Namco Bandai to Release Christmas Tales of Xillia Costumes
Posted on November 26, 2011 | No CommentsTipo and Elise do look adorable! When Tales of Xillia was released a few months back, Namco Bandai seemed to do very frequent DLC costume releases for the characters in-game and then had nothing appear after that. Just when you might have been thinking that they decided to move on, Namco Bandai has returned with a new installment of Christmas costumes due out on the 1st December for ¥300 a piece. As you can see from the screenshots below, they all seem to be of good quality – however I am slightly disappointed Tipo does not get a Christmas hat or... -
Review Schedule for Weekend! – Corpse Party, Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below…. et al.
Posted on November 26, 2011 | No CommentsOn the 22nd November 2011, I picked up my Playstation Portable and lead a group of eight students and their teacher to a special party at the abandoned and corpsey labyrinth which is Heavenly Host Elementary School. Where better place to hold a party than one that has rotting corpses, parallel dimensions, ghosts that would easily devour or steal body parts and wrapped in a mystery that is many many decades old…. did I mention the school doesn’t even exist? Tonight I just finished my playthrough of the game and while I was not able to lead all brave souls... -

Reviews for Today – Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception and Rayman Origins
Posted on November 21, 2011 | No CommentsI was hoping to have both reviews up this weekend, however unfortunately have been unwell all weekend. HOWEVER, as I have somewhat recovered and had a lot more time to sit around and playtest both games, I have allocated two games for review today. The first will be Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, the third instalment in the Uncharted series and has proven to be the most fascinating but odd of the three (This literally has a couple of hundred words left to write). As well, I go back to how the series began with the side-scrolling game Rayman Origins, and see if after several... -
