So it looks like the PS3 is pretty much finished because of Sony’s asinine idea to couple an unproven media player with an anti-3rd party developer console at an astronomical price that nobody can afford in these recession days ($399? Wow……) Both the Xbox and the Wii cost $199 which is a hell of a deal for two consoles with a strong library of excellent games. Sony blew it before when Apple hijacked the music business. Looks like they blew it again.

I saw the Dante’s Inferno video game preview and I was……disappointed. I know that after the success of Dead Space, EA thinks it can make all types of crap but don’t we already have a superior and proven video game loosely based on Durante degli Alighieri’s masterpiece? Devil May Cry is exactly the type of game Dante would have been loving to play if his extra dead ass were still alive and gaming in hell. Not only is the DMC series funny but you get to blast and slash your way straight to hell and back in every game of the series. This EA bullshit game is going to suck I just know it because they have Dante decked out in stupid ass looking armor slamming crosses on the heads of demons……Ok, ok, EA let’s get something straight. The Divine Comedy is not about some ultra armored dude being all serious and purging the world of evil with metal crosses. If anyone cops this game over DMC then lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate mutherfuckaz!

Besides Final Fantasy VII all the other FF games ain’t shit. Seriously though, FF stopped being cool a long time ago. I just play the rest of them because it is something you do. If you don’t play FF, there is no way you can have a decent conversation with other people. Square Enix knows that which is why they are going to do what they should have down in the first place and make the Final Fantasy universe into one big myth. Dissidia is the fighting game that will finally provide an origin to this crystal and chocobo filled mess. Chaos versus Kosmos in a battle royale to the death between all of the main FF heroes and villains is going to be quite interesting. I won’t touch it with a  6 foot pole, but I am happy that Final Fantasy will finally take the big step towards a myth which will make playing FF 13 all the more sweeter. What do you think about the Final Fantasy series? How excited are you about Dissidia?
