As Brian Ashcraft reported during the Tokyo Game Show in September, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor foregoes the pricey, complicated controller of the original game in favour of a slightly less convoluted control scheme that uses Microsoft’s Kinect and a real gamepad. More »
Take a look at the debut trailer for Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, coming to you from Gamescom in Germany. New details are hitting as I write this as well, so refresh this for an update. More »

Upcoming Platinum Games’ DS game Infinite Line is being co-developed by Tokyo developer Nude Maker and directed by Nude Maker’s Hifumi Kouno. Nude Maker? That’s an interesting name! And meaningful. The company spent a few years, cutting its teeth on erotic PC games. Says Kouno:
We’ve never seen Earthstorm. Thankfully, commenter Scazza has! And on his new TV at that. While watching it, he noticed something very, very familiar. He writes:
just watching this horrid B-movie about the moon getting hit by an asteroid when I spotted something fun filling in as some sort of control console in a NASA command-like room. I probably would not have noticed it if I had not have JUST got an HD-PVR today for my 3 day old 1080p Bravia. Anyway, its pretty funny how out of place this Steel Battalion controller looks, but then again, this movie is supposed to be a disaster movie but its filled with some of the worst CGI I have seen in awhile. It doesn’t help that Steven Baldwin is one of the leads.
And look at that, Scazza’s even provided a handy comparison! Let’s hope the Earthstorm producers work the Power Glove into the sequel. That would be so bad.
