This week sees one of the biggest titles of the year being released in Final Fantasy XIII, available for the first time on a Microsoft console, the Final Fantasy games first became mainstream on Sony’s original Playstation console with first Final Fantasy 7 and then 8 both receiving universal acclaim, Final Fantasy XIII is sure to be a big hit. Already 2010 has been a big year for games with so many huge titles being released since the start of the year, (Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, MAG, Aliens Vs Predator, Heavy Rain to name but a few) and with massive AAA titles to come in 2010 (Just Cause 2, God of War 3, Metro 2033, Red Dead Redemption, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Super Street Fighter IV and that’s just until April!!!) it’s going to be a fun ride and I for one can’t wait, happy gaming.
