03.01.2007 BIOSHOCK & FF TACTICS PSP RELEASE DATES

We've had plenty of Final Fantasy games come out on Game Boy Advance and DS Lite, now it's time for PSP to get some Square Enix loving. The PSP game Final Fantasy Tactics "Shishi Sensou" has been translated as "The Lion War" and comes out in Japan on May 10th for 4,800 yen. The PSP port has been enhanced from the original PlayStation game and includes new cinematics and even two new classes. You can see the artsy trailer for the game here, and more pictures of what gameplay is like here. An America release date still hasn't been announced yet though.

Also, 2K Games has confirmed that the Irrational Games first person adventure game BioShock will be released on August 21st in America, and August 24th in Europe. There won't be multiplayer, but the highly anticipated single player will be available on both Xbox 360 and PC when the time comes. Irrational Games has been bragging that their artificial intelligence is pretty advanced, but I'm not the type to buy a game just because the enemies impress me. Even if the story is a let down, the under water facility looks interesting enough to make this one at least worth a rental This August release date is later than they originally promised though, so it better not be glitchy.

12.18.2006 BIOSHOCK WEBSITE NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC

Looking for more BioShock news? Don't know what BioShock is? Recently the game's official website launched and went by unnoticed - you can check out the game's new website here. You'll get to listen to music that reminds you of the opening to the movie Signs, and read about "bathyspheres." I think it's funny they already have an Awards section even though the games isn't out yet, but they definitely deserve the "best of show" awards it has already received from past events. There's a news and screenshots section, and a forum section too, but that's not functional yet.

The game's art style, setting and gameplay looks awesome, but I still have a feeling the 360 game might get repetitive before you reach its end, although each new video I see of the gameplay refreshes me more and more. The creators are really hoping to change up how we look at the FPS genre, so hopefully they deliver.
