A new rumor has surfaced on foreign site, RuliWeb. When translated, it says:
"This [keym] it comes out with PS3 and, the rumor is going round. It goes to battle to TGS it says that 2007. (Only reference do as it is.)"Pretty much states there is a rumor going around that this game is to be announced at the Tokyo Game Show. It could be a fake, or a site that knows it's stuff. But seriously, how many Final Fantasy XIII's do we need?
If you remember him when we first posted about him, now you can watch him and all his blubbery glory. Jiggle jiggly jiggle!

Hey, another day note coming for you. Trying to get more into the habit of doing this, so get used to it. =]
Anyway, today was cool, played some pool, and chilled out. I went to my local GameStop today. I know a guy who works there, so he dropped me the demo for Ratchet & Clank, and it's very great. I don't want to ruin it for you because tomorrow I will be posting impressions on it.
I was thinking about buying High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition, not sure if it's good though, on the fact that there are no reviews out yet. If you guys can drop me a tip on it's value, go ahead, it'd be appreciated.
Guess thats it. Enjoy your Saturday.

You'd think Square Enix would get tired of toying with us and announce the damn thing already. Here is another hint at a Final Fantasy VII remake. It's inside Crisis Core's limited edition bundle, there is a mini-book that features images from Final Fantasy VII's technical demo and the following text:
"We hope to meet Final Fantasy VII AGAIN!"I think this year is the winner, can anybody say "major announcement at the Tokyo Game Show of 2007".
Elena Fischer is lead designer of the upcoming PlayStation 3 adventure game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. PS3Fanboy and her sat down to talk about her upcoming game. Inspired by the old Indiana Jones of yore, she wants to bring much more than "Tomb Raider with a guy." Read the interview at the link.

The guys over at PSU posted an article on the PlayStation 3, and it's lost exclusives, and it's gained exclusives. They basically explain how Sony could of kept them. Lets look at the list of lost exclusives.
- Assassin's Creed (According to Newsweek, Sony played the waiting game and lost because Microsoft jumped in and offered generous terms for Assassins Creed to be multiplatform)The next list are titles that could have been released on the same date if Sony would of pushed out their development kit faster and offered up some cash.
- Bladestorm: Hundred Years War
- Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom states they want to share the love on all systems... but games like Dead Rising clearly show they are willing to do exclusives)
- Dynasty Warriors 6
- Fatal Inertia
- Mercenaries 2 World in Flames (Publisher EA made the choice to move the game to multiplatform)
- The Wall (Little is known about the title but in a recent interview Play Ten revealed that The Wall will now be coming to the Xbox 360)
- Unreal Tournament 3 (Once only announced as a PS3 and PC title, Epic switched and now has Xbox 360 as a listed platform for 08)
- Virtua Tennis 3
- Virtua Fighter 5 (fans were asking for a 360 version, and developers really wanted to make it, so they gave in)
- Bioshock (We've been hearing that Bioshock may be hitting the PS3 this next spring)The list could keep going. But as you, me, and the PSU reporter can see is that Sony has missed out and cost the PlayStation 3 owners time, waiting for months while XBox 360 users are already enjoying the games. All the PSU reporter has to say is WTF Sony? And you can count my questioning in on that too.
- Medal of Honor Airborne (Out now on Xbox 360 but pushed back till November for PS3)
- The Elder Scrolls Oblivion (PS3 version a year later)
- F.E.A.R. (Delayed on PS3)
- Stranglehold (Delayed on PS3)
- Two Worlds (Two Worlds The Temptation is due out sometime next year, Top Ware is currently working on a concept piece for SCEA to approve)
- GRAW 2
- Rainbow Six Vegas
- Monster Madness: The EX
- DiRT
- Fight Night Round 3
