When Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) comes out, I expect to spend countless hours grinding, which is why I'm hoping the battle system won't be a hassle to play. Thanks to new high quality screens from the most recent FFXIII spread on Famitsu, we're now able to take a closer look a...
One upped by Japan once again, we get to see more stuff that will most likely be in our dreams only. Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 5 BioHazard 5's street date in Japan (March 5) will also see a simultaneous release of respective console bundles for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Just how badly does it need one? Well, the Xbox 360 now has a base of 28 million units sold worldwide, widening its lead over the PS3 by 8 million. Its continuing success is in no small part thanks to the price cut Microsoft introduced last year.
Glenn M: LittleBigPlanet Comments: With controversy erupting at its release, its main character showing up all over the place, more costumes than any video game character - new ones every week, and gameplay unlike anything we've seen before, LittleBigPlanet is THE game of the year..

Comments: Well, I could easily give away a game as the biggest flop this year (Too Human, I'm looking at you!), but generally speaking, Nintendo not releasing more first-party titles this year is the biggest disappointment of all. Don't get me wrong, Mario Kart Wii and Brawl are pretty muc...

Seemingly, this is where the playing field now lies: if you want good sequels, look to the established devs and major players in the publishing biz: Konami, EA, Capcom, Square Enix, Sony, Microsoft, OK fine, maybe even Nintendo despite their skimpy first-party library in 2008. But for ne...

Here's a thought I want to leave you with though: isn't it strange that most of the good new IPs out there are coming from small studios and independent devs? Look at de Blob and Braid. And then there's LittleBigPlanet - their team in Media Molecule started out so small, it's quite surprising...
Developers can hit the ground running with sequels. The game's story and art style have a solid base, the tech and tools are stable and the basic gameplay mechanics have gone through plenty of tuning in the first game. It's certainly a liberating experience when you're no longer arguing ove...

Atari President Phil Harrison wants to prove Activision wrong for dropping Ghostbusters (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS) like a hot potato when it merged with Blizzard: What Bobby, perhaps unhelpfully said, was that those games were franchises which wouldn t make $100m of revenue an...
