It sounds like Hitman 5's finally set to get its long awaited announcement at this year's E3

Members of the franchise's forums are dizzy with speculation after a bunch of ARG clues started appearing around the Internet. Hit the link for all the clues. As with any ARG it all gets a bit confusing after the first couple of announcements, but, from what we can gather, the latest update includes a..

Square Enix has revealed that it will launch the PSone classic, Parasite Eve, on the American PlayStation Store this week

The release comes ahead of the Western launch for PSP Parasite Eve spin-off, The 3rd Birthday. There's still no news of a European release for Parasite Eve nor its sequel.

At some point, Square Enix decided it would be funny to troll games bloggers

As if Dissidia 012 FINAL FANTASY wasn't heinous enough, the publisher's just announced a kind of premium demo for the game entitled Dissidia duodecim prologus FINAL FANTASY. The taster comes with a unique scenario featuring Lightning, as well as the ability to carry any in-game items plundered into the main game. In..

Square Enix has slapped a big juicy August 23rd / August 26th release date on Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the US and UK respectively

The announcement comes days after retailers accidentally broke the news. The game's currently available for pre-order in two different flavours. The standard edition comes with an Explosive Mission Pack, featuring a new mission and some additional gear. The..

Spot of make-up and a touch of botox and look at that, good as new

Crystal Dynamics has released some comparison shots for their upcoming PlayStation 3 Tomb Raider Trilogy. The pack — which includes PS2 titles Tomb Raider Legends & Anniversary, in addition to PS3 game Underworld — has been remastered in HD (well the PS2 games have anyway) and is due out at the end of the month.

Does anybody remember Crystal Dynamics' cult third-person action adventure title, Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver? Some of you

Well as of tomorrow you'll be able to revisit the PSone classic as it launches for £7.99 on the European PlayStation Store. For those unfamiliar with the title, it's pretty moody. If moody is your cup of tea, then step right ahead.

America, Square Enix are really starting to spoil you

You get Xenogears last week, you're getting Vagrant Story next week, and you'll probably get Parasite Eve this month. Good, eh? Vagrant Story will set you back $6 when it becomes available tomorrow.

Looks like Square's readying that digital copy of Parasite Eve just in time for the series' upcoming spiritual successor, The 3rd Birthday

The survival horror classic has been rated by the ESRB for a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable release — presumably via the PlayStation Store. Don't hold your breath over a European re-release — the game never came out over here.

Following yesterday's UK release date, Square Enix has released an English trailer for The 3rd Birthday

It's rich with the kind of disjointed dialogue and silly music you'd expect from a hastily translated Japanese game. But we're still pumped. Pretty girls, big guns and a nonsense plot? What's not to love?

It feels like we've been talking about Square Enix's PSP Parasite Eve spin-off, The 3rd Birthday, for years now

The game's been appearing on "Most Wanted" lists for what seems like an eternity, but the wait's finally coming to an end. Square Enix sent us a press release this afternoon confirming the PSP shooter's UK release date as April 1st. It'll ship with a bunch of goodies to make up..

Someone call Kane & Lynch -- tell them they're fired

Why? Because Danish studio, IO Interactive, is staffing up for what it touts to be "one of the most exciting projects" in the studio's history. We're guessing this has more to do with Hitman than Mini Ninjas. The role — for a "Lead Character Artist" if you're interested — notes: “We are looking for an exceptional..

There'll be no more Final Fantasy spin-off action once the upcoming Duodecim hits store shelves next month

Creator Tetsuya Nomura has said as much in the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation magazine. "There is no next," he revealed, presumably meaning 'no sequel'. "We're thinking about ending this pattern of Dissidia here. There also won't be a UT [Universal Tuning is the name for..

Confession: we don't know a thing about Xenogears

Excuse: it never came out in Europe. We know some PlayStation fans will be going bonkers at the prospect of playing Square Enix's classic role-playing game again on PS3/PSP. Listed in the American PlayStation Blog's weekly run-down, the PSone Classic's due out on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. We'd love to say more about it, but we'll refer you..

Square Enix has just put a date on the most pretentious name in video game history

DISSIDIA 012 FINAL FANTASY will launch in Europe on March 25th, a week before Square Enix's other blockbuster PSP title, The 3rd Birthday. As with the Parasite Eve spin-off, DISSIDIA's retail UMD package will come with a few additional goodies, included downloadable costumes, exclusive art prints, and a 50 percent..

And so it starts

.. With confirmation that original PSP titles purchased through the PlayStation Store will be backwards compatible on the NGP, publishers are beginning to think it might be a good idea to release their backcatalogue on the PSN. First-up are Square Enix's PSP remakes of Final Fantasy 1 & 2. Both will cost €9.99, with the first game launching as soon as February 16th. Final..

Parasite Eve is back

(Sort of.) Square Enix has readily slapped a March 29th release date on Square Enix's PE spin-off, The 3rd Birthday. Bizarrely, the game will only release on UMD, with "no plans" for a digital version. We don't get it. What's the disadvantage of releasing the game on UMD and the PlayStation Store? Weird. In addition to the release date, Square's also confirmed that..

Square Enix has formally revealed the Twisted Edition of upcoming PSP shooter, The 3rd Birthday

The Europe-only (for now) package includes a number of premium items, all of which focusing on the game's, err, lovely protagonist Aya Brea. There's an artbook, lithographs and more. It sounds like all UMD copies of The 3rd Birthday will ship as the Twisted Edition. Which is cool. More freebies for you,..

.. Have a new screenshot. We won't charge, freebie this one. Keep enjoying the long wait until you can play this one.</em>

Got a progress file for Final Fantasy XIII? Square Enix duo Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama recommend you keep hold of it preperation for Final Fantasy XIII-2

The duo didn't release any information about what the file might unlock, but you can expect some additional in-game gizmos as a reward for playing the first game.
