PlayStation are running a competition – a catch the killer competition – which starts tomorrow. They’re encouraging people to tweet about it using the hashtag #heavyrain4days so if you see that starting to whisk by your Twitter stream; that’s what is going on. To play you need to be old enough and you need to […]
English language trailer for Final Fantasy XIII
There are a number of good things about this trailer; the Leona Lewis song isn’t one of them though. I’m more interested in the character dialog than a reality TV show star’s mantra in the background. They need to turn it down. It’s also worth noting that, shockingly, Final Fantasy XIII won’t be exclusive on […]
The Metal Gear Solid movie is cancelled
Bad news for the legion of Metal Gear Solid fans comes from GeekTyrant today. The Metal Gear Solid live-action film is dead. Producer Mike De Luca said the live-action was unlikely to progress; “I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated […]
No more Final Fantasy?
There may be no more Final Fantasy, not as we know the series, after Final Fantasy XII. After having already publicly discussed taking development of the next Final Fantasy away from Japan and giving it to Western developers Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada says the whole series needs something new. Once again we can turn […]
Lengthy Ar Tonelico III trailer hits the web
This is an awfully long – 4:30 plus – trailer for the forthcoming JRPG Ar Tonelico. It’s also quite loud so I’d nudge your volume downwards. The trailer shows off glimpses of most aspects of the game; the cut-scenes, costumes, battle stances, attacks and even wandering around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmxD5zxpvvE

The Special Edition pack includes a XMB theme, a copy of the complete Heavy Rain soundtrack and the access to The Taxidermist from the Heavy Rain Chronicles. Special Editions are becoming big news in […]
Jumping loop bug in Final Fantasy XIII
There are so many mixed signals about Final Fantasy XIII. My head’s starting to spin. First off the game got glowing reviews – perfect, near perfect. Then game players start to grumble. Turns out that the game, although large and long, is awfully linear. You get lots of cut scenes and lots to look at […]
Buy a PS3 and trash everything else
A pretty funky ad from Venezuela for the PlayStation 3 here. It gets your attention by trashing a lot of expensive looking stuff. Lots of broken glass. There’s a giant slingshot – in fact I think the ad is called “slingshot”. Oh, and there’s a PS3 too!
LittleBigPlanet does Pirates of the Caribbean
It isn’t just that this might be one of the cutest expansions of LittleBigPlanet yet that The Pirates of the Caribbean pack deserves a post. Although it’s certainly very cute; especially our Sack Boy Davy Jones. As it happens this expansion includes a new building material – water! My first thought was “cool!” and then […]
Ar Tonelico 3 trailer complete with funky music
It takes a while for this Ar Tonelico 3 trailer to get going – although it’s well worth the wait when it does – however the impressive music kicks in straight away so make sure you’ve speakers on. In many ways I get Final Fantasy vibes from this game but I’d accept its pretty hard […]
