Chrono Trigger Mixtape, Vol. 1

This is a huge late pass, but I just stumbled upon the Chrono Trigger Mixtape, Vol. 1 that was produced in 2005. It’s set to some random hip-hop songs, but the beats are pretty seamless and most people unfamiliar with the Chrono Trigger OST probably wouldn’t have guessed that the samples in this mixtape were sourced from a video game made in 1995.

Final Fantasy XIII english extended trailer

I’m always excited for a new Final Fantasy game that’s debuting on a next-gen system but, to be quite honest, I haven’t finished a game in the series since X-2 (and that hardly counts since the difficulty was practically nonexistent).

Scribblenauts

Scribblenauts is an emergent puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. It’s slated to be released tomorrow, September 15th, 2009, in North America and has garnered attention for it’s attention to detail and (seemingly) infinite array of plausible solutions. One reader claimed to have summoned a time machine to bring back dinosaurs to stomp an army of robot zombies that were, up until that moment, impossible to defeat.

I can’t wait to play this game tomorrow.
