In the dark future of Omega Quintet the world is being overwhelmed by an evil force and the last vestiges of humanity—some 20,000 souls—huddle together for survival. Time for an idol group dance number!

Three years ago, a rather... naughty Japanese-made console SRPG turned quite a few heads when it arrived in North America. Now, Record of Agarest War is back and headed for the PC.

Last year Aksys Games gave many Western gamers their first encounter with character pillow covers and breast mouse pads with Record of Agarest War. Unfortunately the game packed with these goodies wasn't particularly good. Second time's the charm, right?

In the future, all wars will be fought by Japanese anime women wearing revealing battle suits. For the console wars the future in now, thanks to Hyperdimension Neptunia.

On July 29, PS3 title Hyperdimension Neptunia was released in Japan. Late last week, Record of Agarest War 2 hit Japan. Hey, wait a sec... There's something familiar, and it's not just the game covers.

PlayStation 3 owners with a deep, deep appreciation for the art of the Japanese role-playing game will be delighted to learn that NIS America will bring Trinity Universe to North America and Europe this summer.

Aksys Games has launched a placeholder website for Record of Agarest War, the "soul breeding" Japanese strategy RPG that is completely distracting me with its teaser image. What were we talking about again?

Cross Edge is the ultimate fan service game where characters from Capcom, Gust, Namco Bandai, Idea Factory and Nippon Ichi all collide in an epic turn-based role-playing game.

Japanese game makers Idea Factory, Gust and Nippon Ichi Software have teamed up for a new PS3 role-playing-game called Trinity Universe. Trinity, geddit?

PS3 role-playing-game Cross Edge features characters from game players Capcom, Gust, Idea Factory, Namco Bandai and Ippon Ichi in turned-based battles and cosplaying.

Being a gigantic fan of the Japanese RPG and knowing the appetites of said fans, I am half tempted to just toss these new Famitsu scans out onto the site and then head for high ground to avoid the ensuing flood of drool, but I'll be nice.
