Shaders, skirts and character models, oh my! Look, it’sBloodstained. WhileRitual of the Nightisn’t quite the same whenIga himself isn’t demonstrating the gameplay to you, I suppose it’s nice to see tangible evidence of the game as a work in progress rather than heady ideal. This is what$5.7 million in crowdfundingplus whatever capital was raised outside of crowdfunding gets you. Look at those shaders! Admittedly I got bored after about 20 seconds of looking at a stationary character model, but I’m not rushing Iga to finishhis dream gameand don’t mind thumb twiddling until things get even more put together....

This morning,we brought you wordthat the ESRB had ratedDead or Alive Paradiseon the PSP and admonished it for being “creepy voyeurism.” Since that story broke, the North American game rating board has pulled its summary of the Tecmo Koei title, and apologized for its inappropriate remarks. The ESRB is supposed to remain objective in its summaries, but the rather critical tone of the original rating violated that goal.
