October 2008

Great news! 0verflow, the maker of School Days and Summer Days, has announced their next installment in the Days series, Cross Days. Although the game itself was announced many a days ago, real information and screenshots are finally available as of October 21st following the release of the latest issue of Tech Gian.

So, what is Cross Days all about? First, the game takes place in the same world as School Days, in fact, the story happens in parallel to School Days' plot. Of course, there will be many choices that the player can make, which will either lead to happy ending (most likely involving having "intimate relationship" with multiple heroines) or endings that involve blood and gore (NICE BOAT).

Another poorly edited by all-encompassing link-blog post! This time the subject in questions is BlizzCon 2008, which took place from October 10th to October 11th.

Aside from the new Wizard class and what not, one of the biggest surprise would be the new that Starcraft 2 will be split into 3 games...now they better be good, knowing Blizzard, they probably will be good, but still, three games, that's $150 total! Are they going to make a movie afterward and call it Starcraft: Advent Children?

The finalists for the 2008 Sense of Wonder Night were announced on September 16th. Never heard of Sense of Wonder Night? Earlier this year, Nintendo announced a new event that will take place during their annual Tokyo Game Show called Sense of Wonder Night, the Japanese equivalent of a cross between Independent Gaming Festival and Experimental Gameplay Workshop (the organizers said SoWN was inspired by the latter).

Just how awesome is SoWN? One of their criteria for entries states that the entry has to be "A 'terrific!' game, even though the reasons are not immediately clear: A game that at any rate gives a strong impression that 'this is terrific' as soon as you see it." How cool is that?
