Been wondering how you might feel about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts PSP title,Birth By Sleep? Wonder no more. The video above shows the game in action as you clobber some little blue guys. As expected, the game looks pretty (but that’s the PSP for you).It may disturb hardcore Kingdom Hearts fans to know that the game is about a new trio of heroes, having nothing to do with the beloved characters of the previous games....

Seems to still be making engines Back in September, Konami’s worldwide technology director Julien Merceron left the company after their reportedshift away from AAA development(which no longer appears to be the case). He was the lead architect onMetal Gear Solid V’smighty impressive Fox Engine, so for him to jump ship so soon after the game’s launch was somewhat of a surprise. Fortunately, it’s been announced that Merceron will be joining Bandai Namco, to do pretty much exactly the same as what he did at Konami....
Nintendo and Universal’s Illumination Entertainment reportedly nearing a deal According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment, the studio behindDespicable Meand, sigh, the Minions, are nearing a deal for a feature-lengthSuper Mario Bros.(presumably) animated film.

Deals valid until October 17 at 8:00am Pacific This weekend’sUS PlayStation Network Flash Saleis a lot to sift through. As is usually the case though, if you go down the line, you’ll probably spot an item or two that would slot nicely into your backlog. An easy standout for me isDownwell, which I’ve already played some on PC but not mastered by any means. It’d be nice to have on a console as something I could switch to on a whim while I’m already situated on the couch, beer in reach....
In an earnings call today, Activision announced that United Front Games’True Crime: Hong Konghas been pushed from a late 2010 release into 2011 “to give the development team more time to deliver the high-quality entertainment experience they envision for the game.” Infiltrating the Triads will have to wait, for now. When it comes to open-world games, I have come to learn that you can never truly have enough development time. They held off on doing anotherTrue Crimefor this long, so it’s probably best that they makeHong Kongreally count....
Or whatever monster metaphor you want to use Universal’s Monster Universe, not-so-lovingly called the Dark Universe, has lost its captains and is on hold. They had a plan. They really did. Universal didn’t have any comic book properties, and they didn’t want to risk spending a lot of money on adapting a risky book property or something, but they did want a cinematic universe. They saw the success of Marvel and DC (kind of) and they wanted some of that so they looked around their old franchises and decided that they’d take their classic monster movies and turn them into their own comic book universe....

With Sylvanas and Anduin at the forefront In 1994,Warcraftstarted with a simple premise: Orcs versus Humans. It was an age-old idea that built off the precepts from classic fantasy novels and tabletop games, and one that endured for decades into the zeitgeist MMO iteration that played off of the classic RTS series. 23 years later, Blizzard would announceWorld of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, an expansion that once again sees the horde and alliance battling it out for supremacy....
