D3 serving God Eater to North America in Q3 2010
Namco Bandai’s God Eater debuted to strong sales in Japan upon its release on February 4. Namco Bandai — or rather, its subsidiary, D3 Publisher — has wasted no time in announcing a localized version of the PSP action RPG.
The Monster Hunter-like God Eater, targeted for a Q3 2010 release, puts players in control of “God Eaters,” people fighting against the monsters that have overtaken the modern world. They do this with transforming magical weapons called Jinki — giant weapons that become beast-like when powered up.
While you wait for Q3 to arrive, why not try the game right now? You can download the Japanese demo from the game’s website.

Bioshock 2 coming to Japan, courtesy of D3 Publisher
Good news, Japan! D3 Publisher is localizing Bioshock 2 for you and, this time around, you won’t have to wait that long to get your ADAM-soaked hands on it. Andriasang reports D3 Publisher will release the 2K Marin, et al.-developed sequel sometime in early 2010 — presumably close to the February 9 US release date. We just hope the new Japanese ad campaign dials back the completely frightening a bit.

Hands-on: Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
As disastrous as the first game was, there’s no denying that the Matt Hazard concept has potential. The games industry has been around for decades now, and it’s ripe with material to poke fun at. Blood Bath and Beyond, D3’s upcoming download-only sequel to the first Matt Hazard, embraces the legacy of retro games by becoming one: this side-scrolling 2D shooter is unapologetically old-school.
Matt Hazard’s “in your face” attitude is immediately evident from the moment you see the difficulty select screen. You can traverse the game through “Wussy” mode, but real gamers will want to play in “Damn This is Hard” mode — with the most daring playing the Contra-inspired “F**k This S**t” mode, which kills players in just one hit.
Like its retail predecessor, Blood Bath and Beyond struggles to be innovative. However, at least this iteration of Matt Hazard succeeds far more at getting the basics right. This is a simple game: simply run around shooting enemies. Weapon selection is gone, as well. You can run over power-up boxes and use upgraded weapons (like flamethrowers and shotguns) with finite ammo.
