PS3 owners want Final Fantasy XIII more than 360 owners

Gamasutrais reporting thatFinal Fantasy XIIIis the most anticipated PS3 game of all upcoming titles, topping a chart of games that PS3 owners want the most. Despite its multiplatform status, it seems that Sony loyalists aren’t ready to abandon a title that many of them most likely bought the PlayStation 3 for in the first place.

Retailer buys 3DS units from one store to sell preowned

UK retailer GAME has admitted that it got staff members to buy3DSunits from another store in order to re-sell them as pre-owned items at its own outlets.

So far, Bloodstained feels like a slightly janky but very loving homage to Castlevania

‘I’m interested in this’ On the outside, there’s a lot to be concerned about when it comes toBloodstained. It was delayed numerous times, Wii U and Vita ports were canceled, and early review copies weren’t provided. But in not-very-Kickstarter-fashion, all of that has been whipped at launch: it’s actually inline with IGA’s original pitch of a DS-eraCastlevaniafor a modern time. I’m a few hours in, and other than minor complaints with some enemy AI and a few visual flubs (mostly with environment jank), it’s what was promised....
