The latestFamitsumagazineshows offsome new screenshots forDissidia: Final Fantasyand revealsFinal Fantasy V‘s key players, Bartz and Exdeath. As far asFFcharacters go, these guys are often overlooked, but I did always have a soft spot for Exdeath, even though he was never really that spectacular. Don’t forget to check out ourTGS hands-on impressionsofDissidia. It’s looking pretty decent, and should be a great bit of portable fan service. Also, Bartz is called Butz in these scans....

The folks gearing up for theStreet Fighter IVart exhibition in Alhambraaren’t the only ones celebrating the game’s release with pencils, pens and brushes.

I know we’ve all seen Chad Warden, but there’s quite a few other ones out there that are just as entertaining....

You know who’s fat? The Princess, that’s who. She’s so fat (and hungry, like fat people, of course) that when her PlayStation Network title gets patched, the developers also have to deliver brownies with it. Yes,Fat Princesswill be receiving a patch on January 21, along with it a brand new city-themed map named “Brownie Town.” Patch 1.04 will “fix an issue with the online rankings, so now the All-Time & Monthly scores for Team Deathmatch and Invasion have been swapped to post correctly....

Tyrone Spellman is a jerk. Actually, “jerk” doesn’t quite cover the guy who beat his 17 month old child to death after she accidentally knocked over his Xbox 360. He became so upset by a child too young to realize what she had done that he punched her in the face and literally threw her about the room. I’m probably going to have to spend a few hours coming up with a new insult for this guy, and it’s probably going to take a few packs of smokes, a bottle of Mad Dog and a thesaurus full of swears....

Sega has revealed some information and one measly screenshot of Bizarre Creation’s mysterious next-gen title,The Club. It appears the game will be a third-person action shooter with a focus on short street battles (3 to 4 minutes).

As demonstrated by this developer walkthrough, the expansion pack adds a number of new playable creatures (the “Puffer” for instances), as well as new enemies. Also new is the ability to play mix and match multiplayer in the game’s campaign (hold on — there’s a “campaign”?...

Talk about a nostalgia-fest!Last weekhad more lengthy bonus question comments than ever before, and I’m pretty sure I read every single one of them. There was so much insight that I even pulled outWind Wakerand replayed through all of it over the past week (I’m beating it after this debate!). So, what was the most legendaryLegend of Zeldaof them all? Here are the final results: The rest of theZeldagames had only one to three votes, and were omitted from the list....

This makes it possible for many gamers out there (including myself) to play a Crytek game the way it is meant to be played....

The team has sent out a new video, which offers a brief look at the action from the shark’s perspective, and what types of actions divers will be tasked with performing. Namely, stealing, tagging, and dying. Plenty of death all around. The hilarity of seeing human names paired up with monstrous sharks is a nice contrast to the terrifying locationDepthtakes place in....
