China gets a League of Legends restaurant

Of course, it’s completely unofficial China is the land where dreams become a reality. Well, at least if you dream small and don’t mind bootlegs. A couple of days ago, aLeague of Legends–themedrestaurantopened its doors to the masses in Chongquing, China. Situated in a shopping mall rather than a dingy back alley where hobos yell at passers-by — questioning their parenting and possibly their sexuality — the restaurant plays host to cosplaying staff, a menu with food named afterLoLchampions, and a set-up that allows patrons to play someLoLwhile they eat....

D3 brings Earth Defense Force 2017 to Vita Sept 27

I’m happy to defend our Earth from giant bugs whenever necessary, as theEarth Defense Forcefranchise makes it fun. We told youearlier this monththat Japan would see the release of a PS Vita port of Xbox 360 titleEarth Defense Force 2017this Fall, and in that post we predicted that D3 would probably bring it our way a bit later. No word on that yet (what’s the hold up?), but you can always import or download the digital version, and you shouldn’t have much trouble with the language barrier with this type of game....

Famitsu love the 360, gives its games tons of high scores

Western gamers are often aghast at the sight of Japanese game sales charts. Series likeGears of War,Halo,GTA, andCall of Duty, all sell in the multi-millions in Europe and the United States, but are lucky to move a fraction of that in Japan. It’s always made sense to me that a culture with no military, a freakishly low crime rate, thousands of years of focus on abstract “cartoonish” fine art, and an overpopulation problem would not immediately gravitate towards games about criminals/marines/space marines with plastic-realistic faces violently interacting with other human beings in crowded virtual cities and/or jam-packed online servers....
