CCP and Nexon Co., Ltd. today announced an agreement to bring a fully localized game client and product services for CCP’s award winning science fiction virtual world experience, EVE Online, to Japan this fall.

Continuing with CCP’s international growth plans, the company has targeted one of the largest online games markets to expand the EVE property.

“Japanese players have always been an essential part of the EVE Online community,” said CCP CEO, Hilmar Veigar Pétursson.

“Having considered Nexon’s excellent reputation as Asia’s leading game developer and publisher, they were the obvious choice in who the best possible partner would be to help us make the game more accessible to our growing fan base in Japan.”

EA Online Pass model to be used by platform holder; Debut with Resistance 3.

Sony has officially confirmed its intentions to debut the PSN Pass with September’s shooter release Resistance 3 on PSN.

The PSN Pass was first rumoured yesterday after it was spotted on the packaging of Insomniac’s upcoming title.

And as expected, the Pass very much apes similar schemes such as EA’s Online Pass. These require consumers to use an in-the-box code to access various gameplay features that must be downloaded or unlocked over PSN.

Pockie Ninja – the browser-based Naruto/Bleach-inspired brawler – has quickly garnered a worldwide audience of players who interact with famous Naruto and Bleach characters on a daily basis. In honour of the game’s rapid rise to fame, publisher NGames have decided to do something a bit different…

Since its launch earlier this year, Pockie Ninja has been showered in player acclaim for it’s intuitive mixture of arena brawler and MMO gameplay, fantastic presentation, and it’s unique Naruto-meets-Bleach setting.

With the recent launch of the Chapter III: Hokage Village update, which massively expanded the game with additional quests, items and a brand new village building facet, Pockie Ninja stands as one of the most popular and varied browser-based games on the market.

Nearly 5,000,000 players are now enjoying the game, with more signing up every day.

MapleStory’s Chaos update begins: Age of Heroes update now live.

A wave of pandemonium has hit Maple World as the Age of Heroes storms MapleStory. The Age of Heroes is the first in the Chaos series of summer content updates for the 2-D side-scrolling MMORPG from Nexon.

Players will now be able to party up and explore the Gate to the Future and its surrounding ruins, which contain mutated versions of low level monsters that may be familiar to veteran fans. These mutants however are much more powerful than their counterparts and will prove to be quite the challenge.

Gala Networks Europe, one of the leading free-to-play games publishers and operator of the www.gPotato.eu portal, is delighted to announce Allods Online: Renaissance.

This will be the first update for Allods Online, its triple-A MMORPG, since the official launch in May 2011.

Due to go live in mid/late July, the update includes the highest-level dungeon so far in the Allods universe and a set of new features including a reincarnation system, an all-new character creation interface, changes to dynamic events and improvements to Astral travel.

An unfinished but near full-featured version of Gears of War 3 has leaked onto the internet.

According to a post on NeoGAF (via Destructoid), backed up by the rush of gameplay videos now all over YouTube, the leaked version features everything from the full single-player campaign to all the multiplayer options.

Obviously, it can only be played on hacked Xbox 360s, and the leaked version is full of bugs, glitches and development artifacts like green boxes appearing in levels, which is unsurprising considering the game isn’t due out until September 20. It’s certainly not the way you want to experience what will be one of the Xbox 360’s best ever games when it’s finished.

The Bearded Ladies Consulting and the Playstation™ Community are proud to announce that their community designed platformer, “Legend of Robot”, has gone gold and will be released on the European Playstation Network on the 13th of July.

Launched by The Bearded Ladies in February of this year, the Gamocracy project invited Playstation Community members to design and vote on ideas for all aspects of an upcoming game.
After a development cycle bursting with unique ideas, “Legend of Robot” marks the first complete Gamocracy project – an original game designed entirely by the EU Playstation community!

“Legend of Robot” is a fantastic platformer with colourful characters and some never before seen game mechanics.

You are cast as “H7″, an alien-robot drone originally created to enslave mankind. However, this particular specimen suffers from a bug in his anti-empathy circuits, driving him to escape his alien masters. Using twisted mechanics, such as throwing your own head to use as a platform or weapon, you must fight your way through the invading alien forces to gain your true freedom – and possibly save the Earth while you are at it.

In GameSamba’s F2P MMO Realms Online, the Redcoats are coming—and they want brains!

Killing the zombies and keeping their realms safe will allow players to earn special Independence Day costumes, modeled after colonial era clothing.
