Looks like Square Enix and Hideo Kojima are set to colloborate once again, with the details still under-wraps for now

The tease comes from Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto, who Tweeted: "A new promotion with Hideo Kojima is set. Details will be shared at a later date." He also attached the above photo of himself, Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear's art director Yoji Shinkawa. <span>No idea..

Megaton? For some we assume

Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura has just announced that there's a new Kingdom Hearts on the cards... And it will be announced as soon as next week, during E3. No word on platforms (please be Playstation) or anything else at this point. Last week it was revealed that Nomura would be making the trip to the big gaming show in the US, now we know why. So if Kingdom Hearts is..

You can have no affinity with the Deus Ex franchise

No excitement for the upcoming title. Even no love for video games at all. But it's impossible to not be excited by this trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which screams high-budget from every inch of its production. The sweeping synth-lines, the wonderful opening, the big spider robot things. Oh goodness. It's coming in 2011. We're going for..

A Tweet from the official Playstation Twitter account has all but confirmed that Thief 4 is coming to the Playstation 3

The Tweet, which simply states "Oh Man" before directing to a Thief 4 placeholder page, was posted last night. The placeholder page has been around for a while, and it certainly has been updated. But the Playstation Tweet was certainly meant to have people guessing, and..

Siliconera's reporting, via Shinji Hashimoto, that Tetsuya Nomura - of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy Versus XIII fame - is set to make an appearance at E3

Of course, that's set message boards alight as to what he'll be doing there. Could it be Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Will he be at Sony or Microsoft's show? We're guessing it won't be the latter as Nomura's already stated he'd cut off his arm if..

We know - you had a horrible night's sleep

You just couldn't stop thinking about what Square Enix gaffer Yoichi Wada said yesterday. Your eyes are bleary but still the quote replays in your mind, “We’ll be looking into [bringing Final Fantasy Versus XIII to the XBOX 360] internally until right before the formal announcement.” You're scared, tired and lonely. Good job we've got the equivalent of..

Many Playstation faithfuls believe that the XBOX 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII made that game what it was: very linear and very stream-lined

We don't believe that was the case. However, we were averse to the XBOX 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII purely because of the way Microsoft handled it. Apparently, such is their insecurity, whatever they can share with Sony is massive win on their part..

Crystal Dynamics' global brand manager Karl Stewart has told Eurogamer that Lara Croft and the Guardian Of Light will cost roughly £10 when it hits the Playstation Network

“We believe that, in terms of the arcade space, we’re trying to raise the bar of what it means to spend 10 pounds on nowadays,” Stewart said. “Obviously we’re dictated to somewhat by the first-parties and their pricing..

Square Enix has just announced that PSP title Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep will launch in Europe on September 10th, which is the same week as the game's US release on September 7th

The Playstation Blog notes: "The new game narrates the origins of the saga, focusing on the story of heroes Terra, Ventus and Aqua, and will feature new maps, environments as well as four multiplayer..

We've obviously known about Crystal Dynamics' downloadable Lara Croft adventure for a while; but no amount of preparation had us readied for this trailer

It's just weird. A Lara Croft game that's: a) downloadable; b) isometric; c) co-operative... What's going on? It does look rather pretty mind. They've still got to sell us though. It's just — weird. We'll maintain an open-mind.

Sony's just dropped word in the Playstation Blog that the third "proper" Final Fantasy game released on the original Playstation is coming to the PSN "soon"

That's right folks, Final Fantasy IX will be hitting the Playstation Store and presumably topping PSN sales charts for some time, as Square Enix rake in the cash from a retro re-release once more. Expect a date pretty soon. Until then, you can..

Rumours emerging out of GoFanboy, via PSM3 magazine, suggest that Sony's secured exclusivity of Square Enix's RPG Valkyrie Profile 3

More details are expected to be given during Sony's E3 conference early next month. The game was originally intended for release on multiple platforms. This is still in big rumour territory for now so don't hold too much stock into it. Well, until the fat lady sings..

A brief chat with Square Enix's gaffer Yoichi Wada - published by Nikkei's trending website - has revealed some of the company's big scheduled games in 2010

The exec name drops the likes of Kane & Lynch 2, Nier, Deus-Ex: Human Revolution and Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday - which is presumably confirmed for Japanese launch this year. Details of the PSP shooter and spiritual successor to the..

Do you have any expectations for the upcoming Playstation Portable shooter The 3rd Birthday from Square Enix? Nope, probably not

It's been in development for a hell of a long time and we've barely seen anything of the game yet. Having said that, what we have seen looks extremely cool. So, Square Enix man Hajime Tabata reckons the game will "exceed expectations" when it finally drops. It..

Square Enix has just dropped an extended trailer for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days - their upcoming co-operative shooter with a twist

Much of the trailer includes footage we've covered before, but there is a good chunk of new stuff too so it's worth a look. Besides, the game's actually looking like it might be a lot of fun, particularly with its Cloverfield presentation.

It's happening folks

We hinted at it a few days ago, but Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy IX will be making the short journey over to the PSN. It was confirmed by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada via the firm's Japanese Twitter page. It wouldn't make sense not to put it on there, given how well both Final Fantasy VII and VIII have sold on Sony's digital service. We imagine the game..

Thought you'd found all of Just Cause 2's easter eggs? Nope, we're pretty certain people will still be finding them later in the year

</em>

When Just Cause 2 shot straight to number one in the British sales charts this week, we bet you didn't expect there to be a Just Cause 3, did you? You did? Oh

Well, that's good then, because Avalanche has claimed that people “shouldn’t be surprised” to see a Just Cause 3. “I think there are a lot of connections with [Avalanche and] the IP,” Avalanche's boss Christofer Sundberg said, “and so..

Given the levels of success both Final Fantasy VII and VIII have found on the Playstation Store, Square Enix would need to be muppets not to release Final Fantasy IX on Sony's digital service

Well, if Square producer Shinji Hashimoto comments are anything to go by — there's a strong chance it could happen. The dude's been judging opinion as to whether fans would like to see a re-release of the..
