Calculated carnage NIS America has finally released action-RPG titlePenny-Punching Princess. The colourful adventure, which launched in Europe last week, is now available in North America, with the publisher putting out a fast-paced launch trailer to celebrate. Penny-Punching Princess sees players in the adorably grumpy role of the titular Princess (and her pal Isabella), whose mad economical skills and wizard mathematical abilities allow her to take down waves of enemies through the power of financial manipulation....

When executives say too much With the impending release ofProject CARS 2, developer Slightly Mad Studios has firmly staked its claim in the simulation racing market. It seems ready to branch out a bit though, as a recent quote from a company higher-up indicates that it’s soon targeting the less-serious type of racer. AsEurogamerreports (and somewhere in the above-embedded video that is more than seven hours long), Slightly Mad CEO Ian Bell drops some not-very-subtle hints that it has secured the right to make aFast and the Furiousgame....

These new screenshots forNi no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witchare so pretty that they don’t even lookreal. But, for as great as they look, they’re nothing compared to seeing the game in motion. There are plenty of animated, cell-shaded, high-frame rate JRPGs out there, but none of them have ever looked like this, and that’s probably because none of them had Studio Ghibli helping out. Get a better idea of how lovely this game is inour new preview....

Oh boy oh boy oh boy E3 is closer than you think and one of the things I’m most excited to see at this year’s event, besides all those sweet new games, is theSplatoon 2tournament Nintendo announced not too long ago.

The festivities for Nintendo at E3 kick off June 11 with the opening rounds of theSplatoon 2 World Championshipstarting at 3:30 pm....

Spider-Man: Edge of Timewas shown off for the first time to the public here at San Diego Comic-Con. I gave Spidey the full workout during a preview event on Wednesday, both in his 2099 and Amazing forms. Some new time warping powers were shown off. It was just a small taste of how Amazing and 2099 Spideys will work together from different times, but it was just enough to show me how much this game is like last year’sShattered Dimensions,also from Beenox....

And it looks awesome SOE just released a quick video that answers the question, “what isEverQuest Next Landmark?” Well, it’s a game of exploration, monsters to fight, and building just about anything you want. The video shows off building a house and a tower, how archways and angles are easy to create, terrain alteration, and inside decoration and furnishing. I can’t wait to try this out for myself. The alpha forEverQuest Next Landmarkis supposed to be starting soon, and hopefully it’s actually as fun as it looks in these videos....

‘Toukiden Extreme’ AlthoughToukiden: The Age of Demonshas just launched this week on the PlayStation Vita in North America, Siliconera has uncovered a trademark filing for “Toukiden Extreme,” which most likely hints at an updated version somewhere down the line. It’s not a new thing forMonster Hunter-esque games to get updates with more monsters and content (in fact, it’s weird if they don’t), and evidentlyToukidensold fairly well in Japan, so it makes sense....
