You may or may not need the Rosetta Stone to decipher that message....

It’s only fair, right? While my list often things I lovedabout the import version ofFinal Fantasy XIIIwas quite easy to make, this counterpoint was a bit more difficult. I didn’t want to nitpick, but I did want to have an even ten to match up. To tell the truth, I could have gone on for a lot more than ten entries on the “loved” list, while this one was more of a stretch....

There’s a demo forNo More Heroeson the PSN right now. I’m looking forward to it but what about you? Have you tried the demo yet? In other news, Nintendo dropped the price in all regions and it’s going for $169.99 in America. Early adopters who already own the 3DS will be given ten free NES and ten free Game Boy Advance games to make up for the $80 drop. Pretty insane for such a fast price drop, especially from Nintendo....

Here’s a gallery of creepy screenshots from Phosphor’sThe Dark Meadow, which wasannounced yesterdayfor iOS devices. It seems that more studios are getting confident enough to put what some would call “proper” games on iOS, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Phosphor caught a lot of attention with its upcomingAwakened, soThe Dark Meadowought to be a nice test of the budding studio’s skill. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the team nails it, because these are guys with a lot of great ideas and I’m rooting for them....

Hey, wow, a blurry picture! I know .. I was kind of ashamed to have to use it, but if you peer at the screen with a magnifying glass while squinting and clicking your heels together three times, you will see that it’s an ad for a new track pack coming November 19th featuring three songs from The Killers: “Mr. Brightside,” “Losing Touch” and “Human.” The latter two tracks are from their latest album,Day & Age, while the first is from their first album,Hot Fuss....

He is one of the most iconic videogame characters ever created, his love of banana coins is known the world over, and his new game, themost excellentDonkey Kong Country Returns, comes out in just a few days for the Wii (review coming soon!). But behind this furry life of banana bliss lies a simple gorilla with a dark past....

Attention allTrackManialovers who also happen to own a DS: you’re going to want to pencil in March 17 with a big ol’ star on your calendar. Atlus recently nabbed publishing rights for the North American release ofTrackMania DSand confirmed that the game will cost $29.99 when it hits retail next year. While I have a sort of love/hate relationship with my DS, the track editor (shown above) certainly appeals to my creative side and makes me want to start thinking about pulling out my dusty, mistreated handheld … or not....

Transformers: War for Cybertronis coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 soon, and GameTrailers has wangled itself the exclusive trailer. The game, developed by High Moon Studios, is set before the Transformers leave Cybertron and come to Earth — this means that annoying human characters are nowhere to be seen, and all the robots transform into their cool Cybertronian vehicles. High Moon doesn’t have much of a history, but I choose to remain optimistic about this new game....
