In a little over five minutes, I can show you why people who play the strangely-named video game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron rave about its graphics.

With a striking art style and a story based off of an ancient Jewish religious work, Ignition's El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is the sort of game that could go in any direction review-wise. As it turns out, it did.

In upcoming action game El Shaddai, a pre-fall Lucifer guides players. He's got God on speed dial and looks cool. Now, he's big-headed and "cute". Oh dear.

Wardevil, a game five years in development that was reportedly cancelled last month, is for some reason now being brought back from the dead and given a new name.

Ignition Entertainment shuttered its Florida studio earlier this month, deep-sixing the game the 70 developers were building, which was an FPS rumored to have cost $20 million. Video of the game, "Reich" has surfaced.

It's trendy now for Japanese games to try to appease Western tastes. El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron does not care about what's in.

Wardevil was one of the first current-generation games to ever be shown off. That was back in 2005. Back when it could still be called an upcoming game. Now? We can call it a cancelled game.

Action game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron might have a wordy title, but Japan is totally enamored with the game's hero Enoch and his flowing locks. You could say Japan has a crush. Time for a meme!

Single-player story? Who needs that! Downloadable title Blacklight: Tango Down has multiplayer. But can the game hold its own with the retail heavyweights?

The second part of Ignition's epic trailer for El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron gets up close and personal with Lucifel, a suave archangel destined to become the foremost fallen. Oh, and porklings.

This snowy, super short teaser trailer for El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron has appeared on the internet for you and me to look at together. So let's do just that.

Blacklight is a shooter we first heard of around a year ago, and have heard little of since. It's back now, however, and back as a downloadable title for the 360 and PS3.

Ignition Entertainment brings more survival horror to the Xbox 360 next year with Deadly Premonition, a creepy tale of mystery and terror set in a remote rural town.

Here's a set of screens for Arc Rise Fantasia for the Wii, to go along with the announcement that Ignition Entertainment will be publishing the game in North America next summer.

Ignition Entertainment and Marvelous Entertainment have announced that the former will be responsible for publishing Imageepoch's turn-based Wii RPG Arc Rise Fantasia in Summer 2010.

Odin Sphere developer Vanillaware brings their signature hand-drawn 2D style to the Nintendo Wii with Muramasa: The Demon Blade, a touching tale of a boy, a girl, and a whole bunch of swords.

Savvy marketing, this. For the September issue of play magazine, Ignition entertainment managed to get gorgeous Wii side-scroller Muramasa top billing on the front cover. Bottom billing, too.
