I have been eagerly awaiting new information about Fragile: Goodbye Ruins of the Moon since I first wrote about it. Namco sure took their sweet time, but I guess I should just be happy that rumors the game was canceled are false. Fragile is a game for the Wii that takes place after [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z16bkl07DOE

The opening video to the Japanese version of Stings’s Knights in the Nightmare has appeared on YouTube. I was surprised to see that the game features English voice-overs, although that seems to be a style choice that Sting prefers for their Dept. Heaven titles.
This video is much higher quality than the short clip of [...]
