New "Kingdom Hearts" Game Screenshots Leaked

A Square Enix sanctioned release shows off some new screenshots from the upcoming Kingdom Hearts prequel for the PSP. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has no set date currently, but there's a possibility for a 2009 release. If you look carefully, you can see the character Terra doing some killer moves with his keyblade in the bottom right-hand corner.

Oh, for those of you who don't know, Kindom Hearts is what happens when a bunch of Final Fantasy games and Walt Disney have a big, dramatic baby.

Thanks PSP Hyper.

EA Casts Lumos on New Harry Potter Game Cover

Well, we're over halfway through 2008, and although the Harry Potter book series is through and done with, there's still two more films left. You know what that means? That's right - two more mediocre and/or awful video games based on the movies! There's no big news on the game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but there is some box art available for viewing. Check it.


Does it meet the confringo expectations? I assume not. It's pretty much the cover for every other film and game, except this time Harry is slightly older and perhaps even more intense than before (if that's possible). Look out behind you, Harry! It's Alan Rickman! It's true - there's an evil worse than He Who Must Not Be Named himself.

The game is set to be released this November.

Wyclef and Paul Simon Make a Commercial...er...Music Video for Sony

So it's a music video that brings together Wyclef Jean, Paul Simon, the PSP, the PS3, and Burnout Paradise. It looks like somebody wants some free swag from Sony. At least the song isn't all that bad.

It seems, though, like the song is full of social consciousness, and to utilize this song as an outlet for video game publicity is somewhat cheap. Agreement? Disagreement?

Cloud Strife: the Chad Michael Murray of Gaming

Right? The smoldering looks, the big sunglasses, the wavy blonde hair. It's all there. Also, you can tell something's terribly unsettling and wrong with each of them.

Anyway. I think I've made my point.

So there's this game coming out for the PSP in two days called Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. This time, Cloud is sharing the spotlight with his black-haired buddy Zack, as to take the heat off his unwavering good looks. It's kind of like how Chad shared the spotlight with that dreamboat Brian Presley in Home of the Brave in 2006. Anybody else getting a little sweaty?

Right. Here's the trailer.

I actually wish I had a PSP for this one. What a rare occasion. Oh, and there's a new trailer here, if you're still interested.
