Zero Time Dilemma (PC, PS Vita, 3DS)

Is out today on Vita, tomorrow on PC, and the day after that on 3DS.

At least, that's what I know of the digital releases here in Europe. There's no word from Amazon US about the release date of the bonus watch Limited Editions I've paid to import. :/ I am really looking forward to this, but I already bought two copies, and am not really wanting to buy any more of them (murmur murmur, grumble grumble). I have a "zero Zero Time Dilemma dilemma", trying to decide whether to get a digital version...

Ah! Apparently the watched got damaged in transit so they're having to make new ones. So they have a zero timepiece dilemma! :)

The Last Guardian (PS4)

Can you believe this will be out at the end of October? This year?! It's been so many years since this was announced, it seems hardly believable.

As well as a normal and special edition, there is a really over the top collector's edition available from GAME which comes with a little statue and costs over £100!

Here is an interview with the creator of The Last Guardian (and ICO and Shadow of the Colossus), in the newspaper The Guardian.... so I guess the game's title is a little bit scary for them, haha.

He sounds... a little too much of a sensitive perfectionist. I hope the reviews are favourable for his sake, he's put so much into it.
