The curious thing about Lost Planet 3 is that it abandons what I always thought were the staples of Lost Planet.

This week at E3, Sega released a new trailer for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Uncensored, in all its super-deformed glory.

Aksys are releasing an anime-styled “sports” game for the PlayStation 3.

Aksys provided a more specific release window for the adventure game today.

Aksys will publish the game as both a retail and download title, they announced this week.

Before I jumped into the game, I watched an event scene shown from the eyes of my character. He was marked for death and with the last of his strength he crawled towards a fleshy book.

Toybox CEO Yasuhiro Wada assembled an all-star team for his new game Project Happiness. Nobuo Uematsu is composing music for the title and Pokémon illustrator Atsuko Nishida designed the game’s characters and the Sprite.

While Final Fantasy looks more like an action movie with each installment, Final Fantasy Dimensions is a throwback to the series’ 16-bit glory days and it’s made by Final Fantasy IV designer Takashi Tokita.

Demons’ Score also has a touch of wackiness. The stage I played put me in control of a girl with a huge afro dressed in a disco outfit. (Also, see the ridiculous costume on the right, you’re really going to fight in that?)

One of the main features in Kingdom Hearts 3D is the drop system, which forces players to switch between Sora and Riku when the meter runs out. It’s a mechanic, Co-Director Tai Yasue said, that adds tension to combat.

Rejoice.

Here’s a fresh look at Luigi’s Mansion 2, now called Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.

Nintendo released a new trailer for Paper Mario: Sticker Star at E3.
