Yoichi Wada is president of Square Enix and he may just have spelled 'end of the world' for Final Fantasy fans. They might stop making them.

At least they wouldn't exist as they do now, is what he's going with. Wada-san says the FF team could create something "completely different".

Uncharted developer Naughty Dog won't be combining Nathan Drake and motion control anytime soon, ever, reveals co-boss Evan Wells.

If they were to make a game for the PS3 Wand then they'd start "from the bottom up" to make a great game, and not just tack it on.

Speculation is running rampant again about a Cloud service being started by Sony for PS3, although small print hints it could go beyond that.

'PS Cloud' is already on the Sony patent list. This could have something to do with their plans for some kind of premium PSN service?

Vigil Games' Joe Madureira, creative boss, has said they have an "all-or-nothing mentality" at the studio - multiplayer would have been too much.

Madureira also says "most game stories stink," and we have a long way to go as an industry. There is to be no DLC released either.

If you snap up certain EA content over Xbox Live from now until January 31st, 2010 then you'll be getting 800 MSP back... eventually anyway.

You need to get three pieces of EA stuff to qualify, which you then need to wait "6-8 weeks for delivery" for your MSP rebate. Why so long?

Actor man Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, has never been pitched voice-over work for a Star Wars game - and "that's fine" he admits.

He's "outgrown the role" as the Tatooine farm boy, he couldn't revive it now. Played Eidos' Batman: Arkham Asylum? Hamill was The Joker.

What's a bit of violence and nudity for a 15 year-old's mind? Not much says the BBFC as they give PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain a 15 sticker.

Developer Quantum Theory packed in "strong language, violence and sex," but that's no reason deny to under 18's. What will the OFLC say?

Digital distribution, yeah it's becoming one of those annoying collection of two words now. Everyone keeps saying it but with good reason.

It's happening. Acti's Andrew Brown gossiped with the platform big boys, asking them when is digital going to murder the retail boxed game.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is the latest game to be added to the Xbox 360's Games on Demand service.

It's available to download directly via the Xbox Live Marketplace for £19.99.

Eric Ruth Games has released Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead, a retro de-make of Valve's zombie shooter Left 4 Dead. It looks and plays like a NES game from 1986, but is free and available to download from Strategy Informer.

Go alone, or invite a friend for 2 player co-op against the zombie apocalypse in all 4 of the original game campaigns. 2 difficulties and all 4 of the survivors make a glorious 8-bit appearance, complete with first and second tier weapons scattered along your path to escape.
