Worst game title in recent memory? FolksSoul. There isn't even a space! Say it a few times out loud. It's truly rotten. No wonder they retitled this PS3 game for the Western market — though, Folklore isn't really that much better. Though, the developer certainly was banking that the game would appeal to both Western and Japanese gamers. Folklore producer Eric Fong says: More »

PS3 title Lair is getting a newfangled name for Japan: Rise From Lair. It's not unusual for titles to get localized for release — for example, take FolksSouls which was retitled Folk Lore for the West. No word whether the game will be retitled for the West, but geez, we hope not! Rise From Lair sounds like a poorly titled sequel to Lair. Brian Ashcraft More »

Irritating thing about MotorStorm in Japan? No online. Irritating thing about Resistance online? The games were server based. So living in Japan meant that I'd only play with Japanese folks — Which is fine. But, you know, sometimes you want the death matches to have an international flavor. Sony just sent out an email saying that Resistance will be on region-less servers now, meaning Japanese people can play online with North Americans and Europeans. Other details? Sony also mentioned that a FolksSoul (Folk Lore) will be getting a playable demo starting June 1st, and the Japanese version of MotorStorm will *finally* be getting online. Guess I shouldn't have sold back Resistance. Guess I should buy MotorStorm! Brian Ashcraft More »

Unknown Realms. Monster Kingdom. FolksSoul. If there's one thing Game Republic and Sony aren't lacking in for their PLAYSTATION 3 action RPG, it's names for the project. They got names comin' out of their folkin' eyeballs. More »

Once upon a time, upcoming PS3 game FolksSoul was called Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realms. Then somebody (dunno who) probably decided that that title was too generic. So, they decided to change it to something different and stupid — Hence, the current moniker FolksSoul. Not only is it annoying in its own right, just look at that kooky spacing! More »

Worst. Title. Ever. Originally, dev Game Republic's PS3 title was Monster Kingdom (meh). Then it was dubbed Unknown Realms (vague, but decent). This week's Famitsu unveiled the game's new and final name, Folks Soul: The Lost Folklore. Just look at how awful it looks in print! And say it out loud: I just bought Folks Soul. What do you think of Folks Soul? You digging Folks Soul? It sounds like a bad compilation CD. A really bad one — Like one with Donovan, but without Dylan because they couldn't afford for the rights to his music. It sounds that bad. For those not familiar with Folks Soul (ungh), the game follows young Ellen as she goes to a mysterious town to meet her dead mom. The biggest mystery, though, is why Game Republic couldn't give this game a decent name. Brian Ashcraft More »
