Video games are more important than they seem. They are a storytelling medium, a place for self-expression. The age-old tradition of gaming teaches us strategy, maneuvering, and the importance of making choices. From the cinematic experiences of mainstream gaming, to the hyper-personal environments of indie games, gaming activity defines the way we live and interact with information, and each other.

PSP Hatsune Miku Project Diva Extend Accessory Set - New

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Sega used to license their accessories to Hori but no more. They're doing it for themselves and the Project Diva Extend Accessory Set from Sega dovetails neatly with the release of the Project Diva Extend game this week in Japan. The package includes the following items:

PSP Face Cover
   A white flip-open lid which affixes to the front of the PSP and serves as a screen protector and presents nifty Hatsune Miku cover artwork illustrated by KEI. The Face Cover fits PSP-3000 models only and isn't meant to protect the entire PSP, just the screen.

Tako Luka UMD Storage Case
   The ginger-haired Tako Luka's rosy-cheeked face becomes a storage case for up to three Universal Media Discs - preferably the three Project Diva Hatune Miku games currently available. The side of the case is fitted with a zipper that's attached to a pendant to open and close the enclosure.

Hatsune Miku Face Pouch 
   The white-eyed and gaped-mouth rendition of Hatsune Miku forms the face of a storage pouch which is designed to store small baubles and trinkets within its drawstring-topped confines.

   All preorders for the accessory set are shipping today and new orders are welcome for dispatch this afternoon.

TOYS Kaitendoh Horror Figure Series Zombie Girl - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Japanese toy manufacturer Kaitendoh is kicking off a new line of toys called the "Kaitendoh Horror Figure Series" which features gory actors. The first figure in the series is dubbed Zombie Girl and she appears to have once been a scullery maid of some sort. Before she became undead, her duties probably included scrubbing, laundering, dusting, and food preparation. She probably also lifted a few pots in her time while working in the kitchen.

   Those menial days of labor are over however because she caught a bug. Not just any bug but the zombie contagion which has knotted her flesh and has caused her to hunger. Zombie Maid is still decked out in her work uniform which is ruffled and unkempt which is befitting of her current state. Her eyes exhibit a special glare that only zombies are capable of and her awkward posture is indicative of a body that ambulates by way of shuffle steps rather than an elegant gait.

   The Zombie Girl was originally released as a Polystone PVC resin kit back in the summer of 2009 at Wonder Fest but it's now being sold as a completed and fully painted polystone figure. All preorders have shipped as of yesterday and new orders are welcome to ship this afternoon.
