Sora and Riku decide to mess with Jeff Bridges’ zen thing in these new images for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance from Famitsu. The included Tron Legacy World follows the plot of the titular 2010 film and includes Lightcycles, fighting upside down on ceilings, and hacking enemies by selecting codewords on your 2nd screen.
The game has a release on March 29th in Japan and will follow in the US and Europe later this year.

News on a followup to the popular horror title, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, has surfaced from a Joystiq interview. The new game will be called Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (amazing title!) and will be made in collaboration with thechineseroom, developers of Dear Esther, a Source game that is apparently art. It’s available on Steam right now, if you want to confirm for yourself whether or not it is, in fact, art.
Anyway, the new Amnesia will be taking place in the same setting as the first, but will tell a new story with new characters. Here’s how Joystiq describes it:
Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the “wealthy industrialist” Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from “a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy.” Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life.
This game already sounds amazing, and the Dear Esther developers seem like a great fit for this kind of game. I’ll be looking forward to shitting myself in fear when this game comes out.

Another trailer, this time for Saint’s Row 3’s second DLC, Gangstas in Space!
It’s like regular gangstas, right? You following me? But, BUT… these ones are in space.
Here’s hoping this one’s more of the insanity we love from Saint’s Row 3, and less Genkibowl VII.

This trailer for Borderlands 2, besides sporting some very listenable wubstep, is also very enlightening.
For one, it shows that Borderlands 2 is going to be more of what we got in the first title. This could be either good news or bad news, depending on whether or not you’re in the market for more Borderlands. It also announces a release date of September 21st, so there’s that. Any takers on how much later than September 21st the game actually comes out?
For me, I found the trailer to be a little underwhelming. For starters, the graphics seem very dated. It really doesn’t seem to me that the cel-shaded art style is holding up. I’m also not convinced that I want more Borderlands. It was a fun game, but without a much better story to back it up, I don’t think I want to jump back in.
Announced today, MISTWALKER’s totally awesome RPG, The Last Story, will be hitting U.S. shores this summer for the Wii thanks to XSEED. From the press release:
“I am very happy to be able to confirm that The Last Story will be released in North America,” stated Hironobu Sakaguchi, CEO of MISTWALKER. “XSEED Games has a reputation for bringing high-quality JRPGs to America, and I’m sure they will do a great job with this release too.”
No firm release date yet, just “Summer 2012.” I’ve been hoping that this game would come our way for quite some time now. For those who haven’t played MISTWALKER’s last RPG, Lost Odyssey, please go check it out. It’s one of the best RPGs ever made.
