E3 is a den of promises. Promises sell products. And according to the cynics of the world, promises are meant to be broken.

Survival horror game The 3rd Birthday is heavy on fan service (tentacle anyone?). For example, there's an unlockable shower scene. And if you watch that, Square Enix just might know it.

Spotted (via Siliconera) in PSP title The 3rd Birthday, one of several in-jokes the game has.

The latest entry in Square Enix's Parasite Eve franchise shows off more gunplay and more of heroine Aya Brea wearing only her, dare I say, birthday suit.

Japanese actress Rei Okamoto might not be voicing protagonist Aya Brea in upcoming PSP title The 3rd Birthday, but that doesn't stop her from posing with a pistol and dangerously short shorts.

The 3rd Birthday's protagonist Aya Brea is getting a whole host of embarrassing costumes: torn jeans, ripped stockings and a maid outfit. Her latest costume isn't anything to be ashamed of though. It's far too badass for that.

Aya Brea, protagonist of the forthcoming 3rd Birthday, is 39 years old. And she gets her jeans blown off, her stockings ripped up and even squeezed by a tentacle. Her latest fan service humiliation? A maid costume.

Costume battle damage is not new. In 1985's Ghost 'n Goblins, Sir Arthur was running around in his skivvies. But in the last few years, it's become far more prevalent — especially in Japan — and far more feminine.
