It's always nice to hear people talk about something with passion, and it's hard to find a team more passionate than Ninja Theory

The British developers have been beavering away on Enslaved for some time now, and it's really shaping up nicely. It's taken us a while to get excited about Enslaved, but everytime we see a new chunk of the game we get on board just a little bit more. The game has been..

Siliconera's got hold of some brand-new shots of Street Fighter X Tekken

The shots, released by Capcom, show Ryu and Chun-Li kicking lumps out of Tekken's Nina and Kazuya. Still seems weird. Looks proper awesome, though.

After yesterday's fantastic trailer, many have been wondering if Ace Combat: Assault Horizon would mark a reboot for the franchise

Namco Bandai's kinda confirmed as much in today's press release. Apparently, Team Aces wanted to create a game that not only told a compelling story but also presented the most explosive air combat possible. "For us, this is a rebirth of the Ace Combat series, and..

Phew

Good trailer? You bet. After a pretty lengthy hiatus, Namco Bandai's just confirmed the return of Ace Combat. Next year's Ace Combat: Assault Horizon will be the first game in the franchise to hit the PlayStation 3. Namco's confirmed single-player and online multiplayer modes for the game, but details are pretty tight right now. The clip's pretty intense, with a quirky Twitter message stating..

Tekken producer, Katsuhiro Harada, has dropped a bomb regarding Street Fighter X Tekken -- namely that the game will get debuted at GamesCom

After the official announcement at Comic-Con, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono informed us that it would be the last we'd hear about the game until mid-next year. But apparently, he was lying through his teeth. Sort of. Invites have been going out for the European..

The Black Phantom Edition of Demon's Souls is practically sold out everywhere in the UK

That's according to publishers Namco Bandai Partners, who are only aware of a few "dribs and drabs". "I can't give you a number, but what I mean by an 'amazing success' is that all the stock we built of the Black Phantom Edition has sold out (apart from dribs and drabs)," Lee Kirton,..

We told you about all the Tales content heading to the PlayStation last week

The information wasn't official. But following a press conference this morning in Japan, Namco's confirmed the existence of all three upcoming PlayStation titles. The first, is a new PlayStation 3 entry in the Tales franchise. There's no title for the game yet, though the company did debunk rumours that it will be called..

The latest issue of Jump has revealed a slew of new titles in the "Tales" franchise that are heading to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable

First up is a port of the Wii's Tales Of Graces, which will hit Japan later this year with some extra content added. That'll be followed up by a brand new Tales game on the PlayStation 3. There are zero details about the game as of yet, but it looks..

We love a good video game story

Story-driven single-player titles are our favourites. But as we proved this afternoon with our Getaway feature, sometimes poor gameplay can kill a good story dead. But Ninja Theory's top-man, Tameem Antoniades, disagrees. To a degree, anyway. He didn't always feel the same way, however. In an interview with Videogamer.com, Tameem reminisces developing a party game..

With all the excitement of Capcom's Comic-Con panel being attached to cross-overs, we almost forgot to mention the announcement of new DLC outfits for Super Street Fighter IV

The clothing pack is due this Fall and will feature a new alternative outfit for each character. Kotaku managed to snap a teaser of the new outfits which we've posted above. Catwoman Cammy? Sure.

As an onlooking Servbot watches Tekken's Kazuya kick the crap out of Street Fighter's Ryu, we can't help but feel that the upcoming  Street Fighter X Tekken cross-over heading to the PlayStation 3 is probably the best announcement since sliced bread

Sadly, the producer of Capcom's game, Yoshinori Ono, reckons the project is still some time off - citing a 2012 release date is on the cards. Ono said..

Street Fighter X Tekken

It's a God-honest video game. T'was announced yesterday. For realsies. And here's the game's debut trailer. It shows Street Fighter's Ryu facing up to Tekken's Jin Kazama. It's all inky and blotchy. It looks amazing. Can we wait to play this? No we cannot.

Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono has put an end to rumours regarding a possible Namco and Capcom cross-over; by announcing Street Fighter X Tekken (pronounced Street Fighter Cross Tekken)

The game's in development for the PlayStation 3. Joined on-stage by Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada, the duo proved the game's existence by playing a round of the game live on a PS3. Interestingly, while..

Namco Bandai's slapped a November release date on their upcoming ICO-esque title: Majin And The Forsaken Kingdom

The game, which is based around the lovable stone giant Majin (we bet he dies at the end!), will hit North America on November 30th, and is due in Europe soon after. It looks cute, if not a little derivative. Still, it might tide you over until The Last Guardian. And you can't really put..

As Alf Stewart would say: stone the flamin' crows

GameInformer's dropped a rumour of megaton intensity, claiming that Capcom and Namco are joining forces for two new games. No, that's not a misprint in our headline. Apparently both Capcom vs. Namco and Namco vs. Capcom are set to be announced this weekend. Whether they'll both come on the same disc — we can only speculate for now. In case you..

We're confident that Enslaved is destined to be one of this years great unsung heroes

Who knows, there's time for the game to get its plaudits yet — but based on pre-release anticipation, we're not convinced. Namco-Bandai want the game to be their equivalent of Uncharted 2, loft anticipations for a new IP indeed. But with Ninja Theory at the helm, anything can happen. Enslaved's a..

It's a rails-shooter on a motion control platform - how utterly predictable

But, there was a time when most people would go out of their way to get to an arcade with the latest Time Crisis game, and the franchise still holds a warm place in our hearts. So when you tell us you're bringing Time Crisis: Razing Storm, aswell as Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates to the PlayStation 3, we can't help but..

Ninja Theory's Enslaved is definitely one of those games that's been growing on us

Growing on us like hairs, or some other better metaphor you might choose to come up with. [Whatever - Ed]. Point is: it looks good. And it's coming out here in Europe on October 8th. Folks in the USA will get it October 5th. That's the same week, just a few days earlier. Do you people remember when Europe had to wait..

Enslaved's come out of no-where

Openly, we had no interest in Ninja Theory's adventure title. But a couple of trailers later, we're sold. All we needed was a release date to allow us to plan our time accordingly. Thanks to Eurogamer, we've now got that. Enslaved's hitting UK store shelves on October 8th. No official word on a US launch yet, but we're going to assume it'll be a "same week"..
