At the Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy concert in Pittsburgh, PA, conductor Arnie Roth revealed to the crowd that a "Final Fantasy XII remake" is coming. According to attendees, FFXII lead composer Hitoshi Sakimoto confirmed.
There are currently no details about the system(s), specific changes to the game, or release date.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is a bizarre game. On the one hand, it's a big budget action-packed sequel to Metal Gear Solid, with fantastic gameplay and set-pieces. On the other hand, it's a dizzying story that begins to deconstruct itself while building a complex metafiction halfway through. Yeah, it's an oddball, but one that we love.

International releases aren't usually revealed so quickly after a game is first unveiled, but Atlus makes a living going against the grain, doesn't it? Shown to the world just recently, the Odin Sphere HD Remake already has a North American confirmation.
Batman has a wide range of foes in the DC Universe but the Al Ghul's are defiantly the most classic frenemies of the big bat. Talia may have a romantic relationship with Bruce Wayne but she does not let that deter her from doing what's best for the League of Assassins.
Many close battles have raged and continue to rage in the gaming world. Dota 2 or League of Legends? Call of Duty or Battlefield? These races are tight and intriguing, with articles, forum threads and Reddit posts fervently arguing for one side or the other, and, while everyone thinks they have the market cornered on the correct opinion on one over the other, the jury is still out.

Rare Replay is a few days from launch. While you might know that it includes 30 of Rare's best titles at only $30, there's a lot more to this package that makes it attractive.
While playing Rare Replay for the past few days I've learned a few details that have made me appreciate it more than I anticipated. Below I will share with you 10 things about the game that you might not know about.
Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) is in full swing, which means a ton of speedrunners are racing through a wide variety of games to raise money for charity. It's one of my summer highlights every year, but as much as I enjoy watching speedruns, I always wonder if I'd have what it takes to speedrun a game. If I were to do so, the game would probably be Volgarr the Viking.
