Munch on God Eater in Q3 2010, North America photo

God Eater. I like it. It's Namco Bandai's Monster Hunter concept-- a PSP-based hunty action RPG -- but with a way better name and a bit more style. It hits Japanese PSPs on February 4, and the good news is that a North American version isn't going to be much longer.

D3 Publisher has set a Q3 2010 release date for our version of the game, which shows me that they know this could be a big title. Judge for yourself and nab the robust Japanese demo. I liked it. It's got a similar concept to MH, but the feel is totally different. Better? Maybe.

I'm really looking forward to this game. What about you?

Why is D3 pub'ing it in the US and not Namco Bandai? Seems odd.

But the demo was pretty fun. Since I don't know a lick of Japanese I was a bit lost on what exactly I was supposed to do. I killed something after chasing it around the map for most of the mission.

Pretty much like MH.

D3 got bought out a little while back. D3 was a decent publisher, but they were no Atlus so everyone kinda shrugged and went about their days.

I'm all for boob--side, under or otherwise--but I'm mostly excited to see if these girls put on a little weight after eating all those gods. Seriously, they're like stick figures.

That's the great thing about gods. They're fulfilling but never fattening!

Let's keep the bad jokes going.

Once I began checking some footage of God Eater I was sold already. A Monster Hunter kinda game with a strong cooperative as well, an actual story and with a different enough style and feel so it is worth it for someone like me that still plays MH after all this time.
I know how easy it is to import and all that, but it would be cool to see this game come to Europe as well.

Thus looks exciting! I don't know about the rest of you, but I've pretty much been playing only handheld games for the last few months. It looks like that trend is definitely going to continue considering that the lunar remake, strange journey, infinite space, and persona 3 portable are all coming out within the next few months!

At least I'll be able to import it by that point. Really like Monster Hunter, and if this is essentially the same thing, then I'm game.

Oh so gods just have to be white now? You probably think God is a dude too, huh?

That's why I worship Eris. Goddess > God.
