If you haven’t been to your local video game retailer, then perhaps you should go take a look at what they have for sale because Square Enix’s Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was released today. Then again, if you can’t make it to the store today you can always check out the game’s launch trailer below. Now if you have already picked up the title you may also have noticed that the game will feature some DLC sometime in the future.

Currently eight songs have been named as DLC for the game, but they have not yet been released and an exact date is currently unknown. Each of these songs will be available for 99 cents a piece and will actually mark the first time that downloadable content for a 3DS game will be available in North America.

Although the PlayStation Vita probably should have been released with actual support for PSOne Classics, it seems that Sony at least knows when they will actually add it into the handheld. While no firm release date has been given, they did state that Firmware Update 1.8 will implement the support.

Andriasang reports that the company has not yet said how much of the library will be supported or if they will all be available right away. All that has currently been said is that Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy VII will be available immediately. So, at least they are adding in something that should have been done a long time ago. Vita ho!

PlayStation 2 games coming to the PlayStation Store

Ever since Sony took out backwards compatibility for PlayStation 2 games out of the original PlayStation 3, those who wanted to play their classic games either had to do so on their pink PS2s or let them collect dust. Well, now it seems Sony is going to begin re-releasing a few titles digitally on the PlayStation 3.

Sony in Japan revealed that on July 25th they will begin adding PlayStation 2 titles starting with the following five games:

  • Resident Evil Code: Veronica
  • Kessen
  • Shin Contra
  • Dragon Force
  • Siren

Now considering the Japanese PlayStation Store is literally overflowing with games that have not been brought out in the North American PlayStation Store, we shouldn’t get our hopes up quite yet, though future titles include classics such as Dark Cloud, Dead or Alive 2 Hard Core and more. Currently these titles are going to cost anywhere from 800 to 1,500 yen, so roughly $10 to $20 a download.

While we already know what will actually be contained in Dead or Alive 5’s Collector’s Edition, we never actually saw what the final product would look like. Well those curious about the Collector’s Edition’s appearance need look no further than just above this sentence.

As previously mentioned, the case itself is embossed and made out of steel and in it there will be a soundtrack CD, the game itself, a hardcover artbook, the swimsuit costume code for every female character as well as a poster. Unfortunately for those of you hoping out there, the poster looks like it will not be of Kasumi in a swimsuit but Kasumi in an action pose. This collector’s edition will run you $80 if you feel like picking it up when the game is released on September 25th.

Resident Evil 6 demo available now for Dragon’s Dogma buyers

Anyone who picked up Dragon’s Dogma over the past few months may have noticed that they also received a code to access the Resident Evil 6 demo. Well, at the time these gamers could do nothing but stare at the code due to the fact that it was un-redeemable until July 3rd. Well guess what today is?

When the player redeems the code you have to access the demo by playing it from the Dragon’s Dogma disc, so if you thought you could pull a fast one on Capcom then you are out of luck. The demo itself features three different missions, each one focusing on one of the three different storylines in the game, Leon and Helena, Chris and Piers and Jake and Sherry. It is worth noting that only 360 owners will be able to access the demo today, while Dogma players on the PlayStation 3 will have to wait a couple more months.

Halo 4 multiplayer to require “8GB flash drive” at the very least

If you are interested in playing Halo 4 then you better make sure you have plenty of hard drive space ready because Xbox.com has just revealed a few notes for future players of Halo 4’s multiplayer mode. These notes “highly recommend” using a hard drive with at least 8GB of space. Whether or not all 8GB will be used is still unknown at this time.

Considering Halo 4 will feature the Spartan Ops online mode as well as a number of new multiplayer options, this large number is a bit understandable, but we have still reached out to Microsoft for a bit of clarification about these notes.

SEGA and The Creative Assembly have made an announcement for the next Total War game to be gracing the PC in 2013 and apparently it’s time to follow any road back to Rome.  Total War: Rome II is set to feature not only a huge turn-based campaign, but the biggest cinematic battles in video game history.

Rome II will pit players not only against armies, but in trying to find the loyal amongst the friends and allies in the Roman senate.  So, what will players choose to do in the best interest of Rome?  Be it repulic or empire, players will face challenges by those that oppose, to find what is best for the people, or themselves.

Along with the announcement came the live-action trailer that can be checked out below, as well as a gallery showing off both urban and naval combat.  We’ll see how the struggle turns out in 2013.

Dungeonbowl Touches Down onto Steam

Dungeonbowl, an extension of Blood Bowl, from Cyanide Studio is finally making its way onto Steam today, so that more players can join in on the bloody sport based on the Warhammer universe.  Unlike Blood Bowl though, Dungeonbowl takes place in a dungeon as opposed to outside and each team is comprised of different races in the same school of magic.

Even more dangerous, the dungeons that are played in contain exploding chests, teleporters, and lava flows to complicate matches, as well as other types of traps to try and hinder both teams, but luckily games last only until the first touchdown.  The basic game package gives players the Bright, Light, and Rainbow wizard teams as well as a starting kit for making their own dungeons.  Players check out some of the newest screenshots from it in the gallery below and can download Dungeonbowl on sale for today’s release for $14.99 on Steam HERE.

The Raid Coming To Blu-Ray And DVD

Thanks to Madman on the 15th of August, 2012. The Raid is this years most talked about action film from Indonesia. The film is set in an apartment complex in the slummy area of Jakarta and is a multi-story complex that is home to all sorts of gangsters and killers.

An elite swat team is sent in to take out a drug-lord locked in a safe house but the residents of the building are alerted to the teams attack in advance and is locked down from the bottom up. The swat team has to then fight their way to the top of the building to achieve their goals.

Proudly showcasing an unadulterated mix of impossible gunplay, frantic knife fighting and a masterful display of Silat – the indigenous Indonesian martial art – courtesy of up and coming action star, Iko Uwais, The Raid marks a triumphant return to the glorious, over the top action unleashed in the works of seminal Asian cinema filmmakers such as John Woo (The Killer, Hard Boiled) and Tsui Hark (Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time in China).

The raid is releasing at $34.95 for the DvD and $39.95 for the Blu-Ray Disc.
