News Killer is Dead Concept Art is... Alive
Worldwide release planned
As promised, Japanese gaming bible Famitsu has released the very first images of Grasshopper Manufacture’s new PlayStation 3 title Killer is Dead. The concept shots focus on a futuristic city and an alarmingly tidy office. Seriously, how do people cope with such cleanliness? It makes our skin crawl. Posting in the...
News The Killer is Dead in New Grasshopper Game
Not a sequel to Killer 7
Grasshopper Manufacture may be hard at work putting the finishing touches to bonkers high-school zombie slasher Lollipop Chainsaw, but that’s not stopping the utterly insane studio from raising the curtain on its next project. Entitled Killer is Dead, the title promises to blend the gameplay of Killer 7 and No More Heroes...
News Grasshopper Considering Shadows of the Damned Sequel
Spurred on
Shadows of the Damned didn’t get the respect it deserved. In what other third-person shooter do you feed crying babies strawberries in order to open locked doors? Exactly. If you haven’t played it, you’re part of the problem. Still, despite the game tanking like a weight in water at retail, former Silent Hill composer (who worked on...
News Lollipop Chainsaw's Boxart Is Appropriately Awesome
Good boxart should summarise a game's contents in a single image
Lollipop Chainsaw's front-cover does exactly that. The artwork shows protagonist Juliet Starling clutching at a chainsaw with her beheaded companion key-fob dangling from her waist. In the background are high-school lockers with zombies inside. Pretty much tells you everything you need...
News Lollipop Chainsaw Celebrates Hallowe'en The Only Way It Knows How
The latest trailer for Grasshopper's bizarre third-person slash 'em up, Lollipop Chainsaw, pretty much sells itself when it plasters enormous curse words all over the screen
Oh, and the part where protagonist Juliet Starling chainsaws a dude in half, only for him to immediately heal back together and ask, "Did you think that hurt?" Judging...
GamesCom 2011 Grasshopper Manufacture Announces Black Knight Sword For PlayStation Network
Grasshopper Manufacture and imaginative game concepts go together like cheese and pineapple, so the Japanese developer's latest PlayStation Network title won't come as a huge surprise
Entitled Black Knight Sword, the downloadable title — which is set to be published by Digital Reality early next year — is a 2D platformer with a "picture...
News Debut Lollipop Chainsaw Trailer Hits The Web, Makes Us Smile
Lollipop Chainsaw protagonist Juliet Starling screams her insults as she thrusts a chainsaw into the face of an unsuspecting stumbling corpse
The result is not a fountain of crimson, but instead a splutter of glitter — such is the style of Suda 51's latest PlayStation 3 action title. From a commercial perspective we're not quite sure why...
News Grasshopper Goes Dieselpunk With PSN Shmup Sine Mora
We had to look up "dieselpunk" on Wikipedia
Apparently the buzzword represents "a sub-genre of the pop surrealist art movement, as well as a budding subculture, that combines the aesthetics of the interbellum period through the early 1950s with postmodern technology and sensibilities". Right. To be honest, all you really need to know is...
News YES! Warner Bros Confirms Western Release Of Lollipop Chainsaw In 2012

News In The Interests Of Proving That Lollipop Chainsaw Is A Genuine Product
Some of you may have seen our story on Lollipop Chainsaw earlier in the afternoon
The project may have drawn a stern, "Yeah, whatever, it's not even April fools," from the most cynical amongst you. We can confirm that the girly zombie slayer is indeed an actual product. In fact, Famitsu has released a batch of new screenshots to prove as...
Rumour Grasshopper Working On Cheerleader Zombie Slaying Game Called Lollipop Chainsaw [Updated]
Original story: If this rumour had any other developer's name attached to it, we'd call it rubbish
But this is a rumour for Grasshopper Manufacture's latest title; y'know, the Suda51 joint. That means it's hard to treat any rumours as nonsense — the crazier they are, the more likely they are to be true. Take Lollipop Chainsaw, the studio's latest...
News Shadows Of The Damned Launches With New Trailer
Shadows Of The Damned is getting rave reviews from all corners of the Internet
The problem is: no-one knows that the game is coming out. The reviews aren't unexpected — this is a game from Suda 51, Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamaoka after all — but it's disappointing to see such a collaboration of super-creative minds slipping under the radar so...
News Oh Right, EA Put Out Another One Of Those Weird Shadows Of The Damned Documentaries
In this new Shadows Of The Damned developer diary, Akira Yamaoka and Suda 51 make silly faces while being dubbed by ridiculous voices
We speak for everyone when we say: "day one".</em>
News Shadows Of The Damned Shows You Who Is Boss
It's funny
We know virtually nothing about Grasshopper's Shadows Of The Damned, but we've had the game preordered for months now. How much more do you need to know beyond "Shinji Mikami" and "Suda51"? The game's even been scored by ex-Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. Sure, we would have preferred the game to take a more...
News Latest Shadows Of The Damned Screenshots Are Ridiculously Awesome

