Valkyria Chronicles 2 gets screens, we post them

We found a small selection of screens on theJapaneseValkyria Chroniclesblog, and since we’re such nice chaps, we’re posting them here. With Dale North away on business, we have nobody to translate the Moon Speak, so unfortunately you’ll have to read all the Japanese text yourself. As you’re able to see, it’s obviously not quite as gorgeous as the PS3 original, but it still looks pretty good for a PSP title. Just a shame that the move to PSP has cost the game its beautiful hand-drawn style....

10 times the Scooby Gang were the real villains of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy The Vampire Slayeris a beloved series known for its cheesy one-liners, stylish wardrobe, and “Big Bads.” I adore this show. For a program that debuted the year I was born, it holds up remarkably well—for the most part. Across seven seasons, we watched the Scooby Gang grow from awkward high-schoolers to apocalypse-stopping baddies. As such, we can’t expect to watch a group of kids ascend to adulthood without a few growing pains....

All aboard for Train Simulator 2013

I’ve taken the same train route back and forth from my house to Glasgow since I was 16. I’ve spent a fair chunk of my life on a train but despite this, I’ve never seen the appeal in theTrainSimulatorfranchise. The upcomingTrain Simulator 2013might change this. The game is boasting a “Career System” which will score your driving and post to global leaderboards, and sounds kinda interesting to someone who always viewed these games as just for mucking around with....

An RPG draws near! Tombs and Treasure

Summer, 1989. I was twelve years old and would basically play anything given to me in the shape of a Nintendo cartridge (I feel lucky now that some cunning bully didn’t find this out and craft my demise cleverely concealed inside a copy ofThe Legend of Zelda.) One day while perusing the selection at my local game store, I discovered the box forTombs and Treasure, an Infocom game where I could apparently explore deserted ruins in Chichen Itza....
