It has been two months since the release of Final Fantasy XIII on the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360. Some – including myself – were among the many people who began playing on release day, just clamoring for the return to the Final Fantasy series. Meanwhile, others lost interest in the game or are saving the experience in order to play titles that were released around the same time (read: God Of War III). I’ve compiled a list of things to remember about the game as you ready yourself for a 60+ hour dive into this mammoth role playing game. The voice acting is not movie quality. Read More...

Fresh from PAX East, Mike and Binh give Brian a rundown of how the travelling and three days of fun went down. Discussion hits all the highlights: booths, booze and food. We also discuss what we've been playing, including FFXIII, FFVII, Suikoden, Tetris, and Mario Kart DS. Feature-wise, Bargain Binh gives you the inside scoop on running a Civilization, while Netflix Pix hits the high seas and you get two for one On The DL. Remember to get the word out to the masses by rating and reviewing us on iTunes and the Zune Marketplace. It really only takes a few moments. Read More...

Brian Bentley and myself are joined by Adelle Starr from Gametopia as we party up to review Square-Enix's very own Final Fantasy XIII. In the podcast we talk about the good, the bad, and the somewhat ugly about the game. Read More...

In our latest episode of the Aggrocast, we discuss World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, and Retro Game Challenge during our What We've Been Playing segment. Bargain Binh sees a civil war in the comic world for less than twenty dollars. As Brian takes us on the DL, proclaims "Hail To The King, Baby" with an XBLA Arcade title of a classic PC FPS. Mike drops three comedians available on his Netflix Picks to keep the laughs coming. We discuss a few news topics this week as well. Read More...

Don't Panic! I've always wanted to start off with that. But as it says, don't panic. There has not been an announcement of a delay, set back or some other event to hindering Final Fantasy XIII from dropping on time. It is just a reference from the new trailer below. For once the characters of the story actually see how everything is happening in a string of bad luck. Now, if only they could reference the horrible voice acting that seems to be plaguing this new trailer. The trailer itself is just another great montage of scenes and voice acting from the English version due to come out in two months. Read More...

So the announcement was made for when we would all get to have the fun the Japanese and importers will get here in a few weeks. But is there more of what the game will look like outside of the little the video clip showed us all? There really wasn't and it was starting to look like we would have to wait to see some until after the 17th of December. Well don't worry at all now, we have 33 new shots of what the game will look like for those Japanese and importers. The eventually us in Norther America and Europe. Read More...

And look, they were called in. Well at least seven of them. Seven glorious new looks at this highly anticipated game that seems to be forever off on the horizon; teasing all of us in North America or pretty much anywhere that isn't Japan since they do get it this Winter. Those damn Japanese*. These screens show off a little bit of the CGI that Square-Enix is well known for, as well as some of the in-game stuff and combat system. The aesthetics are something that has yet to let me down in any way for this game. I just really hope that the storytelling aspect of the game isn't being hurt at all because they are spending months trying to get the shine and opacity looking perfect in the ice levels.

More Screen Shots Of Final Fantasy XIII While there is no confirmation on when the US will get their version of the FFXIII demo, the Japanese got one with the re-release of Advent Children, and only rumors of such a thing, what are we outside of Japan to do? Outside of try to find videos of the demo on youtube, or fuzzy screen shots of said demo, or poor translations from blogs about said demo, or well I could go on and on but I won't. But hopefully you get the point there. Well we are kind of in luck if the "Special Look" at FFXIII on the BluRay US version of the game turns out to be just another trailer for the game.

Rise of the Argonauts So I swear I heard about this over a year ago. I could be wrong. Or I could be right. In either instance, this game looks like it could be epic. Pun intended as always. This game is suppose to be a pretty close telling of the Greek Legends of yore, with a little new world twist to get a broader audience than freaks like me who are all about the Greek stories. Not too sure why they are making a god, Pan, into a lowly mortal magician. There could be more going on, but from has been released here, it doesn't look that way. Read More...
