Pokémon Conquest (DS): The first Pokémon strategy game is finally released, crossing the Japanese series Nobunaga’s Ambition and gaming’s favorite collectable critters into a new addictive mix. This new turn-based strategy game incorporates almost 200 Pokémon, each with a special Warrior, into 6-on-6 tactical battles.

More games after the break.

Microsoft unveiled 5upcoming Kinect exclusive hardcore titles during their press conference at Tokyo Game Show: codename D, Haunt, Project Drago, Rise of Nightmares, and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor.

Now I use the word ‘hardcore’ loosely because, quite frankly, it’s hard to view motion control gaming as hardcore gaming at the moment. It needs to be seen to be believed. But after a disappointing E3, Microsoft’s reveal of a few first-party games is a decent start. Doesn’t take much to wash the taste of Kinectimals from my mouth, that’s for sure.

The trailers of each game and the rest of my thoughts are below.
