On 18th December 1987, a fledgling company made a last ditch attempt at success, and released the aptly named Final Fantasy on the Nintendo Entertainment System, to an unsuspecting public.



To say that Final Fantasy fans are anticipating Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core would be something of an understatement. The game is already out in Japan and has done very well in sales, but Square Enix have finally relieved fan's anticipations by announcing the title's official release in the US, along with the rest of their release schedule for 2008.



For a long time, many an Australian gamer could tell you how long it would take to get many games on the store shelves and at times how impossible it was to find something aside from Final Fantasy. Now that may change as Ubisoft, the creators behind the Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell series have entered a deal with Square Enix to help with the distributions for both Australia and New Zealand.



It's a series that has been with the gaming community since the earliest days, and has grown up alongside many of us.

We chart the upcoming releases in the US for next week, dating October 7th - 12th.

Although it should come as no surprise that the recent slim-line redesign of Sony's handheld saw sales of the machine increase, the changes were cleared loved by gamers the world over, and it's the reason why that are worth looking at in more detail.



Being one of Japan's biggest names, it's no surprise that Square Enix would be out in style at the Tokyo Game Show, and the company didn't disappoint, with Final Fantasy titles galore, the announcement of three new installments of the Kingdom Hearts series, and even plans for a new Parasite Eve game.



The Tokyo Game Show, Japan's seminal anual gaming event, is fast approaching, and Japan's largest game developer is set to mark its usual mark at the event; the company has released a full list of titles set to appear at the event, but the company's flagship title, Final Fantasy XIII, has simple been listed as "undecided."



In the eyes of Square Enix fans, the last year has definately been a generous one for them, but the company isn't quite as happy.

According to Square Enix, the company has so much faith in the upcoming 13th installment of the numerical series of Final Fantasy titles that they strongly expect us to still be playing it ten years down the line.
