Square Enix filed a trademark yesterday for "Final Fantasy Type-0" with the OHIM, the trademark office for the European Union. The filing included a logo, seen above. While the company has been openly discussing a number of projects bearing the Final Fantasy name in recent months, the phrase "type-0" was not mentioned in English or in Japanese. The filing was uncovered by Silconera who noted that the Japanese company does not normally include a logo with every filing. Silconera pointed to next month's 1st Production Department Premiere as a potential unveiling for something connected to this new trademark.

This is indeed heavy. Just as we were beginning to worry that Telltale’s pre-Xmas release date for Back to the Future might slip until after the holidays, old Chris Cringle, or more likely Emmet Brown, delivers some seasonal cheer. Yup, the first of the episodic BTTF chapters will launch on PC and Mac next week…

When you wake up on the 25th there’s a good chance one of the following games is gonna be under your tree; unless you’re not Christian, in which case you already bought and beat it. Either way, you’re gonna want some tips in your never-ending quest to humiliate all the scrubs online who keep getting lucky and embarrassing you. Good news, we’ve got a huge batch of multiplayer tips and strategies for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Halo: Reach and Black Ops right here, including a cool new Achievement video guide for Black Ops. So sit back, pour some Egg Nog (or other non-holiday related beverage) and read up, because the only thing worse than coal in your stocking is an embarrassing kill/death ratio.
Contrary to what your co-workers/teachers/parents tell you, swearing your head off is both big and clever. Not convinced? Then let this kickass Bulletstorm developer diary persuade you, as it rocks your f*cking face off with a veritable shit-storm of Epic-endorsed swears…

Bethesda has released a new trailer for its first Fallout: New Vegas DLC, 'Dead Money', which can best be described as Oceans 11 with slave collars. Get a sneak peak at out out how you'll soon be getting rich (or decapitated) in the wastelands this holiday season...
Vents, huh, yeah. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing… except the useful circulation of oxygen. Granted, that’s definitely one in the plus column for the humble air vent. But you can also stick ‘houses flesh-eating space beasties’ right in the con column. We can see why Dead Space’s Isaac Clarke hates the glorified wall holes so much. See him give one what for (courtesy of a B. Buttercup-pleasing unicorn) in the festive Dead Space 2 video inside…
Tired of shooting men in the face in the same old Call of Duty: Black Ops maps? Then rejoice. For you shall soon be able to partake in said make believe face-shooting on new maps, when the game’s first DLC is released on February 1st. Entitled First Strike, the pack will remain a timed-exclusive on 360 for around about a month. All the details on the new maps inside…
A mysterious trademark for Final Fantasy Type-0 popped up in a European trademark database. (more…)

If your family celebrates Christmas (the commercial one, not the Jesus one), there should be a stack of gaudy paper-covered boxes somewhere in your house. And if your parents love you, some of those boxes should be small, thin, and rectangular, with a little groove on one edge, and a slight rattle when shaken...

With 2010 just weeks from being a bad memory, the time has once again arrived to do what we do at the close of every year: round up the ugliest, laziest, most misguided examples of box art that stank up store shelves over the last 12 months, drag them into the light and make fun of them until we get bored.
In some ways, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for awful box art. There’ve been very few that have jumped out at us as immediately, hideously awful, and if we didn’t know better, we’d think the industry was actually paying attention. Fortunately, there are more than enough shitty-to-mediocre attempts at box art to go around this year, giving us no fewer than 40 entries to work with, up from last year’s 25. Brace yourselves – this is going to suck...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 wanted to see a team spirit on its new Vietnam DLC package before unlocking a remastered Operation: Hastings map. PC players have answered the call first, passing the 69 million “team action” threshold required earlier today. (more…)

We gamers can be real dicks. We're spoiled, entitled, and seem to feel that we’re owed great games. And we want them for free. We’re called out as dicks from time to time on forums, and when we step back and look at it, we must admit have a hard time disagreeing. Gamers have a nasty habit of biting the hands that feed us. Don't believe us? Ponder these colossally boneheaded gamer behaviors, ripped right from the pages of history...

Aerith may have eaten sword over a decade ago, but the legend of Final Fantasy VII's most famous flower girl has lived on in countless fan tributes. Few, however, are as professionally produced or just plain fun to crack out at a party as US recording artist Random's newest hip-hop homage...
Mario, Kirby, Samus and Donkey Kong will not appear on these pages. Neither will Ezio, Sam Fisher or Commander Shepard. While we spent plenty of time with these videogame stars in 2010, they're old. Familiar. Expected. Lovable yet predictable.
You certainly can't say that about the following 10 characters, first introduced to us over the past 12 months. They're new. Surprising. Exciting. We'd barely heard of them at the start of the year, but by the end, we couldn't stop talking about them. Or wanting to see more of them...
