I watched this trailer and felt my heart sink. After the disaster that was the launch of Final Fantasy XIV, the re-working and re-launching of that game, and now this trailer, I feel that the Final Fantasy series is dead. It could be revived, but it will require a severe retooling of the direction the … Continue reading »

While Rocksteady (the developer of the first two games … Continue reading »
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII E3 trailer
Square Enix has released the E3 trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII ahead of the expo. It looks like typical, modern Final Fantasy. While I did not like Final Fantasy XIII that much, I did quite enjoy Final Fantasy XIII-2 (see my review here). This doesn’t appear to be terribly different than part 2. It looks … Continue reading »

Angry Birds Star Wars- Luke and Leia trailer
Yes, there is another Angry Birds game coming. And the only way that I consider this relevant to anything is that it is Angry Birds Star Wars. Have a look at this trailer to see the first gameplay footage from the game. Depending on the cost of the game, which releases for download on November 8, 2012, … Continue reading »
Bioshock Infinite- Beast of America trailer
Here is the latest trailer for Bioshock Infinite. This is super-cool. Have a look: I really, really loved the first two Bioshock games. While it will be strange not being in Rapture, I think the change of scenery will do the game good. From the deep blue bottom of the sea to the deep blue skies. Interesting change. … Continue reading »
