The shortest distance between two points may be a line, but the longest is a gilded arrow fletched with platinum-inlaid peacock feathers and fired by Square Enix like a vector-locked cruise missile. Time in flight: 25 hours.

However, the tour bus will not remain stationary, so you'll have to check the promotion's Twitter account for updates on locations an hour beforehand. Read More »
We stumbled across an awesome selection of 13 new screenshots from Final Fantasy XIII just in time for the weekend. The best shot is easily the one featuring the still-creepy but very cool Cactuar characters (known as Sabontender in Japan). For all those of you die-hard Final Fantasy fans, these shots should provide a decent amount of drool-time. A couple of the staffers here are considering importing the Japanese PS3 version of the game. Are you? Read More »
