Monday, October 26th, 2009

A demo for the upcoming Dragon Ball game “Raging Blast” is now available for download on both the PS3 and XBOX 360 (in North America).

Also, the official website “Dragon Battlers” has updated it with a profile for Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta.

scifinow Sci Fi Now Marsters InterviewCivilized James posted a bit about a new interview with James Marsters. Apparantly this new interview is mainly about Dragonball Evolution.

If anyone has a copy of this issue or knows where I can obtain a full scan, go ahead and mention it in the comments. I will be greatly appreciated if done and will give credit to anyone that helps out here!

Additionally, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo supports a number of key gameplay features that will keep the action diverse and gameplay engaging including armor breaks, attack counters, and special lock-on aerial attacks.

In addition to the Adventure Mode, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo also features a Tournament Mode which will allow players to take their favorite Dragon Ball characters into the ring and duke it out. Featuring in-game collectibles and a host of unlockable characters and modes, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo will provide a thoroughly engaging and accurate portrayal of Goku’s early formidable martial arts years.
