Who Will Publish Killer is Dead?

Killer is Dead
Despite last year’s Lollipop Chainsaw partnership between Kadokawa Games, Grasshopper Manufacture, and Warner Bros., the North American publisher for Grasshopper’s next release stands to surprise us.

The Internet buzzes with news that XSEED Games has registered three domains recently, namely killerisdead-game.com, killandlove.com, and loveandkill.com.

With XSEED’s Jimmy Soga listed as the administrative contact for these sites, it seemed worth knocking on his inbox about the revelation today, to which the response was –

“we cannot confirm or deny that we are publishing Killer is Dead in North America.”

So, there you go kids.

Trailer Park – Killer is Dead

Killer is Dead
Maintaining the momentum of a very busy 2012, Grasshopper Manufacture’s next release for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has been heating up the Internet this week, and now includes a trailer, which you can catch below.

With an aesthetic that seems to evolve the cel-shading style of yesterday with a bloody noir sensibility and a play style that appears to follow in the footsteps of No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw, the only question aside from “when can we get our mitts on the game?” would be whether Grasshopper can bring fresh cuts to their signature style when it seems to retread familiar ground.

Stay tuned on that one I suppose, and catch the trailer below.

Pandora’s Tower Arrives This Spring

Pandoras Tower
Following on the successful North American release of The Last Story, XSEED Games has dispatched word that the last of Nintendo’s import holdout trilogy will be arriving in North America for the Wii in Spring 2013, giving the Wii one last kick right about the same time everyone expects to be distracted by new Microsoft and Sony consoles.

The Big N has given XSEED exclusive publishing rights to Pandora’s Tower in North America, with the game having already released in Europe last year.

Pandora’s Tower is, of course, the classic story of a young man slaying monsters so that his love can devour their flesh in order to stave off a curse transforming her into a monster.

The View From Primordia

Review Primordia
The world did not come to an end last Friday, but odds are that one day, our species will be wiped off the face of the planet, and we will be survived by naught but the machines we made. That reminds me – Gamesugar wishes you and yours a merry Christmas and the happiest of new years!

Anyway, Primordia is an old-school point and click adventure game that imagines such a scenario, wherein robots of various levels of technological sophistication exist in a post-human society where man takes the role of divine creator whose existence is disputed.

What truths will be revealed in this land of rust and light about the time before robot?
