Hopefully you will enjoy this weekend in your nice and cozy homes by now, everyone needs a chance to relax for a bit. Especially when there's so much going on around you. So get your hot lemon tea ready, stretch your legs on a footstool and try to cherish the time with (or without) your family.

And for all those lonesome, brave gamers out there:
You guys rule, lets rock on no matter what happens, since there will always be a game or two that we will be able to share with each other!

Dungeons of Dredmor: Review

Don't you just know that situation, when you see what seems like a good deal yet you're not completely convinced you'll have an actual use for the product? Even worse, when you learn about how exciting said thing seems to be, and you regret not taking a closer look before? Well, that describes my first encounter with Dungeons of Dredmor.
Thanks to the Steam Holiday Sale and the accompanying event, I got to play the game for the first time - and got addicted.

To my defence - DoD got released on the same day as Cthulhu Saves the World, which was an instant-buy for me. Thus, my indie-needs were satisfied for the time being, and I moved on, laughing about mighty Cthulhu and his groupie.
In hindsight, I shouldn't have disregarded the Dungeons of Dredmor, which the over 6 hours I've put into the game since Tuesday evening have clearly proven.

Playstation Vita - Ragnarok Odyssey Opening

Aside from the fact that the games and peripherials are selling extremely well and exceed even Sony's expectations we have something nice for you all to watch this time!

In previous news we already covered the fact that the new Sony handheld will recieve a more or less special game. At least for those who weren't able to play the DS and 3DS titles.

Atlus reveals next game title!

. Hack will return for a new round and a new threat in "The World"

It is yet unknown for which platform the game will appear but CyberConnect2 made the dream of most fans of this franchise come true.
"Another visit in The World"

Matsuyama Hiroshi, the head of CyberConnect2 said in an interview in Famitsu that he cannot reveal which hardware that new .hack game will run on. But he mentioned that the graphics are being rendered in real time. He also acknowledged that the new project has taken it's turn for photorealism after the anime-influenced look of previous titles.

Is that G.U.'s Haseo or is it not? That question has yet to be answered

»One passage of the Epitaph of Twilight«

Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has raised finally her army.

Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow do they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.

Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.

Never to return, the shadowed one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.

BUY. THEM. NOW.
Not kidding, these two games are too excellent to pass on them!
Both Alkaid and I absolutely love these little gems, they're worth every cent.
And believe me, they're dirt cheap today. You've got over 22 hours to buy them with that discount, so hurry. They won't eat your hard-earned cash without giving you a fantastic experience in return.

Chantelise comes along for 1,99€ / $2.49 while Recettear (which will last longer) costs only 3,74€ / $4.99 today. Yes, fair pricing for european customers, isn't that nice?

Grab the demos of Recettear and Chantelise on their Steam-storepages and try them yourselves!

Both games come with a charming taste of humor and heartwarming scenes, and I can only recommend them as christmas presents for people interested in gaming, no matter how old they might be. They're also fitting gifts for your kids, siblings or cousins.

A note apart from the actual games:
Carpe Fulgur is really doing a great job localizing these games, and there's more to come.
If you appreciate the effort, please spread the word to your friends, family or random strangers on the internet, show them that these games are worth the money and support Carpe Fulgur in their Holy Quest to bring us awesome doujin games to enjoy!

Namco Bandai did another neat fandom game for every Tales player out there. This time it's a FTP (free to play) browser game "Dice Adventure".
The Game will be out in 2012 and judging from it's webpage, it might be possible that there are RPG elements included once more.

Playstation Vita VS PSP Comparison

Here you can see what PSP games will look like on your Playstation Vita.

In the setting menu screen, you can toggle bilinear filtering on and off, set the color space to PSP or Vita, toggle between rear and front camera for PSP games that use the camera, and set the right stick mapping.

The right stick mapping let you map the PSP's analogue nub, d-pad or action buttons to the Vita's right stick. For Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, you'd select the d-pad, which would map the game's camera control to the right stick.
