Okay so as I’ve said before, I loved Transformers: War for Cybertron and in case you were wondering the sequel is still kicking and today we learned more about it. They’ve given us a release date and it’s just over a month away. August 21st baby. So in case the slow season of summer has been getting to you, now you’ll have a story worth playing. I personally can’t wait to smash up some decepticons. Oh also they managed to release a new trailer. I goatta say it sends chills down my spine.Read More

Quite possibly the most beloved Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy VII, will be going digital on Windows PC Square Enix confirmed this afternoon. FFVII was released 15 years ago, all the way in 1997, and has been revered by fans and critics alike. This digital release is perhaps the closest that we will get to an HD remake, despite Square Enix’s teases back before the release of the PlayStation 3.
This updated version of Final Fantasy VIII isn’t just a straight port. The game features achievements, an editor that allows players to make out their stats, gain new items and more. I hope that the editor offers some kind of advanced control because if it is just the manipulation of your party members, their gear and statistics, it will make the game very easy!
This new version of FFVII will be compatible with Windows 7 (the original 1998 port does not work on modern operating systems) and will be released on Square Enix’s digital store later this year.

Eugen Systems released additional free downloadable content for Wargame: European Escalation today. The “Conquest” DLC adds a new mode (which also goes by the moniker “conquest”). This mode, playable against the AI or other people, is based around seizing and maintaining control of victory sectors on the map rather than annihilating the enemy’s forces. It also comes with 7 new maps (bringing the total number of maps to around 27). To commemorate the new DLC, Wargame is half off on Steam from now until the 9th of July.
You can read my review of Wargame here. Read on if you’re interested in my initial impressions of the DLC.Read More

Get ready to restart the Clash of Heroes with the release of Marvel Vs Capcom: Origins for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this week. Origins is actually a compilation title comprised of Marvel Super Hereos and MVC Clash of Super Heroes. This is the first time that both of either of these titles have been released digitally, and I am sure it has been many years since a lot of games have thought about them outside of arcades filled with 90’s cabinets.
It has been many years since I’ve played the original Marvel Vs Capcom. The biggest memory it brings to life is sitting in a pizzaera with my fiancée (8 years going strong) battling over slices of Pizza. To be honest we’re pretty even, and maybe with the release or Origins we’ll take the battle into the online space over Xbox Live or the PSN.
MVC Origins will retail for 1200 MSP ($15 usd) when it releases this fall.
