News Caesar, Blackbeard, and Kuma Star in New One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Trailers
A terrible trio
We're rapidly approaching the Japanese release date for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 now, and as such, we don't have many more character trailers to get through. But seeing as we've posted just about every single one up until now, we can't possibly stop when the end is in sight. This week, we get to see newcomer Caesar in action,...
News Project CARS' Latest Bump Pushes It Back to Mid-May on PS4
Pump the brakes
Project CARS had hoped to imitate Gran Turismo in the gameplay department – but we don't think that anyone expected it to challenge Polyphony Digital's seminal series in the release date drama department, too. Having been pushed out of the holiday season, the Slightly Mad Studios developed simulation was all set to release in...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse Servers Should Be Working on PS3, PS4 Still Being Tweaked
The saga continues
We're going to go ahead and create a new Dragon Ball villain if that's all right. His name's Server, and he's the main bad guy of the current saga, in which Goku and the gang try to stay connected to the Dragon Ball XenoVerse servers, only to be booted after just about every mission. This is Server's doing, as he tries to stop the...
News The Witcher 3's Newest Gameplay Walkthrough Is Superb
Man versus myth
It feels like a while since we've seen anything new and exciting from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but thankfully, that drought has come to a close, due to the release of seven minutes of new gameplay footage from PAX East. In it, we watch as Geralt does a bit of exploration, a bit of investigation, and then proceeds to find and fight...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse Server Issues Continue, But Bandai Namco Promises It's Working Hard
Kakaroooooot!
This is turning into a Dragon Ball saga of its own, isn't it? Only here, we're not fighting big baddies that threaten the safety of the universe -- we're instead waging war against Dragon Ball XenoVerse's unruly servers. Indeed, at the time of writing, we're still having trouble connecting to the game's multiplayer lobbies, and this...

News Dragon Ball XenoVerse's Server Issues Should Be Fixed Very Soon
Senzu bean
Dragon Ball XenoVerse has had a bit of a rocky start. By the sounds of things, publisher Bandai Namco wasn't expecting the support here in the West that the game has received, as its servers have been flooded with new players since the title launched in North America and Europe last week. And while that's a good sign for the release's...
News Sunsets in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Look Lovely
Going for a stroll
CD Projekt Red gave GDC attendees a quick new look at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last night during Nvidia's press conference, and, as we've come to expect, it looks rather nice. Barring a bit of combat at the end of the demo, there's not much action to see, but at least now we know that the game's sunsets have been created with...
Do want
Regular readers will know that we've been ranting and raving about Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth for a while now.

Fortunately, if you've been eager to see the title in action, Weekly Famitsu recently...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse Connection Issues Being Looked into by Bandai Namco
Well versed
We should have all expected this, really.

Reports are flooding in that the game's servers are struggling, as Time Patrollers from across the globe attempt...

We'll meet again
Providing us with what is probably our best look at the release so far, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3's newest trailer shows off characters, action, cutscenes, and more. In what should be a pretty meaty story mode, the game's set to cover a lot of ground. Big boss battles seem like they'll play an important role, as will panelled...

Should have known
Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This appears to be caused by some sort of problem with Sony's service, but the company has stated...
Review Dragon Ball XenoVerse (PlayStation 4)
Sparking!
If you're a fan of Dragon Ball, be it the brilliantly detailed original manga series or the animated adaptation, the chances are that the story is now embedded deep within your psyche – especially if you've played even just a few of the licensed games over the years. It's hard to surprise a fan, then, because they already know the plot...
News Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Continues to Look like One of Vita's Most Promising Games
Ultimate, if not mega
We're not going to sugar-coat it -- we're absolutely desperate for Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth to make it overseas. The Vita role-playing game, which features turn based battles and a heck of a lot of Digimon, is releasing soon in Japan, but there's been no concrete word on a Western release. Our interest's been piqued by the...
News Prepare for Destruction as Godzilla Blasts onto PS4 and PS3 This Summer
Insert iconic roar here
Godzilla's crashing onto Western PlayStation 4s and PlayStation 3s in July, publisher Bandai Namco has announced. And with that, we can almost hear the heartfelt roars of many a giant lizard fan.

News PS4 Racer Project CARS Pushed Back to April
Out of gas again
Slightly Mad Studios' hotly anticipated Gran Turismo stopgap Project CARS has been pushed back yet again on the PlayStation 4.

However, publisher Bandai...
News Don't Worry, J-Stars Victory Vs+ Won't Cut Any Characters for Its Western Release
Phew
'Excited' couldn't begin to describe how many anime and manga fans felt after hearing that crossover brawler J-Stars Victory Vs+ was heading West, but as that anticipation was left to simmer, people began to wonder whether or not the release would have some characters cut from its roster.

News Get Your First Look at Tales of Zestiria's Controversial DLC With This Trailer

Phwoar
The Naruto Ultimate Ninja series deserves more credit for its fantastic visuals than it usually gets.

News Dragon Ball Xenoverse Features a New Villain, Laugh at His Hair at Your Own Peril
Back in fashion
Dragon Ball is full of bizarre and, quite frankly, brilliant hairdos, but we reckon Dragon Ball Xenoverse's latest original character takes the biscuit. His name's Demigra, and apparently, he's the true mastermind behind the powerful, even-more-evil versions of your favourite fighters, and not a variation of a Final Fantasy spell...
News The Witcher 3 Will Likely Carve Out a Considerable Chunk of Your PS4's Hard Drive
Not quite witchcraft
One of the biggest complaints people have with the PlayStation 4 is that even when you grab a physical copy of a game, your console's hard drive is still going to take a beating thanks to sometimes massive data install sizes, and it looks like that isn't about to change any time soon. Indeed, if you haven't swapped out your...
News Almost Every Playable Character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse Smashes into Its Newest Trailer
The boys are back in town
Recently, it was revealed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse would feature 47 playable characters, excluding those that you create yourself, and while cramming that rather large cast into one seven minute trailer would be incredibly difficult, the brawler's tried its best to fit as many fighters as possible into its latest video...

News The Witcher 3 Sounds Like It's Going to Have a Lot of Sex
All night long
Romance is always a tricky subject when it comes to games. Not often do titles get the mood right, and more times than not, any sort of sex scene ends up seeming cripplingly awkward. The Witcher series has arguably approached it better than others, though. In particular, the second game in the franchise certainly didn't shy away from...
News The Witcher 3 May Have a Difficulty Setting That Means Death Is Permanent
Life's a witch
During The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's recent livestream, developer CD Projekt Red mentioned an 'insanity' difficulty level that would act as the game's toughest challenge.

Mmm, zesty
Although they've got a sizeable and loyal fan base here in the West, the Tales games have never been as popular as they are in their native Japan. That trend doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon, either, as the latest instalment in the franchise, Tales of Zestiria, has sold over 400,000 copies in its homeland since it launched. It's...
News PS4 and PS3 Brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse Will Have 47 Playable Characters
Rock the dragon
