Biohazard 5 - New Import, In Stock

From the Publisher
Chris Redfield returns and heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is transforming the people into mindless creatures.

The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Biohazard had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Biohazard hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Chris must take on the challenge of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. In Biohazard 5, Capcom will teach players to fear the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.
Schwag: The first printing of the game includes a "Making Of Biohazard 5" bonus disc.

Biohazard 5 Premium Limited Box - New Import, Partial

«©NCSX» Preorders are welcome for Sony/Capcom's Biohazard 5 Limited Edition PS3 Bundle which includes an 80GB Playstation 3 console that sports the Tricell corporate logo (honeycomb design) on the upper left portion of the shell.

Please note that a partial shipment of the Premium bundles arrived today but the remainder is expected on Friday of this week. NCS recommends only shipping by UPS Ground within the United States due to the size and weight of the item.

Early preorders will ship with a Dragon Chronicle bonus art booklet and soundtrack CD in 50% ratio. The booklet also includes a staff interview and "hidden" codes which may be used in the game.

Relaxuma: Minna de Goyururi Seikatsu - New, In Stock

«©NCSX» Relakkuma, Korilakkuma, and a chick named Kiriroi-tori return to the world of video games in a new collection of challenges, interactive sequences, and other activities that would appeal to the grade school set. Admirers of Relakkuma may enjoy jigsaw puzzles, a Concentration card-matching game, and maintain a scrapbook of photos. When Relakkuma is eating, sleeping, or performing other actions, players can take snapshots and insert them into a digital photobook. Players who have a Wii Balance Board can use it to do yoga poses by following the bear characters on screen.

At the outset of the game, Relakkuma is seated in his room next to a bed covered with bright yellow sheets. There's not much going on so hover the cursor over the bear and press the "A" button so that a question mark appears over him. Next, hover the cursor over the bed and press the "A" button again to make Relakkuma attempt to clamber onto the bed. Since he's a sloth-like ne'er do well, the simple act of going to bed turns into a Herculean task and players will watch as he topples backwards and lies prone. Sort of like a wooden plank. While the shenanigans are happening, gamers are supposed to press the "2" button to bring up the camera and take embarrassing snapshots of Relakkuma's clumsiness.

Chaos;Head Noah - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Times Square in New York City is a happening place with throngs of people, heavy traffic, and bright lights that never dim. Times Square got nothing on Tokyo's Shibuya. The amount of foot traffic in front of the JR Hachiko station exit in Shibuya is the heaviest in the world. The sheer amount of pedestrians traipsing around at any minute is alarming and perhaps a reminder that there's a lot of humanity walking the Earth.

Chaos;Head Noah takes place in Shibuya and follows the story of a high school student named Takumi Nishijo. As the game kicks off, we learn that strange deaths have taken place in Shibuya which have stymied the local authorities. Group teenage suicides and an odd reverse caesarean performed on a young man are the introductory horrors but more are on the way. Takumi's baptism into the death trade begins online where he chats with someone named Shogun who seems to have foreknowledge of the gruesome events. The next day, Takumi runs into a crime scene where he sees two corpses that match the images presented by Shogun in their online chat. Fearful of what he might have stumbled onto, Tak searches for answers and finds allies over the course of the narrative as the murders mount. Takumi also endeavors to stay a few steps ahead of the killer.
