Square Enix has announced a triple helping of Final Fantasy XIII for RPG addicts at its E3 press conference, with PS3 and next gen mobile phones both getting a dose of the next incarnation of the acclaimed RPG series.

The main deal is Final Fantasy XIII set to debut on the PS3 and it's set in a futuristic sci-fi universe. The trailer on show at the conference featured an amazing mix of real time and cgi footage - and in the words of our erstwhile reporter, it looked "absolutely stunning" with it being sometimes hard to distinguish between the CGI and in-game sections.

Next up is Final Fantasy Agito XIII coming for next gen mobile phones, obviously drawing strongly on Square's splendid RPG heritage but bringing the adventure to a whole new mobile generation.

Lastly Square unveiled Final Fantasy Versus XIII for PS3 and in the words of our man in the know, it featured the most impressive trailer of all being constructed by the Advent Children team. Versus is being developed by the guys who did Kingdom Hearts in conjunction with Square.

All three games form part of Square's Project Fabula Nova Crystallis, a similar cross platform concept based on the Final Fantasy VII model. ...

Square Enix has unsheathed its sword today in another cracker from its pre-show conference in the form of Dragon Quest Swords, a brand new title for Nintendo's Wii.

From the same series as the epic Dragon Quest VIII, Japan's all consuming monster RPG, Dragon Quest Swords is subtitled The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors and our man on the spot told us it was shown in trailer form only but described it as one amazing looking movie.

What's most intriguing is that Dragon Quest Swords will be in place for the Wii's launch before the end of this very year and the trailer was said to feature a heroic warrior fighting with a hideous monster in a darkened woodland setting, with the Wii's controller being used to direct sword strokes as he grappled with the beast. ...

We've known that Sonic Team has been slaving away on a next-gen game starring everyone's favourite blue hedgehog for a while now - and we've even seen some sumptuous pre-rendered footage, initially shown behind closed doors at TGS last year. Now though, Sega has revealed the first in-game footage of Sonic the Hedgehog for PS3 and Xbox 360 - and we've got the trailer right here.

Featuring a leaner, meaner looking Dr. Robotnik and a whole host of animal chums accompanying Sonic on his latest adventure, it seems that the usual running and jumping platform antics are intact, alongside some bouncy buggy-and-blasting action too.

It's all looking mighty pretty - as you'd expect on next-gen - and hopefully it'll have the gameplay to match. Check back later in the week for first impressions, just as soon as E3's doors swing open this Wednesday.

Author Dean Takahashi has claimed in his new book, The Xbox 360 Uncloaked, that half of Microsoft's Xbox 360 hardware team has moved onto a portable hardware project - designed to compete with Nintendo's DS and Sony's PSP - since the launch of the next gen machine.

Takahashi claims the team was split in two following the launch, leaving the other half to work solely on reduced production costs of Xbox 360.

According to the writer, the portable is planned to be released halfway into Xbox 360's lifespan, a strategy to assuage the crippling costs of moving through hardware cycles. Sony, obviously, has employed a similar approach with PS2 and PSP.

A Microsoft gaming handheld has been long-rumoured, the latest occurrence adding fuel to this particular fire being the release of a movie for the company's Origami project. A promotional video for the handheld PC showed Halo 2 running on its screen. ...
