While they certainly have their following, MMO?s are arguably something of a niche market. Location-based games, even more so. Given these facts, you?d think that a location-based MMO might have about as much appeal as a dead fish in a streetcar. Yet Shadow Cities manages to impress not merely as an MMO or as a location-based game, but as an original concept that could only work on a mobile phone.

What to see what a PSP game blown up to HD on the PS3 looks like? Well, you're going to have to work for it. In a recent Famitsu Ustream broadcast you'll find footage of this first of what will hopefully be many PSP-to-PS3 ports.
The problem is that the video stream is 45 or so minutes long. Andriasang says that you'll need to jump to about the 21:00 mark to find the game footage of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD. You'll have to put up with the voices of a bunch of Japanese onlookers yelling things like "waaah!" during the stream, but it looks great, so it's worth your trouble.

While in Paris to attend a concert performed by Masashi Hamauzu, the current composer of the Final Fantasy series, Mistwalker president Hironobu "The Gooch" Sakaguchi mentioned that the Wii action RPG The Last Story would definitely arrive in Europe. This info jives well with an earlier rumor from a Nintendo rep in London.
If legit, this means Europe has both Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story to fulfill their Wii JRPG desires. It also means that the States is still getting stiffed hardcore by Nintendo. Did we offend you in some way?
Japan has all but given up on the Wii, and no one in Europe gives a flying fudge about software unless it says "Just Dance" somewhere on the box. The only major region that still somewhat supports the damn platform is the US, yet Japan and Europe are where the most exciting projects turn up.
Nintendo reminds me of that kid in school whose ego is so gargantuan that he can't stand it when someone doesn't like him unconditionally. He could be the most popular guy in school, but he won't pay you a lick of attention until you stop paying him any attention. He's trying to gain favor with those who don't want to hang with him while ignoring those who do.
Stop being that guy, Nintendo!

The Dead Island forums revealed the game's box art today, with a normal version for most of the countries that traded slaves in the colonial era and a censored version for the region they were headed to. Makes sense, no?
I never saw a problem with the logo, as the game's fictional island has tourists of all colors as well as an indigenous population. A more valid complaint would be that it makes no sense to hang a zombie from a tree by its neck. Anyway, potbelly zombie Platoon!

What does Duke Nukem and Sonic the Hedgehog have in common? I studied at the School of Cool for fifteen years and have used my extensive education on the subject to deduce the problem -- they are too cool to be cool.
Thank God for me.
