Hi Everyone. So June has passed and we’re into July now. This means it’s less than a month until the amazing Agarest: Generations of War Zero Collector’s Edition is released. I was a huge fan of the first game and I can tell you that the prequel is even better!
While you don’t need to have played Agarest: Generations of War to understand the storyline of Agarest Zero it’s always nice to fill yourself in on the previous (or should that be future :)) chapters in the story. So for those of you who didn’t buy Agarest: Generations of War the first time around, you can now get both games in our fantastic double pack. And remember that Agarest: Generations of War Zero allows you to load a completed save from Agarest: Generations of War!
Not only that, but fans of the original will no doubt be interested to hear that all the downloadable goodies for Agarest: Generations Of War are currently available on the PSN store at greatly reduced prices (I haven’t got my calculator handy but I’ve been told that everything has about 50% off!) It’s all part of Sony’s current DLC special promotion, but you’ll have to hurry because the promotion will end on July 6th!
In other news we’ve had a very nice guy called Joe in to do work experience with us this week. Today is his last day so I hope he’s enjoyed his time with us. It’s been great having him help us out this week and everyone here wishes him the best of luck when he leaves us to go back to school.
I’m now beginning to get together a few questions for a Q&A blog so you might see one again sometime soon. So if you’ve got anything you want me to cover in it let me know.
I hope you all have a great weekend and I’ll be back next Friday with some exciting news about a new PSP title that we have in the pipeline.

Hi again. It’s Friday so I guess I should do another blog.
The big news this week was that the fantastic Agarest: Generations of War Zero went up for pre-order on the website. If, for whatever reason, you haven’t got round to pre-ordering then I suggest you go here. You might want to be quick to make sure you can get your hands on one of those lovely T-Shirts.
It’s actually been really cool hearing so many people tell me that they have pre-ordered the game. While I don’t have the exact stats to hand I can tell you that the first pre-order came in within 2 minutes of the pre-orders going live. So well done to whoever was keeping such a close eye on our website.
As Agarest: Generations of War Zero pre-orders have gone up I thought I might give you a (Spoiler free) list of some of my favourite things about Agarest: Generations of War Zero. I won’t go into much detail but if you want to know more about any of them let me know and I might include some more about them in a future blog.
Vacation Days are one of my favourite new features and are not only a great way of building up your relationship with the heroines but also of finding hidden areas with cool treasures.
The translation. Aksys have done a great job with this one which is, at points, laugh-out-loud funny.
The game looks a lot better than the first. The graphics have improved considerably and the character portraits now include animations.
Meeting an old friend. You do meet one character from the original Agarest very early on in the game. So early in fact that the name wouldn’t be a spoiler in my opinion. I’ll leave them nameless for now anyway just in case some of you have stricter definitions than I do.
Doing battle with the legendary Jumbo Cock.
Visiting Muff Rock.
Those last two might provide some context on the making me laugh part :D.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend and remember to start clearing your gaming backlog to prepare for Agarest: Generations of War Zero. You have until the 29thJuly.
