E3+PSP=OMG!

E3, Oh E3. So much news, so much to talk about. If you didn't know, the biggest electronic entertainment show of the year is on right now. We've had press conferences from Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, and there's a whole lot more to come. Many exciting things were announced during these briefings, and I certainly plan on sharing my opinions with you on everything: brand new games, unexpected sequels, titles that require weird controllers, and even those that use no controller at all!

But of all the things we saw and heard in the last couple of days, there was only one announcement that made my mouth hang open and my eyes light up with glee. With all the futuristic gadgets and games that we have in store, I felt a little silly when I realized how excited I was, and if you'll just allow me to let go of self restraint for a moment.......

OMFG! Final Fantasy VII is coming to PSN for download today!!! I know it's twelve years old, and I know that it probably looks like Pong compared to some of the other titles being shown at E3, but it's coming today!! I'm sure I'm not the only person who ran right into their bedroom and started searching for their PSP charger when this was announced. Unfortunately, we all came to realize that today doesn't mean right now.

I must admit, I got a little tired of waiting, and that's why I'm writing to you. I hope that by the time I finish, I can pick up my Buster Sword and tell Shinra to kiss my ass! Don't Worry, I'm not going to spend a long time describing wonderful memories of FFVII right now; I'll save that until after I've played it again. In fact, that might make a nice article: Discovering if I still love it after all these years.

So anyway, I'll be back shortly to discuss everything else that's going on at E3, but right now, I've got a rebellion to lead and a planet to save. And to anyone with a PSP or PS3, I have just one thing to say: Go buy this game now! Well, as soon as it's available anyway.....

P.S. Dan - Wish you were here!
