Obviously, one of the most anticipated publisher lineups for the Tokyo Game Show this year is Square-Enix's, considering it's their 20th anniversary. Thankfully, they have released their list well ahead of time, and there are a few interesting surprises here and there.
For example, The Last Remnant - the first next-generation RPG not called "Final Fantasy" from S-E - will only appear in video form, which is unfortunate, because we had hoped for some actual gameplay at TGS. And another bit of news caused some waves: the old-school S-E fighter, Tobal, is making its return, and will be playable at this year's major event in Tokyo. Unfortunately, it's only for mobile phones...sorry to get your hopes up there, gamers.

The announcement was made on the official Midway forums by the moderator "Echo77." Where do we recognise that name from? Oh yeah, he's the same fellow that started the Stranglehold region free nonsense a couple of months ago. Regardless, we're going to remain cautiously optimistic and hope for the best come Thursday.

Love everything about Unreal Tournament? Want to play a small - yet very personal - role in the upcoming UT3 this fall? Well, Midway and Epic Games have just the contest for you- they're looking to the UT community and fans to name the next map currently being prepared for the game.
If this interests you, head on over to the Official UT Forums and enter a name that best fits the new previously unrevealed map (pictured in the forums). If you succeed in applying exactly the correct label for this particular playground of destruction and mayhem, you will see your name in the credits of the final game! So check it out, submit your best title idea for the map, and you just might become a part of development history.
Scheduled to ship in November for the PS3 and PC, Unreal Tournament 3 is rarin' to go, and we've no doubt Epic is readying another gem. We have complete faith in their skills, but it's also great to see them incorporating their fans into the process. The more consumer interaction the better, right?

The Wall Street Journal reports that Sony is preparing for a full-on fight in the digital downloads arena with new video services tied to its Bravia televisions and PlayStation systems. Gasping in surprise at this point is a clear sign that you haven't been keeping up with the news, though reminding you will at least enable us to fill out the rest of this paragraph. Sony recently unveiled a video-on-demand service for the PlayStation Portable and a DVR system for the PlayStation 3, both aimed at Europe. Coupled with the Korean PS3's video service, a "long overdue" online PSP store and earlier murmurings of Sony's intention to tussle with iTunes, it would seem time is the only thing between us and Sony's video marketplace.
It won't be an easy battle -- Apple's iPod and Microsoft's Xbox 360 Video Marketplace are armed to the teeth -- but Sony's considerable library of films should give them a solid start in content. Of course, how they'll manage to offer HD video downloads without stepping on Blu-ray's toes (the ongoing battle metaphor equivalent being friendly fire) is another matter entirely.

IT|Redux, New Rules for a New IT World, today announced it will showcase ways to use the PLAYSTATION3 (PS3) system as a powerful personal computing device during the Office 2.0 Conference to take place in San Francisco, CA on September 5-7, 2007.
At the heart of the PS3 system is the Cell Broadband Engine, one of the most advanced computer processors in the world, that enables massive floating point calculation; and the Blu-ray Disc (BD) drive, providing a true High Definition (1080p)(1) next-generation gaming and movie experience in the home. The PS3 system can also be used for running massive scientific calculations for applications such as Folding@home as well as for supporting office productivity by running the Firefox web browser on top of the Linux operating system.
Installing Linux and Firefox on the PS3 enables Sony customers to not only enjoy games and entertainment in the living room but also take advantage of some of the Web browser-based office productivity applications available online today, said Oliver Marks, senior manager, Web Portal for Sony Computer Entertainment America. The Office 2.0 conference is a great opportunity for Sony to showcase the PS3 systems computing power and productivity capabilities.
As a proof of concept, the PS3 system will be used at the conference to drive the flat panel displays showing the conferences agenda and special announcements, by fetching pages served from the Web over a Wi-Fi network.
We are always looking for innovative devices that enable office productivity, said Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio CEO and producer of the Office 2.0 Conference. The PS3 running Firefox on Linux is a perfect example of a device that empowers technology in the living room.
