Tomb Raider With Mostly Invisible Lara Croft is a Little Creepy

Ok, so it would seem that the PC port of Tomb Raider seems to have some minor issues with some Nvidia cards. How minor, you ask? Well there are some kaleidoscopic visuals for some and some hairs out of place for others, but the video above takes the cake. [Kotaku]

Square Enix Usurped EA and Zynga as the King of Micro-Transactions!

You guessed it folks, Square destroyed all of our hope for what could be a great nostalgic trip by instituting a horrible string of microtransactions in to yet another game. Kotaku did the math and found that the iOS game could end up costing you over $50 to play, that’s not even including “resurrection items”…

Is FF Versus XIII the next Duke Nukem Forever?

Why is this the image that I think of when I think of FFVersus:XIII? Because this is what I have been doing since it was originally teased since E3 2006. What’s that? No way this game has been in production for most likely OVER 7 years? WRONG!!!! It has and prepare for an even longer…

PSA: You can now officially play FF3 ANYWHERE!

Sorry for the Hiatus folks but the arrival of my new baby boy has pulled away a lot of my time (post coming momentarily). In the meantime, I have picked up the DS port of FF3 on my Android Tablet and am so far impressed with the presentation. FF3 (or just FF in the states, lol)…

Kingdom Hearts + Pixar = Wet Dream!

Kotaku write Jason Shreier is reporting that Tai Yasue (SqEnix producer and Kingdom Hearts Vet) wants to add Pixar movies to the KH universe. I for one love this idea and am “this” close to starting a petition to make it so. Think about it, how awesome would it be to help Buzz and Woody rescue…

At least one Cranial Rectal Extraction has occurred at Square-Enix

Sure it’s not Versus XIII nor Kingdom Hearts 3 but by golly if I’m not a little excited about future Squenix titles to come out. Yes, I’m a sucker for pretty graphics, but I’m also a sucker for games that harken back to a simpler time when all you really worried about was how many…

MOTHER OF GOD!

Square-Enix… Tech Demo… E3 2012… WATCH!!!! Ok, that might be a little too vague, but let me fill in the blanks. This is the video of the Square-Enix Tech Demo, title Agni’s Philosophy, for their new Luminous Engine. The thing that is especially great about this is that this is not just the Square FMV…

Is Square-Enix getting better at making 360 games?

New comparison screens were dropped by Kotaku, daring you to tell the difference between the PS3 and 360 versions of FFXIII-2. Now, while I may be known as a PS3 fanboy here, I am also a person who is willing to give the 360 a fair shake when due. From these pictures I can deduce that one…

Latest XIII-2 video focuses on the story of Lightning

Not much is known about the whereabouts of Lightning in FFXIII-2, but Square-Enix wants you to know it definitely will play a bigger role than just trying to find her. It appears that they are trying to merge the visual style of Versus XIII more in to the landscape since they are supposed to be…
