Capcom just announced the release of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for February 24 in the US and February 27 in Europe, and did so in a rather original manner: A video clip of a song specially written by the Japanese punk band GaGaGa SP, with some rather surprising zombie dance moves.

If you are a regular visitor of Gamersyde you know how we like to do a lot of videos of good jRPGs when we get one, so it should come to no surprise that four new videos of White Knight Chronicles are coming. These new ones, still by DjMizuhara of course, show some more advanced levels.
Update: Fourth video is up.

The whole Gamersyde team and myself wishes you all a happy new year, with all our wishes of health, happiness and most importantly great games! 2009 is shaping to be a very important year for Gamersyde, with lots of big changes for the site, and maybe the return of old friends. This should be very interesting :)

DjMizuhara sent us his christmas gift early this year with this video of White Knight Chronicles, with more to come as far as I can tell.

Rare and Microsoft unleashed Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this month, and I was thrilled since it's one of my favourite games. We got the code a bit late, but here's the First 10 Minutes of it. I know that this is the same areas that are available in the trial, but I figured there are a couple of non-X360 owners out there who want to see how it performs. It's the same game and while many don't like the fact that there's no voice-overs in the game, I'm perfectly happy with they way they kept the original assets intact.

Codemasters released Rise of the Argonauts on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3 in the US this week, while everyone in Europe but the UK got it last friday. Some of you might have seen the launch trailer we put up last week, and I was really skeptical about it after watching it. Fact is, that the game looks pretty acceptable except for the cut-scenes, and more importantly it's pretty fun to play.
