Lost Dimension releasing on July 28, free DLC for two weeks

The PS Vita is turning out to have quite a solid year on the niche JRPG front. One of its most solid looking games is an Atlus published strategy RPG titled Lost Dimension, and it will be released on July 28.

Atlus also has a deal for the game in which anybody who buys it within the first two weeks of launch will snag $20 worth of DLC for free. This includes nine costumes, a map set with additional story, PSN avatars, and three optional quests. No, you don’t have to pre-order it as per usual. You can wait for reviews, and then make an informed decision if you want to purchase the game with extra content. Sounds like a worthy trade-off.

I don’t think Atlus has much to worry about in terms of reviews. Lost Dimension looks pretty solid, and it no doubt already has an audience willing to shell money out for it.

The only real worry is development team Lancarse, which doesn’t have the best resume of games when working solo. It sticks mostly to licensed products and cutesy puppy games. However, these are obviously developed just to pay the bills. The studio has shown promise teaming up with Atlus for the Etrian Odyssey games and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. I would consider Lost Dimension its first genuine solo project, something the team has always “wanted” to make and was not “forced” to make.

Lost Dimension‘s twist comes from a Survivor inspired mechanic in which a team of eleven soldiers must sniff out five traitors while on a mission. The group will vote at the end of every level who they believe a traitor is and will then execute them. Additionally, every time the player starts a new game, the five traitors are determined at random! How this works with the plot, I have no idea, but I’m really interested in seeing how it all plays out.

The game is right up there with Tokyo Xanadu as one of the best looking upcoming Vita RPGs. Lost Dimension will launch for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita on July 28.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
