Is this the Final Fantasy XIII North American box art? (Final Fantasy XIII)

Nov 9, 2009

RPG Land discusses what is still unconfirmed, eventually saying, "...Furthermore, it's sporting a T rating instead of RP, which again puts it in the minority. Does Play-Asia know something we don't? While one must always be cautious, these retail leaks of info and images have been slightly more reliable than usual, lately, so it seems worth considering, though we'll say again: it's far from official."

They have the ability to jump high, reaching locations otherwise inaccessible; and the ability to find treasures, an exclamation point appearing above their heads whenever they sense something, notifying you to dig for treasure."

The Bell Tolls for More Assassin's Creed (Assassin's Creed II)

Nov 8, 2009

Critical Gamer Writes: There's no new information in this commercial for Assassin's Creed 2, but it still manages to turn the hype knob to 11. Ubisoft still has a lot to prove though, possibly more than any other game release this year. Thankfully, we'll know the whole story in a little over a week, but this video doesn't make the wait any easier.

It's also interesting to note that this commercial pretty much pretends the Xbox 360 version doesn't exist. This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened, and in fact you'd think the same about the Playstation 3 version of Modern Warfare 2 – still, it's interesting to speculate on what this could mean for differences between the two versions.

Wipeout HD "Ad Update" Affects Graphics, Gameplay? (WipEout HD - PS3 Network)

Nov 7, 2009

PSXextreme: We're used to seeing advertisements in games these days and while it usually involves little more than a simple billboard or a strategically placed vending machine, there are times when it's a bit more - shall we say - in your face. However, it's a much bigger issue if these ads are actually having a negative impact on the gameplay: it seems a new patch has arrived for Wipeout HD; known as update 2.10, we didn't hear much in the way of details, but we know it tossed advertisements into the game and the hardcore fans are none too happy about this "update."

BeefJack: Music DLC Roundup - 7/11 (Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock)

Nov 7, 2009

BeefJack writes: "You can say what you want about AFI, too emo to be goth, and too emo to be emo, and if that hasn't put you off you'll find an incredible band here. With a knack of writing insanely passionate and catchy tunes AFI have dug out a brilliant niche. Although The Leaving Song PT II could've easily taken this spot, Love Like Winter may be the better song for those new to the band."
