    From 1 to 4 players will be able to battle it out in a Vs, or 2 players will be able to play the Story mode co-op style.

    Here's the Prologue:

    A long-long time ago,
    there were humans and goblins.
    At some point, humans became more prosperous than goblins.

    However, recent years,
    All of a sudden, goblins started to attack human villages,
    and people started to fear for their lives.

    Yes, the worry became real.
    Goblins attacked the castle.

    The kingdom was in the crisis. The king said to the princess,
    `Take the sacred sword! You can do it! Take the sword and run`

    When the princess touched the sword at the high altar, by king’s word,
    The room of the altar got bright light, but…
    The castle fell…

    The humans vs. goblins war was over.
    There was a burglar searching for treasures.
    Allie, the burglar, found the princess protected by the sacred sword under the debris.
    She said,
    `Let’s run away before the goblins find you!`

    The story of the adventure of the Princess Knight Sorange starts here!

    Kinu Nishimura did the Character design. She used to work for Capcom on various Street Fighters and also on 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.

    As you can see the Princess has a huge sword, some cool looking gauntlets and the weather is good enough for clothes to be mainly optional.

    The music is by ACE, comprising of Tomori Kudo and CHiCO who did the music for Xenoblade on the Wii.

    The gameplay is 2D side scrolling, but with 3 depths of playing-field (called "rails"), so you can move from the front to the middle and back of the screen.

    You can Lock-On to goblins which will double the power of the attack.

    There's a Burst system based on collecting Mana to restore an MP gauge which when called upon will deal out 3X damage or even 6X when combined with an attack skill.

    Levelling up will open up new pathways/quests in the Story mode. Finishing the quests will unlock up to 4 new characters, in addition to the 4 available from the outset. It is expected that the unlockable characters will have different play-styles. In addition, there will be character customisations unlocked, perhaps different weapons.

    Co-Op and Vs appear to be Wi-Fi only, although there's an online Ranking system. 30 extra enemy characters will be availble in Vs play!

  • Radiohead KID A MNESIA Exhibition - Report
    by Adrian Purser
    Appearing recently on digital storefronts, this digital exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary re-release and bringing together of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums. It's been made in collaboration between the band and Epic Games, though it's also very quick to tell you that it is not a game, epic or otherwise. That, I think, is a mixture of nervous expectation-setting, alongside its creators selling both games, and what they've created, short.
    Unless you're one of those sorts...

  • Datel Freeloader Review - Action Replay Gamecube Region Free disc
    by Charles R
    Once upon a time, there was a Freeloader. It was late, as usual, but everyone waited with baited breath, because it promised much.

    And so it came to pass, the Freeloader finally arrived, and oh what gifts it brought. The ability to de-zone everyone's Gamecubes. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. It was welcomed with open arms.
    Datel, after many delays, have now released their de-zoning disc. Twice. The f...

  • Goldeneye N64 Retrospective
    by Archives
    Describing the greatness of Goldeneye isn't the easiest task in the world. If you were to show it to a gamer who has recently been showered with PC First Person Shooters such as Far Cry, then they'd scoff at the low-polygon landscapes, the poor digitised textures of Robbie Coltrane and the frame rate equivalent to the IQ of a table leg. They'd be missing the point though, as levels such as "Surface" are the forebears to Far Cry's grand vistas.
    Which leads us nicely into one of the reaso...

  • TGS 2003 - Tokyo Game Show Report
    by Archives
    As a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Did you ever dream of going to a game show in Japan? I'm sure it's something most avid gamers can associate with. On Sunday the 28th of September, my wife and I headed towards Makuhari messe from western Tokyo, a journey of 2 hours. When we finally ...
