News Caesar, Blackbeard, and Kuma Star in New One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Trailers
A terrible trio
We're rapidly approaching the Japanese release date for One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 now, and as such, we don't have many more character trailers to get through. But seeing as we've posted just about every single one up until now, we can't possibly stop when the end is in sight. This week, we get to see newcomer Caesar in action,...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse Servers Should Be Working on PS3, PS4 Still Being Tweaked
The saga continues
We're going to go ahead and create a new Dragon Ball villain if that's all right. His name's Server, and he's the main bad guy of the current saga, in which Goku and the gang try to stay connected to the Dragon Ball XenoVerse servers, only to be booted after just about every mission. This is Server's doing, as he tries to stop the...

News Dragon Ball XenoVerse's Server Issues Should Be Fixed Very Soon
Senzu bean
Dragon Ball XenoVerse has had a bit of a rocky start. By the sounds of things, publisher Bandai Namco wasn't expecting the support here in the West that the game has received, as its servers have been flooded with new players since the title launched in North America and Europe last week. And while that's a good sign for the release's...
News Sunsets in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Look Lovely
Going for a stroll
CD Projekt Red gave GDC attendees a quick new look at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last night during Nvidia's press conference, and, as we've come to expect, it looks rather nice. Barring a bit of combat at the end of the demo, there's not much action to see, but at least now we know that the game's sunsets have been created with...
Do want
Regular readers will know that we've been ranting and raving about Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth for a while now.

No anti-gravity training required
It can be tough being a Dragon Ball fan, can't it?

Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This appears to be caused by some sort of problem with Sony's service, but the company has stated...
News Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Continues to Look like One of Vita's Most Promising Games
Ultimate, if not mega
We're not going to sugar-coat it -- we're absolutely desperate for Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth to make it overseas.

Our interest's been piqued by the...
