Chances are you haven't heard of this game but in a nutshell it is basically a 2 player 2D Prince of Persia wherein you fight over the priority of the screen and try to get to the opposite end. If I try to explain it now, this post might be as long as a review so instead I'll just show you videos of its gameplay.

From what I've heard, this can be played on a single keyboard so have fun yelling at your friends when you steal victory from their sweaty palms.

RGP #9 - Final Fantasy IV Battle: Duodecim Remix

"I am going to shove this lance up your righteous ~!"

Random Gaming Post #9

I originally had something else planned for RGP #9 but after hearing this for the first time in game I just HAD to share it.

I acquired a copy of of Dissidia 012 [Duodecim]: Final Fantasy the other day and as I was going through the first section of the story, I fought a mannequin of Kain from Final Fantasy IV. Going with the just the PSP's speakers on mid volume, I didn't notice the music right away. When I did, I was so astounded that I literally stopped for a moment to hear it. With my idiot self not controlling Lightning, the Kain mannequin got in a free hit. Lucky for me it wasn't an HP attack nor did it put me into break status.

The battle theme from Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorite RPG battle themes. I loved both the original and DS remake of it and this Duodecim piano remix has also touched my heart.

So Duke Nukem Forever got delayed... lol

Hilarious news, it has been announced that Duke Nukem Forever will not make its intended release date of May 3. De ja vu anyone? But don't fear, Gearbox is still saying that this is a real game and not some kind of decade long troll. The date has been moved to June 14 in North Amerca and June 10 for the rest of the world.

To make up for it, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford has given us this hilarious video.

Mortal Kombat kratos gameplay trailer

NetherRealms released a new gameplay trailer of Kratos in action doing what he does best. He looks right at home with blood on his face and the moves that will satisfy any Mortal Kombat fan.

The video shows ton of special moves, Kratos' X-Ray move and  God of War's famous quick-time events which is a good touch.

Kratos will be playable exclusively for the Playstation 3 version of Mortal Kombat when it comes out on April 19, 2011.

Resident Evil Revival Selection

Capcom has announced that a new PS3 and Xbox 360 title called Resident Evil Revival Selection for Japan. It is a compilation disc containing HD remasters of both Resident Evil 4 which will also include Ada Wong's "Another Order" mode and Resident Evil: Code Verinoca (Director's Cut). As of right now there is no news of a US release and the release date for Japan has yet to be announced. I think Capcom is aware of Resident Evil's success in North America and I'm sure they will release the Revival Selection disc soon. But wait, isn't Resident Evil called "Biohazard" in Japan? Hmmmmm...
