Are you a PlayStation Vita owner craving a new game? Are you also a fan of dungeon crawlers? How about an anime infused dungeon crawler on the Vita? If you answered yes to any one those, then today is your lucky day! Ray Gigant has just launched on both US and EU PSN networks as a digital only title. For $29.99 what more can you ask for?

No, that isn't a typo. SNK Playmore is now just SNK and with that, also announced that KOF XIV will land in the US on August 23 for the PlayStation 4! When initially announced last year, the game didn't look so well, but weeks and months later, the game looks great. While we do miss the traditional hand drawn 2D look from the previous 297 versions, it will not stop us from choosing one of 50 fighters to beat up others with! Also, a "Day One" edition will be housed in a Kyo designed steelbook and a classic Kyo costume will be available for the 1st week for free! Full Press Release After the Break!

The game that started the game series and anime is now available for the 1st time in English with bonus content. Play through the Heavenly Host Elementary with all the original art and voice acting as well as multiple endings! Available on Steam, The Humble Store and GOG.com for $14.99 and it's UNRATED by the ESRB. Full Press Release After the break!

Hardware Nirvana [ hahrd -wair nir- vah -nuh] 1. A state characterized by freedom from or oblivion to pain, worry, and the limitations of hardware  set forth by restrictive ecosystems. It is a beautiful thought isn’t it? Pick the device you want. PC, Tablet, Phone. Don’t worry about whether it has Android, Windows 10, Windows Mobile, or iOS. You don’t worry because you know that all the software you use will be available and easily installed. But can it be done?     

If you have been on this site for a bit, you may or may not remember "The Vigilante Diaries." Initially released as 2 webisodes on the now defunct Chill.com, I was a huge fan, so I was initially disappointed that 1: it didn't make it's crowdfunding goal to continue the series and when 2: Chill.com went under. While I know Christian Sesma and Paul Sloan were hoping to bring it back, I have heard nothing more in a long while. So consider me surprised AND excited when the PR landed in my inbox about a feature length movie being screened later this week! Well, enough fanboying out, full press release after the break

June 7th is so far away for this HD remake of Vanillaware's PS2 classic, but it seems so worth it. Enjoy this new trailer and preorder the game on PS4, PS3 AND PS Vita!!
