There are rumours about a PAL version (!) being in development, due to great criticism but poor sales in Japan.

Halleluya for the poor sales

28th, to be exact. It makes me fuking happi.

I have no clue what to play 'till then though, I had planned to re-play the japanese version soon, but that feels a bit redundant now.

EDIT: Any news on a possible release date for Xenosaga III?

[ps3] [gamecube] [psp]

Remember that rumor yesterday about a possible exclusive Sonic title for Revolution? I checked with my own Sega source and the chances are looking pretty good. That said, it's still a very hush hush title even internally, so it may be some time before we start hearing lots about it.

Something else came up in the discussion that was rather intriguing: a PSP port of United Game Artists' Rez. This too is sounding like a pretty sure thing. If you're unfamiliar with Rez (PS2, DC), it's a 3D floating-through-space shooter that has an incredibly clever synthesis between music and gameplay, with the electronica soundtrack building up in time with the player's actions. The game was designed by Q Entertainment founder Tetsuya Mizuguchi, who recently designed Lumines (PSP) and produced Meteos (DS). Anyway, with this upcoming port as well as the once impossible to find PS2 version of Rez being made available again, you shouldn't have any problems getting your hands on the game if you desire.

Finally, the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly reports that Virtua Fighter 5 will see release on PlayStation 3, "and it might be [home console] exclusive." My source didn't have any information on that particular rumor, other than assuring me that arcade version is "great."

Mothafuckin' Rez for the PSP!

Motherfuckin' Rez available on PS2 again?

You're such a lame hater.

Go play your Electroplankton shit and let us true gamers play Rez.

What the what? I'm just happy I can finally get Rez since I missed is the last time it came out.

I completely misinterpreted your post.

I'll spare you the details on what I thought you meant, but please accept my apologies.

And yes, many rare/semi-rare titles are being re-released on the PS2.

Newslinkon why that's happening.

All I have to say about that is: Fuck the collectors!

They paid hundreds for sealed copies of games to keep around and collect dust and now those prices will take a nosedive.

Fucking sonned.

I agree completely. It is great that people are getting another chance to get these games. Collectors whose sole purpose is to get something because of the potential price can suck my balls.

I'm playing a bit of Star Wars Empire at War.

It's pretty damned pimp, it plays like Rome Total War but with Star Wars. I'm trying my hardest to hold in the fan boy in me.

I'm not very interested in it after seeing the combat system. The story seems pretty good but if I can't have fun then I doubt i pick it up.

The combat system isn't bad. Simplistic, yes, but it's all about picking up objects and beating people over the head with it. It's fun.

I just saw the Potion commercial on gametrailers. All i have to say is, i'm importing some of that shit.

I'm getting 2 bottles, one for me to say I tried it, the other to pour on the grave of the Final Fantasy franchise that Square Enix seems to be breakdancing on.
