Fighting games aren’t as popular as they used to be, right? Don’t tell that to Namco Bandai, as the company has put extensive resources behind Tekken 6,  including ponying up enough money for Monday Night Football ads. Namco Bandai has also confirmed the shipping of 2.5 million copies of the… Continue Reading »

Namco Bandai’s Tales of series hasn’t been developed in North America, Europe and other regions the way it has in Japan.

The PlayStation Home has been updated with three new spaces to new stores at the mall and more stuff than you can shake a stick at. And like a 3-year-old in the candy isle at WalMart, I’m hopped up on digital eye candy and screaming my head off for a… Continue Reading »

We are only a couple of days away from the madness of E3, so you know what that means… press releases, teaser trailers and rumor-baiting galore! Just the other day, I received word from Namco Bandai about their featured games at the show, to include Tekken 6, Dead to Rights:… Continue Reading »

The latest PSP firmware is out! Don’t go running to perform an update though. Unless you’re willing to pay for an Asian or Japanese copy of one of the three versions of Idolm@ster SP, you won’t be able to get your hands on 5.05. The latest update from Sony is… Continue Reading »
