Fatal Inertia must have been a development nightmare for Koei Canada. Koei originally announced the Wipeout-style racer as a PlayStation 3 launch title. After appearing on the Xbox 360, nearly a year after the PS3 launch, it’s coming out sometime…

That’s QT is a curious blend of fashion design and business management. It looks simple and, as the title suggests, cute, but in reality is a complex and surprisingly deep game. It is so good, and so much fun, that I hope Koei decides to release it in North America. If it doesn’t, well, That’s QT is import friendly and can be played even if you don’t speak Japanese.

It seems like everyone has forgotten about Samurai Warriors 2. We’ve moved on to Dynasty Warriors 6 and Warriors Orochi while Koei is breathing life into one of their older titles with an expansion pack. Samurai Warriors 2 Extreme Legends…

Sengoku Musou 2: Moushouden (Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends) is extremely late to the Xbox 360 party. Koei released the Samurai Warriors 2 expansion disc on the PlayStation 2 last August in Japan. It was supposed to come to the…

Koei is giving fans of the crossover Orochi Musou series a sequel. Orochi Musou: Maou Sarin (loosely Second Coming of the Devil) is scheduled to come out on April 3rd in Japan. Besides the requisite addition of characters Koei is adding…

Nearly every Samurai Warriors (Sengoku Musou) or Dynasty Warriors (Shin Sangoku Musou) game gets a follow up. Koei isn’t shy about capitalizing on a base game, but with Samurai Warriors 2 they are trying a new strategy. Sengoku Musou 2…

The novelty of Nintendo DS training software has almost worn out its welcome with me. If I want to really learn yoga I’m content with taking classes or reading a book to brush up on my JR train knowledge. However,…

Every few months Namco Bandai is rolling out a new version of Gundam Musou in Japan. The PlayStation 3 version arrived in March 2007. In December 2007, Gundam Musou: International came out for the Xbox 360, which was essentially the…

The Harukanaru Toki no Naka de games are an interesting hybrid of the niche, visual novel dating games found in Japan and console RPGs. Essentially, each game puts you in the role of female lead who saves the world while…
