Drama'N'Drablands | 01.08.2016 + From the Source: Nintendo- Store Massive Makeover & Atlus action!

The writing below may sound like it came from RkRk... but its not! :p

ACE Team and ATLUS are Putting the "B" in B Movie* with a ~33% Launch Discount!

*B in this case meaning Budget

Stop the presses! The Deadly Tower of Monsters director Dan Smith is at it again. He wants to make his sci-fi spectacular accessible to as many people as possible, so he's demanding that the studio cut prices to his film*! Is this truly the work of a passionate visionary director or just another diabolical marketing scheme by those despicable fat cat movie executives?

I don't know one way or the other, but the fact is that The Deadly Tower of Monsters will get a special 2-week price discount when it launches! When the game launches in the Americas and Europe on Jan. 19, it will be discounted ~33% until Feb. 2 for PS Plus subscribers and Steam users. Plus, the Steam version of the game will also include a bonus "Scarlet Nova" digital calendar! While the price will revert back to normal after the promotional period, the calendar will be a permanent bonus for Steam purchases!

Plus, we're taking review code requests now! We're expecting to distribute code by 1/14, so to streamline things, please fill out the short review survey below.

The Deadly Tower of Monsters crash-lands onto PC and PS4 on Jan. 19, 2016in the Americas and Europe!

Want more? Here is a faux movie poster that you can save... print and put on your wall.

Hey... down here!

Happy New Year Message + Drama'N'Drablands + Yadda Yadda Yadda | 01.01.2016

Happy New Year lads! Make this year more kick a__ than ever before, by... being a little less of an a__ in the ways that are nothing more than a waste of time. Make these days count... (for real) because you never know when its time to check out of this life, so you might as well game hard and enjoy the people who you enjoy having around most.

Ditch the potential regrettable moments for the memorable ones... if you can help it... and game on!
