In a cloying sort of way Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omniawas delayed into 2017, but according to a recent interview from Famitsu, it’s “99.9%” done. So just in case you wanted to jump into yet another Square Enix mobileFinal Fantasygame, it looks like you won’t have to wait that much longer. But even though it’s that close, they’re still targeting an “early 2017” release, with a date to be announced soon....
Don’t miss the kacho! But the thing that really prompted me to ask you if you watch video game content was my discovery ofGame Center CX. There’s something so pure and innocent about a man in his 40s, playing video games badly, but still enjoying the classics with all the joy and despair in the world. Compared to so much typical YouTube content which pulls out a dick joke as casually as a glass of water, I just became so enamored byGame Center CX‘s simplicity in retro game challenges set against Japanese broadcast standards....

It’s been awhile since we saw thisgameplay footage, and lately we’ve been craving a bit more – or at least I have....
I won’t talk your ear off about a golf game, but just know that I’m excited. I’m a huge fan of the franchise and I definitely let Sony know that tonight as I saw a demo of the upcoming Vita version ofHot Shots Golf. The short story is that it’s still Hot Shots Golf. But know that it’s so high-res that it’s almost unbelievable. I asked why it looks so good....
When you open your inbox to an e-mail from some guy namedRobert Summaand the text includes the words ‘Playboy Mansion’, you can pretty safely assume you’re gonna see some beautiful naked women, and maybe Fred Durst. Sadly, Rob totally let me down earlier when just such an email appeared and happened to be aboutPro-Gaming’s first ever draft, which just so happened to take place in Hugh Hefner’s backyard. The entire event, which has been framed as one gigantic leap for mankind toward the acceptance of gaming as a professional sport, was covered by those spritely ragamuffins over atEpileptic Gaming....

Still no release date Nightdive Studios’System Shockremake was showntoday at the PC Gaming Show, with a surprise appearance from classic game designer Warren Spector. He mused on how primitive the old UI was for the original, and the “unfortunate” nature of the modern era not really seeing the influence ofSystem Shock.

New cars, events, Achievements, and co-driver calls are all that’s been teased so far....
Note: Our own Jim Sterling confirms that he is not the kid in question. In that strange world where they use odd measurements like stone lives a gamer named Marc Rodwell. Marc’s overeating of curry, pizza and soda had him literally breaking scales at 36-stone, or over 500 pounds. He was told that he would not live to see his 24th birthday. But then he foundRock Band. Harmonix’s rhythm game literally saved his life....
Gameboi:As you might have guessed, I’ve been having a blast with the not so pretty, but oh so fun game ofNo More Heroes. It satisfied my need to relive Kill Bill scenarios on a 19″ screen via the Wiii. I can now mark that off my things to do before I die. I still haven’t found a midget that spouts Chewbaccas’s lines from Star Wars yet — while dressed like Elvira — but I’m working on that one....
