Triple-A games are inbound this week and, most likely, the next few weeks up until Christmas time. Since the now-infamous “Kezins crash of 2008″ happened last week, we weren’t able to bring you our weekly comprehensive guide.
Not to worry! We piled it onto this week’s set of releases. Some good stuff awaits gamers’ 60+ dollars — Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet, and World Tour are some of the big hitters. Have fun (and good luck!) picking out your must-haves from all the must-haves.
Kezins.com wasn’t able to trek out to the smog-filled vistas that the Los Angeles’ downtown sprawl has to offer this year for E3, but we will be filling you in on some of the more exciting things coming out of the week-long “festivities.”
The biggest show stopper was the reveal that Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a Sony exclusive and the PS3 version will be releasing alongside an Xbox 360 version day and date in the U.S. and Europe, as Perez just reported.
Hit the link for a quick rundown of everything else that was revealed, shown, and affirmed (as the pre-E3 leaks can attest to)…
The Xbox brand has never been one to host the best RPGs, but it hasn’t been from Microsoft’s lack of trying. We got a taste of traditional RPG goodness with Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, and Blue Dragon and Square Enix has just announced the next wave of RPGs for the system.
The biggest surprise is probably that Star Ocean: The Last Hope, once believed to be PS3-exclusive, is headed to the Xbox 360 in 2009. It’s likely that it wont be completely exclusive to the Xbox 360, but it should still come as a bit of shock to fans of the series as it had never left Sony’s camp before.
Other games previewed at the Microsoft RPG Press Event in Japan, by way of Famitsu.com, were Infinite Undiscovery (due Sept. 2 in North America), Tales of Vesperia (dropping August 7 in Japan), and The Last Remnant which will simultaneously release in all regions this winter on the Xbox 360 — the PS3 version following some time after.
