The 2002 PS2 title,Boku no Natsuyasumi 2has received a fan translation. Surprisingly, this came out before an anticipated fan translation of the original PS1 game. Previously,Boku no Natsuyasumi 2was only released in Japan on PS2 (later ported to PSP). For that matter, the entire series never really left Japan. Part of the sudden rush is due to more Western awareness of the titles, especially in the wake of Action Button’ssix-hour reviewon the title....

And that’s gonna be my cue to play again [Update: Update 1.12 added photo mode to the PlayStation 4 version ofDeath Stranding. Once it’s installed, you can pull up photo mode in the game using the left-hand side of the touchpad.] It’s hard to keepDeath Strandingoff my mind given the world’s current state of affairs. I’ve been meaning to dive back into Kojima’s haunted world – I still have several preppers to rank-up, and I can’t leave them hanging forever – but right now, I’d rather play something lighter....

Think you can handle swaying spider webs? The Frostbite 3 engine shows its stuff in this new trailer forDragon Age: Inquisitioncovering the game’s stunning landscapes. Those leafless tress, that shimmering water — I’m impressed. This kind of visual fidelity is all well and good so long as there’s a real gameplay incentive, though, and there are undoubtedly fans coming inwith skepticism after the last installment. In ablog postaccompanying the video, producer Cameron Lee makes the usual frequently promised but rarely realized claims about a true living open world....

I’m rather looking forward toFar Cry 3, having enjoyed its predecessors despite their less-than-subtle flaws. If absolutely nothing else, these games offer locales that I always find myself wanting to explore for a little while longer, only to look at the time and feel absolutely ashamed of myself. If these trailers are anything to go by,Far Cry 3should have an interesting narrative. Not necessarily “good,” just … interesting. Oh, and don’t go watching thissemi-NSFWvideo in front of children or the elderly: there are somevoodoo breasts, as Jim has lovingly said....
