AQ Interactive's most recent financial report has shed some light on the company's upcoming games. For this fiscal year, three DS titles (one of which is Blue Dragon Plus), an unnamed Wii title, and four portable games from Xseed are slated to hit North America. More in the full article.

The Tokyo Game Show this year brought on a number of happy announcements, one of them being the DualShock 3 and the list of games that are and will be made compatible to it. Well, Colin, a former writer at PS3 Fanboy took a good look at the list of games and found some new ones squished in between the others.

Here's the list:

• N-Cube - Creat Studios
• Warbit - Creat Studios
• TNA Wrestling - Midway
• To End All Wars - Ghostlight
• Cops (codename, title name TBD) - Pyro
• The Crucible - Sega
• Rat Race - Sony Computer Entertainment
• Vampire Rain - Altered Species - AQ Interactive Inc.
• Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back - Activision

So far, there hasn't been any information or announcements regarding the said titles. Oh-kay, we've been seeing and hearing about TNA Impact! and Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back for a while, but as we said, info is thin. Anyway, we're wondering whether the Vampire Rain - Altered Species listed refers to Vampire Rain or another upcoming title. Expect more news when we get them.

"In the centuries past, I was both the hunter and the hunted. Always wondering as to the reason of my very existence. I think I'll have that answer this day...I hate rain."

Kind of poetic, don't you think? Honestly, we weren't expecting this much lyrical questioning from the movie clip of Vampire's Rain, found in the official site that just got launched, but the visuals and sound effects were nice nonetheless. In the official site, you'll get to know further about the game's world, character, game system, movie, screenshots, campaign, downloads, and more.

Clicking each tab doesn't take long to load and you immediately get access to the particular info you must browse, such as the Game System's mission. The World's stage shows a steady scroll-down of the entire Vampire's Rain milieu. We really think the movie that you can play on your WM Player is cool (not just because it's in English). However, the rest of the site's text is written in Japanese.

Vampire's Rain, a.k.a. Rain, is where special operative John Lloyd undertakes the mission of wiping out the vampires lurking in suburban L.A. The game is still under development for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, so there's still little we know but a few heads-up from the Artoon and AQ Interactive. It's scheduled for release though, on January 2007. For the meantime, the site is a welcoming place for you to get some visuals on the game, so visit it via the link below. Have fun!

Heading for the Xbox 360 and PS3, AQ Interactive's spooky stealth game is causing heads to turn (and necks to be punctured). Vampire's Rain is going back to the roots of making these vampires scary once again, as opposed to how movies seem to make them cool. Either way, no one seems to be griping. The game is looking strangely familiar, but the whole concept of creating fear in the player is making our necks itch in anticipation.

There was a playable demo in the TGS 2006, and people have been wishy-washy about it. The controls are fine, the cut-scenes weren't really that "wow," the weapons that come along in the demo are quite limited. Yes. It's a very "Goldilocks" game: not too hot, not too cold. It's juuust right. But see. It's only the demo. Surely, they still have time to fix things up before its winter release. And if they do, the game might actually sneak up from behind with a surprising entrance.

One thing everyone's been talking about though is that it might actually be more than just "killing vampires ala Sam Fisher" style. Because despite all the military spec-ops feel to it, there's still that nagging feeling about a mysterious little girl towards the end of the demo. Kind of like a Cheryl-moment from Silent Hill (PSone). Splash in the whole concept of occultism and things that go bump in the night - plus competitive multiplayer! - and you have the makings of a great game.

Here are some new screenshots from the upcoming AQ Interactive Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title, ?Vampire?s Rain.? This action adventure originates from Japan and takes place in a rainy night in Los Angeles. Playing as a special force agent by the name of John Lloyd, your mission is to eliminate the vampires throughout the city. This game is due for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 during the Winter of 2006.
