E3 – Killer is Dead Hands-On Preview

Me: “But Yami, I hate Suda 51 games!” Yami: “Too bad. His games are popular with our readers and we need to cover that stuff.” Me: “Okay, fine. Fine.” That’s pretty much how the discussion went prior to me approaching a PS3 at the Xseed Games booth and trying out Suda 51′s upcoming Killer is Dead. The woman there got me set up and provided me with some helpful information about the basic mechanics, and away I went. In some [...]

Another New Game from Suda 51

New concept art shown off by Suda 51 featuring a female swordsman was revealed via Japanese game magazine Famitsu. Drawn by No More Heroes and Liberation Maiden artist and Suda 51 collaborator Yusuku Kozaki, this beautiful image hints at Suda 51′s next project. A little pre-mature I would imagine with Killer is Dead not even out on shelves anywhere, perhaps this is something too big to keep hidden? Suda explained to Famitsu that this is the title representing the ‘rebirth’ [...]

[News] Killer is Dead Trailer Now in English! Bring On That Classical Wub-Step!

You remember that trailer of Suda 51′s kickass new assassin game, Killer is Dead, we posted awhile back? Well now it’s in English so you can sit back and let that lead character’s sexy baritone wash over you as you enjoy a dubbed up trailer. Grasshopper games always have great dubs and I don’t see them smudging up that track record anytime soon. Cue deep-voiced black man, sultry British accent, and crazy voiced villain and we’re already shaping up an [...]

[News] Killer is Dead to be Published by Xseed, Coming This Summer

Xseed Games is going to be publishing Killer is Dead, Grasshopper Manufacture’s new cel-shaded action game. According to Siliconera, it is slated to be released in Summer 2013. While Xseed will be handling North America, Dead Island publisher Deep Silver will be publishing this game in Europe and Oceania. As with every Grasshopper game that gets released, the question is whether Killer is Dead will be the one that finally achieves something beyond cult-hit status. Time will tell, and in [...]

[News] Suda 51 Brings Back Assassins in Killer is Dead

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has unveiled Suda 51′s newest game, Killer is Dead. I then proceeded to scour the web for as much information as I could on the subject. The game’s protagonist is 35 year old Mondo Zappa who finds himself recruited to the Brian Execution Firm. As his new title of “executioner” implies, he must assassinate the most evil of criminals wielding his sword and robotic arm. His machine arm has the ability to turn into a variety [...]

[Review] Black Knight Sword: Where a Macabre Sense of Humor Meets Sadistic Design

It begins with a suicide and only gets worse from there. Black Knight Sword is the second collaboration with famed cult studio Grasshopper Manufacture and Hungarian developer Digital Reality. Like their first collaboration, Sine Mora, these two studios take a classic genre (in this case a side-scrolling hack-and-slash) and twist it into a dark, mature fantasy. However the nightmare didn’t end there. Black Knight Sword embodies as sort of macabre horror both in and out of the game.

[News] Black Knight Sword Lives! Out Next Week

A year back Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality (Sine Mora) showed off their second collaboration (the first being Sine Mora) titled, Black Knight Sword. A 2D sidescroller in which you play as the Black Knight out to bring down the evil princess. Yeah, bet you didn’t see that coming. More than that though, Black Knight Sword has a very interesting aesthetic in that the whole game looks like a paper puppet show with constantly shifting backdrops. Anyways, there wasn’t much [...]

[News] Lollipop Chainsaw Surpasses 700k Worldwide

  It was revealed during the Lollipop Chainsaw Summer Appreciation event over the weekend that Lollipop Chainsaw has shipped over 700,000 units at this time. That is pretty wild for a Grasshopper Manufacture title. According to Grasshopper CEO Suda51, this is the highest shipment figure that his company has seen. I’m pretty stoked for this news. I adore Lollipop Chainsaw and it is one of my personal games of the year for this year. The over the top action combined [...]

[News] New Lollipop Chainsaw Trailer Introduces Juliet’s Sisters

In case you were wondering, yes, some of us here at Twinfinite are in love with this game. Another day, another Lollipop Chainsaw video full of delightful levels of cuteness, fan service, gore, and profanity. You should know what you’re in for by now. In this video, we come to know Juliet’s sisters, Cordelia and Rosalind. If you, like me, have been following the game’s incredibly important story details up until now, you will be aware of the fact that cheerleader/zombie-slayer Juliet [...]

[News] Suda 51′s Next Game is Killer is Dead

The partnership between Kadokawa Games and Grasshopper Manufacture which is bringing you Lollipop Chainsaw in June will be bringing you yet another game from Suda 51′s beautiful mind. Killer is Dead will be the next game from the two companies and is sadly not a sequel to Killer 7. It is however a game that stars an assassin known as an “Executioner” who assassinates S-Level criminals. Suda 51 claims that it will retain the feel of his previous games which [...]
