Final Fantasy Creator’s Blade Guardian Hits iOS Next Week
Mistwalker’s first mobile game, Party Wave, was certainly not what I expected from the company fronted by the creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit Has Some Really Silly, Sometimes Awkward Killing Moves
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is out today on PSN (tomorrow on XBL and October 3rd for PC).
