Full List Of Characters And Description.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled character details from the upcoming tactical
role-playing game, Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgment for Xbox LIVE® Arcade and the
PlayStation®Network. Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is the first next-generation installment
of the classic strategic RPG series featuring a swift RPG pace, improved user mechanics, and a
rich, character-driven storyline.

The game takes place on the continent of Sostegaria, where a war is waging between two
opposing kingdoms. Driven to defend his homeland, young orphan Tobias Martin recruits his
gang of friends to join him in the fight for peace. While avenging loved ones however, the crew
faces a threat that is deadlier and closer than they could ever imagine. Using character
customization options, players will experience the cast evolving and adapting to various styles of
gameplay as the battles carry on. Vandal Hearts has always been known for its strong and
memorable characters, and Flames of Judgment is no exception.

Tobias Martin
: Tobias is a war orphan, and a ward of the Church of Restoration. After losing his
parents, Tobias grew up on the streets, stealing and brawling to survive. When the Church offered
him an education, he jumped at the chance, leaving the street life behind. He isn’t sure of much in
life, but he thinks he knows right from wrong – a belief that will soon be put to the ultimate test.

Luce Valenci: Luce is a knight of the kingdom of Balastrade. Like many youth of her generation,
she grew up without her parents – in her case, trapped in a crooked orphanage. When she grew
old enough, she led her friends in an escape, and then followed her father’s footsteps in the army.
Now suffering a low point in her once-stellar military career, Luce tolerates no nonsense and
keeps few friends.

Altyria Jono
: Altyria is a farm girl from the other side of Balastrade’s border. Despite being
blessed with a loving family, Altyria grew up apart from her peers, finding solace in reading and
self-education. But when conflict brews, and Altyria’s loved ones are scattered, she finds herself
truly alone for the first time, and must learn new ways to survive.

Connor Ganson: Conor is a career criminal at age sixteen, an unrepentant street thief and con
artist. He grew up alongside Tobias Martin, and the two were inseparable friends for years. When
Tobias joined the church, Connor declined to follow him, and the two have rarely seen each other
since.

Calvin Atria
s: Calvin is Tobias Martin’s younger friend. Timid and awkward, he rarely leaves the
sanctuary of the church, at least not alone. With danger closing in, Calvin must choose whether to
stay sheltered within the church walls or risk his life to help defend them.

Gren Silas: Gren is Luce’s right-hand man. Known as “Ten-Men Gren” for his enormous strength,
Gren is virtually silent, answers to no one but Luce, and obeys her every command without
question. No one has ever seen his face – or, if they have, they haven’t lived to tell about it.

Daldren Gray
: Daldren is Balastrade’s greatest war hero, and one of the few surviving veterans
of the twenty-year war against the rival kingdom of Urdu. Respected across the land for his
legendary valor, Daldren still serves in the field to this day, stamping out threats to his land and its
people.

Kelbrun Hale: Kelbrun is the chief of an infamous bandit gang known as the “Fist of Enkidu.” A
dishonored war veteran, Kelbrun was stripped of his rank and banished after brutally sacking a
defenseless town. His raids and robberies have grown bolder in recent months, and his bandits
are better equipped and deadlier than ever. How he came to be so successful so quickly is not
yet known.

Shance Aya: Shance is the leader of the Hellhounds, a relentless cabal of infallible bounty
hunters. She is known, among those few who know her, for her murderous bloodlust and
delightful sense of humor.

Playstation Portable Minis


Press Release

gamescom, Cologne, 18th August 2009: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) and Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the imminent arrival of “minis”: a new section on PlayStation®Store that offers a range of all-new downloadable games for PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable). Available exclusively via digital distribution, “minis” will have a 100MB size limit, ensuring they are quick and easy to download to either the upcoming PSP® go or to the more than 52 million units of PSP that exist worldwide, offering innovative entertainment at your fingertips.

The new “minis” section will be available on PlayStation Store on 1st October in Europe/ PAL territories and in North America, to coincide with the launch of PSPgo, offering more choice, more ways to play and more innovative experiences to immerse yourself in wherever you are. Fifteen games will be available initially, across a wide variety of genres including arcade-style games, racers, parlour games – and a few that defy categorisation! – with more than 50 games on offer by the end of the year in Europe and the PAL territories.

The “minis” development process has been designed to open the door to a broad range of developers to encourage new talent and creative ideas to PSP. “minis” are being developed by some of the most creative studios from across the globe from Gameshastra, a medium-sized development team based in India, to HoneySlug a three-man team in Camden, London. Some developers, such as Creat, have already created content for PlayStation Network; others, such as Subatomic Studios. are bringing their experience in the mobile phone market to PSP.

The minis initiative is also supported by traditional game publishers, with industry leader Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) developing a number of games for the programme including Tetris® and Sudoku, with other titles to follow before the end of the year.”We are very excited to offer so much new content for PSP this year, particularly in this bite-sized form,” said Zeno Colaco, Vice President, Publisher and Developer Relations, SCEE. ”In opening the door to developers everywhere, we are broadening the type of content available to PSP owners, and opening up a world of possibilities to enhance the PSP gaming experience.”

“”minis” is yet another part of our concerted effort to expand content options on PlayStation Store as the demand for digital content will increase with the launch of PSPgo,” said Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network and Strategic Planning, SCEA. “minis will give developers the opportunity to create and share a variety of new and original content that in some cases, are only available on PSP.”

Arriving on 1st October, “minis” – along with the new PlayStation®Network video delivery service, Digital Comics, and features such as Skype, photos, music, movies and the best handheld games out there – are another reason to take PSP with you wherever you go.
