Promise, this is real. Sony have announced that, as of this Thursday, you'll be able to download Kratos as a playable character in Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. There he is above, rendered all cartoon-like, taking his one-under-par very, very seriously. Kratos' voice actor from the "proper" GoW games - T.C. Carson - provided the voice work for the cameo, and this cutesy God of War will even use the chain blades as a club. There's another pic after the jump, but no, this one won't make him look any less out of place. More »

Hot on the heels of yesterday's story comes this: The PlayStation 3 sales bonanza Japanese convenience store. While most stores discretely let players order consoles and games, this neighborhood shop wants everyone to know it has PS3s! Those banners read: More »

Camelot developed We Love Golf! needs a spokesperson. We Love Golf! has one! That's bikini model Waka Inoue, who is noted for having the same bust/waist/hip measurements as Marilyn Monroe. She's slightly on the wain popularity-wise (she is 27), but still one of the more famous idols. Expect her (and her Monroe measurements) in a slew of We Love Golf! ads. If Hot Shots Golf-clone plus Nintendo Wii plus curvy idol isn't a sure fire Japan hit, we don't know what the hell is. More »

We may be in Germany, but that doesn't mean we're going to ignore Japan's weekly soap opera of software sales. Most shocking? Mario Party 8 reclaims its number one position in the Media Create sales list for the week of August 13th to the 19th in a bloodless sales coup. Amazingly, Hot Shots Golf 5 is still hanging tough in the top ten, kind of impressive for a PLAYSTATION 3 up against 2006's New Super Mario Bros. More »

Retailers? Not the best source of information, but sometimes decent. Belgian retailers? No clue, so we proceed with caution. Earlier, Sony announced Hot Shots Golf bundles that slightly shaved some yen off the PS3's price-tag. I thought it was pretty cool. Others didn't! More »

Sony just announced two Hot Shots Golf 5 bundles for Japan. There are 20GB and 60GB versions, going on sale July 26th. Both include Hot Shots Golf 5, which retails for ¥5,980 (US $48.50). The regular open-priced 60GB PLAYSTATION 3 retails for around ¥60,000 ($487), and the 20GB version sells for ¥50,000 ($405). However, the Hot Shots Golf 5 60GB bundle will book for ¥61,980 ($503), and the 20GB one for ¥51,980 ($422). Factor in the price of the game, and you've got a default PS3 price cut that should entice customers in Japan. But what about North America and Europe, Sony? Brian Ashcraft More »

I always say you can never have too many big-heading anime people cheerfully trying to do the things that normal people do every day. The Hot Shots Golf series was an excellent example, and now developer Clap Hanz and Sony are bringing even more cute sports action to the PS2 with Hot Shots Tennis. More »

Akihabara retailer AsoBitCity shows that your ¥350 for this week's Famitsu won't go to waste on just cheats and previews. There are jubblies as well! Bikini model Yuuri Morishita gets a big pictorial in the magazine, which has been promptly displayed. I somehow missed this while flipping through the mag, but I did see that Gyakuten Saiban 4 got 9, 9, 9, 9 for its review score. It's all about priorities, folks. More »

Best part about flash games isn't just that they are free. Oh no. They are free games that often "remind" you of games you must pay to play. Take Golf Ace, a flash game that features big headed Hot Shots Golf-like characters. Looks aside, it's loads of fun and cut into my evening work load. Here's hoping it does the same for yours!

At Sony's "Play Is Changing" exhibit at the Sony Ginza showroom, the company unveiled its new PSP camera and hinted at its PSP GPS add-on. A poster mentioned that the the GPS receiver could be used as a "Virtual Caddie" with Hot Shots Golf to tell golfers how many more yards there are on real golf courses. This receiver is expected to be on display at this year's TGS and on sale in the Fall. There's also a big LocoRoco display, where Japanese site Game Watch reports many foreign tourists were checking things out. Hit the jump for pics. Brian Ashcraft More »
