I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out how EA’s pricing structure works. My girlfriend and I have been looking for something fun to pass the time away on Xbox Live, and nearly jumped when we saw Monopoly available in the Arcade space.

It’s been a long time coming, but gamers in the West are only a few short months away from the Final Fantasy XIII release.

Comprised mostly of a team responsible for Final Fantasy VII, X and X-2, Final Fantasy XIII marks the first time since Final Fantasy VII that the series has appeared on a non-Sony console (FF XI and the handheld remakes notwithstanding).
