It went quiet for a while but this game has just hit Japan. Here's the introduction!

For those who are still in the dark about release dates of recent games featured here, this is what the schedule looks like.

Packed list in time for Christmas!

Last week (23rd to 29th July)

Not much again, but there were trailers for White Knight Story and Endless Ocean to look at.

Trailers: Endless Ocean

Well, this is a surprise. I had a look at this on the recommendation (or more shameless bugging) of a blogger on the Guardian Gamesblog and it looks quite err deep (sorry). Certainly one to look out for. This is Endless Ocean (Forever Blue in Japan).

Trailers: White Knight Story

Finally, a new trailer for the possible Level 5 smash hit, White Knight Story! Do a search on Gametrailers for a better quality trailer. This little one just doesn't do the game justice! It does lack gameplay though. I guess Level 5 are holding out for the Tokyo Game Show in September.

Last week (16th to 22nd July)

A dull week for releases as Transformers goes all over the place. At least there was Echochrome to look at!

Trailers: Echochrome

Remember I mentioned Echochrome at E3? Well, here it is!

A week behind again...

Oops again! However, at least there's a ton of news to catch up on :-)

First of all, it was E3 last week. Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all had decent showings. Highlights for each of them include Microsoft showing Viva Pinata Animals for the 360 and Viva Pinata for the XBox360, Nintendo showing a new set of Wii peripherals, including a Wii Fit board and Sony, showing a new PSP and Echochrome.

Echochrome is a game that will confuse just as much as poor Crush did on the PSP. You turn the camera around to solve puzzles in a world of black and white. For example, if you want to get past a gap, you move the camera so a part of the scenery covers the gap!

Sony gave us some more news today though at their Playstation Premier event. Announced at the show were Nobi Nobi Boy (from the creator of Katamari Damacy), Disgaea 3 and Loco Roco for the PS3!

Last week (2nd to 8th July)

A pretty dead week for me really. This week's releases was nothing to shout about. I also made up for my strange absence by listing 7 trailers of Jeanne D'Arc and Brave Story, both due soon in the US.

Then, some meaty news came in that Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria would be reaching UK shores on September 7th (same time as Rogue Galaxy I might add). Finally, a trailer came out for new Square-Enix game, The Last Remnant.

Trailer: The Last Remnant

The first trailer from Square-Enix's multi-platform RPG, The Last Remnant, coming to PS3 and XBox360. Enjoy!

Valkyrie Profile 2 Dated for Europe

Square-Enix have finally set a date for the brilliant looking Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. The game, exclusive to the PS2 and already out in America for goodness knows how long, will be released in Europe on the 7th September 2007.

This is the same as an unconfirmed (but highly likely) date for Rogue Galaxy so if you have a PS2 and love RPG's, the wait for the next is almost over!

As I haven't been posting recently, I've missed out on a huge load of trailers for Jeanne D'Arc and Brave Story. It will take a lot of space to actually put all the trailers on the page so here are the weblinks to PSPFanboy's posts where you can see the trailers in full!

Last weeks (18th June to 1st July)

Oops :p.

Better late than never I suppose. It probably has something to do the huge problems in gaming. I also looked at the new releases (2 weeks ago)
