News::Final Fantasy IV - PC Review | Chalgyr's Game Room

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: I still remember my first Final Fantasy title - the very first one when I had a chance to play it on the NES. I had a buddy who bought it and absolutely hated it, and was looking to trade it. By that time I had beaten Metroid more times than I could count, so when he offered the swap I took it. I love Metroid but Final Fantasy and its future iterations were on a whole different level for me. Final Fantasy IV is a game I have not played in years, but recall incredibly fondly. Thankfully the JRP genre seems to hold up well over time, because any time you go back to an old favorite, there is the chance that nostalgia will be replaced by disappointment. Not the case here for me with Final Fantasy IV.

News::Heres A Cheaper, Better Final Fantasy XIII Steam Preorder Deal

GG3 writes: "During all the hype for Tokyo Game Show 2014, it was revealed that Final Fantasy XIII would come to Steam, which promptly resulted in tons of preorders on the digital platform. Yet, ordering straight from Valve is usually a lesser good deal than getting Steam copies from competing retailers."

News::Xbox One China release delay was brief, on track for September 29

The Xbox One was all set to release in China this week, but it hit a slight last minute delay. Microsoft has announced that the release is back on though, and will now launch on September 29.

10 games will be available at launch (Naughty Kitties, Trials Fusion, Rayman Legends, Neverwinter Online, Dance Central Spotlight, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Zoo Tycoon, Powerstar Golf, Kinect Sports Rivals, and Forza Motorsport 5) with 70 more in the approval process, and all of them will be digital-only for now.

It's a bit odd, but discs will come later, as will more games of course. While the Xbox One didn't do so hot in Japan it'll be interesting to see how it fares in China.

Amber writes: "How does the creator of Survival Horror define the genre? What films have had the most influence for Tango Gameworks? What scares Shinji Mikami and his team at Tango Gameworks? These questions, and many more, are answered in a new Bethesda Behind-the-Scenes web series we worked on with Adam Sessler. During a recent trip to Tango Gameworks studio in Tokyo, Japan, Game Director Shinji Mikami and other members of the Tango team opened up to Sessler about The Evil Within and their studio culture like never before.

News::Spacecom Review {Critically Sane}

Critically Sane: "Spacecom is an excellent starting point. I do wish the single player campaign was a little more robust, and Im guessing the minimalist nature of the visuals will turn off some players before they give the game its shot. That said, Spacecoms level of detail is just right, offering exactly what is advertised- a quick playing strategy game, giving you that 4X feeling in a mere fraction of the time, resulting in a rewarding experience for those players who take the leap."

News::Comedy Central now has an app on the Xbox One

Comedy Central has just released an app on the Xbox One, and thank goodness, it's not just another "clip app" that shows 30 second bumpers. According to their post, you can watch full episodes of The Daily Show, South Park, Key & Peele, and The Chappelle Show.

They inform you that you should "toss those DVDs," but I highly advise against this -- as we all know with digital, it could be taken away at the flip of a switch.

Now about that HBO Go app that's taken almost a year to release...

Nintendo has just released a new commercial for their New 3DS line, and it seems pretty slick. It gives us a close look at the new button coloring, amiibo functionality, some of the faceplates, and other features.

It's a tad odd though in terms of the Smash Bros. 3DS release. It's been confirmed that many regions won't even get the New 3DS until next year -- at which point, many people will have moved on to the Wii U version of Smash.

I want one, but I hope there's more quality releases in the pipeline for it.

Jae Lee writes: Minimum is quite unlike anything Ive played before.

However, a myriad of bugs and the less than inspiring horde and death match modes hold this title back from true greatness.

News::Flockers: Xbox One Review | GamersFTW

Gamers who have been around a long time will remember a simpler time in gaming. A time where puzzlers thrived and gameplay was simple yet highly addictive. Back then there were two games that were unrivalled in the genre, Worms and Lemmings. Whilst Worms has spawned many sequels and had numerous games replicate it, Lemmings has for some reason, been forgotten. That is, until Team 17 (the very Developers who gave us Worms) put together this little retro throw back gem called Flockers.

Being better than a Matrix sequel is not saying much, I know. But after recently re-watching the whole trilogy (and enjoying it!), it's still nuts how much better the first one was.
