Sequel To Atelier Ayesha Coming Soon In Japan

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Les Major

Both Brandon here on Broken Joysticks review, and myself in Darkain Arts Gamers review found a lot to enjoy in Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. Over in Japan, a sequel is already underway to be released on June 27th this year! The sequel is called Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky. It apparently starts right where Atelier Ayesha ends off and features two lead characters. Both can be selected at the start and play out through the same story, but from their own perspective. The game will also feature multiple endings and use the LTGL engine

March 28th Nintendo Download

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Jason Nason

Not too much was released today in the weekly download, though all four items are for the 3DS. This week sees the release of Game Freak’s harmony music game HarmoKnight as well as Natsume’s 3DS Virtual Console offering Legend of the River King. The game is a fishing role playing game that was originally released for the Game Boy. Definitely sounds like an interesting title. Two previously retail released 3DS titles are also now available for purchase on the eShop. Racing game Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed from SEGA is now available and Capcom’s Resident Evil Revelations, which is being

Battlefield 4 Looks Visually Stunning

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Les Major

EA’s big contender in the FPS genre has released an incredible preview of the latest Battlefield installment. Playing out more as a movie than a video game (through gameplay, not cut scenes mind you) this guided in game tour is filled with so much visual candy it’s hard at times to remember this isn’t real. From the suns glare to many of the videos other small details that really boost the immersion it’s a absolute treat to behold. It’s definitely worth checking out the video. As lengthy as it is I found myself quite eagerly watching the whole presentation. Battlefield

Terraria Hits Xbox Live Arcade Tomorrow!

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Joshua Rust

While comparisons between Minecraft and Terraria are as common as snow in New England, Terraria looks to be an entity in its’ own right. I love Minecraft, it’s one game that my daughter and I can sit down and play for hours, but I’m really excited to play something a little different that has the same style. I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually played the PC version of this so I don’t quite know exactly how this one plays ….but it appears to be more fast paced and more action oriented than Minecraft. The addition of 4 vs. 4 competitive

Bioshock: Infinite Launch Trailer

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Joshua Rust

Who’s ready for Bioshock: Infinite? Well, the wait isn’t too much longer (for me…about 6 more hours since I’m headed to the midnight launch!) as it hits retail stores tomorrow! If you are on the fence about this game I highly recommend you jump off that fence and get to your local game store tomorrow as Bioshock: Infinite has been well received by the critics thus far. The PC version, via Metacritic, has over 38 critics reviews thus far and is averaging in at 95/100. That’s pretty impressive so far. The launch trailer for Bioshock: Infinite has been released today

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Trailer

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Joshua Rust

I felt that the naval battles of Assassin’s Creed III is one of the best new features that has come to the franchise, which you can read my review here. Granted I don’t want Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag to be all about those naval battles, I do want to see a good “pirate” game so to speak. In Black Flag you will take on the role of Edward Kenway, who is the father of Haytham Kenway who you will remember from Assassin’s Creed III. Edward is a British pirate and member of the Assassin Order. You will take him all
