Big Brain!!!

Ok, so this isn't RPG-related at all. However, the game is enjoyable enough that I really thought it deserved some attention.

Anyway, I've been addicted to Big Brain Academy for a week or so now, and I'm going to suggest it to any Wii owners out there. It's not a perfect game, but it's mentally challenging and serves as a GREAT party game for those of us that actually have some friends. This game has kept me hooked to the point that I haven't been able to play any RPGs lately, and they're starting to pile up on me.

So, how big is your brain?

Square Loves the PS3

Despite dissappointing PS3 sales and no Square Enix titles on the platform to date, Square Enix character creator Tetsuya Nomura stated that he believes that the PS3 is the best system to help Square Enix reach their goal of quality games that allow developers to express their imagination.

Square Enix support on the Xbox 360 has been minimal, and while Nintendo appears to currently have the edge with Nintendo DS and Wii titles, this news might indicate that the tides will soon turn. Final Fantasy XIII is still headed for the PS3, and so far still promises to be PS3 exclusive. Although, Square Enix has also announced that the title will not be released this year.
