For Japanese Final Fantasy fans, the long wait is nearly over. And what better way to build hype and ease that pain of waiting with a trailer? A long content packed trailer filled with jaw dropping CG, action packed battle sequences and J-Pop drama scenes that will test your patience.
Normally, I’d post said trailer here for your your viewing pleasure, but I think you should head over to the source. The official Japanese Final Fantasy XIII website is something to behold in itself. It’s by far the slickest Flash based “official” websites I’ve seen to date. Most official game and movie websites are bloated and take ages to load for nothing more than gimmicks. But this! This is both functional and pretty.
So the Japanese folks will get the game this December 17th while the rest of the world will have to wait until Spring 2010. I’m really looking forward to this. It just may be one of those games which I would pre-order the Limited Edition for. I’m that psyched for it.
I would have loved to download and write up some impressions on the newly released Red Faction: Guerilla demo, however I’m currently breaching 90% of the bandwidth limit. So instead, I’ll be talking about my Mini 9 and my impressions of it after five months of use.

Not many flash games games out there like this Auditorium game. It puzzle game. It has music. It has pretty colors and it is free. Well, the demo is at least. The developers are seeking donations for a higher quality version — perhaps even on a console.
It’s simplicity is its greatest strength. I’m fond of its presentation and the instant feedback given for even the tiniest of attempts. It’s well worth a peek at least.
That 2.5 firmware I spoke of is now live. You can check out some of the features included in this update in that post. So after that 7 hour maintenance today, we get to see the fruits of Sony’s labor.
Oh, and SCEA forgot to mention that firmware 2.5 also updated the Flash player to version 9 and thus enables the web browser to display the latest Flash content with less fuss! Hurrah!
It’s not perfect, but I’m sure it’ll entertain you during those slow times at work.
Enjoy

Quake Live promises to deliver Quake 3 level visuals through a web browser. Is it flash based? No idea, but Adobe Flash based engines are something to behold. There are two demos you can try out from the Alternativa Platform blog. They’re simple, but they’re very impressive.
