YouTube | Born and raised beside a game controller, he's been playing video games for much of his life. Mecha games, especially Armored Core, are his favorites.
Last Raven Portable has been announced for the PSP platform, and if the promo video shows anything, it looks like its gonna be epic. All parts from the previous Armored Core Portable titles will be included in Last Raven Portable. Buyers of the UMD version will also be treated with a 60 page freebie booklet titled “AC Chronicle Art Works” as seen from the promo vid. Screen shots of the new parts and the official promotional video after the jump.
Someone apparently cosplayed as White Glint from AC:FA and did a short dance number. Enjoy! :D
What we have here is an awesome short fan video about giant alien robots invading the city of Montevideo located in Uruguay. Rumor has it that the creators of the video have been contracted by Mandate Pictures to give them $1 million to direct a $30 million film on the basis of this video which reportedly only cost $500 to make. Directorial and actor management aside, there is no doubt to the quality of special effects used in the video are nothing short of awesome especially considering the budget and robot action involved. Enjoy!

Life is in a fragile state as never before. The economic crisis still threatens the modern world we live in, and greed continues to compromise the well-being of those who are already oppressed. Our natural environment continues to degrade in the name of progress, and blood continues to be spilled in pointless conflict. These are indeed difficult times, yet not all wish to bow down to fate and continue to resist the vices that plague the ugly side of humanity.
No, not the upcoming PSP game, but maybe one day if they’ll scale this up this will be way better. Filmed from the International Robot Exhibition 2009 in Japan.

Because everyone digs giant robots.
Ok, I know I’ve been slow. Not covering Silent Line Portable‘s JP release was already a sign and missing last week’s Random Mecha Video of the day/week was another. So to make it all up for the lack of Random Mecha Videos and content, I present a massive collection of Mecha Anime openings from 1960’s till 2008. This is not my work, but it has been floating around an would at least interest anyone who has played SRW and asked “Where the hell did this robot come from?”. You’ll see it all, from icons like Tetsujin 28 (including the re-makes and re-imaginations), Mazinger-Z, various Macross and Gundam titles, to obscure super-robot titles such as Chogattai Majutsu Robo Gingaizer (Super Combining Magical Power Robo Gingaizer). It’s 7-8 hours of awesomeness and mecha history. The download links after the jump.
This freeware game called Shining Blood was created by Teasoft, which can be described as an indie-level production Armored Core: For Answer. You have 6 mechs to choose from and the objective of each game is to blow everyone else up. Upgrades are purchased in the game though collecting red items that destroyed opponents drop. Gameplay shares FA’s speed, at least seen from the videos. A trial version for the Xbox 360 is available in the xbox live marketplace aside from the PC version available from their website.
You will need to have the XNA Framework and .NET Framework 2.0 installed to play Shining Blood.
