Square-Enix has launched the official website for Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One and with it a bunch of screenshots from the game.

The third instalment in the franchise will be centred around a soldier named Wilfred who is offered a magica feather by the Queen of the Underworld. With this feather, Wilfred sets off to seek revenge against the Gods, as you do.

From the looks of the screenshots, the franchise has switched from its traditional side-on perspective to an isometric view. It's scheduled for this year in Japan, so we expect to see it land on European shores early next year.

Ever since the action racer MotorStorm are released, the game developer Sony Computer Entertainment has been providing expansion packages for downloads. In the last two years, a total of eight such packs are released and missing these means missing out a large portion of action racing fun.

With MotorStorm Complete, you can get all of these packages built into the game without having to go through the trouble of downloading them one by one. Aside from saving your downloading time, this reasonably priced package saves you some extra money as these downloads often requires a fee.

Sixty-two new items are released through this package and an online support function is included. With MotorStorm Complete, you can now turn this one player game into a twelve player online race.

As the leading PMC, Mantel Global Industries offers a high-tech arsenal of vehicles, deadly weaponry, and on top of that a performance enhancing bio-medical support known as Nectar. As a result, Mantel troopers are the most feared by terrorists, dictators, and the corporation’s political enemies.

Welcome to this week's toys update. Check out the wonderful collectibles we just got in stock and all the new products made available for preorder.

As toys, especially collectible ones, are produced in limited numbers and are often sold out prior to the actual release date, we strongly recommend to preorder the figures of your desire as early as possible.

Copper, the guard of the town gates in Nintendo's community simulation game Animal Crossing is chosen as this week's special. As opposed to his rugged appearance, he is perfectly helpful as shown in the game. Let him guard your bedroom or office from invasion.

The plush doll of Copper is sold at the bargain price of US$ 6.90 and the maximum purchase is limited to 1 piece per customer. As usually, this weekly special is valid for exactly 1 week (if not sold out earlier).

Mega House released three more figures for their Excellent Model - Portrait of Pirates series. After watching these characters in action on the TV screen or in the cinema, its time to expand your growing collection of figures. The three characters featured are Shanks, Sanji and Nami.

All of the figures are sculpted to scale with attention paid to the smallest of details like finger nails, the folds of their clothes and the cigarette in Sanji's hand.

The Gears of War Action Figure Box Set comes with four action figures and their weapons. Twelve joints are installed into each of the figures so you can form all sorts of postures with them.

With two heroes, the leader of Delta Squad Marcus Fenix and Private Augustus Cole and two Locusts, Drone and Sniper, you can recreate a large number of memorable battle scenes in this critically acclaimed first person shooter.

Preorder the world's tiniest grand piano. Complete with eighty eight keys, each four millimeters wide, this miniature piano is not simply an ornament for your glass case, but a real piano that you can play tunes on, (provided that your fingers are small enough).

With one hundred built in piano pieces and an SD card slot for extra music, the Grand Pianist works also as a music player. As the pieces play, the keys on the piano will be pressed accordingly. For those who want to improve their finger works on the piano, observe this musical instrument in action even if you can't play on it.

Tokyo Tower is one of the tallest self supporting steel structures in the world and a sign of Japan's emergence as a global economic power house. It is frequently featured in popular culture to represent Japan.

This model is fifty centimeters tall and modeled after the original structure to an art form. With a built in led light, switch it on at night and capture a fragment of nightlife in Tokyo.
