I’m currently knee-deep in Two Worlds II and from what I have played so far, I highly recommend the game for fans of fantasy action role-playing games.

Tomorrow, March 16th, is the launch day of the highly anticipated God of War III. With only hours left until the game is unleashed for the PlayStation 3, it’s time to plan where to get it first in your area tonight or where to find some last minute pre-order deals online for God of War III. Here you go:
Midnight store openings:

As for finding the $100 God of War III Ultimate Edition, your best bet now is in stores as it looks like most online pre-orders are sold out.

Square Enix today launched their classic role-playing games, Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II, on the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch. These two RPGs are based on the NES Final Fantasy games that started a saga, which now goes to 13. Originally released in Japan in 1987 and 1988, both games have been updated with enhanced graphics, sound and controls for the iPhone and iPod touch platforms. There are also new dungeons that were not included in the original games, so previously players can experience something new.
In celebration of the launch, Square Enix has reduced the cost of its other iPhone and iPod touch games until March 3, 2010. Here are the other games on sale now through March 3rd:
Today’s the launch day of Borderlands, from game developer Gearbox Software and publisher 2K Games. Get ready to play a first-person shooter and role-playing game, all in one. As a matter of fact, 2K Games is calling it a "role-playing shooter (RPS)." In Borderlands, you’ll explore the wasteland of Planet Pandora. Solo or with some friends, it’s your choice. There’s going to be plenty of missions, loot and stat building.
“The Borderlands team at Gearbox has brought together the things we know we love – co-op, skill-based action, character development and millions of guns – in a way we haven’t seen before,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “Borderlands is a great shooter that we can play alone or with friends. I think it’s the best video game we’ve ever made and I have never been more excited about a launch.”
Borderlands will keep you busy in the months ahead. A "bazillion" guns are there to be discovered, says 2K Games. Expect future downloadable expansions, starting with the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, available later this year. See the launch trailer for Borderlandshere.
Borderlands is now available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America and will be available internationally starting October 23rd. Watch for Borderlands to arrive on the PC on October 26th (October 30th internationally).
