Last night NIS America had a “Spoiler Party” and announced a few new games for North America. First on the list is Cladun: This Is an RPG.

It’s an RPG.
Cladun has an infinite amount of randomly generated dungeons so it’s different every time, and each of those dungeons has 99 randomly generated floors. But if that’s not different enough, you can create your own characters, as well as the final boss of the game. The graphics editor also lets you customize your own movement animations. You can create up to 64 custom characters, and trade them with friends.
The gameplay is real-time, with running, jumping, blocking, and casting spells, and you can hack and slash your way through the random dungeons with up to three other friends.

Cladun takes place in a world called Manakaz. It’s a sort of gateway to every dimension, as well as every random dungeon. People from all over the universe find their way to Manakaz, either looking for treasure, monsters, or sanctuary. Eventually you’ll try to make them all join your party, or just keep creating your own custom characters.
Although you do your dungeoncrawling with just one character at a time (or more if you’re playing co-op), you still organize a party of heroes to support your “main character” by using a spell called the Magic Circle. You can swap main characters at any time, and have up to 8 subs in the Magic Circle. It’s a magic bond of sorts that connects you and your subs, so even though they’re not in the dungeon, they still act as human shields for you. They’ll take damage first, and they’ll die for you first. Each slot in the Magic Circle will give your main character different bonuses, and the characters will also level up different stats, so you’ll need to move them around a lot if you want to beef up all their stats.

Cladun: This Is an RPG will be released exclusively through the PlayStation Network on September 7th.

The Final Fantasy creator says in his blog that he has the "strong" feeling that The Last Story – Mistwalker's game for the Wii – might be the end for him.
The developer is currently working on the Nintendo-published RPG, although the game doesn't have a U.S. release date at the moment. In his blog he says that everyone at Mistwalker is pouring "120 percent" into the game, and that he gets the strong feeling that this might be his last project.
Sakaguchi spent 15 years with Square on the Final Fantasy franchise before starting Mistwalker in 2004. Since then, despite the high-profile Xbox 360 RPGs Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, Sakaguchi and Mistwalker have yet to produce a bona fide hit.

You may get burned for the umpteenth time by pre-ordering Sonic Colors before the reviews are in, but at least you’ll get an awesome hat out of it. Reminiscent of the Scribblenauts “Rooster Hat” bonus, this Sonic hat is the worm on GameStop’s hook for purchasing either the Wii or DS version of the game.
The hat will be handed over for both online and in-store purchases when the game launches. If recent history serves as any indication, it may be easier to justify spending the money if one thinks of the game as being the pre-order bonus for the hat.

A new Ratchet and Clank game didn't debut at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo like many people (including myself) thought it would, but that doesn't mean fans have nothing to look forward to this year. Wildstorm Comics is bringing this galactic duo to comic books on September 8. Writer T.J. Fixman and artist Adam Archer are collaborating on a new story that will span six issues.
In this tale, Galactic President Qwark calls upon Ratchet and Clank to look into a universe-spanning mystery. New foe Artemis Zogg is stealing planets. What is he doing with them? What of their inhabitants? Wildstorm doesn't hold back in saying that Artemis is Ratchet's "most capable adversary to date." I know most video game comics fare as well as video game movies, but I'm a sucker for them. I can't wait to see how this story pans out.
