. I supposed it could depend on how well the PS3 version does over here.
Note: Hey Europeans, don’t be sad. The PS3 is region free. If the game doesn’t come out over there, you can just import it from the US.

Check it out. Here’s the official photo of the Ni no Kuni special edition PS3 console. I’m not sold on the champagne color, but I love the character in the bottom corner. I like when a special edition console is pretty subtle. It’ll run you about $440 before shipping.
The DS version of Studio Ghibli / Level-5’s cel-shaded RPG came out a while ago. Since then there hasn’t been much talk of the promised PS3 version. According to Andriasang.com, this week’s issue of Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, have revealed that the game will be released on November 17.
It’s awesome news that the PS3 version is finally coming out. But there’s still been no word on whether the game will get an English translation.
