As we approach Christmas, we can expect the online sales frenzy to grow greater and greater, reaching a horrid peak somewhere around the middle of next week as all the online stores and digital distributors make their final lunges at our wallets. This week we’re still seeing some worthy sales, though, so let’s take a look at what’s available at the moment.
Final Fantasy IV was first released way back in 1991 as a SNES game, but as with much of the Final Fantasy series it has been re-released many times on different consoles and is now heading for the PSP.
The PSP game will be called Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection and as well as including the original game it will also include its follow up Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which itself was only originally released in 2008 as a mobile game in
In what has to be one of the strangest PR stunts we have seen, THQ has begun to advertise its newest shooter via a number of online gaming websites. What is so strange about that, you ask?

Interactive has announced a release date for the brawler. Fighting fans can look forward to getting their hands on the newest game in the revered series on April 19, 2011. In addition to the release date reveal, several Kollector’s Editions (see what they did there?) have been announced.
The dust has finally settled from the Spike TV VGAs 2010, and the massive awards ceremony has left a number of exclusive reveals in its wake.
