Anarchy Reigns

Running a blog that you hope one day turns into a legitimate gaming site that could become your full-time job isn't easy with only two people who take on as much news as possible, as well as write reviews and the occasional feature. True we have two feature writers, but that's all they do. It's not like they're getting paid. However, in such situations it's easy to get behind on stuff that you really don't want to, such as Platinum Games' series of teaser trailers for their new game Anarchy Reigns. Despite the opening, this new game is actually the topic of this article rather than a cry for new writers (I wouldn't mind it, though).

While Stephen has been mostly MIA for one reason or another, the only news I have managed to discuss is Sony's new hand-held and that CoD parody. As the biggest, and kind of only, huge fan of Platinum at the O and E I am kind of ashamed. In fact, I thought I had played all of their games until just now when I discovered they also released a DS game. Discounting that, though, I have played and loved Mad World, Bayonetta, and Vanquish so I consider myself a huge fan. Imagine my excitement when I saw this a week ago.


Recognize Jack from Mad World? Oh wait, you don't because NO ONE BUT ME PLAYED IT!

Since this teaser's release all of these characters and more have received their own individual trailers, which can easily be found by a trip to youtube. Cue my excitement and such. While the game is slated for a 2011 release, we don't really know anything beyond that... other than it looks like a beat-em-up. In the meantime, why don't you go read my incredibly amateurish review of Vanquish here and consider buying it.
