I won’t pretend to know what this game is all about but thankfully there are things in the world like the Xbox Live Marketplace. I’ll finally be able to see what all the fuss is as a demo for Namco Bandai’s Beautiful Katamari arrives!   I’ve also included a video of the intro to Beautiful Katamari so you can get a glimpse of the game.
Beautiful Katamari is set to release this Fall for the Xbox 360 with more new features than you can roll onto a single Katamari. Joining the party are a bunch of new cousins with their own unique animations and personalities, as well all-new levels to explore and new items to roll up. For the first time ever, the series also heads online, where up to four players around the globe can compete against each other in frantic multiplayer matches. Offline, players can still compete with each other or put aside grudges and work together, rolling one gigantic Katamari in Co-Op mode.
The Xbox 360 is about to have an exciting love affair with the RPG genre. I say that it’s about time especially when it’s a love affair with an RPG that looks as beautiful as Namco Bandai’s 360 exclusive, Eternal Sonata. Most of you should know that a comment like that from me is worth its weight in gold because I don’t usually smile at the genre.  The new screenshots are taken from the game’s fourth and fifth chapters and offer gamers a glimpse of Eternal Sonata’s lush and vibrant visuals, eclectic characters, and action-packed combat system. (yes that was from the press release)
Screenshots: Eternal Sonata Brings Down The House
Featuring an intuitive and strategic combat system that keeps the action flowing and takes into account elements such as light and darkness, an intriguing story told through real-time cutscenes, an unforgettable cast of characters and incredibly
detailed environments to explore, Eternal Sonata is set to deliver one of the most engrossing RPG experiences of the year for the Xbox 360.
Eternal Sonata releases exclusively this Fall for the Xbox 360. You can view the latest Eternal Sonata trailer here on Unscripted 360. What say you RPG fans?
Get ready to take to the skies with Namco Bandai’s latest, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. The Bringing It Home campaign continues with a demo of Ace Combat 6 now available in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Developed by Japan-based Tri-Crescendo, Eternal Sonata follows the adventures of famed composer Frederic Chopin as he travels through his own dream world filled with colorful characters and stunning locales. In a land where music influences both combat and exploration, Chopin sets out on a journey not only of self-discovery, but also one of redemption.
Also of note, I’m trying out a few different video uploading services. This is Veoh and the quality is much better than YouTube and SoapBox so you may see this from time to time. Here’s my Veoh Channel to keep track of the videos/trailers I post.Â
Are you ready to take to the skies? If you remember my first post about this game making its way to the Xbox 360, then you know I am.  Namco Bandai announced today that its highly anticipated flight action title will hit store shelves on October 23, 2007. (a week before my birthday) Exclusively for the Xbox 360, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation brings the popular Ace Combat series to the next generation with a massive multiplayer online experience, photorealistic high-def graphics, an all new story, and brand new gameplay that includes features like the Allied Support System and Dynamic Operations System, that radically change the way missions can be completed.Â
“Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation is the most robust Ace Combat game to date and will be a killer flight action game to own on the Xbox 360 this Holiday Season,” Makoto Iwai, Senior Vice President and COO of Namco Bandai Games America Inc. said. “With some of the most incredible and realistic HD graphics ever seen and extensive online multiplayer modes, there will be no other game out on the market like it.”
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation will re-define the flight action genre as players will be able to take their planes online for the first time ever in the series, to compete in adversarial and team-based dogfights. The power of the Xbox 360 allows for a totally immersive living battlefield, where players will find more aggressive and smarter enemies in larger numbers than ever before. Calling upon allies with the new massive-scale Allied Support System will be the key for survival against such powerful foes.
It’s set to retail for an estimated price of $59.99. Launching on the same day, the exclusive limited edition Ace Combat 6 ACE-EDGE Flightstick Bundle has an estimated retail price of $149.99. I’m pumped for this game! I’ve been waiting to take to the skies with some real action since I can’t get my Crimson Skies next-gen fix. I hope Ace Combat 6 doesn’t disappoint. I’ve played AC 5 on PlayStation 2 and I loved it so my hopes are high. Are you ready to fly?
It’s better to have flown and lost than never to have flown at all. That’s all I have to say to Sony about the recent news taking flight around the interweb today. Namco Bandai has apparently flown its Ace Combat 6 to the Xbox 360.  IGN speculates that it may even be an Xbox 360 exclusive. (originally reported by Famitsu)
So that makes the second of the 2 franchises I had followed on the PlayStation now headed to the Xbox 360. (the other being Devil May Cry) Perhaps I should have another ‘Case of the Mondays’ like yesterday because it seems to have prompted some incredible news or at least I like to think it did. Looks like I’ll be taking to the skies on Xbox Live with one of my favorite flight franchises! The image used in this article is from Ace Combat 5.