News Shadows Of The Damned Pushed Back Slightly
The release date of Shinji Mikami and Suda51's grindhouse horror romp, Shadows Of The Damned, has been pushed back a couple of weeks
The game was originally due out in early June, but has now been given a more firm June 21st date. The change has probably been implemented in order to avoid the E3 media vaccuum that's due to kick off at the start of...
We're all over EA's Shadows Of The Damned
Not because it looks particularly fresh, innovative or originial, but because it's from Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) and Suda51 (Killer7). Silliness is guaranteed.</em>
News No More Heroes: Red Zone Includes Levels Cut from Wii Version
Travis scores a touchdown
It's been a long time since we've heard anything about Konami's No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise, but Siliconera has unearthed a few details about extra content in the game's Japanese release, titled No More Heroes: Red Zone Edition. Famitsi (via Siliconera) reports the game will feature 10 missions cut from the Wii version...
News Suda51 Is Keen On Doing Another No More Heroes, Won't Be Doing It Any Time Soon
For as repetitive and eye-wateringly frustrating as No More Heroes is, we have a fondness for the franchise
Suda51's motion controlled slasher isn't the most technically refined game in the world, but it's no-less comically ridiculous. So would we be up for a third game in the series? Damn right we would, and Suda51's totally with us. The legendary...
News GDC 2011: We're Getting Suda51 & Shinji Mikami's Brainchild Sooner Than We Assumed
How much have we actually seen of Suda51 and Shinji Mikami's horror title, Shadows Of The Damned? Not a lot at all, but it's out in just a few months
EA's slapped a June 7th release date on the grindhouse-inspired game, creating a horror double-header alongside Alice: Madness Returns. Speaking at GDC, both Suda51 and Shinji Mikami fleshed out some...
News We're Still Not Sure About Shadows Of The Damned...
When Shinji Mikami revealed he was working on a new PS3 title with Grasshopper's Suda51, we immediately jumped to all the wrong conclusions: survival horror, bonkers art-style, weird psychological narrative, awesome
Unfortunately, the reality of the collaboration, Shadows Of The Damned, has done nothing but disappoint us. Maybe our expectations were...
News Make Your PlayStation Move A Beam Katana With No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise

News TGS 10: Shinji Mikami/Suda 51 Collaboration Revealed, Not As Exciting As We'd Hoped
It's hard to judge a game based on a 90-second trailer
It's probably something we shouldn't do in the first place. But it's hard to not be disappointed by the long-awaited announcement of Shinji Mikami and Suda51's "horror" project; officially announced this morning as Shadows Of The Damned. Perhaps it's a matter of expectation. Shinji...
News EA, Suda51 Finally Prepping Horror Announcement For Tokyo Next Month
Aside from the PlayStation Network's Siren: Blood Curse, horror games have been a little tame this generation
Even the biggest new horror franchise, Dead Space, is markedly soft compared to some of the PS2's top horror titles. We're hoping that the EA published Suda51 and Shinji Mikami collaboration fixes that. News of a big Tokyo showing from EA...
News EA Readying "Several Announcements" For Its Tokyo Showcase
Announcements of announcements are never fun, and with GamesCom just out of the way, we didn't want to come across greedy by talking about new video games we've no idea about

Mere moment after getting an official Japanese release date, Marvelous Entertainment has released a new trailer for the upcoming PS3 port of No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise

News No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise Coming To PS3 On April 15th
We're personally hotly anticipating the port of the original No More Heroes onto PS3
And it's exciting to see the game get dated for release on April 15th in Japan. Which is awesome if you want to play the game in HD. The game will have English voices and Japanese text. A Western release isn't terribly likely.

The game was originally pencilled in for a February 25th release, but the game's now been pushed back as far as April. April! With No More Heroes 2 on the Wii also yet to be delayed, rumours suggest that Marvelous are pushing the games into...
So, this bonkers Japanese promotion for the upcoming HD reboot of Suda51's No More Heroes, No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise, may feature ridiculous amounts of Japanese dialogue and a Japanese MMA star; but it also features gameplay
HD gameplay. Of No More Heroes. Rad.
