It's official. Dragon Quest X has just been slated for a release on the 2nd of August 2012... in Japan. (A Thursday) And it is odd. The 'standalone copy' of the game, according to Andriasang, will require a 16GB or greater USB memory stick to...work. 0.o
As seen with Capcom's Monster Hunter Tri, in Japan, which charged $20 for 90 days' play online, Dragon Quest X will require a fee to play online. Pretty much standard practice in a country which is full of DQ nuts, which could cause the DQX servers to overload unless a fee is required. I expect that Square Enix will waive the fee in NA and EMEA regions, when it is released, going the Capcom way without alienating western gamers.
A Japanese launch date can only mean one thing- Dragon Quest X isn't far from hitting UK soil- it may be a couple of months to a year to see it grace our Wii consoles- but those with modded ones *Cough* us *cough* may get the japanese version a little bit early to toy around with! :D

Bethesda announces that the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim is to get Kinect support following a free patch to the game delivered via Xbox Live, slated for release in late April.
Before Filmflux goes into hibernation for a week or two, I thought I would post my review of the Playstation Vita. Enjoy...There are some questions for which many answers can be given. Is there a God? What is love? Why didn’t they ride the eagles into Mordor? One I like to ask people is, when you hear ‘Sony’ what do you think? Of course you will have fanboys whom reply with ‘Better than Microsoft’, then you get your average Joe ‘Blu Ray discs’ and then there are quite a large group of people who will say ‘$$$’. Yes, I am referring to the ancient tradition of costly Sony products.
It has been announced today, that the GAME group, the huge UK-based video game specialist retailer behing GAME and GameStation, Game Group PLC has gone into administration, with MJA Jervis/SD Maddison announced as its administrator.
It has also been announced that a total of 277 stores across the UK have closed their doors for the final time, meaning that over 2,100 people have lost their jobs in these hard economic times.
Namco is sailing a dangerous (One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP) again, delivering half the content in double the time with its newest (rather tasteless, and rather bad) One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP 2! (*gasps at the creative name*)
In the Land of the Rising Sun, both SP and the to-be-released SP 2 came on one cartridge.
It seems that Namco is hellbent on selling one game in two pieces- two episodes for the rest of the world, whilst in its home country it released both, ages ago, on the same cartridge. Hmm. Strange.
What do you guys think about it?
Since the first game in the series, launched in 1987, the Metal Gear series has become one of the most popular video game franchises ever, as I'm sure our very own Alex
will agree. In fact, art from the series will be showing at the Smithsonian in Washington DC from March 16-September 30th 2012 in its "The Art of Video Games" exhibition.
Today, Microsoft has confirmed that they will NOT be announcing any new Xbox hardware at E3 or 'anytime soon', hyping 2012 to be the year 'all about Xbox 360'. With a lineup of games like "Halo 4", "Forza Horizon", "Fable: The Journey" and more, Microsoft say that their '2012 lineup is [our] strongest ever', leaving Nintendo with a (probable) two-year head start into the forays of the eighth generation of games consoles with their Wii U console.

Welcome to February's edition of Filmflux Monthly Update! In this (slightly late, due to exams and such) monthly update, we'll be showcasing the best of the huge chock-a-block of Filmflux's content from the two months before this one! Simply click read more, scroll down, read and watch what we have to offer.
Before I commence the review of Assassin’s Creed Revelations, I’d like to give an impression of how I rank each game in the series (thus far) from least favourite to most favourite.
After Game Freak's Junichi Masuda's sly teasing earlier this month, the first ever sequel in the main Pokémon Franchise has been announced on today's (Japanese-only) episode of Pokémon Smash.
The game's contents haven't really been pushed out to the public yet, apart from the fact that the two main legendary Pokémon, Zekrom and Reshiram, will have new forms, as well as a new Pokémon Masuda affectionately refers to as "Black/White Kyurem". Masuda has left us in the dark about the game's specifics, and as a result we do not know whether the game will be a direct sequel or a modification- a la Pokémon Platinum.
Astute gamers who reckon that The Pokémon Company and Game Freak are running out of colours to choose for new Pokémon games have presumably had their emails left unanswered.
The two games (Pocket Monsters Black 2/ Pocket Monsters White 2) will be released in Japan this June, with a NA region release coming soon. The EU and AUS regions have been left in the dark at the time of posting.
