Got round to watching Makoto Shinkai's "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" after picking up ADV's "The Shinkai Collection" DVD set. Before I watched 5 Centimetres per Second, I had decided to avoid his works after being disappointed with Voices of a Distant Star. Then after watching the movie out of curiosity and being impressed by...

Nintendo has revealed its first batch of 13 DSi Ware titles for their DSi console with the prices ranging between free and 800 yen (US$9). It looks like some of them are "lite" versions of games that are already on sale, though. Take "A Little Bit of Magic Made Fun" for example. It comes with three of the magic tricks that the full game comes...

Aniplex is having a "Persona Music Campaign" giving Persona fans a chance to buy all the P3 and P4 soundtracks together as a package.

Persona 4 came out Friday in the US and Europe will be getting it soon too in Spring so, what better time to talk about Persona 5 now eh? I don't think there's really a need for a P5 petition because I'm sure Atlus will be continuing the series for a long time. I remember seeing a chart where they stated they're increasing their investment in...

I really enjoyed the first Trace Memory on the DS because it really made use of the handheld's features for all the puzzle solving. There was no voice acting but the presentation and story were good. Now a sequel is heading for the Wii known as "Another Code R - Kioku no Tobira" or, "Door of Memories". Taking place two years later, Ashley...

I suspect all pre-orders for the DJ Max Black Square LE must be filled up by now and those who still want it will have to wait for the "entrepreneurs" to put up their copies on Ebay. Or maybe this DJ Max Trilogy Pulsar LE will interest you? As Pentavision's first standalone PC title Trilogy is, as the name suggests, a combination of previous...

Been wanting to replace my full sized 15" Acer laptop a long time ago ever since seeing all the light-weight laptops people have been carrying around campus. Lugging around the 2.5kg laptop is not fun on flights or when you have big books in your bag to carry too... So, having had a play around with the recent range of "netbook" in the high...
