Final Fantasy IV out 5th September on Nintendo DS

FINAL FANTASY IV will be released across PAL territories on 5th of September 2008, exclusively on the Nintendo DS system.

FINAL FANTASY IV, one of the highest rated adventure games of all time, makes an impressive return on Nintendo DS. With improved 3D graphics, fully-voiced cut-scenes, an inspiring remixed score and additional never before seen content, there has never been a better time to immerse yourself in this masterpiece of interactive storytelling.

The game that broke the RPG moulds with its innovative Active Time Battle (ATB) system has been revamped, whilst keeping all the charm of the original release. The gameplay benefits from all the Nintendo DS capabilities and allows for a deeper and richer experience of a tale of exceptional heroes, inevitable betrayal, unforeseen redemption, endless love and colossal magic.

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “FINAL FANTASY IV is one of the most significant titles in the history of the FINAL FANTASY franchise. It has been remarkably enhanced for the Nintendo DS, making it a great opportunity for our fans to experience its deep story and ground-breaking battle system in an exciting and innovative new way”.

Battle for Atlantis RTS video game for Xbox

Genre: RTS
Site: http://world-forge.com/eng/
Developer: WorldForge

The last war on the planet erupted when people found the ancient civilization of Atlantis which has been concealed at the ocean bottom for ages. Humans have underestimated the power of Atlanteans and thus the war takes place in the middle of ultimate elemental disasters – hurricanes and floods. The remains of regular troops are trying to stand up against the army of Atlanteans; this army consists of giant dinosaur-reptiles that have been tamed and fully controlled by bionic mages of Atlantis.

The game is being made by the team responsible for “Ancient Wars: Sparta”, but has a new and very powerful engine with a full Xbox360 support. For the first time in the history of RTS, a full physical model of water space will be created in the game. Real waves and tsunamis, floods and destruction of the landscape by water, river flows and waterfalls, splendid underwater effects – all this gives an enormous scope of creation and makes the game world of Atlantis as real as never before.

The title is the first Xbox360 RTS to come out of Russia and is scheduled for a release in October 2009.

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars on PlayStation Network

Psyonix Studios Creates One of the Longest Named Games Ever Online

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, an arena-based online vehicle sports game for PLAYSTATION Network that brings together animated vehicles in sports-like gameplay.

The game features vehicles with incredible physics-based maneuverability, including boosters for launching high into the air or accelerating at break-neck speed on the ground. In the air, cars can roll, flip, jump, dodge or spin. In this team-based soccer-inspired game, the vehicles maneuver to perform breathtaking saves, awe-inspiring shots on goal, and gruesome demolishes of opponent cars. These abilities, combined with the players' own creativity, create a unique and thrilling experience every time.

Wide-ranging community involvement is supported through team and league play, as well as extensive statistical tracking, rankings, and rewards for individuals and teams. The game features mini-games and single player matches as well as team and league matches and scrimmage matches online. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars will also feature PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system trophies and players will be able to upload videos of their most exciting games to YouTube.

"It takes a pretty special game to carry such a lengthy title and be able to hold its head high amongst games with much shorter names," commented Dave Hagewood, Director of Development at Psyonix Studios. "Thankfully, we don't have to worry about fitting this title on a package."
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is expected to be available in early fall 2008.

Best Sudoku apps for iPhone and iPod touch

Chances are, you’re fully aware that the number-placement logic game Sudoku is massively popular.

But if you’ve been in a cave the past few years and need evidence, look no further than the 18 (and counting) versions of Sudoku apps available in the iTunes App Store, ranging in price from 99 cents to $10.

If you’re a fan of Sudoku, which do you buy? Unfortunately, the current state of the App Store doesn’t allow for demo versions of software, leaving you to take a wild guess based on a short description and a few screenshots.

But Macworld is here to help: I tested every iPhone Sudoku app and picked out those worthy of your iPhone’s screen. (It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it.)
