At a special event in Tokyo, Square Enix announced today that Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan as a PlayStation 3-exclusive on December 17. This date is confirmed on the game’s official website. It will sell for 8,800 yen, $95(USD)
The game’s western release remains unknown, but Square Enix is hoping to reduce the usual localization period of about six to twelve months.
“We can’t announce any specific dates yet,” said series executive producer Yoshinori Kitase at the event. “But in the past, it took about a half a year to a year. We’re hoping that this time, we can release it with only about one season’s worth of a delay.” Provided such a schedule were indeed met, western gamers might be seeing Final Fantasy XIII (on both their PlayStation 3s and Xbox 360s) as early as March or April of 2010.
Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that Square Enix can complete the localization as quickly as possible. I have already pre-ordered my copy of FFXIII.
News that Ro cksteady is going to release downloadable content for its Batman: Arkham Asylum for free.
Within the game, an in-game scrolling news ticker says that free DLC is headed to the game in nine days, or on September 17. No other details on the content are available yet, outside of Eidos’ confirmation that it will hit all platforms (PC, 360, PS3) simultaneously.
Keep an eye out Capsule Computers will keep you posted.

Com2us recently announced at PAX-09 (Penny Arcade Expo 2009) the long awaited sequel to its highly successful RPG game on the iPhone : Chronicles Of Inotia 2.
Chronicles of Inotia two will feature and provide players with both a party style and network style gameplay. Making it very similar to a MMORPG. Players will be able to go join guilds and battle against other guilds, go on raids and seiges on castles to gain notoriety.
The main story you will be able to control three characters and hire mercenaries to aid you in your quest (you can switch between characters and build each one the way you like with their own specific skills and abilities) or ask a friend that you have met online to assist you, making the adventure even more fun and entertaining.
The online features discussed so far seem to be very interesting. Items earnred during battles, raids and sieges can be shared amongst your guild members or stored online via a network storage box. This will come in handy in assisting some of the newer weaker memebers of the guild that might need a new shiny suit of plate mail armour +2. Its a great idea and will encourage a lot of online play, and the online community for Chronicles of Inotia 2 will surely flourish.
I for one cant wait to get my hands on Chronicles of Inotia 2. The possibilities of being able to play the story mode campaigne with a friend online will be totally amazing.
With a release date of roughly late 2009, Chronicles Of Inotia 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated titles on the Apple Iphone / iTouch.
