Vincent meets a beautiful girl named Catherine at his local haunt. After his brief love encounter with this lovely woman he is thrown into nightmares where he must escape grotesque monsters as he climbs up a tower to safety. These nightmares reoccur ever night and he must come face to face with his fears before they consume him.

This is Atlus’ first foray into high definition. Although this is not the HD Persona game I am looking forward to I am still excited by this title. I really enjoy all of the work Atlus puts out and this strange tale just captures my interest and imagination. Hopefully it will live up to my expectations. This mixture of visual novel and block climbing will hopefully be amazing.

Based on the biblical book of Enoch, this game tells the story of a priest named Enoch who hopes to stop a flood from destroying all of mankind. He is aided by a guardian angel named Lucifel and by four archangels in his quest.

El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron just oozes style. This game has an artstyle all of it’s own. Bizzare, twisted, and outlandish are words used to describe this venture. This is no typical bible game as angels wear jeans and use cell phones. Varying perspectives from side scrolling to arena boss battles make up the bulk of this game. This game looks like a real experience and I can not wait to play it.

Grasshopper Manufacture to create a Neon Genesis Evangelion Video Game

Grasshopper Manufacture, led by Goichi Suda, has announced that they are going to be making a Neon Genesis Evangelion video game. Grasshopper has been known for past titles such as, No More Heroes, Killer 7, and its upcoming title Shadows of the Damned. The game will be based off the new Rebuild of Evangelion movies, which is a remake of the original series. The title has been revealed to be an odd combination of a rhythm, action, and music game. Famed Akira Yamaoka, musical contributor to the Silent Hill franchise, will be mixing the music. This whole production will be overseen by Goichi Suda himself. The title has been revealed to be 85 percent finished and is to be released this September in Japan for the Sony Playstation Portable.

A rhythm, action, music game created by Grasshopper Manufacture sounds like a very odd combination. I have doubts about how well this game will be, but its always interesting to see what Suda can come up with. Here is a link to a trailer for the game – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_G57bGI-BI&feature=player_embedded.
