What do you mean 1000kmph? Exactly? Or is that just another way of saying "really really fast"?

SRW ownz.

There's probably a speed meter in the game, and yes it's just really, really fast. :)

Final Fantasy III review:

Refia is cute! The game has interesting menu screen color. It's difficult. I didn't get very far. Wouldn't it be great if this game came with a bag of ruffles?

9/10

From Software has announced that they're stopping development of Dark RPG and Black Blade for the PS3. Boo!


Edit: Calidor please stop posting non-news. If you want to update this thread with information, you can do so. Posting incomplete information or just the game's name does nothing to help the ACCURACY of this thread!

Riviera's being ported to the PSP? But, um... why? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved it (best RPG on the GBA, by far). But I can't quite understand why they'd port a GBA game (which was, as mentioned, a port of a WSC game) to the PSP.

What a ****ing weird piece of news.
