Some games have been delayed this week, but Gundam and Dynasty Warriors fans have much to be happy about. After much wait, Namco Bandai finally announced that Dynasty Warriors: Gundam goes gold. The much anticipated title will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 later this month, August 28th.

If the demo stage from XBL didn't win you over, we'll have to tell you: Heero Yuy fighting side-by-side with Master Asia is badass. Then again, if the idea of combining Koei's landmark game with the biggest anime/manga mech franchise ever doesn't appeal to you, DW: Gundam may not be your cup of tea.

For US$ 60, you get hack-and-slash goodness packaged with countless of characters and mobile suits from various Gundam series. Doesn't sound like a bargain? More than 100,000 gamers grabbed a copy during the first day of release in Japan, which should mean more than hype can say.

Koei and Namco Bandai's Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (PS3, Xbox 360) certainly brings to mind a very brutal phrase. It's called going for the throat, and by that we mean aiming for those critical points and striking them, HARD, until your opponents go down.

In this new trailer for Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, we get to see a host of pilots going for the throat, taking down tons of enemy baddies with relative ease. From Master Asia's Master Gundam to the original RX-78-02 Gundam, you'll see them all hacking and slashing their way through enemy mobile suits.

In any case, the video is short, at 1:42, but it's worth a look, if only to see cool robots beating each other up in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. Enjoy!

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (PS3, Xbox 360) - the title almost says it all. The good thing is, it's a pure mix of Dynasty Warrior's hack-and-slash formula and plenty of mobile suits from the Gundam franchise faithfully recreated in 3D. The bad thing is, well, it's a Dynasty Warriors: Gundam game. Hah, we kid. Our very own Tim Y. is crazy about it.

In the gameplay video we found, apparently the stage the demo revealed, players take control of Heero Yuy in his Wing Zero as he teams up with Master Asia in a mission to destroy hundreds, or even thousands of cannon fodder. Pretty graphics almost make up for the simplistic AI and bland backgrounds. Almost.

It may look like another slightly upgraded version of the long-running DW series, coupled with the biggest anime/manga mecha franchise ever that doesn't have a good history in the video game industry, but it's still a next-gen title worth looking at. You'll know what we're talking about by watching the gameplay footage below.

Today's Xbox Live update features a couple of goodies from the Major, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam from Namco Bandai and MotoGP '07 from THQ. So what's interesting about either one?

If you're interested with big swords and bigger mecha fighters, then Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is perfect for you. In its demo outing, the video game will be featuring players as Heero Yuy going against a mysterious (and ginormous) chuck of rock going straight for Earth. The demo will be available for Canada, Mexico, and US and weighs in at 484.62 MB.

On the other hand, MotoGP '07 is all about speed. We tried it a couple of minutes ago and found that the rag doll physics made us wince. It really looked painful to be thrown around like that. Anyway, MotoGP '07's demo will be available everywhere save for Asia. Photorealism has its price, the demo is 901.46 MB.

Better check them out now. And decide which game has to go on your hard drive.

The day has finally come for the Xbox 360 owners who have been waiting for their turn to try out Dynasty Warrriors: Gundam. Namco Bandai and Koei has just announced that the demo for the upcoming mecha video game will be coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace on August 28.

If you're unfamiliar with the title, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) mixes two popular things, badass mecha and epic-scaled sword fighting. In the demo, players will be able to take the cockpit as Heero Yuy, who gets caught up in the action when it is discovered that a giant asteroid is heading for Earth. He's not alone though, as Master Asia and Jerid Mesa are there to help him out.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (or Gundam Musou) demo. We'll keep digging for more info and news for you so stay tuned.

We like mecha fighters. And we like samurai warriors and such. Namco Bandai and Koei tied those two up into one neat package and ended up with Dynasty Heroes: Gundam (or Gundam Musou). We've got a new trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game, and we are impressed.

Bring on the futuristic sword fights and the charged up attacks. Oh, and bring on the mecha drones that will taste the wrath of our gigantic blades - plus the guns and rockets that come with the Mobile Suits, of course. In the new trailer, we see Amuro Ray and friends battling across universe. Great special attacks (and special effects that come with them) coupled with good voice acting might make Dynasty Warriors: Gundam a hit with the fans of the series.

Anyway, we'll quit with the babble and leave you to press play. We'll be keeping a close eye on this one, so stay tuned for updates.

  

We managed to get hold of more Dynasty Warriors: Gundam screenshots, and so far the game keeps looking better and better. Right now the screens can assure us Gundam fans that this new Dynasty Warriors spin-off will not be limited only to characters from Gundam Universal Century (UC) - we can see mobile suits from Alternate Universe series like Epyon from Gundam Wing (that's the red mobile suit with the mean-looking whip).

Should this video game from Koei and Namco Bandai cover ALL Gundam series and have all storylines available, we can all be assured that this will be one lengthy game.

Looking once more at the screenshots, we notice some pilots and mobile suits shift alliances, which is not surprising since we're talking about the granddaddy of all space operas. Puru Two, for instance, fights for the opposing army in one of the screens, while in another screen she requests for your assistance, and belongs to your army. Gundam Epyon, on the other hand, will be available for your use but at some point in the game will become your enemy.

All in all, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam looks like it will live up to the stellar reputation of the long-standing franchise. Do check us out for more Gundam coverage in the days to come.

Right now, this combination of Gundam and Dynasty Warriors franchises looks like a match made in heaven, as evidenced by the screenshots we've found for you. Omega Force's latest project, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, is a sci-fi hack and slash action rendition of the the ever-popular Gundam series (think Dynasty Warriors cosplaying as Gundam 'bots). The game will be released in late Summer this year.

You can take on the role of your Gundam character of your choice: For now we have a few character profiles of some UC (Universal Century) Gundam characters such as Judau, Bright Noa, Kamille Vidan, and Haman Khan among others. Players can explore and relive the Gundam mythos through playing each of the character's storylines and perspectives on the battles that will be encountered in the game.

We can certainly expect the same fast-paced action from Omega Force's other Dynasty Warriors titles. Rendered in high-definition, the screens that we have right now look sweet, and the game promises to deliver terrestrial as well as stellar action in lightning-fast speed.

   

More screenshots after the jump!

If you can stand Koei's notorious dubbing (we imagine Dynasty/Samurai Warriors players agree on this), we've got two more videos readied for viewing for their upcoming Dynasty Warriors: Gundam game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. And as implied by that remark earlier, you can guess the voice-overs in these vids will be in English.

The first video will be a boss battle vid, which should give guys an idea of how combat against hordes of Zakus plus one enemy commander will feel like. As for our Gundam factoid of the hour: The RX-78-2 Gundam's currently engaging the MS-07B Gouf (The blue mech), an experimental ground-combat mobile suit under testing to replace Zion's stock of Zaku-II Js (the green mechs). These mobile suits are piloted by Amuro Ray and Ramba Ral, respectively.

A few days ago, we reported that Gundam Musou is U.S. bound with a new name - Dynasty Warrios: Gundam. We bet that a lot of people are excited with this development, so to keep the excitement up, here are some screens and artwork of the game. Let's start with the screens first, shall we? Here they are:
