While we’ve seen plenty of cutscenes, Square Enix has released a new batch of screens from upcoming role-playing-game Final Fantasy XIII. There’s in-game battle screens to boot!
When thinking about Vin Diesel vehicle Wheelman earlier today, I found myself recommending it as a rental. Thing is, I’ve never rented a game in my life.
Vin Diesel loves his video games. Not just playing them, but developing them and starring in them. Wheelman – starring Vin Diesel and developed by his own Tigon Studios came out last week – is a mix of Driver and Burnout and it’s better than you might think. Here’s five reasons why you might dig it.

Apple applies for patent for pressure sensitive touchscreens. Huh? How is that new? Anyone know some prior art out there?
JVC builds 180Hz LCD. Makes 120Hz screens look like chumps. Don’t we need about 1000Hz to match plasma efficiency?
40GB PS3 now official. Zero back compat. With PS2 still available, really cheap and now so tiny, is back compat really an issue?
Puke-o-matic amusement park ride isn’t for the weak stomached. Ones that go a bit off-axis now and then feel much worse.
Yamaha YSP-500 the littlest sound beam system. This could really be the ‘sweet spot’ system for many homes.
Hulk PC mod is nothing short of spectacular. Without hesitation, this is the best case mod I’ve ever seen.
Craig Venter claims artificial life has been created. Just waiting on that little thing called ‘peer review’ to confirm.
