HAGAKURE Riron has posted a huge collection of links to pics, movies, summaries, and everything else on the Matrix In Tokyo Final event that went down yesterday. Andrew Vestal of yukihime also posted some pics in his June 29th journal entry. Looks like everyone had a blast.

I just beat Viewtiful Joe. Clear time was nine hours. This is the best platforming game I have played in a LONG time. It's like Devil May Cry with 2D gameplay and oodles of extra awesomeness thrown in--not to mention it's actually challenging, unlike a lot of other games these days. Replay value is high as well, with quite a few unlockables. If you have a Gamecube and are able to play imports, GET THIS DAMN GAME!

GAME Watch has posted an article on the new systems used in the PS2 Y's I&II Eternal Story remake.

Looks great. Y's fans really have something to smile about with this and Y's VI on the way.

Cave is running a prize campaign for it's new shooter they have in the works, ESPGALUDA (postcard's a little hard to read, maybe a C instead of a G). Entry forms are being distributed at local game centers around Japan. One lucky winner will win the actual game, 10 others will win posters for the game, and 100 others will win an original clock. The campaign entry deadline is September 30th. From: Namae no Nai Heya

Incidentally, the OSTs to Daioujou and Ketsui came out yesterday.

Man I didn't even know Cave was making a new game. This is great.

Square Enix updated their Drag-On Dragoon web site with a promotion movie that's available for download in the "Special" section. From: QUITER

I don't know if the movie is brand new or not as I haven't been keeping up with this game very much. I thought it was just going to be another rail shooter, but after viewing this movie it seems to be a mixture of quite a few different gameplay elements. My interest has hightened.

Viewtiful Joe is kickin' my ass. I love it.

Only 13 episodes in and Kaleido Star is already getting a new OP and ED song starting next week. The new OP is by Yonekura Chihiro and is titled "Yakusoku no Basho e." The new ED is by SOPHIA and is called "Boku wa Koko ni Iru." From: MOON PHASE

I don't watch Kaleido Star; just thought this was a little weird...
I like Chihiro though. ;)

QUITER has posted a couple new screenshots of PS2's supposed answer to Halo, Killzone. There's also some links provided on the page if you need to get caught up.

I got Viewtiful Joe today. What a game. Pretty tough too. Here's hoping I don't beat it within the next day if you catch my drift.

There's some new screenshots of the second DBZ Budokai game over at gamesradar.com. Even though I'm confident it'll play like crap, I think the cel shading fits rather nicely.

Silent Hill 3 got 9,8,8,8 in the latest Famitsu, not bad. I'd give it a hearty 8 as well. Very nice and creepy game, just a bit too short and easy.

R-Type Final on the other hand is a bit too short and hard! Well ok, I don't know if it's short, cause I've only made it to the third level, but it's definitely hard. Must...play...more...

The upcoming issue of Arcadia is said to have an article about PSYVARIAR 2 (tentative name), the sequel to 1999's cool but not real cool PSYVARIAR. Whether or not it'll be ported to PS2 like the first game remains to be seen. From: Namae no Nai Heya

More great news for shooter fans. The world can never have enough shmups.

The latest Dorimaga magazine says BORDER DOWN is coming to Dreamcast! It's scheduled for release on September 25th. The regular edition will be 6800yen, while the limited edition with pack in soundtrack will go for 8800yen. New modes featured are a remix mode and a practice mode. From: 2ch

I haven't read too many good things about this game, but it's still good news for Dreamcast fans, and shooter fans in general.

Changed the site design to something even more plain. Comments and Favorites aren't up yet, everything else is fine.
