Kingdom Hearts fans can mark a day on their calendar for the revamped PS3 collection of the popular RPG series.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix will be on store shelves beginning September 10, 2013, on the PS3 for a retail price of $39.99. The game includes three entries from the series:
- Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
- Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories
- The cinematics of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
Fans that pre-order the game can also get a free limited edition art book — which is apparently available in very small quantities — that includes sketches and unused art from the franchise.

See How Crazy Combat Can Be In “Final Fantasy All The Bravest”
The launch trailer for Square Enix’s iOS game, Final Fantasy All The Bravest, was released today. It shows just how frenetic things can get during battle, which allows you to play up to 40 party members at once.
All The Bravest, which is primarily combat-heavy, will be available on iTunes on Jan. 17 (tomorrow), for $3.99. It sounds fairly cheap, but there is a catch.
There are 35 Premium characters you can purchase for $0.99 each, such as Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. But you don’t get to choose who to buy because characters are given randomly — like the prizes in a cereal box or the toys in a Happy Meal, except you don’t get the same character twice. You can also purchase additional stages from past Final Fantasy games for $3.99.

Official Trailer For “Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII”
While it was leaked earlier this week, Square Enix has officially released the debut trailer of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
The trailer features Lightning — who states cryptically that the world is going to end in 13 days — walking through the city of Luxurion and kicking some butt.
Set 100 years in the future, players will get to experience the third and final journey of Lightning sometime in 2013.

If killing is an art, then Agent 47 probably has an exhibit’s worth of body counts by now. And after six years, it appears that the serious assassin is ready to get back to business.
Former International Contract Agency Handler Diana Burnwood went rogue and publicly exposed her former employee in Hitman: Blood Money. In the aftermath, the agency reformed under Benjamin Travis, who assigns Agent 47 to kill Diana and retrieve Victoria, a teen girl under her care. Of course, things spiral beyond that for the bald antihero in Hitman: Absolution, a title that strives to be just as brutal as it is beautiful.
Has the time off resulted in an absolute killer of a title? Or is his return just an absolute travesty?
Find out after the break.
