| Final Fantasy X | |
| Ah, that's better. A RPG for PlayStation 2. The highly anticipated next installment of the Final Fantasy series made it out just in time for Christmas. Was that a good move? Or should they have worked on it longer? Final Fantasy X (PS2) | |

| Dragon Warrior 7 | |
| Amazing as it sounds, they are still making games for good ol' PSone. The Dragon Warrior series has been around much longer then even Final Fantasy, and fans say it's still the king of RPGs. Dragon Warrior VII (PSX) | |

| Merry Christmas and a DW7 | |
| Happy Holidays (so as to not leave anyone out:)! Updates have been slow due to the holidays and extensive game playing, and it might not change for at least several more days. Maybe presents one gets will motivate a few to submit... Until then (and until I can make a headline graphic), check out Frink's review of Dragon Warrior 7 (PSX). Yes, as crazy as it sounds, they still make games for PSone. Now go! Play some games and enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight. | |

| Visual Concepts game revealed | |
| Sega today announced "Soccer Slam" for GameCube. This is Sega's first unique non-traditional sports title for the GC. Combining elements of fantasy and sport, "Soccer Slam" is an entirely new breed of soccer that will supposedly "change your perception of the game." Scheduled for a Spring 2002 release, it will feature action-packed, off-the-wall soccer-meets-street fight gameplay that anyone who hates soccer sims can pick up and play. | |

| Dynasty on GC? | |
| Koei has revealed its first GameCube game. Battle Houshin appears to be an action game, starring the characters from Houshin Engi, a popular manga/anime. The gameplay seems a bit reminscient of Koei's Dynasty Warriors series. There is also a GBA version, which is an RPG, that can be linked with the GameCube game where you can trade data or download scenarios. This marks one of the few interesting games announced since GC's launch. | |

| Meowth makes friends? | |
| Well I just got my 277th trophy in Melee. The fact that I got it after pressing B to go back to the "press start" screen, and then going back to the menu...well thats just downright weird. Maybe it had something to do with beating allstar mode with everyone...ANYHOO the meowth trophey had him holding a guitar and pretty much hinted at that little "Meowth's Party" demo from way back when being a real game. "This is Meowth's Dream, to invite all his friends over and he can strum his guitar and have this big musical fest" Bah I dont remember, but it was nice and corny. Please tell me that isnt a direct hint. I can honestly say I am not excited for the game, but the fact that it's in Melee is puzzling indeed. | |

| Enix it | |
| Well for those of you that like rumors, apparently Enix is intrigued by the GBA/GC connection and will have some GC titles in the works really soon. DQVIII's platform is still unknown. Thanks to GC-Inside. | |

| Update on that Visual Concepts game.. | |
| The ESRB has revealed a Sega game for Gamecube titled Line Drive Baseball. It's important to note that it's only listed for GC. Hmm an exclusive baseball game for GC made by Sega? I dont know about you but this has "secret Visual Concepts game" written all over it. And even if it isn't, at least there will now be TWO baseball games for the cube... | |

| Pikmin | |
| Miyamoto has done it again! Not only is this one of GameCube's finest, but also one of the finest of this past year. Pikmin are taking the world by storm in this very original title. Just look at them, how can you not love these little guys:) Pikmin (GC) | |

| 3rd party game thats NOT a port | |
| IGNcube has learned that an original GameCube sports title is in development by studio Visual Concepts. The game is scheduled to release for GameCube during the first quarter of 2002. No details have been made available regarding the project, but sources have confirmed that it is being designed from the ground up to run exclusively on the GameCube platform. It is, for once, not a port. (Link to the left) | |

| Halo | |
| Halo was Xbox's most talked about game. In fact, one of the most hyped games of the past year. Does it live up to the hype? Does it warrant an Xbox purchase? Why do I ask so many questions, just read it! Halo (XB) | |

| Capcom courts GC | |
| The following is taken straight from Cloudchaser. I didn't see a need to change the quote so here it is. In the Biohazard preview in issue #104 of EDGE magazine, there's some interesting words regarding Capcom. "Rumours abound of Capcom's imminent desertion of Playstation in favour of GameCube. If it's true, hopefully the result will be more titles of this calibre... But confusion still reigns over Capcom's decision to switch allegiance. Will Capcom's PS2 development wind down? And will Nintendo demand exclusivity from Capcom to its platform? Although the sequel to DMC and Onimusha are still going ahead on Sony's hardware, it seems likely that the movement across to GameCube will become more pronounced in 2002. Also, Shinji Mikami who is fast becoming the public face of Capcom does not believe that the PS2's dominance in the short term will last, underlining the fact that most of his previous projects - including DMC and Resident Evil: Code Veronica were opposed by his bosses." | |

| Where's NBrid Lisa? | |
| Recently there have been a number of questions about the slow updates to the site, and a few nasty rumors have even been circulating about this. Well let me put these fears to rest. With the release of GameCube (and XBox I guess:) plus a number of excellent PS2 releases, we have all been busy playing games for once (hence the unusually large number of reviews). Once things settle down, you should see all your favorite articles again, that's if the holidays don't stop us:) | |

| Devil May Cry | |
| Capcom continues to show why they are one of the best game developers out there today. In the same vain as Resident Evil comes Devil May Cry, yet it's nothing like RE. How can this be? Devil May Cry (PS2) | |

| What's in the news lately? | |
| Well it's the holiday season and most of the gaming news is, believe it or not, centered around actually PLAYING games. So to sum up the past week: new screenshots of Resident Evil, a bunch of new confirmed games that won't be interesting until we actually see some screens, Konami is making more sports games for GC but still none of the likes of MGS2 or Silent Hill. Speaking of Gamecube...Nintendo plans to release about 10 games of their own in the 2002 year. What do we already know? Starfox, Kobe Bryant 02, Mario Sunshine, 100 Marios, Marionette, Celda, Metroid, Perfect Dark Zero, Animal Forest Plus, and Animal Leader...Damn thats 10 right there (I dont know if they'll bring Doshin the Giant over here). Well Im not sure if they are counting 2nd party efforts in that statement because that would be pathetic (and the rumored Kid Icarus game would be just a rumor). | |
