"This years GOTY award for the Playstation 3 is named "Lowest Install Time" for two reasons. The first is that we are fans of irony, and the second is that Allegedly Speaking does not condone the handing out of compliments without some form of backhand attached to it. With that in mind, here are your nominees..."

""The fall of the JRPG in large part is due to a lack of evolution, a lack of progression," Zeschuk said. "They kept delivering the same thing over and over. They make the dressing better, they look prettier, but it's still the same experience.

"My favorite thing, it's funny when you still see it, but the joke of some of the dialogue systems where it asks, 'do you wanna do this or this,' and you say no. 'Do you wanna do this or this?' No. 'Do you wanna do this or this?' No. Lemme think -- y..."

Demon's Soul? Really?"

"“While it seems that not every copy of the guide is affected, and the specific cause of the issue remains unclear, Atlus always strives for nothing less than the full satisfaction of our customers. Therefore, we will soon launch a program to replace defective strategy guides,” reads the official release.""

"If you still have not had a chance to purchase Atlus’ PS3 exclusive RPG Demon’s Souls, you will probably have a hard time getting it now since most GameStop and Best Buy stores around most area are sold out! Calling numerous GameStop stores across the nation, they’ve stated that Demon’s Souls is sold out and has been since its release last Tuesday.
As many people are eager to get one of the best RPGs on the PlayStation 3, is it too late?"

"Atlus U.S.A., Inc., looking particularly supportive, have launched a community-driven Demon's Souls wiki on the game's official website, intended to serve as assistance for newcomers and struggling players of the upcoming groundbreaking Action Role-Playing Game (RPG) experience for PlayStation 3. And with Demon’s Souls being considered a very challenging title, it’ll most likely be needed by many."

"Atlus Inc.’s Demon’s Souls for Sony Corp.’s Playstation 3 ranked in the top 10 sales at U.S. retail this week on strong demand for the title.

On Mon., the Demon’s Souls Deluxe Edition SKU ranked as the No. 9 best-selling product in Amazon.com’s Video Games division.

The title held a 46 percent sales increase in the same period."

"Armored Core developer From Software is teasing something which will be revealed in eleven days. The only clue they offered is this blue cube.

Tenchu Go? Another Another Century's Episode? Don’t jump out of your chair or anything. From Software’s last countdown was for a slew of PS2 to PSP ports. We’ll find out what this is on August 20, unless Famitsu scans leak it first."

"From Software is a strange and fascinating developer. Mention the name and Armoured Core is what usually springs to mind, or occasionally Otogi, but when it's not making mech games From's output encompasses a vast range of extremes - cutesy co-op platformer Cookies and Cream, Tenchu, card-battler Lost Kingdoms, horror adventure Echo Night, broken, miserablist cult series King's Field. And this, the most interesting PlayStation 3 exclusive I've ever played."

Demon's Soul, the PS3 exclusive hack and slasher by the people at FROM Software has received not just one but two of its very first reviews from Japan. Famitsu has given the game 9, 7, 7, 6, equaling 29/40, and Dengeki awarded it a more positive 95, 85, 85, 85, adding up to 350/400. Details on why it was given these scores is still scarce.

Remember how Sony promised 11 unannounced PS3 titles to feature at TGS? The same titles which have been strangely absent despite one or two here and there? Well the full list of titles has finally been revealed. And it turns out we've all been tricked, or rather tricked ourselves. You see Sony said they were unannounced titles, but never that they were new titles. These games had yet to be announced to appear at TGS, so there never really any new games to begin with, the large majority of th...
