Final Fantasy May Come To Wii U
Final Fantasy May Come To Wii U: "
Square Enix, the studio behind the Final Fantasy series have been talking about the possibilities of a Final Fantasy game coming to the newly announced Wii U.
Yoshinori Kitase, the producer behind Final Fantasy XIII-2 has said:
“Three or four years ago we joked around about developing a Final Fantasy game on the Wii Fit balance board. But after seeing Wii U revealed at Nintendo’s conference, we are now considering the possibilities of bringing the Final Fantasy series to the format.”
At the moment though, the focus is on Final Fantasy XIII-2 which is due to be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in early 2012.

Child Of Eden review
Child Of Eden review: "
Motion control breathes new life into a niche genre.
Child Of Eden is the product of an auteur at the height of his powers, with the free rein to realise a supremely ambitious project and the restraint to make it universal rather than self-serving. At its core are the on-rails shooter mechanics of Rez, but the experience is one that escapes further genre categorisation, creating a level of involvement beyond what its 2001 progenitor achieved.
"Duke Nukem Forever review
Duke Nukem Forever review: "
So, what do 14 years of development do for a game?
There’s never been another game quite like Duke Nukem Forever. That’s not because it’s inventive, technologically dazzling or particularly memorable, but because there literally hasn’t been another major production that’s taken 14 years to complete.

FFXIII-2 – Noel is the star, hybrid soundtrack, more: "

Culling from Dengeki, Andriasang reports new character Noel will be the primary protagonist of FFXIII-2.
Director Motomu Toriyama said Noel will be the game’s frontline fighter, with companion [FFXIII-ending-spoiler-name-redacted] taking a backseat support role.
Noel is said to a be a cool character, the equivalent of FFXIII’s Lightning. He’s a monster hunter from Gran Pulse.
FFXIII composer Masashi Hamauzu has returned for the sequel, and aims to keep the feel of the first title, while new composers will be brought in to add new material.
Following on from comments that NPCs in towns will have AI, Toriyma revealed townsfolk will shelter from weather. Weather will also have an effect on battle.
The demo from E3 is said to have been spliced together from two separate chapters, with story segments ruthlessly cut. The same section in the full game will tell the story of how the two protagonists meet.
As well as a third monster party member, players will sometimes temporarily recruit extra guest characters.
FFXIII-2 is expected on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Japan in December, and everywhere else in early 2012.
"Duke Nukem Forever Review
Duke Nukem Forever Review: "
You've met Duke Nukem, or at least people like him. You may run into him when you go back home to the town where you went to high school. While the rest of his cohort has moved on with their lives, going to new and interesting places, Duke Nukem is puttering around his home town, drinking at dive bars, and yet through some magic (or meth) still seems to be filled with a particular pride at his lack of accomplishment. Duke is, as he himself would say, a douche.
Duke Nukems Forever's biggest problem is Duke Nukem. As romanticized as the character has become, Duke in Duke Nukem 3D was little more than a stand-in to spout lines from '80s action flicks. Duke in his most recent incarnation is a caricature of his former self. He's crossed the line from charmingly foul-mouthed to obnoxious and embarrassing. Handing pixelated strippers cash for a quick flash was funny in 1996. DNF takes that three-second scene that in its day was worth just a slight chuckle, and turns it into an unbelievably boring 30-minute scavenger-hunt through a strip club.

PlayStation 3 | Under Siege Review: "
"
Under Siege provides quick real-time strategy battles, but overly tough difficulty and a lack of depth prevent the game from being a complete success.
Score: 7.0 / good
