Lavos will strike again this Holiday Season with Chrono Trigger DS!

Shortly after launching its “Countdown Site,” Square-Enix has officially announced that one of the greatest games of all time, Chrono Trigger, will be making its return to the hands of gamers everywhere, in Chrono Trigger DS. Unlike the Final Fantasy and Dragonquest remakes, Chrono Trigger’s graphics will not be getting a graphical overhaul, however will be reformatted to fit the DS’ dual-screen set-up, and add touch-screen functionality. They also plan to add in a new dungeon as well as some sort of “Wireless play” mode, so keeping all of this in mind we can assume it will be just as awesome as the original with some added goodies.

Square-Enix plans to have Chrono Trigger DS out by the upcoming holdiay season.

Diablo III has been Confirmed!

…Yesterday! That is. Rumors and pleas for a third installment in the Diablo series have been in circulation for years now, and Blizzard looks not to let their fans down, by finally developing Diablo III!

I’m sure that I don’t speak for myself when I say that I’m extremely happy and excited, being Diablo is the only online RPG that I actually like and don’t get bored with in three seconds. Gamespot has a twenty-minute narrated demonstration of the game up which is filled with pure awesomeness. The modern graphics, as well as the new environmental effects look absolutely stunning.

Blizzard’s not quite set on an actual release date at this time, but they’ll hopefully be giving plenty of information on classes and the story to keep us all sane as we finally come to the end of this long wait.

Halo 3 to support 4-Way Online Co-op (Updated)

This is freaking awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I’ve made a new category called ‘Freaking Awesome.’ Halo 3 will support online co-op with up to 4 players. This means that you and 3 friends can run through the single player mode blowing up shit together, over the interweb!

So yeah, I think I’m going to go out and buy that 360 now…

(Update) — Bungie has put up a page to describe the new Co-op setup. Check it out

Metal Gear Solid 4 Gameplay Footage

Just another one of those videos that have stormed the net. New gameplay footage has been released for Metal Gear Solid 4, and I have to say, that was probably the best 15 minutes and 18 seconds ever used in my life. The scenery, though desolate, looks gorgeous. I think it was hilarious when he pulled out the ‘adult’ magazine in the middle of the game too. Anyway, follow the link and observe the awesome for yourself.
