Japan getting God Eater sampling platter November 26
We like to consider ourselves open-minded when it comes to new culinary experiences, but we confess that we've never had the occasion to dine upon a god. We've heard that it's a delicious (and sizable!) meal -- in fact, on the latest episode of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain described god-meat as being "light and airy, like aged pork, but with divine properties." Japanese gamers (or PSP owners with a loose comprehension of the Japanese language) will be able to find out for themselves when a demo for God Eater launches on November 26.
The demo for the Namco Bandai-developed action-RPG will be fairly substantial, offering 10 missions, character customization and a small sliver of the game's opening story sequence. It will also support four player co-op in the demo's non-tutorial missions. The demo will be added to the Japanese PSN on Thanksgiving and will also be available on the game's official site. Between those two options, we're sure you'll find some way to snack on a few celestial entities later this month.

God Eater website opens, reveals dark debut trailer
It looks like God Eater may be much more than a simple Monster Hunter clone. While the gameplay is focused on multiplayer monster slayin', we're digging the game's dark anime look. The music is particularly exciting to listen to. Check out the official website for another soothing piano ballad. We have to admit -- we're really getting pumped for this one.
Hunt monsters in Namco Bandai's 'God Eater'

According to Siliconera, God Eater will be out this fall in Japan. The existence of that US trademark suggests that the company will be releasing it here as well.
Namco files trademark for 'God Eater'
Internet sleuth superannuation reports that Namco has filed a new trademark for a game called God Eater. That's about it, really. The trademark page does refer to it as a game "that may be accessed network-wide by network users via mobile phones and computers," meaning it might be a downloadable title. We are decidedly not experts of trademark language though, so it's anyone's guess.We may not know what the game is about yet, but we know one thing: Writing the theme song should be a snap.
