Happy 4th of Joo-ly. In the interest of slacking off, I present this side-by-side comparison of Final Fantasy IV for the SNES and the upcoming remake for the Nintendo DS.
The release date for Final Fantasy IV DS is set for July 22. What’s that? Treat myself to a birthday present? Don’t mind if I do!

According to PSPFanboy.com, Suikoden VI for the PSP existed for a short, brilliant time…then vanished just as quickly.
This is probably the cruelest thing to happen since Lucca Blight made one of his subjects crawl through the dirt before slaughtering him.

Dear Square-Enix:
I was wrong. I beg your forgiveness and grovel at your feet in thanks for correcting me with the very sound that’s more comforting than my own mother’s heartbeat.
I await your punishment, but I know you are a merciful God and will thus spare the metal-studded cat-o’-nine-tails.
Right?

It’s probably not as likely as you think.
But we can dream.
In the interest of fostering false hopes, the Internets has been passing around this “photo” of a press release announcing Chrono Trigger DS. Fans with the ability to stumble over moon language have unraveled vague, spidery hints for a Fall 2008 release date.
I feel like a defeated mother. Go on. Go spread your little lies about a Chrono Trigger re-release. I’ll just sit here and weave my own noose while crying bitterly. Don’t worry about me.
More on this later if it’s not just a rumour or a code name for a killer virus (Coming Fall 2008!).

The WTF World of Wikipedia on GamesRadar is simultaneously the most hilarious and depressing feature I’ve ever read.
The sheer amount of dedication and detail that a nerd funnels into an entry about the Enterprise is larger by several mouthfuls than an entry about the Founding Fathers. On a sad note, geeks rule the Internet. On a cheerful note…geeks rule the Internet.

I realised with some surprise that he was right: I’ve barely raised a “Hooray” for Squeenix’s Final Fantasy-themed fighting game.
Pardon me. Squeenix’s Final Fantasy-themed dramatic progressive action game.

No, really. Please do it. It’s a shame that you all feel the need to fly into Puritan rages over an RPG series known for its off-the-wall humour.

If you have qualms about falling to your knees, don’t think of it as an act of submission and reverence. Think of it as the only way you’re going to be able look the little Prince in the eyes.

Gamepro published my review of LOL for the DS. The game is definitely passable as a quick party diversion. It’s available for twenty bucks on Agetec’s website. If you’re lame at hosting parties, you can’t go wrong.

It’s a bite-sized version of what we’ve come to expect from Ratchet and Clank. There’s cool vehicles, neat gadgets and lots of charm and personality.
IGN doth beg to differ, however.
