Following yesterday's UK release date, Square Enix has released an English trailer for The 3rd Birthday
It's rich with the kind of disjointed dialogue and silly music you'd expect from a hastily translated Japanese game. But we're still pumped. Pretty girls, big guns and a nonsense plot? What's not to love?

News IO Interactive Staff Up For "One Of The Most Exciting Projects" In Its History
Someone call Kane & Lynch -- tell them they're fired
Why? Because Danish studio, IO Interactive, is staffing up for what it touts to be "one of the most exciting projects" in the studio's history. We're guessing this has more to do with Hitman than Mini Ninjas. The role — for a "Lead Character Artist" if you're interested...

News North America Can, Ahem, Get To Grips With Aya Brea From March 29th
Parasite Eve is back
(Sort of.) Square Enix has readily slapped a March 29th release date on Square Enix's PE spin-off, The 3rd Birthday. Bizarrely, the game will only release on UMD, with "no plans" for a digital version. We don't get it. What's the disadvantage of releasing the game on UMD and the PlayStation Store? Weird.

News Final Fantasy XIII-2 To Feature 'Darker' Narrative
