Once the laughing stock of the football world, it’s now the biggest-selling and in many’s opinion the best sports game on the market. Here’s why. Speaking with Edge, the two men most responsible for the series’…
The PSPgo had a lot of things going for it at E3. Bold digital download plan, smaller size. But then Sony announced the price. $249. Nothankyou.

Think last week’s PAL update was bad? It was! This week, though, is just as bad. Maybe even worse. On the bright side, there’s TMNT. On the not-so-bright side, there’s…not much else. Some add-ons, some wallpapers, and that’s about it. What, not even a crummy PS1 game, Sony? Week like this, we’d have taken a…
…and, yeah, it’s counting down to something. There’s a large “4” on the page, below a countdown clock that will end on July 6. Maybe this has something to do with that “Four Warriors of Light” trademark the company filed… NEW GAME [Square Enix via One Last Continue]

As far as we’re concerned, the PSPgo is a slick piece of hardware, but as far as two British game retailers are concerned, it may as well be a poison pie with boogers sprinkled on top. “From my point of view I’ve got to think, ‘Do I want to stock this?’ Right now I can’t…
Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver have a street date for Japan: September 12. Priced at the equivalent of US$50, these are tenth anniversary remakes of Pokémon Gold/Silver.

Probably. I’ll have to revisit Quest for Glory II, and check the Dervish’s to make sure. Regardless, the LittleBigPlanet Druid’s beard is long. Longer than Tim Schafer’s. Longer, even, than Gandalf’s. And that’s official.
What if, instead of looking a lot like the DS version of Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii looked more like the NES versions of Mario? Or the SNES version? Well, then it’d look like this. Gotta say, that Super Mario World one looks pretty damn hot. [Mama Robotnik @ NeoGAF]

The days of Sega manufacturing hardware are over. But in these days of licensed technology and retro appreciation, Sega hardware still lives on, in this case with the return of the Nomad, Sega’s handheld Genesis. Now called the Retro Gen, and being released by hardware company Innex (who you’ve heard of before), it’s a handheld…
We’ve seen two Final Fantasy XIII summons: the Odin summons from heroine Lighting (pictured) and Shiva from bandana dude Snow. The lady motorcycle summons, aka Shiva, is all kinds of unique. It goes so far over the cliff that it bounces right back into awesometown. Lighting’s Odin summons? Less so. The Japanese internet has been…
This video is, well, amazing. It’s producer Nobuyoshi Sano doing his best Steve Jobs impersonation as he presents to the world a new, improved version of the Korg DS-10 synthesiser for the Nintendo DS. Built to take advantage of the DSi, DS-10 Plus multiplies the output of the original synthesiser title, giving you four analogue…
