The Awesome Giant Monsters Of Japanese Video Games

Godzilla and his atomic breath are one of the most recognisable metaphors for the atomic bombings of WWII — and they’re also icons of Japanese pop culture.

We have selected some of them, both niche and well-known, featuring battles with these towering beasts.


Lost Planet 3 Now Scheduled To Cool Things Off On June 28

Originally pegged as an early 2013 release, publisher Capcom has announced that Lost Planet 3 won’t be coming out until June. Specifically, it will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on June 25 in North America and on June 28 in Europe.


E.X. Troopers Isn’t The Lost Planet I Remember

E.X. Troopers is a spin-off title to Capcom’s Lost Planet series. Like the main series, it takes place on the thawing ice planet of E.D.N. III. Yet, even one single glance at the game is enough to tell you that this is not Lost Planet as you’ve seen it before.

Lost Planet 3 Shows Off New Enemies In Its New Trailer

Upcoming sci-fi title Lost Planet 3 shows off some of the gear in this new trailer. As someone pointed out on YouTube: If it’s so cold, why don’t these characters have headgear to keep their noggins warm?


I Had No Idea Lost Planet Was Also A Space-Age Japanese Music Video

There’s not just a Lost Planet sequel/prequel on the way, there’s also a Lost Planet spin-off called EX Troopers. And while the former stars Terrified Space Jesus, the latter is looking pretty damn neat.


A-Yup, Lost Planet 3 Shoots Its Sci-Fi Critters With An Old-Timey Rifle

Lost Planet 3 happens in space. More specifically, future space. And it’ll have the star-faring ships and unlimited-ammo pistols that make sense in a sci-fi series. But the threequel will also let you blast a centuries-old bolt-action rifle at those nasty Akrid. What’s up with that?
