Remember that game for the Xbox Live Arcade that you kept hearing about for months, but never saw any footage for? That title that had nearly a hundred screenshots for characters and designs, and eventually had a trailer that was just an FMV tease? Yep: there’s finally gameplay screens, and we can see what all the hubbub is about!

Raskulls has been one of the biggest enigmas this year. We’ve seen so many cute, witty screenshots for the lovable skeleton buddies featured in the game, but never anything showing what the game is actually about. Hit the jump and prepare to have your mind blown.

This week’s PSN update arrives with a host of new content, including notable releases such as the much anticipated Big Surf Island for Burnout Paradise and VidZone, Sony’s brand new music video application. Compared to the deprivation the European store has previously received, this update continues the recent trend of SCEE actually delivering a worthwhile dose of both quantitative and quality content. My only complaint is that the irresistable Iron Maiden track pack is only available for Rock Band and not Guitar Hero.

A full listing of today’s update can be found after the break.

It’s hard to doubt these claims, especially when you look at some of the renowned games that come out in the 90s – Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Phantasy Star, Lunar and so on. The death of the cartridge and the rise of 3D removed most limitations, and some would say, the creativity which blossomed while finding ways around them.

For a global group of diehards, though, an ambitious new project to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Genesis/Mega Drive moved quickly from concept to reality. Pier Solar, the first brand new title to be developed for the MD/Sega CD, has almost completed its lengthy development. One of the first successful projects of its size, the developers originally began as a small forum community and grew quickly into a small indie development studio.
