Final Fantasy XIII

We’re so fucking pumped right now.

Really.

GameStop have listed Final Fantasy XIII on their website, for both PS3 and Xbox 360, down for June 22nd 2010. This come as producer Yoshinori Kitase told our friends at VG247 at GamesCom last week that the game would be released in Spring 2010 in the US and Europe.

Now normally, that wouldn’t mean anything. That is until a piece of info comes into play that has come out tonight. Japanese journalists and select Western journalists have been invited to a Japanese premiere party of the game, which takes place on September 8th.

The Western date? We don’t know. But expect the Japanese date regardless anyways. It’s due in time for Christmas in Japan anyways for PlayStation 3.

Tokyo Game Show, here we fucking come! FULL SPEED!

We’ve all been the to dusty, blood-ridden planes of Helghan. We’ve all enjoyed a frantic bumper fest, checking the rear-view mirror as a loved one ploughs into a wall in a fiery ball of fire.

Hey, we’ve all killed our fair share of people, wrecked our fair share of cars and basically saved/destroyed the Omniverse at one time or another. It’s what games are there for, right?

Yes, undoubtedly. But that doesn’t stop some people making tranquil, relaxing pieces of entertainment, and then being featured in a list, this list, to help you find your spot of peace in the ether.
