Etrian Odyssey IV English Trailer Released

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Les Major

Etrian Odyssey has always been a game series I’ve enjoyed. I miss the olden days of dungeon crawls like this and Etrian brings back even more of that magic letting me draw my own maps on my DS touch screen and label them too with items, treasure, monsters, etc.

The series is back again with the fourth installment this time on the 3DS! Looking bigger and better than ever. As the latest group of adventurers, which means if it’s anything like the last games the group you create, you’ll be arriving at Tharsis and setting out to reach the tree Yggdrasil to discover it’s secrets. It’s an Atlus import, it’s an RPG, you know this is going to rock! The game is set for release on February 26th, 2013.

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Eric Bastelak

Greeting dear readers, you will have to excuse my infrequent posts as of late as I prepare for a big move I’m finding myself with less time. Chores, apartment viewings, work and, Rainbow Moon (Yes that review will be posted VERY soon). As life keeps throwing curve balls at me I tend to get depressed. When I get down I always seem to gravitate to immersive games from my childhood. I get wrapped up in these games. They provide an escape which can be a great break from reality. I always come back feeling refreshed ready to tackle whatever life has to throw at me.Read More

Tales of Xillia Trademarked by Namco Bandai In North America

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

The next entry in Namco Bandai’s “Tales of” series might be one step closer to a North American release with the news that the publisher has trademarked Tales of Xillia in North America.

Xillia, the 13th major release  in the Tales series, was released in Japan this past September. The game uses the series staple real time battle system where up to four characters battle monsters/enemies using “artes” (special attacks). Bringing subtle changes to the series established Tales formula Xillia allows multiple characters to combine their attacks mid-battle. The game’s perspective also changes in Xillia from a top down perspective to a third person “behind the back” camera.

The last North American releases in the Tales series came within a month of each other over the last few weeks. Tales of the Abyss was released on February 14th for the Nintendo 3DS and Tales of Graces F was released on March 6th for the Playstation 3.
