Final Fantasy XIII-2 Trailer

By Mark

Well it's not the 20th but a low res version of the trailer for FFXIII-2 has hit the web, the developers are promising it will be a better title than the original in every single aspect.

Whether that's to be believed is a matter of opinion. Anyway here it is -

The Last Story Begins TV Campaign

By Mark

The Last Story launches on the 27th of this month in Japan so Mistwalker Studios are kicking the advertising into gear with a sort of mini trailer.

It depicts main character Elza and his mercenary crew in battle along with other random segments of the game and remember, this is a Wii title and it looks fantastic for one.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Official

By Mark

There'd been evidence of Square Enix registering the domain for Final Fantasy XIII-2 to suggest that there was a sequel in the works and now it's all official. With the strikingly strange part...it's due for release this year in Japan.

A trailer was shown off at a big secret Squar Enix event but we'll be able to see it on the 20th January so keep your eyes peeled, the trailer shows FFXIII protagonist 'Lightning' crossing swords with an unknown purple haired character.

It won't be directed by the series character designer this time but instead is handed over to Motomu Toriyama so make of that what you will. As to what type of game this will be we're not sure, it may still just be an RPG or may not but when we know you'll know.

Update - Now with extra added screenshot. Yum.

Mass Effect 2 PS3 'Noticeably Better' Than Demo

By Mark

For the PS3 gamers out there that tried their hand at the Mass Effect 2 demo released a while back shouldn't fret if they found performance or visuals a little unsatisfactory as over on the Official US Playstation Blog Chris Priestly (community coordinator of Bioware) said:

'The demo was, for certification and testing reasons, about a 2 month older build than the final “what you will play when you get it home” version. I think you’ll see that the game is noticeably better at launch. =)'

So worry not folks, the game will be the definitive version as said by Bioware themselves this isn't a port and alot of work has gone into the release.
