Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions interview: many missed it on the
Eidos has revealed the release date for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
PC and PS2 versions of the remake will be in shops from June 1 while PSP owners looking get their hands on the small version will have to wait a little longer.
"Our goal was to capture the essence of what made the original Tomb Raider game such an incredible adventure, and use this to create a brand new Tomb Raider game. Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've
The next installment of the Battlefront series has moved exclusively to PSP in the form of Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
Buried within the info sheet for the new PSP version comes word that Renegade Squadron will be the only original Battlefront game of 2007. That pretty much crushes any hopes we had that the next generation version of the multiplayer shooter will be released this
You know, game publishers are always shoving their front cover art at us - usually trying to talk us into writing it up as if it's actual news as if it has any impact whatsoever on how good the game is - hello, sports games! But they almost never show us the back of the box. That's because the back is where the slick, suit-wearing liars-for-hire from marketing try their best to convince you that you need this game. Never mind that GamesRadar gave it a 2 out of 10 - the theme song is from a band
The big problem with cell phone games is that they tend to be designed for non-gamers. Sure, we know there are probably a zillion more copies of Snake out there slithering around on cell phones than there are Gears of War spinning in 360s, but that doesn't mean Snake doesn't suck. However, that may all be about to change with the release of God of War Betrayal, the first mobile game we've seen that actually had us pricing a new phone.
Slated to hit this June for Verizon customers and in July
The previous rumors are true - Star Ocean 4 is on the way, officially confirmed at the Square Enix Party press conference which took place in Japan moments ago.
Square Enix wasn't giving away too much, though; no gameplay details were revealed and the platform and release date remains unspecified.
Development is being handled by Tri-Ace, which also took care of the previous PS2 game, Till the End of
Electronic Arts just announced their tie-in title for The Simpsons Movie, and the development team hopes to create "the most original game ever." We'll look past the fact that it's already culling ideas from a licensed property and just continue on with the news.
Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa are all playable characters once again, but there's a twist - at the beginning of the game the family learns they've just been licensed for use in a video game. Everything beyond that point is pretty much
Perhaps not at the top of the list, but probably on the list, of movies that should... err, could be made into videogames is Napoleon Dynamite. We still have little information on how this insta-cult movie is being adapted for handheld gaming systems, but given the - not misplaced - dedication of Napoleon fans, we can see how it could be a good idea.
The game will feature the sweet characters from the movie including Napoleon, Uncle Rico, Pedro, Kip and... Tina the llama! At least one game's
Videogames are supposed to be fun, right? That's why we play them. That's why we sink endless hours and countless dollars into them. Because we enjoy playing them, correct? You certainly wouldn't know it by watching these people. They punch television screens, they hurl keyboards in their friends' faces and they make their mothers cry. They speak in a mixed language of unprintable curse words, juvenile whines and furious grunts.
Final Fantasy fans are about to receive the best possible news ever - soon they'll be able to decide which hero or villain is the strongest of them all. The previously mentioned but still mysterious Dissidia now appears to be a fighting game, as scans have surfaced showing FFIX animal-man Zidane trouncing supervillain Kuja. Maybe it's a full brawler, maybe there's more of a strategic element to it, we're not sure yet. Good thing we've got a man in Japan furiously scribbling notes at Square
