As the West prepares for Final Fantasy XIII there are some early hints that any sequel to the game might not come from Square Enix’s Japanese developers. The Final Fantasy series is seen as the archetypal JRPG so this will come as a shock to many. Square Enix’s President, Yoichi Wade, suggested to Edge magazine […]

DJ Hero 2 on the way
Did you buy DJ Hero? Disappointed with it? You would have thought that Acitivision would have been disappointing with the cooler-than-luke-warm sales for the hardware/software game combo but it has all but been confirmed there’s a sequel coming. We know because DJ David Guetta told Candian press that he’s working on the second game. “I […]
Capcom on Wii retreat
Yesterday I found myself speculating about odd developments around Monster Hunter 3. Capcom had strangely handed distribution rights for the game over to Nintendo themselves. Just this morning there’s more light on the situation. Looks like Capcom may be backing off from the Wii after a disappointing run with Resident Evil and other “mature titles”. […]
Capcom surrenders Monster Hunter 3 to Nintendo in Europe
The good news is that the most successful third party Wii game ever will come to Europe. It’ll come to Europe, perhaps, before we’re halfway through 2010. The interesting twist in the tail is that Capcom will be getting Nintendo to distribute Monster Hunter 3. Why? Not sure! I had time to quickly discuss this […]
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 […]
4 European trailers for Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll
We are the third region. While the US and Japan battle it out to see who gets the best trailers for any given game – there’s also Europe. Often we’re left behind. Sometimes we get a cut that’s better than the others. Mind you; sometimes we get the same as the Americans because we speak […]
Blood Bowl out in Europe
Blood Bowl is one of my favourite Games Workshop games of all time. My tem was a mix of humans and dwarves. I played Blood Bowl II and even painted the models. I hate model painting but painted cheerleaders got extra points. This trailer comes from SouthPeak. These guys are the people making the game. […]
Final Fantasy VII remake coming in 2010?
Just as players in Japan are beginning to call out critics as “getting it wrong” over Final Fantasy XIII – the critics loved it, the players complain its too linear – we’ve rumours that Tetsuya Nomura might be returning to Final Fantasy VII. Nomura is the director and character designer made famous by Kingdom Hearts […]
Left 4 Dead 2’s Midnight Riders with disappointing Christmas single
The rockband from Left 4 Dead 2 – who feature strongly as you bash off zombies in a stadium – have released a Christmas single. It’s charmingly titled ” All I Want For Christmas (Is To Kick Your Ass). In the Left 4 Dead 2 mythology The Midnight Riders have vanished and are probably zombies. […]
