I’m a bit tired of all these Kickstarter things (seriously, we get swamped with them!), but I feel like a dick for not taking notice ofRepublique— mostly because I know the guy who’s making it, and he’s a stand-up guy! He’s also known to most of you as the chap who helped makeMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots. Ryan Payton’s new project isn’t quite as huge as that particular game, but it’s interesting nonetheless....

The full game’s out on October 16, in case you’re wondering. Konami never bothered to announce it, so you might be unaware. The demo will feature two zones and is single-player only....

Fans are still astoundingly furious atSilent Hill: Book of Memories, shocked as they are that a spin-off game would, y’know,spin off. I love me some righteous consumer outrage, but the presumptuous disgust for this one is truly stunning, especially since Ireally liked what I played. In any case, here are some new screens for the hack n’ slash PS Vita adaptation. Some will rage, but I remain hopeful for what is currently my most anticipated handheld title of the near future....

We’ve also got our game of the show, and our community choice awards....

While most of the Samurai Shodown trailers to date have depicted stoic samurai or stealthy ninjas, this latest offering is the mammoth monstrosity, Earthquake. Every fight needs a chonk, an Samurai Shodown’s Earthquake was perhaps the chonkiest. Gargantuan in size compared to other fighters, Earthquake is the series slowest, but perhaps most devastating warrior....
