Disgaea Infinite is a visual novel adventure based on the character and environment of the RPG franchise. You play as Prinny, and will see many familiar faces from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, including as Laharl, Etna, Flonne, Gordon and more! Disgaea Infinite is not like any other Disgaea series, but for fans of the franchise, the title is packed with ridiculous humor and fun fan service!

In Disgaea Infinite, players will use "time traveling" and "possession" to solve mysteries. The game initially begins by traveling back in time. You will then possess other characters to gather info/clues. By possessing the characters, you can read their minds and see through their eyes. Some characters might be thinking something completely different as they talk to others. By possessing different characters, you will gradually find out who the true culprit is.

The 3rd Birthday (Za Sādo Bāsudei?) is an upcoming video game from Square Enix. The game is being developed for the PlayStation Portable and will mark the third entry in the Parasite Eve series after Parasite Eve 2, which was released in 2000. Very little information about the plot has been released. In April 2010, Yoichi Wada CEO of Square Enix mentioned in an interview that the game would be released in 2010.

The 3rd Birthday is a spin-off of the Parasite Eve series, which is why "Parasite Eve" has been excluded from its title. The title references the third appearance of Aya Brea and the significant changes for the design of the game compared to its predecessors. However, as it has the number "3" in the name and is the third game in the "Parasite Eve" series, fans have been referring to the game as "Parasite Eve 3".

Gameplay

Director Hajime Tabata has described the game as a "true third person shooter," but that it will be different than other games of the genre such as Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. He noted that the gameplay and plot are intertwined due to an ability called "overdrive" which Aya will use to both examine and fight the game's enemies, the "Twisted." Shown at a trailer at Tokyo Game Show, camera will be over the shoulder, such as in games like Resident Evil 5 and Dead Space.

Plot

Late night on Christmas Eve, Aya and the other members of CTI: New York are called into headquarters in response to an outbreak of attacks in Manhattan by creatures called Twisted. These creatures emerged from a mysterious time distortion.

Aya is the main focus of this game. Due to her special powers, she still has the body of a woman in her 20s, although in terms of age she should actually be 35 years old. Motomu Toriyama, the scenario director, feels that it is rare to be able to focus on a woman in her mid 30s in a game and is taking the opportunity to properly depict the thinking and lifestyle of a cool woman.[5] Square Enix announced the title at their 2007 party in Japan for the gaming press. A promotional teaser has also been released which shows Aya in wedding garb.

Development

The game was originally announced as a mobile phone title. However, at the private fan event DKΣ3713 in August 2008, it was announced that The 3rd Birthday was also being developed for the PSP[8] with no mention of the previously-announced mobile phone version. In the Tokyo Game Show presskits, it was confirmed that the game would be exclusive to the PSP.

A teaser trailer was shown at the Tokyo Game Show. The trailer recaps the events of Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve 2 before switching to the events of The 3rd Birthday. Aya is in a street with snow falling. She looks up, concerned, as a vortex opens. The trailer continues with a man offering Aya his hand. She flings it away and the camera focuses on Aya as she shoots him. Whilst this is happening, a remix of the original theme can be heard. The trailer concludes with a creature emerging from the vortex into the street. Aya does battle with the creature and just as it attacks her, the camera pans into her eyes hinting at the possible return of parasite energy. The trailer ends with the logo of The 3rd Birthday and confirms that the game will be exclusive to the PSP.

Another trailer was released, this time the same trailer that was presented in the DKΣ3713 event. After also recapping the events of Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve II, Aya Brea is seen walking down the aisle in an empty church. As she reaches the altar a shadowy figure is seen in the doorway behind her. As she starts to turn, the mystery person opens fire with a rifle. Aya takes out her handgun, and just as she is about to shoot the figure turns and appears to be carrying someone. A wedding ring falls to the floor on the steps nearby. Blood on the floor begins to swallow the ring and once it has, the camera zooms into the ring with the same effect as zooming into Aya's eye in the previous trailer. The lights turn yellow and change into "The 3rd Birthday" logo, again confirming that the 3rd Birthday will be exclusive to the PSP.

Issue 6/5 of Famitsu has an interview of Tetsuya Nomura where he says that the first few stages of the game are already playable.

