Square Enix E3 Lineup
Square Enix has a hell of a lot of games coming out…interestingly, Final Fantasy XIII isn’t on the list, which kind of sucks but at the same time is OK because I don’t own a PS3 yet. Regardless, there are still a ton of great games coming out, the Chrono Trigger remake should be cool,…

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King Review
Before I actually begin this review I think I should make it clear that I really didn’t like Crystal Chronicles. As a fan of the more “traditional” Final Fantasy games, I found Crystal Chronicles to be extremely lacking, just a half-assed attempt to put a “Final Fantasy” title on the Gamecube. So, when I heard…

There’s been no official announcement from Square Enix, but an official Dragon Quest IV site has shown up through Square Enix North America.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker Initial Impressions
I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS) yesterday and I’ve been able to play the game for a good two or three hours so far. I’ve never played a Dragon Quest Monsters game before, so it’s all new to me, even though I’ve seen all the monsters before in other Dragon Quest games. Anyway,…

Wine and Video Games, a Perfect Match
Wine no Hajimekata DS is a Square Enix game about wine. I honestly can’t find out anymore information about the game. Does it tell you what wines go well with what meals? How to identify a good wine compared to a bad wine? I have no idea. Wikipedia has nothing, and IGN simply has this:
