Mighty Mighty Titans A sequel to the hugely successfulAttack on Titanaction game is officially underway. Omega Force is back to develop once again and while no platforms or story information have been announced yet, the game is schedule to release in “early 2018.” I still need to sit down and watch the anime when I get time one of these days. I saw an hour or two of gameplay from the first game and it seems like it plays very well; the grapple hooks or whatever they are seem really fun....

The PS5 seems to be doing well right now....

Three additional episodes coming in 2016 After playing the previous episode,A Block and a Hard Place, I said it felt like the true end of the season. Not only did it wrap up the main story arc, it also ended Telltale’s string of quick releases for the series. The shortest wait between episodes was just two weeks, but at this point it has been three months since Episode Four. One more week and we’ll have the fifth episode on March 29....

Cool dood! A rating forDragon’s Crownhas emerged from the Australian Classification Board, indicating the PlayStation 3 and Vita title will be released in PAL territories. The listing suggests NIS America will distribute the title for Atlus, which seems to make sense given the companies’ recent history. Atlus doesn’t maintain a presence in Europe or Oceania, relying on third parties to bring their titles to those regions. NIS America has filled that role lately, handling publishing duties for bothEtrian Odyssey IVandDevil Summoner: Soul Hackers....
