The above is the trailer for the latest Evagelion Game, Remake of Evangelion: SOUND IMPACT based on the movie remakes. It’s current in production for the PSP platform by Grasshopper.

Akiba’S Trip

Well this game looks interesting. The first game to features an almost real to life Akihabara, with the game setting on the street itself. Make no mistake, it’s a Akiba not some alternate universal or something.

The game’s name is AKIBA’S TRIP, a RPG advantage game for the PSP system. For now the game play is looking a lot like a scale down version of Yakuza.

Story wise… hmm… In 201x year, something happened leading to the start of the War between the Protector, the Maids and school girls?! And to survive?

Ok… in truth, I dunno… lol, the story will have to be something  to look out for in the future… For now, the Game is scheduled for an April 14th release.
