00:00 – Revision3 Friend Request After weeks of speculation, the big news is revealed.

01:56 – Combo – Quick Hits of News A Final Fantasy VII Remake (for real this time)? Long-overdue Xbox360 USB support added. Sniper Spy Party detailed. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World serves up some win.

08:51 – Community Check-In A welcome message of sorts to our new audience.

14:06 – Game of the Week: Final Fantasy XIII The Japanese RPG, Final Fantasy XIII, is explored. Is this game mocking us with linearity or merely streamlining the gameplay experience?
