Valkyrie Profile Lenneth Figure

On the Comic Con floor, Square Enix rolled out the first of the merchandise that will be soon be available on their upcoming U.S. online store, some for sale, some for preview. There were plenty of Kingdom Hearts figures to be seen and of course, any Final Fantasy character you could think of ranging in price from fairly cheap to you-better-take-out-a-bank-loan. This particular one from Valkyrie Profile really caught my eye because of the amount of detail involved. It's not just a figure, it's an entire scene. Something about the ones like this always make me giddy. I certainly could never afford it and I'm not even sure that it's something I'd particularly want to own, but it sure is pretty to look at.

Games of the Week: Hot 'n' Sweaty Edition

If you love the acronyms NCAA, PSP and RPG, this is the week for you! Here's what's new and notable—and Dragon Ball-y!—for the week of July 16.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP)
The original PlayStation RPG gets the PSP port treatment, leading up to the PS2 sequel.

NCAA Football 07 (PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360)
EA has wisely decided to update its college football franchise with a 07!

Miami Vice (PSP)
The game adaptation of the movie of the same name, not a port of the console release from 2004.

Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light (PSP)
NIS America hits us with another RPG, this one with 4-player co-op.

Super Dragonball Z (PS2)
From "the creators of Street Fighter II" comes yet another DBZ fighter. Expect bad hair, awful character design and excessive fanboy devotion!

I might pick up Valkyrie Profile, as I've been looking to snag a solid PSP RPG for some time. Will my import purchases of bit Generations GBA games win the war of the wallet? What are you kids getting this week?
