Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice (PS3)

Disgaea 3 incorporates features that made the original a fan favorite, while living up to its “Do anything & try everything” philosophy by making radical improvements. One such change is the new netherworld campus setting which gives the game a demented new twist to the Disgaea world.

Disgaea®3 is a sequel to Disgaea®, a hardcore, turn-based, strategy RPG popular on the PlayStation®2 and PlayStation® Portable. In Disgaea®, character units have a limit to their movement and attack ranges, based on level and weapons equipped. There are other special game factors that let you take advantage of the 3D battle map many of which are unique to Disgaea®.

One of the many new feature to Disgaea®3 is the addition of a Geo Block, which creates a 3 dimensional battle instead of the traditional 2D. Much of Disgaea®3 is yet to be unveiled, but rest assured, plenty is due to arrive in the coming months.

Key Features

• Geo Block - A cube-shaped terrain-altering object. Players can use it to access and attack enemies where normally they cannot reach.
• Geo Panel - A group of stat-altering elemental properties that are placed upon certain parts of the battlefield. When there are one or more colored panels on the battle grid, it means an element can affect that area. The effect can boost or reduce your unit’s stats.
• Item World - A special randomly-generated battle stage within each and every item you find. By defeating these special battle stages, you are able to strengthen your items.

With its scientifically tested challenges that are both simple and fun, “MindHabits” can help you maintain a more positive state of mind resulting in reduced stress and boosted self-confidence in all walks of life, from work to play. Based on more than a decade of research and findings by Dr. Mark Baldwin of esteemed McGill University, “MindHabits” created a sensation at the Games for Health Conference as the first “brain trainer” to not only help you think better, but feel better as well.

“We are particularly pleased to bring ‘MindHabits’ to the PC and Mac platforms,” said Got Game Entertainment President Howard Horowitz. “If you have a computer, you’re ready to launch your new outlook on life.”

According to the developers of “MindHabits”, your frame of mind makes a huge difference in daily self-confidence and ability to deal with stress; research demonstrates the ability to shift this frame using the specially designed “MindHabits” challenges. In one challenge, for example, you must find the smiling faces in a crowd of frowns, which studies have shown can help train your mind to react to positive information. Similarly, word challenges associate certain concepts with your own personal words, reinforcing positive personal associations and activating positive patterns of thought.

Dr. Baldwin’s research shows that playing “MindHabits” can help reduce the stress hormone cortisol by up to 17%, and that benefits can be gained from playing in just 5 minutes a day. Other game features include:

• 200 levels of game play in 4 core games;
• Daily tracking of results and measurement of progress over time;
• Customizable male/female only options;
• Over 1,500 face images in higher levels;
