It’s been 3 long years since Crisis Core, the prequel to Final Fantasy VII, was announced at E3 2004. Since I’m a nerd with almost no life to speak of, I did the unspeakable.But ways & means is not the point of this roughly penned import review. Long story short: it's a masterpiece. Gameplay Crisis Core’s gameplay is relative simple....

As a follow up to an earlier article, Crisis Core's official soundtrack is set to debut on October 10th. Luckily, fans across the world now have an official track listing for a soundtrack that is worth the import cash. Composed by Takeharu Ishimoto, the OST is a tad over 55 songs long, and while Ishimoto remixes a good number of...

Not to be outdone by it's PSP counterpart, 358/2 Days is swinging into action as well. But since most of it's scans were borish and unentertaining (not to mention my own, hideously unfair slant and bias) I whittled the scans down to a lovely three. 358/2 Days, for the DS, looks to focus more on Organization XIII and the Roxas/Axel...

I wanted to let you all know that I've imported Crisis Core, and the game, for lack of a better word, has knocked my socks off. No really, xntn agrees too. And Orgy does too. Everything about it is addicting. After Dirge of Cerberus' performance, I had begun to lose hope. My hope is now restored. Crisis Core is ridiculously...

Tri Ace, the company behind Star Ocean, is at it again. This time, they're taking their game--Infinite Undiscovery--to the Xbox 360. "The underlying concept of the game is discovery, and the impact those discoveries have.

In case you've not yet noticed--Square's been blitzing the Tokyo Game Show, currently well underway in Japan. Today, they released trailers for all three of their XIII games. Noticeably absent from the PS3 entrant screenings at the Dread Fortress Azk--I mean, Closed Mega Theater, was any gameplay. That's right, the trailers were all cinematic. And since I'm personally very lazy,...
