PS3 Weekend Warrior: Final Fantasy XIII takes over
Busy, busy week on the QJ.NET PS3 blog. The 2009 VGAs last weekend opened up a flood of new game announcements, and the mid-week release of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan also led to lots of traffic on the blog. Great week for fans of the long-running RPG series, really. It was also nice to see a few special editions announced for Europe. European gamers have been getting the short end of the stick long enough. Hit the jump for the PS3 Weekend Warrior.
