News Honestly, We're Pretty Stoked For The 3rd Birthday
We are not massive Parasite Eve fans
We are not massive PSP shooter fans. But something about Square Enix's The 3rd Birthday has always held our attention. That's why we were pretty disappointed when Square decided not to release the game's Tokyo Game Show trailer. Why wouldn't they? Silly. Whatever. It's up now. And as you can see, the game looks...
News Hideo Kojima Would Love To Bring A Game To Next Year's Tokyo Game Show
While Hideo Kojima had a game present at this year's Tokyo Game Show, it wasn't his game
Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow may well have been one of the best titles on display, but it's being developed by MercurySteam, and Kojima is only overseeing the development. That said, the Kojima Productions boss would like to announce something of his own at next...

Japan is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first KFC opening with a SEGA collaboration
Colonel Sanders will show up in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, as will other Yum! Brands fast-food outlets. There'll be Pizza Hut box shields and much more. If you think about it, it's kinda neat.
News TGS 10: We're Probably More Excited About Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Than You Are
Tekken's series director, Katsuhiro Harada, has confirmed Tekken Tag Tournament 2 during the Tokyo Game Show today
The game's set to hit arcades, but a console port will undoubtedly follow. The game involves Tekken and tagging. Namco's released a trailer but it seems all kinds of so-wrong-it's-right to us. Either way, we're properly stoked for this...

News TGS 10: Meet Gran Turismo 5's X1 Prototype
During TGS, Polyphony Digital announced a bunch of new cars for Gran Turismo 5 - including the VW Samba and Citreon GT
The hottest announcement was the X1 Prototype, however, a car being developed in conjunction with Red Bull's racing team. Yamauchi's designed the car without "rules and regulations" in mind and reckons it could be...
News TGS 10: So Why Exactly Is The Yakuza Franchise Getting Zombies?
Traditionally, the Yakuza franchise is a fairly serious one
It typically deals with family, politics and friendships. There's some exaggeration to its narrative for sure (it's a video game!), but on the whole it's a pretty grounded franchise. Yakuza: Of The End introduces zombies, however. That's kind of unusual for a franchise so set in reality. So...
News TGS 10: Gran Turismo 5 Adds Dynamic Weather To Its Arsenal
Gran Turismo 5 keeps getting better
It's almost like Polyphony Digital can't stop adding features. In all honesty, this game could end up being the most complete package ever made. It's almost like a software suite now, rather than a video game. The latest addition is the weather system. The effects won't be included on every track, but Kaz has...
News TGS 10: Here's The One You've Been Waiting For - Final Fantasy Versus XIII
The first ever Final Fantasy Versus XIII gameplay footage has leaked out of TGS, and it might be grainy and off-camera, but it still looks amazing
Ok, so it's hard to really tell the intricacies of the graphics engine, but going by this off-camera footage we're going to assume it's amazing. There looks to be a pretty impressive draw-distance. The...

News TGS 10: Valkyria Chronicles III Gets Debut Trailer, Screens

News TGS 10: Project Dark Appears To Be The Spiritual Successor To Demon's Souls
There's something weird about Project Dark, the next Demon's Souls-esque project coming out of From Software
Despite the game's exclusivity in Japan, it will be multiplatform in the West. As such, Sony will not be undertaking publishing duties worldwide (as it was assumed they might with Demon's Souls 2). Therefore, the game will not have the title...
News TGS 10: Ok, We're Sold... Yakuza: Of The End Is Going To Be Ay-May-Zing
Yesterday, we weren't too keen on the idea of SEGA shoving zombies into the Yakuza franchise
But after seeing the game's bonkers TGS trailer, we're totally sold on the bizarre marriage. So what if it does away with everything the Yakuza franchise has stood for over the past few years — some might argue it's a change the franchise needed. And to be...

News TGS 10: How About Another Catherine Trailer? [NSFW]
Atlus' upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Catherine, is so weird
This trailer from TGS is just as bizarre as the last one. Once again it's littered with sexual references, dead bodies and sheep-people. What else do you want us to say? We'd love to imagine the Japanese text provides logical exposition to all the bizarre footage, but we're not sure it...
News TGS 10: Tecmo Koei's Ni-Oh Re-Emerges
The big news coming out of Tecmo Koei's offices might be the announcement of Ninja Gaiden 3 today; but GamePro's also reporting that the publisher are set to finish the long-forgotten Ni-Oh

News TGS 10: New The Last Guardian Shots Are Properly Gorgeous
Famitsu's released a new set of direct-feed shots from The Last Guardian
As you might imagine, they are utterly gorgeous. The new screens are a bit small due to Famitsu's compression, so here's hoping we get some biggies direct from Sony soon. Fumito Ueda's due to have a big presence at TGS this year. We're expecting to see more of The Last...

News TGS 10: To Be Fair, The DmC Trailer Is Pretty Awesome
For as much backlash is being thrown at Ninja Theory and Capcom right now, the reality of the new Devil May Cry trailer is that it's actually quite good
Sure, the Dante character model looks a bit awkward. But this appears to be an origins story; hence the rebellious, younger looking character. We reckon it's too early to be writing DmC off. Remain...
News TGS 10: Capcom To Announce One More Title Tomorrow
According to a post on the Capcom Europe Blog , the publisher have one final TGS announcement to make tomorrow

According to Capcom, three top-level Japanese staff will be flying over to the UK to work with Ninja Theory on DMC. Capcom's honcho Keiji Inafune was coy...

If you buy Dead Space 2 on the PlayStation 3 you'll get a free game included out of the box

If you've been reading PushSquare for a while, you'll know we love Alice In Wonderland

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 TGS 10: Oh Hey, Capcom Just Bought Blue Castle Games
Wow
Capcom must have enjoyed working with Dead Rising 2 developer, Canadian studio Blue Castle Games. The publisher's just announced that they've bought the studio out right. The team will be renamed Capcom Games Studio Vancouver. We wonder if that's the name that will pop-up at the start of Dead Rising 2. Still, this cements Capcom's ambitions to...
News TGS 10: WHY HAVE THEY PUT ZOMBIES IN YAKUZA!?
Call it a kneejerk reaction, but when we read that the next edition of the Yakuza franchise - Yakuza: Of The End - was going to get zombies, we nearly punched ourselves in the balls
The one question running through our mind was, "Why SEGA? Why would you do this?" When SEGA revealed that initial Yakuza artwork, showing a wrecked and ruined...

Someone, somewhere is working on Resident Evil 6
This is a fact — it's Capcom's flagship franchise; there's no way it's not being worked on. Especially seeing as Capcom's God Keiji Inafune confirmed the game's not far off. The question is, will we see it at TGS? It's looking more and more likely. Capcom Europe's teased "four new game...
News You Want Valkyria Chronicles III? Sure, It's Coming...
SEGA's even gone to the trouble of "accidentally" announcing it in fact
While a TGS appearance of Valkyria Chronicles III has been teased for a while, an upload error on SEGA's part has seemingly spilled the full can of beans. See, this ".gif" time-table says nothing more than "Coming Soon" in a couple of the publisher's TGS...
