I've been quite curious about Freedom Wars ever since I completely misjudged what sort of game it would. So when I discovered that Sony had a
playable demo booth set up at this year's Jump Festa, I had to
try it out.Read more...

This summer, Alisa from Namco's monster hunting game God Eater Burst is getting her own figurine. It's not very subtle! And at ¥8,190 (US$101), the 1/7 scale figure is not exactly cheap, either. More »

Namco Bandai's God Eater might look like Capcom's monster hunting series Monster Hunter. That doesn't matter. The game is popular, and thus, Namco Bandai is making another one. More »
Namco Bandai's God Eater might look like a Monster Hunter knock-off, but it's a very successful Monster Hunter knock-off.
Besides custom clothing, GOD EATER allows players to customize their bullets...
Namco Bandai's God Eater debuted to strong sales in Japan upon its release on February 4. Namco Bandai -- or rather, its subsidiary, D3 Publisher -- has wasted no time in announcing a localized version of the PSP action RPG.
The Monster Hunter-like God Eater, targeted for a Q3 2010 release, puts players in control of "God Eaters," people fighting against the monsters that have overtaken the modern world. They do this with transforming magical weapons called Jinki -- giant weapons that become beast-like when powered up.
While you wait for Q3 to arrive, why not try the game right now? You can download the Japanese demo from the game's website.
We like to consider ourselves open-minded when it comes to new culinary experiences, but we confess that we've never had the occasion to dine upon a god. We've heard that it's a delicious (and sizable!) meal -- in fact, on the latest episode of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain described god-meat as being "light and airy, like aged pork, but with divine properties." Japanese gamers (or PSP owners with a loose comprehension of the Japanese language) will be able to find out for themselves when a demo for God Eater launches on November 26. The demo for the Namco Bandai-developed action-RPG will be fairly substantial, offering 10 missions, character customization and a small sliver of the game's opening story sequence. It will also support four player co-op in the demo's non-tutorial missions. The demo will be added to the Japanese PSN on Thanksgiving and will also be available on the game's official site. Between those two options, we're sure you'll find some way to snack on a few celestial entities later this month.
