Rock Kills Retro Video Game Characters

In a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors… The Rock will lose to the paper. However, ATLUS USA seems to disagree with it, and believe that instead – Rock beats everything. What way to prove the rocks dominance then to have it invade retro video gaming worlds and destroy the characters within them?

This is a trailer for the upcoming ATLUS USA game Rock of Ages which is due out on the 31st August for the XBox Live Marketplace and later on this summer season for the Playstation Network and PC platforms. The game is an Action-Strategy game which has you controlling a giant rock to attack the enemies tower through utter destruction whilst defending your own…. and yourself.

As I have not done an article on this game before, here is the official description from the press release:

 A rock-solid combination of deep strategy, rock-rolling action, and captivating art and music from throughout history! Two castles stand opposed, bridged by an uneven, narrow pathway. One is yours, and you’re quite fond of it. See how the parapets catch the sunlight ever so stylishly? The other is your enemy’s; they’re a jerk, and their crappy crenellations are driving down your property values. Also, their castle sucks, justification enough to try crush it using an enormous rolling stone. Unfortunately, they’ll have a chance to plan and build up some security, doing everything they can to derail your razing rock. Get through their defenses and you’re one step closer to crushing their unsightly tower (see also: their hopes and dreams). But don’t take your turn for granite. Once your turn is over, your opponent’s begins…
