Project X Zone is an upcoming collaboration from Capcom, Sega, and Namco. The game is an role-playing sim and features characters from all three game makers. The characters square off in groups of two and duke it out.
Thrilling! Day two of Namco Bandai’s drip-fed PR continues. In this instalment of irritating corporate promotion, Namco Bandai added the words “action adventure” in Japanese, along with three question marks.
Pac-Man is having a hell of a career second act in fighting games. Of course, he is one of the free characters in Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation 3.
