It's the last Final Fantasy to reach our shores. That alone should be enough to make RPG gamers salivate on command, but then Square Enix goes off and remakes the whole damn game. Due to this ground-up re-imagining, any new images of Final Fantasy III should tug at both longtime fans and new-to-the-genre DS owners - the hot 3D graphics and redone storytelling could make it the biggest handheld adventure on the system. Hit the Images tab up above for a blast of fresh new shots that show off a ...

Pokemon the conqueror Next Generation reports that in just four days, the latest Pokemon game - Pokemon Diamond and Pearl - has sold 1.58 million copies in Japan, instantly becoming the fastest-selling DS game ever. Is anyone surprised? Nope. Nintendo sure isn't, or it wouldn't have printed over and a million and a half copies for the first shipment.

You wouldn't think it was big news - but it's caused Sony's stock to dip, and Sony's PR team to fire off an angry retort to Next Generation. Now the question remains... does this even matter?

MS BK WTF Here's a question. Who has the more terrifying fixed plastic grin: Burger King or Brooke Burke? You won't have to wonder for long, because for a mere $3.99 you can suffer through games starring both of them. Starting November 19, Burger King will be offering up a slate of games - playable on any Xbox or Xbox 360 - alongside the purchase of any value meal. The best possible idea - Burger King vs King of All Cosmos - is, sadly, not happening. No, we're getting Pocketbike Racer ...
