"With the 3DS inbound stateside in the next few weeks and the NGP looking to dazzle us with its unbeatable shinyness, it’s fairly safe to say the PSP is coming to its end. We’ve decided to celebrate its checkered life by recounting a few of the best PSP games."

Here's a cute little idea ...

Have you ever wondered what the Final Fantasy VII characters might sound like if they could sing? No? Well luckily, almost any Japanese person who is remotely famous will have sung a song sometime during their life. So, here are a few songs sung by the Japanese voice-actors of the FFVII Compilation ...

Still not convinced that Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core will be good? (Despite the massive amount of praise it's been recieving).

Well, Gametrailers have created a short montage, showing what they consider the "best of Crisis Core", including the impressive graphics (though it's a little worrying just HOW detailed Sephiroth's eyelashes are), summon sequences, different music, gameplay and battle system.

Gametrailers has got their hands on more English Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core videos to keep fans sated until the release next week. This time we hear all our old favorites with their English voices - Cloud, Aerith, Zack, the Turks, and we see Tifa in her infamous "cowgirl" outfit.


Heaven, or a church in the slums?


Tifa is not impressed.

A bunch of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core videos have been released at the Game Developers Conference 2008, showing various battles in familiar FFVII locations.
We also get a good look at the English voice-acting of protagonist Zack Fair and his mentor, Angeal Hewley.

Crisis Core is being released in the US in one month.
PAL gamers can expect to see it in Spring 2008.

With the updated Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core website came a truck-load of new English videos. So if anyone has been a bit behind in the Crisis Core news, then these videos will get you up to speed with the Battle System and the familiar (and not-so-familiar) characters: Sephiroth and Genesis.

The good ol' Materia System is back, and the new "DMW" (Digital Mind Wave) System is also shown.
And keep an ear out for the songs in the videos. Sound familiar? The "Sephiroth and Genesis" video...

Final Fantasy fans are finally getting some news on the English version of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. This time a new trailer has been released and (ignoring the out-of-place rock music) it's looking pretty impressive. But it'll take a lot more than fast-paced FMV sequences to win over the people who are still skeptical about any title in the (faily average) FFVII Compilation.

What we need are some videos similar to the Japanese trailers that show gameplay, cutscenes, FMVs and detail ...

GameTrailers have recently uploaded a run-through preview for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. The video explains the Mission system, Materia, Gameplay, and how the DMW Battle System works.
We also get glimpses of the soundtrack (including music very similar to the original Final Fantasy VII), as well as a sneak-peak at the game's stoaryline and characters (who, as we all know, also appear in the original FFVII).

Yet another Final Fanatsy VII: Crisis Core video has surfaced. This time it's the opening FMV to the game, featuring a very similar scene to the original FFVII opening.

And judging from the quality of the graphics, it's easy to see why IGN thinks that "Crisis Core looks better than most PS2 games out there".
