Three of them to be exact along with a wallpaper, and they can be found at Gamers.com (yeah, yeah, it's EGM, I know....). There isn't a whole lot of new information given out, but it's nice to hear the thoughts and opinions of those working on it. This has been up since the 27th, so it's a week old now. Hope I'm not posting old news.
Note: The wallpaper sports that god-awful new Konami logo. So much for my theory/hope of it only being used for their non-videogame products....
Have any of you seen the Lament of Innocence e3 trailor? Man, I'm impressed.
I was one of the doubters, but I'm totally stoked about this game. I hope it's as good as Iga is leading me to believe. Plus he hinted that there might be a soundtrack included with it. Score!
I was just about to tell everyone that. You beat me to it. Yeah, the music sounds nice in the video. I hope the soundtrack comes packed with it.....in the US too! I heard it was supposed to come out here first, but that probably won't happen now anyway.

Ah, an interview with Ayami Kojima, that is interesting!
Isn't her work great? She's self-taught too! In my opinion I think she's better than any Capcom or SNK artist. I'd like to see her redition of Iori or Geese.
I've never seen an artist quite like her. She can make girly, effeminate men look like complete badasses. Alucard, Simon (CV Chronicles), and Soma are all completely awesome designs. I especially like her re-imagining of Simon. I'd like to see that design again appear in games...
I'm still not sure how I feel about her Richter, though. Maybe just because I like the old design, as goofy as it looks...
But still, her art style is very, very distinctive, and it's given every CV's art since SotN a very distinct look, with the distinct exception of Circle of the Moon... or did she do any art for that? I haven't seen any, if so.
LoI looks like yet another new direction for CV. I'm kind of excited. As much as I'd like another old-style tough-as-nails 2D CV, with less exploration and more side-scrolling goodness, I know I and most of the classic CV fans are in the minority. Why argue with evolution if it's still yielding good games? Sure, we can't pass judgement on it until it's out, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Off topic, speaking of a lot of fun.. Wario Ware Inc is an awesome game. I can't stop playing it! I bought it today after being hooked for about 20 minutes at a K-Mart display yesterday. Too good.

I love her art. I think she's the official CV artist for now on. I think they hired her after CotM. So for now on she does the art of CV. I think she could do pretty good for 2D fighters, but of course they wouldn't be action pictures. They'd just be standing there. BTW, I loved her Richter design.
I played Wario Ware, Inc. today. I wasn't really impressed by it. I just wished the games were longer. I also played the Soul Calibur 2 demo. I wasn't really impressed with that either. I thought the graphics were supposed to be superior to the first game. I noticed a little more animation (Taki's breasts) and the ground your on doesn't go all blurry as you look further into the background, but other than that I thought it looked the same. I'm still gonna get it though.

I think that's the beauty of the game, though... adapting to many different kinds of play quickly. It gets very difficult later on. If you like a game a lot, you can replay it for scores. Each game has several variations, so it doesn't get old quick... they remind me of Game and Watch games in that mode. However, when the speed gets insanely high... man, it's nuts! The pace gets so breakneck that often games will end the first moment that they can. The volleyball game I was just playing to get a high score on was going so fast that the game ended the second I made contact with the ball, often the first second I possibly could.
But the huge variety of games is good... I haven't seen them all yet, and there are some cool hidden bonuses! Like Dr. Wario, a full game of Dr. Mario. The whole thing! I dig it.
I've been looking for that new GC demo disc, though.. wanna try Billy Hatcher, Viewtiful Joe, and SC2. Haven't seen it yet, though... but now we're getting waaay off topic. I'm gonna shut up now.
