Manhunt 2 Box Art


A guy over at NeoGAF took this picture after visiting HMV. He claims it to be real, with over a dozen of boxes having the same message.

Final Fantasy IV remake headed to DS

Looks like SquareEnix is continuing its DS support by developing a remake of the original SNES classic, Final Fantasy IV.

Here is a scan:

New Wii exclusive: Soul Calibur Legends - info, artwork

- There will be old faces making an appearance, as well as new ones
- The game is an Action Adventure game, instead of a fighter
- It will use the Wiimote and nunchuk for fighting, though the fighting system won't have as much depth as the previous games, which is understandable since this is an action adventure game
- The more you fight, the more experience you gain, earning you extra titles which unlock more attacks

New God of War game - God of War: Betrayal heading to cellphones



First it came to the PS2, than PSP and now... cellphones?! That's right. It's a 2-D sidescroller, being made by a completely different team.

Hands-on impression from Destructoid:

'Of course, it's not just graphics that really make cell phone titles work. The most important part is how they play -- something especially true for action games. What's crazy is that not only did the SOE team create a wonderfully familiar feel to God of War: Betrayal, but they did it in such a way that makes the game actually easy and intuitive to play on a cell phone.
The game takes many cues from its big brothers, whether it be pushing a directional button several times to move a statue or pushing in different directions to pull off a finishing move. In essence, the same kind of quality and excellent gameplay you get in the console version is absolutely perfectly translated to the cell phone.
I don't know about you, but I'm one to never download games to my phone. If I need mobile gaming, then I just whip out my DS or PSP. But, after seeing God of War: Betrayal, I can say without a doubt I will be downloading this thing.'
