<p><i>PS3/Xbox 360, Summer 2013 </i>– Created by game legend SUDA51, this highly anticipated original game is set in a not-so-distant future similar to (but not the same as) the world we know now. The player takes control of an executioner named Mondo Zappa who wields a Japanese sword in his right hand and brandishes interchangeable weapons in his left artificial arm. His ultimate goal is to execute various heinous criminals scattered around the world and beyond.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>PS Vita, Fall 2013</i> – An extensive reimagining of (and pseudo-sequel to) <i><a class="zem_slink" title="Ys (series)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ys_%28series%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Ys IV</a></i>, one of the only <i>Ys</i> games never before released in the west, this title puts more enemies on screen than ever before and features the largest, most non-linear overworld in <i>Ys</i> history, boasting superlative graphics and a triumphant evolution of the fast-paced gameplay that has made this<i> </i>series a timeless action RPG mainstay. As the game opens, long-time protagonist Adol Christin finds himself alone, dazed and confused in a strange land, and must piece together his memories of how he got here and why, all the while struggling to determine whom he can trust.</p>
