Catherine Demo: A First Look at Atlus’ Latest Title

Back in February, Atlus released the demo for Catherine in Japan. While the demo was not up for long, those who already had a Japanese account had the chance to get it. If you'd like to be able to download Japanese-exclusive items, demos, and games, you can do so by setting up a Japanese PSN account: look on Google for a guide, as there are a few good ones out there.

Zipper's SOCOM franchise has been a fan favorite since the original SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALS released on the Playstation 2 in 2002. The last title in the series, Confrontation, however, left a sour taste. SOCOM: Confrontation, developed by Slant Six, received extremely negative reviews when it was released in 2008. With SOCOM 4 releasing within the next month, does Zipper show that the franchise is returning to form?

This weekend, Nintendo sent the 3DS on tour to many locations around the U.S., hoping to give everyone a chance to check out their newest portable device. I was able to head over to San Francisco’s famous Pier 39 to get some hands-on time with the 3DS and also got some fan reactions to their first experience with the handheld. The verdict: it was a mixed bag, with some people loving it right away and others being very skeptical.

Day Two, PAX East: The Demos

Day two of this journey was much smoother in that I was able to arrive at the Boston Convention Center early, and because my luggage arrived from the airport at 2 A.M. Semi-rested, I began to tackle the entire Expo floor and get some hands on time with some extremely cool demos.
