Le prochain RPG de la série des Tales of s'illustre encore une fois assez largement. Cette galerie ne nous en apprend pas vraiment davantage, puisqu'elle se contente souvent de nous illustrer des environnements déjà connus. Quelques images de séquences de combat sont également de la partie. Tales of Xillia est prévu pour cette année au Japon et n'a évidemment pas encore été annoncé en Europe.
Le 23 juin prochain, les PSP japonaises accueilleront avec joie un nouveau jeu Gundam qui répond au doux nom de Gundam Memories. Il ne semble pas nécessaire de vous expliquer le principe de base, mais au cas où, ça parle de mechas, de lasers et de missiles. En voici une nouvelle fournée d'images accompagnées d'artworks.

Today, Panasonic announced the new LUMIX DMC-FZ35, a digital camera featuring AVCHD Lite, High Definition (HD) video recording capability, combined with a powerful 27mm wide-angle, 18x optical zoom LEICA DC lens.
A successor to the popular FZ28, the FZ35 packs enhanced creative features combined with the power to shoot HD videos, including motion zoom capabilities to take full advantage of the 18x zoom. The operational layout of the FZ35 includes a dedicated video record button, making it a true hybrid - a single model that performs seamlessly at capturing both still and motion images - while still providing smooth and easy operation in either mode.
“The LUMIX FZ35 is truly unique as it includes advanced features like HD Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. “This model’s versatility makes it a great choice for a new or advanced user who wants a hybrid device that shoots high-quality still and motion images.”
For users looking for increased creativity while shooting both video and still images, the LUMIX FZ35 delivers. New manual controls and creative options, include:
- Creative Movie Mode - Allows the user to set the shutter speed and aperture manually to make even more impressive movies. Changing the shutter speed brings special effects to movies, which is especially suitable for shooting fast-moving subjects. The ability to control the aperture is convenient when there are several subjects at different distances.
- My Color Mode - This special option gives free reign to the user’s creativity. The color, brightness and saturation parameters can be freely adjusted while seeing how the adjustments affect the picture, live on the monitor.
- High Dynamic Mode - Helps to capture a scene with moderate exposure even though the scene may contain both bright and dark areas.
The 12.1 mega pixel-FZ35 features the upgraded POWER Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.), which allows for double the repression power compared to the conventional image stabilization system, MEGA O.I.S., and ultra high-speed Auto Focus (AF) for capturing action scenes as they happen. Additionally, with the super-powerful 18x optical zoom lens, it is easy to capture subjects that are far away or take dramatic close-ups.
With the enhanced energy-efficient image processing LSI - the Venus Engine HD - the FZ35 has an extended battery life of approximately 470 pictures, making it the ideal choice for active photo enthusiasts. As with all Panasonic LUMIX cameras, the FZ35 features Intelligent Auto (iA) Mode, a suite of intuitive technologies including Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Exposure and Face Recognition. With the improved Face Recognition, the FZ35 recognizes up to three faces simultaneously while taking photos and allows users to specify the age of the registered subject. When babies under 3 years-old are registered, the camera will automatically switch to Baby mode if the baby appears to be in the frame.
The LUMIX DMC-FZ35 will have a suggested retail price of $399.99 and will be available in September 2009 in black.

The two-legged robot -- named D2V-ZN -- is to be introduced in October and sold from about $750, The Korea Times reported Monday.
"D2V-ZN can identify its owner with an embedded camera and take some pre-set orders after recognizing voices," D2E Robotics Chief Executive Officer Chung Kee-chull told the newspaper. "It will arguably be the smartest robot in the market. In addition, users can add new motions or functions to the model on their PCs with easy-to-use, customized graphic software. This is a programmable robot."
Chung, also a professor at Daeduk College in Taejon, said unlike current robots "our customers will be able to install new moves on their own."
"In other words," he told the Korea Times, "their imagination will be their only limit."
Chung said he is considering selling the robot through TV home-shopping channels in time for the Christmas season.
