Let's Re-cap Final Fantasy XIII Before Lightning Returns Comes Out
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 4th of February 2014 - 06:00 PM ]
Square Enix has given us a nice little recap of the whole story of Final Fantasy XIII up until now. Just in time for Lightning Returns. I am not one for the 'retro' gaming thing but I would be lying if I didn't get a kick out of the latest re-cap video for Final Fantasy XIII. It is all set up so that anyone who has yet to play Final Fantasy XIII or Final Fantasy XIII 2 can get a run down before Lightning Returns comes out and that they shouldn't need to play the other titles to be able to shell out their cash for the new game. Ok, so that was a lie. While the eight minute video for Final Fantasy XIII is a fun re-cap, there are so many things that are glossed over in the story here. Read More...

Thief Looks Like It Is Full Of Loot And Moral Victories
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 29th of January 2014 - 09:22 PM ]
We have some new screen shots for Thief as well as a bit about how you are urged to take the moral high road during gameplay. There is even a Trophy/Achievement involved… So when you hear a game title like Thief you don't normally think that there will be any sort of positive moral values or overtones. I mean it should be a game about stealing things from people who have too much or just what you want. You know, embodying the concepts of greed and envy; two things that are not usually considered traits of the morally upright. Read More...

Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII is bringing a lot of changes to the franchise with it. Here's a look at how the combat has evolved from the previous title. By now I am sure a good chunk of you have played the Lightning Returns Final Fantasy XIII demo on your respectful consoles. I know I have and I was intrigued and bothered by what I got to play.

by Kenton Winkfield [ Monday, 28th of October 2013 - 04:15 PM ]
While we all sit around waiting for any news we can get about Kingdom Hearts III, Japan gets their glimpses first. During the first annual D23 Expo Japan a gameplay trailer was released filled with all new content that is coming to Kingdom Hearts III. But first, for those who don't already know, D23 is the official Disney Fan Club. It is named after 1923, which was the year Walt Disney first arrived in Hollywood and created the Disney Company. The D23 Expo stands to showcase and inform the Disney fans of upcoming changes to the Disney universe, whether those changes relate to theme parks, movies, or video games. Read More...

Square Enix Announces Another Kingdom Hearts Appetizer
by Kenton Winkfield [ Monday, 21st of October 2013 - 10:33 PM ]
After the initial announcement of Kingdom Hearts III and the release window of 2015, I personally have been keeping my ear to the ground to find any and every shred of news about the game. Of course, the announcement also spurred me to dedicate the rest of my free time to playing every other Kingdom Hearts game I own. Thankfully shortly after Kingdom Hearts III's initial announcement another announcement came from Square Enix telling the world of the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX collection. Read More...

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Is Bringing Customization To A New Franchise High
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 17th of October 2013 - 10:52 PM ]
Here we go with some new gameplay for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Not only is it gameplay though but it is a showcasing of some of the new locations, missions, combat, and customization you will be getting when it hits this February. Speaking on customization, to me that is the real focus here in the video with sub-title descriptions. I am not talking just changing some armor pieces or paradigms. From the looks of things we will get to customize our combat and quick attack methods by mapping specific attacks to the buttons on the controller for one. Read More...

Steal A Look At Some New Thief Gameplay
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 11th of October 2013 - 08:55 PM ]
Finally we get something a bit more concrete to look at to the public for Thief. As the below video claims we are now getting a good chuck of actual gameplay for the game and it looks…all too familiar. Like way too familiar. Almost like I am watching another title that has had a face-lift to be passed off as another game. Oh, I know now. It looks like the gameplay of Dishonored without the stylized look. Read More...

Can't Wait For Lightning Returns FFXIII? Here's The Opening Cinematic
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 3rd of October 2013 - 05:15 PM ]
Man February 11th is so far off for all of us not living in Japan or willing to import Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Wouldn't it be great if we could spoil the opening to the game well in advance of the official launch in Japan? You know it would be and I figured as much so here it is in all of its glory; in English at that. Now we don't have to wait or have to watch the dubbing/subtitled versions hitting the web shortly after the Japanese launch. In case you are worried about spoilers or anything, I wouldn't worry too much unless you are still playing through the first two games in the Final Fantasy XIII storyline. Read More...

Murdered: Soul Suspect... Now With E3 Walkthrough
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 12th of July 2013 - 09:27 PM ]
Words can paint an amazing picture and level of detail in the mind's eye. But you know what is better? Actually getting to see things with your own eyes. We have just that for Murder: Soul Suspect straight from E3. Well at least Square Enix and Airtight games were nice enough to provide us and the world with a wonderful view of what they were showing in their booth at E3. While I will do the self serving thing and point you to my full write up, it was mostly based off what you are going to get to see in the next 25 minutes. You also don't have to wait in the long line to check it out, so there is that bonus too. Read More...

More Information About Kingdom Hearts III Has Been Revealed
by Kenton Winkfield [ Wednesday, 19th of June 2013 - 10:08 PM ]
Recently a Japanese video game news magazine called Famitsu had a conversation with Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, in an attempt to get some more information about the game. Thankfully we were able to get a translation of the information. Nomura has confirmed that the game will pick up where Dream Drop Distance left off and will be the final game in the "Dark Seeker" saga that was started in the first Kingdom Hearts game. The team is currently deciding which worlds will be used in the game. I personally hope we get a Star Wars world. Read More...

E3 2013 Impression: Murdered: Soul Suspect
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 17th of June 2013 - 08:16 PM ]
If there was one title I was overly excited to check out at E3 this year it was Murdered: Soul Suspect. Just the basic announcement by its self gave quite a few reasons why it could be an amazing new IP, but I got to actually sit down and check out a bit more of the game than has been shown. Here's a bit of what I am sure we will all be able to see here in the not too distant future. As has been mentioned in the announcement, we get to play as Ronan O'Connor who used to be an investigator in Salem, Massachusetts with a shady past. In what seems like an attempt to not force an exact belief structure, Ronan gets dropped in The Dusk (Ghost realm) that is a bridge between the land of the living and whatever is the "next.

The Announcement We've All Been Waiting For: Kingdom Hearts III
by Kenton Winkfield [ Monday, 17th of June 2013 - 04:08 PM ]
It's been ten years since we first met Sora in Kingdom Hearts and watched him team up with Donald and Goofy on a quest to find King Mickey and ultimately save the various worlds in the Disney universe from the clutches of the Heartless. Through the next nine games to be released we have watched Sora and company grow up while facing new foes and making new friends along the way. As well as learning of the history of the Kingdom Hearts universe and everyone in it. On June 10th, 2013, during Sony's E3 Press Conference, a teaser for Kingdom Hearts III was shown with the words "In Development" displaying after it ended. Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 11th of June 2013 - 04:59 PM ]
Here we go. A new trailer for Thief. Let's see what Square Enix and Eidos have up their sleeves for us in the new game. Hopefully it is some amazing game play or an awesome CGI story type affair to let us know where Thief is going to take us this go around. It's been almost a decade since we had a good solid Thief game so please don't let us down. Wait… it's a live action trailer with a voice over? Maybe 2 seconds of game play unless that was some fancy CGI. Read More...

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 7th of June 2013 - 10:32 PM ]
It looks like they were not kidding when Square Enix wanted to have the Final Fantasy XIII world run for years. We'll be moving into about 5 now with the release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and the hopes of Final Fantasy Versus XIII still looming around. There are again rumors that we will get some news on that at E3, but as I just said that is just rumor. That is also not what we are doing here right now either. Below we have a nice, what looks to be like, in-game E3 trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Read More...
