Catherine finally reaching Australian shores
Atlus' puzzle-horror adventure Catherine has had the most diverse reactions of a videogame in recent memory. Fortunately, now Australians can decide for themselves as the game has just been announced to be released later this year. This news is somewhat of a surprise considering the trouble you would expect Catherine to have when faced with Australia's strict classifications for videogames. There's no exact release date in place yet, but the distributors, QV Software, are shooting for October. It's already available for pre-order so in the interests of getting hold of one of 2011's most unique games, all Australians should probably make it their business to seek it out. Or not, as it seems the nightmarish tale of Vincent Brooks and his guilt has a real love/hate thing going on with most people. Catherine Finally Coming To Australia [Kotaku Australia] Did you know?

Did I miss something? To the Aussies: get it. I was on the fence before I picked it up but it was 110% worth it. If a puzzle game can hold my interest as much as Catherine then it isthmus ne good or since I don't generally like puzzle games AT ALL. To the Aussies: get it.

| 11:00 AM on 10.20.2011 Atlus earnings: Catherine sells nearly 500,000 worldwide |

Atlus has revealed some figures in its earnings report, but it's in Japanese which is all bukkake to me. Luckily Andriasang has translated some key info. Catherine sold 260,000 units in Japan and 230,000 internationally, on X...more

| 5:00 AM on 08.06.2011 Catherine helps Mega64 win the ladies over |

The latest offering from Mega64 actually has one of the most straightforward set-ups. There are no props. No cameos. No other starring members except Rocco. It turns out that the subject matter of Catherine is weird enough on its own to produce an incredibly awkward series of encounters with Rocco playing a disturbingly forlorn nerd Love is over before it even began.more

| 9:00 AM on 07.22.2011 Catherine gets a European publisher |

While Atlus said this week that there are "no plans" to localize Catherine for Europe, Deep Silver has stepped up to say otherwise. The Dead Island publisher will be bringing everybody's favorite sex-themed puzzle-horror game to the PAL region. Yay! No word on when the game will arrive yet, but it's nice to know that it's coming. I mean, if you're into that sort of thing, you sorry little pervoid.more
