It’s understandable that such imagery might prompt a backlash, and so Capcom have rectified this in their new politically correct (yes, PC stands for politically correct and not Personal Computer in this instance ) “Captivate 2008″ trailer.

HAZE Review
by Patrick Steen on May 30, 2008

When we first got our hands on Haze, we were intrigued by the concept of Nectar and its use on the battlefield. Still, we were worried whether this was all Haze had to offer; a game exploiting the concept of exploiting drugs in war. With that confusing thought just escaping our little heads, our mits were on the final version of the game. Read more…

Heavenly Sword Sequel “Extremely Unlikely”
by Patrick Steen on May 27, 2008

“Huh? Say that again…”
There was always hope Heavenly Sword would give birth to a sequel that was “bigger and better than ever before.” At least that’s what we thought when we received a batch of new concept art from Ninja Theory. Not only were our hopes dashed, but they’ve now been pummeled into believing there will never be a Heavenly Sword sequel. Nariko is dead. Read more…

Persona 3: FES Review
by Daniel Acaba on May 24, 2008

Out of many of the video games out there, the Shin Megami Tensei games do a wonderful job at being mature without being gratuitous. Rather than padding out the game with over the top mature content, such as jiggling boobs or excess violence, they fill their games with genuinely disturbing material. Many of the things that go on in any given SMT game can range from disturbing to flat out nauseating in concept but they are never without a point, which is more than some games could say. Read more…
