”Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI Coming to NA PCs
I'm really more of a Records of the Grand Historian girl myself, but Romance of the Three Kingdoms — much like The Water Margin — is one of those classic Chinese works that's going to outlast us all. To prove the point, Koei has announced that they're bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI to North American PCs. PS2 owners and people willing to slog through traditional Chinese or Japanese PC versions already had the opportunity to immerse themselves (yet again!) in the world of ancient China. After the apparent success of Warriors Orochi, Koei felt the time was right to bring the RTK's eleventh volume to North America on 29 July so even more people could take a stab at politics and war in the Six Dynasties period.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online Launched
I admit it, I don't get how they select English titles for these things and/or why they don't just use 三國演義 instead of 三國志, but be that as it may: yesterday marked the Japanese launch of KOEI's Romance of the Three Kingdoms Online. It's the first product produced by their Singapore branch, and it is (shockingly enough) an MMORPG set in Han Dynasty China. For now, it's a Japan-only release, to be followed by ' localized launches in select territories around the world.' Full release after the jump. More »The 'Ghostly Eroticism' of the Sims
While the heyday of the Sims has passed, Kieron Gillen has posted a (lengthy) piece on 'Sex and the Sims' over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun - an essay that was supposed to be included in a project that was cancelled a while back. It's a meditation on (of course) sex and the Sims, but more broadly about connection and interaction with games. Well worth a read if you have the time, even if you're one of those people who never quite got the appeal ... More »

Guitar Hero Gets My Chemical Romance DLC
Three song's $6.25. Sure, if you're a fan of My Chemical Romance, that may not be too high a price to pay. But more than $2 a pop seems absolutely ridiculous to me. Activision really needs to start rethinking their pack prices with Rock Band looming in the not too far distance.
The pack includes "Teenagers," "Famous Last Words" and "This is How I Disappear" as performed by My Chemical Romance Which seems to mean they're not covers, which is nice, but next time, maybe try $1.50 a pop or so.

Nintendo, Capcom Employee Porn?
Adult video maker Plum has a series of hardcore flicks called "First Time Amateurs Live." Here's the hook: They're young women who've worked for major Japanese corporations. Women who've apparently worked for Nintendo as a secretary (link NSFW), a Capcom PR lady (ditto) and Makuhari Messe receptionist (likewise). Makuhari Messe? That's where they hold the Tokyo Game Show! Note that no Nintendo or Capcom characters actually appear in these videos. Mosaics, however, do.Company Workers Dirty Movies [Insert Credit]
