News Here's Your First Look At Persona 4: The Golden On PlayStation Vita
Famitsu's released the first screens of Persona 4: The Golden -- a PlayStation Vita remake of the PS2 classic
The screens themselves are fairly low quality — the game's certainly not showcasing Vita's power like some of Sony's first-party content — but will delight fans of the series. Catch the full set over on Famitsu's official website.

News Catherine Sold 200,000 Copies In Its First Week
Bloody nora
When Atlus said it had enjoyed its best launch ever with Catherine, we weren't expecting numbers anywhere near the 200,000 mark. But that's exactly what Catherine pulled off in its first week on sale, which is a resounding success for such an unusual title, and a big "oorah" for folks that are getting a bit bored of Shooty...
News Catherine Breaks Sales Records For Atlus USA
Ever since the first images of Catherine leaked out of Japanese gaming bible Famitsu, there's been an intrigue surrounding the odd-ball puzzle title

Promising looking puzzle-platformer-cross-dating-simulation, Catherine, does not yet have a European release date

News Here's Everything That's Inside Catherine's Ostentatious Collector's Edition
It takes seven-minutes for the over-enthusiastic Atlus employee in this unboxing video to reveal everything that's included in Catherine's "Love Is Over" collector's edition
That's because there's a lot of stuff included. And while most of it might be junk, you've got to appreciate Atlus for releasing its game in a pizza box and including a pair of...
First Impressions Catherine on PlayStation 3 Demo
Video games can be quite immature
Even when they come attached with mature age ratings, the content inside can often feel like the opposite. Enormous guns, vats of gore and over-sized breasts are not necessarily indicative of what it means to be mature, in fact they are the antithesis. Few games capture the essence of adulthood. For all its faults,...
News Be Ready For Your Date With Catherine Next Week
If you're still not entirely sure what Catherine is all about, everything will be revealed next week
Atlus has confirmed that the game will receive a PlayStation Network demo on July 12th, so you'll finally be able to make sense of all the platforming, dating and sheep-people drama. Perhaps. The demo will be exactly the same as the one on the...
News As Shakespeare Famously Wrote: Catherine Or Katherine?
Personally we'd rather be with a girl called Katherine
Nothing against the Catherines of the world, but there's something a bit more exotic about the way Katherine looks on paper, isn't there? It stands out on the page like a misspelled word. It just looks better. Plus you can call her "Kay". And "Kay" sounds better than...

News Do You Ever Want To Get Married?
That's the question posed by the latest trailer of Catherine, which features the first ever footage of the puzzle-platformer in English
In truth, the trailer's a little bit goofy, with numerous "fans" discussing whether they want to get married. We quite like the guy that implies getting married would ruin his life. We also like the fat...
News Catherine Screens Aren't Always The Most Exciting, Are They?
While we continue to be of the opinion that Catherine looks properly amazing, we're just not convinced screenshots do it the greatest of justice
Looking at two similarly awkward looking characters talking about marriage doesn't exactly instill us with enthusiasm. But hey, at least there's cigarettes and mustard in this screenshot.</em>

News ... And The Catherine Demo Is Back On The PlayStation Store
The saga of Atlus' Catherine demo is almost as bemusing as the game itself

News Atlus Pulls The Plug On Catherine's PS3 Demo
Atlus has removed the PlayStation 3's Japanese demo of Catherine, stating the teaser was oddly in "limited quantities"
We're assuming this has more to do with the level of international interest more than anything else. With the PlayStation 3 making it so easy to create regional accounts, we're assuming the Catherine demo got slaughtered with...
News Catherine Demo Dated For January 27th Release On PlayStation Store
Atlus has finally revealed the anticipated date for the oft-teased Catherine demo

News Catherine Still Looks Balls-To-The-Wall Bonkers In Latest Trailer
We've given up trying to understand Atlus' intriguing cult title Catherine

News First Catherine Gameplay Trailer Tells Us Absolutely Nothing At All
What's Catherine? Looks like Atlus has finally given us our first taste

We know it's got sheep people, bimbos and dead bodies, but to be honest we don't know much else about Catherine, the upcoming PlayStation 3 title from Atlus
With the game roughly a month away from its Japanese launch, perhaps it's time we learned a thing or two about the NSFW title. Good news. The game's director, Katsura Hashino, has confirmed that...
News Gah, Catherine Looks So Bloody Amazing... We Want It Now Please
To be honest, we haven't got a clue what's going on in this latest Catherine trailer
Once again there are sheep people, toilets and giant contraptions. It's sounds like Catherine's going to be a bit psychological. From what we can understand about the game, the story revolves around the protagonist's involvement with two characters — Catherine and...
News Catherine Delayed Into The New Year In Japan
Catherine was set to hit Japan before Christmas, but Atlus has just announced that the bizarre title is set to be delayed until February 17th
It's hard to be too disappointed by this news (seeing as Catherine doesn't even have a Western release), but we assume some folks in Japan are crying over the lack of sheep-people this Winter. Still, at least...
News So, This Guy Completed Demon's Souls In Under An Hour
Demon's Souls is widely considered one of the hardest games ever made
Ever. This guy in Japan, "alternalw", finished the game in 54 minutes and 54 seconds. He's clearly mad, insane and a little bit genius. You can watch his entire playthrough on YouTube. Beware of spoilers. Beware of the insanity. We're going to have a lie down.
News Would You Like To Watch The Intro To Catherine?
Catherine
We've reported on it quite a few times over the past couple of months. We still don't know quite what to make of it, but we're desperately clinging onto hope that it will get localised in some way (sub-titles are all that's needed) so we can figure out what the sheep-people are all about. The game's intro is embedded after the jump. It...
News TGS 10: How About Another Catherine Trailer? [NSFW]
Atlus' upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Catherine, is so weird
This trailer from TGS is just as bizarre as the last one. Once again it's littered with sexual references, dead bodies and sheep-people. What else do you want us to say? We'd love to imagine the Japanese text provides logical exposition to all the bizarre footage, but we're not sure it...

News That New Atlus Game, Catherine, Is WEIRD!
We thought the concept art that dropped out of this week's Famitsu for Atlus' new PS3 project, Catherine, looked a bit strange
