I ran across a recent article and thought it may do some good to bring some good news back to this forum. Grigon Entertainment and Cartoon Network are currently working on a massive multiplayer online game called Cartoon Network Universe: Freefall. Though, the title is subject to change so bear with me for now. It will be released January 14, 2009. The plot of the game is Planet Fusion has traveled throughout the galaxy for millennia in which devastated countless planets and civilizations, and the next target will be the planet Earth, specifically the Cartoon Network universe. Now the player (which is an original avatar determined by the user) must subscribe and with a few helping hands, that force can be destroyed. The characters have been designed in an Anime (Japanese Animation) format. Here is a list of the confirmed characters:
Dexter, Dee Dee, & Mandark
Computress
Professor Utonium

Princess
Blossom, Bubbles, & Buttercup
Mojo Jojo
Ed, Edd, & Eddy
Lee, May, & Marie Kanker

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals: The Crystal Bearers is due out for the Wii, but currently any other information of the game is unknown. =( Sorry, guys. I'll keep an eye on this one for ya.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Timeý is set for release in Japan on January 29, 2009 and North American release in Spring 2009. It's playable for both the Wii & the Nintendo DS. The protagonist, name currently unknown, is a hero who returns from a forest where he battled a great number of monsters to celebrate his sixteenth birthday, only to find a young girl, Charlotta, suffering from "crystal sickness". The hero then sets out to find a cure for the disease. The game utilises a new engine created by Square Enix called the Pollux Engine, which allows players to link up and adventure together in multiplayer mode regardless of which version of the game (Wii or Nintendo DS) they are playing.
Final Fantasy Agito XIII is due out sometime in 2009, but a specific time of the year is not yet confirmed. The game's plot is thought to be "massive" and is still being finalized as of June 2008. The game is set in a magic school named Akademeia, and will gradually expand to the larger world outside of the school. It is described as an online RPG, but not "massively multiplayer". It's been recently revealed that Orience is the name of the world, and the antagonizing military country is called Milites. A peace treaty is supposed to be in effect with the 4 countries, but Cid of Milites has sent his l'Cie soldier to war with the neighboring countries. Other areas have been revealed recently called Rubrum, Anaze, and Kogai. Twelve characters have been revealed so far, all appearing to be students. Their weapons include a longsword, a katana, handguns, a shotgun, a mace, a bow and arrow, a spear, a scythe, an extending flail, bare fists, a flute, and a deck of Tarot cards. The Moogle, a creature that has appeared in previous Final Fantasy games, is not — but is commonly mistaken to be — a 13th character, but rather appears to be summoned by the girl with the flute. The character with the deck of cards has been revealed to have a greater importance than the other characters (shown in a pamphlet at the 2006 Tokyo Game Show). This game is for the Playstation Portable (PSP).

Chinese Heroes is an online video game in production. The project is being sponsored by the Communist Party of China. The game is being designed in direct competition for World of Warcraft. On average 600,000 users are simultaneously playing World of Warcraft at any given time; however, the CPC does not support such violence. Chinese Heroes is meant to show traditional Chinese values such as patriotism and altruism.
The object of the game is to gain points by answering questions related to the lives of numerous Chinese heroes. Points can also be gained by doing good deeds such as mending clothing. On release, it is expected that at least 70 heroes would be incorporated into the game. Winning of the game occurs when the player has gained enough points to receive a virtual signed copy of Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book".
For those of you into the lighter side of gaming without the long storylines and repetitive tasks, Candy Factory for the Wii & Nintendo DS is out now for both platforms. The game lets players take the role of a factory-manager working for Candace or Colin Kane, two hard working and friendly candy makers, to fix up the factory in order to make their way to the Candy Cup Championships.
7th Dragon takes place in the world of Eden of which 80% is ruled by dragons, so the premise of the game is simple: Kill all the dragons, or the human race is going to be wiped out of existence.When players start their journey, they can create their own characters from the following classes: Mage, Princess, Rogue, Knight, Samurai, Fighter, or Healer. Outside of battle the characters will be viewed traveling the overworld from an overhead perspective, while the battles are viewed from a side perspective showing each character as they attack their foes. This game is for the Nintendo DS, due out in Japan in Spring 2009, which means possibly Late Summer/Early Autumn for American release.
Stay tuned to this thread for more updates.
