I’ve always been a big fan of full-motion video (FMV) and visual novel-type games. I love being able to influence a story based on the kind of choices I’m allowed to make in the game, and watching the story unfold based on those decisions. For some games these decisions lead to massive divergences in the plot, but in others it is just an illusion of choice. It doesn’t matter how much control I have over the narrative—what is most important to me is feeling like I am experiencing the story alongside the characters present in the game. The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story absolutely made me feel like I was right there in the story, solving a grand mystery spanning 100 years.  Originally published on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and Steam back in 2022 by Square Enix, The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is now available on iOS and Android devices, allowing more people the chance to experience the twist and turns of its mystery plot presented through a well-shot, well-acted live-action FMV.  The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story has players follow the story of Haruka Kagami, a popular mystery novelist, as she’s invited to the Shijima family compound by

Square Enix revealed a new IP during Sony's PlayStation Showcase today. Titled Foamstars, this new game takes four-on-four online shooting in a colorful direction. In development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, foam is the ultimate resource to be used in multiple ways. Players can create slippery surfaces to surf around the arena at high speed; to build terrain, helping players defend from enemy attacks or creating high vantage points to take out opponents; and finally, to foam up the opposition and win the match. While Square Enix promises more information on the game in the future, its reveal trailer and screenshots can be caught below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmBUDZNVfz0 Screenshots

Square Enix highlighted a new trailer during Sony's PlayStation Showcase this afternoon, previewing nearly three minutes of footage ahead of Final Fantasy XVI's launch next month. The trailer, titled "Salvation", is fully keyed in on the game's story as well as its characters, locations and the large focus on Eikons and their role in the action battle system. It's a meaty look, and while it does have a few things we've seen already, there's plenty we haven't. In the trailer we see the harsh circumstances faced by the Bearers, those born with the ability to cast magicks at will, and we see the truth that lies behind the Mothercrystals, long supposed to have bestowed blessings upon humanity. The new trailer also offers a glimpse of the first steps of Clive Rosfield, the protagonist of the game, as he and his allies fight to take back control of their fate. Catch the full trailer in English below. We've also added some new screenshots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwWgVDIv3rs Screenshots Final Fantasy XVI will launch for PlayStation 5 on June 22.

There is a slight blurriness to the Nintendo Switch debut version of last year's Live A Live remake. The image quality just isn't the greatest, but it's hardly a dealbreaker. At the time, my thought was that while the game's gorgeous utilization of Square Enix's HD-2D engine would flourish on stronger hardware, it was hardly enough of an issue to tell folks to wait on potential ports. Oops, right? Here we are, less than a year later, and you can now check out this bold and unexpected remake of a previously Japan-only JRPG on not just Switch, but PC and PlayStation consoles as well. What we have been given with these ports is the best-looking and smoothest-running version(s). I booted up Live A Live on my Switch on one of my two TVs, and my PS5 on the other, and the difference was bigger than I would have expected. I'm not talking in technical terms here - I'm no Digital Foundry! - but from a purely amateur perspective, I can safely say Live A Live on PlayStation 5 is crisp enough by comparison that you'll likely be impressed, too. But then I got to thinking, well, Live A Live may look
