I had some play time with this title at E3 and I have to say, if you like playing mages and using magic in RPG’s then you’re in for a real treat. Since from what I heard there’s over a few thousand spell combinations to work with. Of course, if that’s not your bag, there’s always brute force and sword styles to work with.

It’s an interesting trailer, give it a watch.

Visionary director, Guillermo Del Toro, is working on a number of games with a “big game company.”

“We’re going to do games that are going to be technically and narratively very interesting,” Del Toro told MTV news. Coming from the man behind Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone, that “narratively” part just got a whole lot more interesting.

Especially considering del Toro said, “in the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games.” Considering how genius his films are, we can make a safe assumption that del Toro will be the one to direct that game and it will be one hell of a game.

Engadget is reporting that a Nintendo representative told Bloomberg Japan the retail price and release date of the Nintendo 3DS would be revealed on September 29th.

What does this mean?
It means that the rumor mill starts here! We can’t speculate too much based on this very small tidbit of information, but we can look at precedent: Nintendo’s most recent handheld release date announcement, the DSi.  The DSi was announnced to release in April of 2009, in February of the same year, – about a two month difference.

At best, we can hope for the same schedule, meaning an early December street date, or perhaps black Friday, if Nintendo is playing towards the American holiday shopper mentality. Of course, We could always fallback on the only other “release date” we have: March 2011, the end of the fiscal year.
