EGM March 2007: Rumors and reviews

In spite of all the issues surrounding the future of EGM, the business still has to go on. And go on, it did. EGM has some rumors and reviews in their upcoming issue (#213, March 2007). Going over NeoGAF, we have found an interesting thread which talks of the said EGM reviews and rumors. Let’s start with the rumors first, shall we?

• Rumor 1 – Square has another MMO Final Fantasy (à la FFXI) in the works for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. It is said that it won’t be set in Vana’diel, but rather a world from a previous FF game.
• Rumor 2 – Tekken 6 pushed back until 2008.
• Rumor 3 – Mistwalker planning Blue Dragon 2, depending on U.S. sales. A DS spin-off is also possible.
• Rumor 4 – Wipeout PS3 to hit in 2007, uses the MotorStorm engine. (That’s one sizzling combination!)
• Rumor 5 – Mizuguchi working on a Space Channel 5 follow-up.
• Rumor 6 – EA making a kiddie Madden.
• Rumor 7 – Indiana Jones game to hit with movie in 2008.

Another MMO Final Fantasy would be really nice, in my opinion, and may even give Blizzard a run for its money. A handheld version of Blue Dragon also sounds appealing, but I am a bit skeptical about a tykes version of Madden. Well, what do you guys think?

On to the reviews. Virtua Fighter 5 was deemed as EGM’s Game of the Month. They also have good reviews for Crackdown, NBA Street Homecourt (PS3, Xbox 360), and Battlestations: Midway among many other games.
