Rock of Ages Rolls Through the Ages in Latest Video

A new teaser video has been released for Ace Team’s upcoming rolling-rock tower defense hybrid, Rock of Ages. The video shows off the games unique play and beautiful style. But why take my word for it when you can check it out for yourself?

Still can’t tell what the game’s about? Then maybe this description from Atlus will answer your questions:

Two castles stand opposed, bridged by an uneven, narrow pathway. One is yours, and you’re quite fond of it. See how the parapets catch the sunlight ever so stylishly? The other is your enemy’s; they’re a jerk, and their crappy crenellations are driving down your property values. Also, their castle sucks, justification enough to try crush it using an enormous rolling stone. Unfortunately, they’ll have a chance to plan and build up some security, doing everything they can to derail your razing rock. Get through their defenses and you’re one step closer to crushing their unsightly tower (see also: their hopes and dreams). But don’t take your turn for granite. Once your turn is over, your opponent’s begins…

The game should be available this summer, but details regarding platform and distribution have yet to be revealed.

For What It’s Worth, ‘Catherine’ Western Release Confirmed

Atlus has confirmed that the Japan-only not-for-Western-release game Catherine will be released in the West this summer (on PS3 and 360), an announcement that’s sure to make Jap-pop junkies on gaming forums everywhere giddy with delight.

The game features, well, god knows what. It’s an odd title, most often described as an erotic-horror game and noted for it’s extreme difficulty. Erotic and horror are two genres I have no interest in combining, personally. But it’s apparent that other people enjoy it. Or at least they say they do to maintain their ‘hardcore gamer cred.’ Whatever.
