It's amazing how, even though one can talk about videogames and follow the industry seven days a week, some pretty hefty titles can still manage to bypass the personal radar. Namco Bandai's Majin & The Forsaken Kingdom for 360 and PS3 is one such game. No idea it existed until this morning, but now I want it a lot.
With an atmospheric look not dissimilar to Shadow of the Colossus, but with what seems like a more endearing and heartwarming story as opposed to a bleak and depressing one, Majin has potential to be a terrific game. This new trailer was released very recently. If, like me, you somehow managed to not hear about this game, do check it out!

Seriously, I'm looking forward to this as I liked folklore and this looks great.
Now on my radar.
Looks great nonetheless.
I was thinking the same thing. Jim Henson Does Japanese Folklore? I can dig it.
But seriously, looks pretty nice. I'll definitely keep my eyes out for any new info/videos.
If anything, the music in the trailer was pretty cool... at the end it sounded like some awesome 70's TV show theme song.
also cocks.
I <3 Jim.
Oh wait.
THIS IS STILL COOL THOUGH.
Pretty interesting. I'll definitely keep my tabs on this one.
When's it coming out?
Xbox 360 misses much more great games than the PS3. Demon's Souls, 3D Dot Game Heroes and ModNation Racers spring to mind.
