Have you ever stop to ask yourself what it is that you like about Role Playing Games? Is it the epic battles? The story? Exploring another world? The ability to play around with your party’s stats? The sense of leveling and getting stronger? Put it this way, if you don’t know what it is that you like about RPGs, you will after playing Final Fantasy 13.
Aksys Games will be releasing a sequel to its hardcore 2D fighter, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. BlazBlue is best described as a deep, highly technical fighter with an involved, character-driven story. Wait, a fighting game where you actually pay attention to each fighter’s story? No way! And to anyone who’s into quirky, surreal anime this series is for you.
The Times Online reports (via web analytics firm Hitwise) that for the first time Facebook has surpassed Google for a whole week in the U.S. The social networking site has over 400 million regular users throughout the world.

If a streamlined PS3 is nice, how about a slimmed down 360? Kotaku reports that the images and info it retrieved from a Chinese website could be the workings of an Xbox 360 “slim”.
Something tells me this is a bad guy.
Yes, I am aware that Karli has already talked about Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, the expansion pack to Dragon Age: Origins, in his always reliable and entertaining Coming Soon! article.

But as the rest of the RRB staff knows by now I’m a Dragon Age super-nerd and I just had to post these screenshots.
Publishers may have stayed clear of last week, but this week seems to be fair game. It’s kind of an odd move considering that another Triple-A title is coming out this week. Do they just not know how many bloodthirsty gamers out there have been waiting for this game? It could just be that they were holding out for so long that they just don’t have a choice anymore. So here we are. One week with a fairly hefty number of releases surrounding one big release. I wish them the best of luck.
It’s ironic that a series with so many sequels, spinoffs, and fan obsession is called “Final” Fantasy. But here we are at lucky number 13, and it shows no signs of reaching an actual finality. Final Fantasy has become synonymous with the big budget, blockbuster Japanese RPG.
Yeah, that’s the best title that I could come up with. But on March 11 Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Square Enix will be releasing special Final Fantasy XIII items for PlayStation Home.
Edge reports that Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman confirmed Harmonix is currently working on Rock Band 3. It is set for worldwide release this “holiday season”. He announced it during the Credit Suisse Group Global Media and Communications Conference or as we like to call it “Party Central.”
Now here’s a karaoke game taken straight from my iPod (along with Guitar Hero: Metallica). Judging by track list, Microsoft’s Lips: I Love the 80′s you get a group of your thirty-something friends and mix thoroughly with copious amounts of booze, and you have the makings of quite possibly the best evening ever.
