It’s time to put on a NerveGear headset and Link Start into the world of ALfheim Online for Sword Art Online: Lost Song! The game is available to purchase and play on PS4 and PS Vita today!
The latest chapter of the Sword Art Online game saga was developed under the close supervision of series creator Reki Kawahara and features an entirely new story that is split from the light novel and anime series. Kirito and his friends are in a new area of ALfheim Online called Svart ALfheim, and are keen to be the first to beat ALO! Along the way however, they meet members of a mysterious new guild, Shamrock.

Or is something more nefarious afoot?...
Attention, racing enthusiasts! I’m Guilhes Damian, co-founder of Brazilian indie game studio QUByete. We are really happy to announce that our game HTR+ Slot Car Simulator is coming to PS Vita today! So this is a great opportunity to talk a little bit more about the game.
This is the fruit of the combination of our passion for racing cars, old toys like the classic slot cars (or “autorama”, as we call it here in Brazil) and our desire to improve the racing games experience on handheld devices. In a certain way, we always asked ourselves here at QUByte if racing games on these platforms could have simpler and more user-friendly controls. Thus, our goal was to create something that completely eliminated the directional controls so we could focus on optimizing other aspects of the experience. And we thought slot car races would be perfect for that.
HTR+ Slot Car Simulator was designed to make the...

Siberia. The word itself has become shorthand for intense suffering. There’s a reason that even the mere threat of being shipped to this remote, bitterly inhospitable region under Stalin sent fear through every Russian… and it wasn’t just because of the salt mines. But Siberia can also be a picturesque place – one of the most remote, serene places on Earth. Danger is always just a step away, though, even with mountains worthy of a postcard serving as a backdrop. Lara Croft, however, isn’t one to shy away from danger – and that’s particularly true in her latest adventure, Rise...

Ever dreamed of conquering the world as a kid? Well, neither did I, but life works in mysterious ways sometimes. Our first console release, Eiyuu Senki — The World Conquest, invades PS3 on November 24th. As long-time SRPG fans, this is a dream come true for our team. During the nearly two years we have put into localizing the game for English-speaking audiences, we’ve paid special attention to transferring the game’s original charm into English.
Our starting point was the same as it always is: that we’re keeping the original Japanese audio in the game. Eiyuu Senki has more than 40 famous voice actresses who pull off stellar roles, so replacing them was hardly an option.
Fans of Japanese games and anime would be hard pressed to not find...
