PS3 Bleach: Soul Ignition - New Import, In Stock

From the Publisher
   At last the popular manga/anime series makes its way to the PlayStation®3 platform! There are numerous anime-based video games, but many fall short in gameplay. Bleach: Soul Ignition; however, faithfully represents the anime series with its beautiful cel-shaded graphics and combines it with amazing gameplay. The game style is simple enough for action game beginners, yet has enough features to satisfy hardcore players. The game follows the battle against the evil Arrancars, but there are times when you will be able to play as the enemy. This is especially exciting if you follow the manga closely, since you can be characters in the manga that are normally forgotten after being defeated.
   Bleach: Soul Ignition gives players the sensation of single-handedly destroying an army of monsters and evil spirits with lightning-fast swordfighting action. Gamers can re-live the experiences of various characters from the anime by closely following the original story.

Although the Guardians are resentful of what the humans have done to their planet. they're grudgingly welcoming and are willing to help the wayfarers cohabitate in their world in exchange for hard liquor.

PSP Gundam Memories: The Memory Of Battle - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis

«©NCSX» Bandai has followed a simple formula in its previous Gundam Battle game incursions - players control one mech who ventures forward into the heat of battle across a series of missions. With responsive controls, fluid gameplay, and nonstop action, the Gundam Battle games appealed to fans and spawned series sequel after sequel. In the new Gundam Memories, Bandai tries a whole other tack in the gameplay where three mechs are selected before a mission and the mechs may be swapped on-the-fly during firefights thank to the "MS-Shift System." The game features mechs from Gundam series such as

» Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
» Mobile Suit Gundam OO
» Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack
» Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
» Mobile Suit Gundam W Endless Waltz
» Mobile Suit Gundam After War X
» Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta A New Translation
... and more.

   By switching between a trio of mechs during a mission, players may adapt to battlefield conditions quickly when the carnage calls for a new suit of armor. This game is also known as Gundam Memories Tatakai no Kioku. Japanese product title: ガンダム　メモリーズ～戦いの記憶～
