The big winner this week was VF5; while not scoring as high as Virtua Fighter 4 before it, it still received a very good 35/40. Also surprising was the 30/40 given to the new handheld Medal of Honor for the PSP. Traditionally, western first-person shooters have not been well-received in Japan.

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
favourite fighting series ever(alongside SFII,Fatal Fury,Samurai Showdown and KofF), so it's good to see the game is up to par with AM2's previous offerings :]
just hope the devs don't balls up teh 360 version, that would REALLY get me mad!

That loooks good. Even the ever soo biased Gamespot may have to give this game gold. Im sure IGN will. Im still pissed at Gamespot after a 9.0 to final fantasy 12 and 8.5 to Resistance both incredible bogus reviews. Then to turn around and give saints row on 360 a 8.7 lol are they kiddin. Well that fanboy has long since left gamespot so hopefully we will start seeing a lot less unbiased reviews.
R34GTR, youre exactly right
I agree, that is just plain ignorant, FF12 is one of the best RPGs of all time and if you haven't played RFOM both single play and online than you are doing yourself a disservice as a gamer.
I owned Saint's Row and that game is full of bugs and really can't hold a stick to any game in the GTA series.
back to the article
VF5 will be incredible, it's sad it won't be released for the 360 in japan because it would have helped 360 sales. I wish VF5 had an online mode. I will be buying the PS3 version myself because the PS3 controller is more confortable (in my opinion).
i more into soulcalibur at this point. can't wait for a next-gen version. i still think they should collaborate on a huge scale fighter with characters from all of the series. tekken, virtua fighter, street fighter, king of fighters, doa, mortal kombat, killer instinct, ect. never happen, but 1 can dream.
