Square Enix Making Final Fantasy Based iPhone Game

12:15AM Adam Frucci | Square Enix, the famed Japanese publisher behind all 3,000 Final Fantasy games, is hard at work on Crystal Defenders, a new game for the iPhone based on the FF universe.

Square-Enix Teams Up With NeuroSky For Mind-Controlled Gaming Concept

11:30AM Adrian Covert | Square-Enix and NeuroSky will unveil a mind-controlled gaming demo on Thursday at the Tokyo Game Show. The setup works with a Windows PC and the MindSky headset, and runs Square’s software created specifically for this demo. The headset fits over your head with earmuffs and has one electrode that monitors brainwaves. The headset itself is compatible with many different platforms, but it isn’t specified what level of control your brainwaves have over the game. Neurosky only says the headset it monitors your level of relaxation and concentration. The demo will take place in NeuroSky’s booth at TGS. [BusinessWire] More »

5:04AM John Mahoney | That’s right, it’s EXCLUSIVE to Xbox 360. Sony and Nintendo are weeping now. Final Fantasy is a game-changing franchise that can carry a console–especially in Japan, where the 360 has struggled mightily. That’s a hell of a “one more thing” to finish off Microsoft’s E3 Keynote. UPDATE: Whew, Sony can breathe a little easier. It’s not exclusive after all, we got ahead of ourselves–the release will coincide with the PS3 version. Still–awesome. More »
