Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD Remaster Announced and Debuted

We’ve known about if for a while now, due to various slips of the tongue, but last week, Square Enix came out and officially announced that Final Fantasy X would be getting a remastered HD edition for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita systems. On top of that, however, we found out that Final Fantasy X-2 (otherwise known as Final Fantasy Dress-Up Adventure) would be included in the r...[Read More]

Doctor Who Coming to PlayStation Home

Last week, LOOT Entertainment teased a live stream audience with a new trailer, titled “Soon.” The trailer was short, and didn’t have much video content, but there was a very deliberate noise. Some may have contended that it sounded like Godzilla in heat, but they would be a vocal minority. Needless to say, this morning’s announcement shouldn’t come as too much of a s...[Read More]

Deadpool Releases Self-Made Trailer for Upcoming Game

I’m sure Deadpool had Weasel’s help putting this together, what with all of the video editing and special effects work that had to be done. That being said, he did a great job at presenting his game in a professional manner, as well as introducing his best buddy Cable! For me, Deadpool’s time with Cable was one of my favorite comic runs ever, so color me excited to see them fooli...[Read More]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Returning This Summer

I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are a lot of things that, honestly, I appreciate now simply out of nostalgia and fond memory, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles receive my sincere appreciation. Has the franchise missed a few steps over the decades? Unfortunately, yes. However, when the Turtles hit right, they’re phenomenal, which is why I have high hopes for what Activision ...[Read More]

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s Leaked Trailers Are Now Official

There have been an inordinate number of leaks during the week or so since Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was announced to the world. All across the Internet, from sites both large and small, we saw the emergence of an Assassin’s Creed poster and two trailers, one of which was incredibly exciting. Now, on the day that the reveal of this content had originally been planned for, Ubisoft ...[Read More]

Review: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (360)

When someone says that a game is not worth $59.99 solely because of its length, I always throw Vanquish out as an example of an incredibly high quality, yet short, experience that is unequivocally worth full retail pricing. If a game is both short and underwhelming, then I can understand the argument, but simply discounting a game based on length will always result in an impassioned argument of...[Read More]

Rayman Legends Going Multi-Platform

Nintendo had been making an incredibly strong, and frustrating, case for me to purchase a Wii U. Rayman Origins was one of the best platformers of the entire console generation, so Ubisoft’s announcement of Rayman Legends as exclusive to the Wii U was all but the nail in my coffin. The nail in my coffin was the announcement of Bayonetta 2 as exclusive to the Wii U, with Bayonetta being one o...[Read More]

Story Contest: Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PS3)

It’s been a while since our last run of contests, but worry not, for we have returned with precious goods! The latest in Konami’s line of technical football simulations, Pro Evolution Soccer, is available here on the Playstation 3 platform. We have two copies available. We’re going to be doing things with a slight twist, this time, as we’re allowing the tweet entry to be pe...[Read More]

Perfect World’s Free-To-Play MMO Neverwinter Introducing “Founder’s Packs”

First, the trend was free-to-play with paywalled content and performance modifying microtransactions. For the most part, that didn’t go over so well, so a transition was made to a fully playable game with cosmetic microtransactions. The subscription model of MMOs is disappearing, and with the rise of free-to-play, we have seen new modes of monetization. The most recent method is the Founder&...[Read More]

Review: Anarchy Reigns (360)

I do not believe that any game developer or publisher is perfect, even in cases of a perfect track record. A company with a perfect record is simply a company that has not yet made its first mistake. Platinum Games is one of the companies that sits on my “haven’t screwed up yet” list, primarily because of their absolute brilliance in developing Bayonetta and Vanquish (my game of ...[Read More]
