As if the wait for
Final Fantasy XIII wasn't already difficult enough, Square Enix's assistant PR director, Sonia Im, is making it even more torturous. On
her Twitter account, Im teased "
something cool most of you can participate in a few days from now" within a mysterious Square Enix memo. Im later added that the memo "eluded [sic] to something stylish." If you squint, the date in the memo seems to be December 17, which would coincide with a PSN update.
It's anybody's guess past that, but we're hoping for a totally magical Final Fantasy-themed fancy dress party for us and a few of our closest friends, set inside PlayStation Home. Can you even imagine?
That, or a demo like the one our Japanese friends already have. Either way.

Cash flow in many games is almost as big a problem as it can be in real life. We've recently had our resident
EVE Online column running a series on
the best ways to make ISK in the game, and you can barely throw a stone without hitting a site offering a guide to make X ludicrous amount of gold per hour in
World of Warcraft. But we may have reached the end of all this maneuvering, as
We Fly Spitfires has recently posted
the most efficient way to make money in every game, ever. Go ahead and take a look right now, but fair warning -- it requires some out-of-game work. And your credit card.
Now, before you start sending angry letters, take a moment to consider the point. It's not that the author is condoning RMT, simply that he's pointing out how much we seem to want to streamline the process of playing the game when, really, we already know the absolute fastest way to increase our virtual coffers. That doesn't make it commendable or ethical, but if we're
so keen on speeding ourselves up, we might do well to remember that the journey, not the destination, is more frequently our reason for playing.

First off, alliteration? Always fun. Moving on, we've got five new
Star Trek Online screens for your viewing pleasure today. If you're wondering whether or not we're embellishing with our headline, well just take a look at the image above this post. That's a pretty good preview of what your eyes will be seeing in the rest of these images.
If screens aren't enough to please you (and let's face it: they never are) then you should take a look at our several community Q&A features
covering ships,
space combat and
ground combat. As usual, the five new screens can be found at the end of our gallery. Enjoy!

Rumor has it that Steven Spielberg is getting ready to prove that you really can have a social network for just about anything. His latest online project started out with Yahoo!, but has since found a home with an independent company after the mega-portal shelved the movie director/mogul's idea of a social network dedicated to those who have had or want to share a paranormal or extra terrestrial experience.
Stories have circulated about Spielberg having such an encounter himself at the Excelsior House hotel, where he was so frightened by ghosts that he fled the hotel for another one... 20 miles away.
Sources say the site should launch in the next couple of months.

One of the
least surprising "World Exclusive" reveals during last night's
Video Game Awards show was the unveiling of Harmonix's next single-band opus,
Green Day: Rock Band. In case you missed out on the late-to-the-party announcement, you can
check out the debut trailer after the jump. If you don't feel like watching a streaming video at the moment, we'll summarize: It looks a heck of a lot like when you play those Green Day DLC songs on
Rock Band 2.
The MTV Games press release that landed in our inbox shortly after the trailer aired contained one particularly interesting piece of news -- unlike
The Beatles: Rock Band, all of the tracks in Green Day's outing will be exportable to the core
Rock Band games. In addition, all the Green Day DLC released so far for the music platform, as well as the three
21st Century Breakdown tracks that will hit this Tuesday, will be compatible with
Green Day: Rock Band. No release date has been given thus far, but the presser specifies that its coming to the Wii, PS3 and 360.
