Publishers stampeded Japan with a rush of new releases last week, including Dark Souls, Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls, and Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
Aside from publishing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Times as a first party game in Japan, Sony has sat on the sidelines when it came to overseas releases. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan changed their stance with the World Game Project.
Shadows of the Damned is a 3D shooter where you enter the depths of Hell as demon hunter Garcia Hotspur. Well, *most* of the time it's a 3D shooter. Grasshopper Manufacture's game has some 2D action too.