Based on the sequel to the blockbuster movie, Iron Man 2 features a refined game engine to give players an entirely new and enhanced gameplay experience. The game allows players to truly feel the power of Iron Man with new destructible environments, epic enemies, and innovative hand-to-hand combat moves. This brand-new tale takes gamers deeper into the world of Iron Man, adding to the excitement of the Marvel Studios film.

Iron Man 2 offers fans a chance to play against epic enemies not found in the film of the same name, such as the unforgettable Crimson Dynamo. In the game's original story, Tony Stark has gifted the world with new technology in order to make it a better place. His philanthropic nature isn't enough to keep evil at bay, however, as Iron Man's enemies have crafted their own devious designs based on the technology. Ultimately, Iron Man will face epic battles against huge enemies, as the fate of the world is left in his powerful hands.

Konami are pulling out all the stops for the release of MGS: Peace Walker in North America. When the game launches on June 8th there will be not one, but two limited edition bundles featuring special hardware, a UMD copy of the game and other goodies. The first one will be widely available, and features a special edition green PSP.

But for REAL fans of the series, nothing will compare to the 'Big Boss' limited edition bundle, available in fewer numbers at select GameStop locations around Canada and the USA. The real attraction of this offer is the special camouflage colored PSP system, which nicely complements the Central American theme of the game. And hey, if you actually decide to play the game in a forest, you'll be less visible to potential predators. The 4GB memory stick and carrying case don't hurt, either. The whole thing is on sale for $199 USD, but they are expected to be in short supply, so you need to preorder at GameStop if your fanboy heart desires one.

The limited-edition "Big Boss" Pack will include the following:

• Camouflage PSP-3000 system
• MGS: Peace Walker game on UMD
• Voucher for in-game content unlockable early on in the game
• PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher -- title to be announced
• 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
• Premium carrying case

METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER is amongst the first of several premiere PSP titles from both first and third-party publishers coming in 2010. Don't forget -- make sure you mark your calendars for June 8, when the stand alone METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER game on UMD, METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER PSP Entertainment Pack and "Big Boss" Pack will each be available.

Snake and friends will be able to go Monster Hunting in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker when the PSP game hits.

Kotaku Japan was on hand at last night's official press conference for the game and shot this video showing a team of snakes taking on all sorts of Capcom monsters.

These hunting sections, which appear to be separate from the narrative of the main sneak and kill game, can be played solo or cooperatively. The video shows Monster Hunter mainstay Felyne prancing about at some point in the game and it appears you can do other Monster Hunter-esque things like cook your kills and even use some of the weapons from the Capcom game.

Hideo Kojima has said that it makes sense for Snake to be hunting dinosaurs because the game takes place in Costa Rica. And everyone knows that Costa Rica is jam-packed with ancient monsters, just go watch Jurassic Park.

In the past Solid Snake has appeared in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sony's Ape Escape characters appeared in Metal Gear Solid 3, and Capcom and Konami have collaborated before with Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, which can be linked up with a Mega Man Battle Network 5 on the Game Boy Advance. It's cross-over fever!

The Monster Hunter series has been the top selling franchise on Sony's PSP by a wide margin. This success (and the profits that it generated for Capcom) has led other publishers like Koei and Sega to try their hand at capturing some of that same magical formula with their own 4-player community-building games. It does not come as a surprise, therefore, to hear that Namco Bandai would like some its own multiplayer co-op action on the portable platform. Via Famitsu magazine, the company has announced a brand new IP exclusively for the PSP called God Eater. The game will be arriving in Japan this fall, with a North American release sure to follow sometime afterwards.

According to the Japanese announcement, God Eater is set in a dystopian future. The game centers around the struggle between the Aragami, divine creatures that have suddenly decided to attack the planet, and the God Eaters charged with taking them down. Wait, this is already starting to sound very familiar.

You can build a party of up to four characters offline, or you can connect with three friends for an all-human questing party. Your characters use a special kind of weaponry called "deus ex machina," to suck the life essences out of the aragami and absorb it. This allows the player to power up their weapons in a variety of ways. Just like Monster Hunter, there are different classes of weapons, but these can be swapped more easily in God Eater. Namco Bandai has also said that it expects God Eater to be much faster-paced than Monster Hunter. Clearly, these two games will be compared with much scrutiny by hordes of Monster Hunter fans who might be eager to try something new.
