Goddamit. This screen alone scarred me for a good portion of my childhood and into adulthood.
EB: It may not be the most exciting week for new video games, but it sure is a notable one. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age brings a remastered iteration of the original to the PlayStation 4 with updates and features previously unavailable to North America.
Amazon has opened preorders for the physical version of Rogue Stormers on the PlayStation 4.
This game looks surprisingly fun despite the less-than-stellar reviews it's received since launch. I love the implementation of rogue-like elements here and it looks like the action can heat up rather quickly in areas with many of those enemy portals. It's too bad the framerate isn't smoother on consoles; I'm curious to see if the PC version performs much better.
