August is a month full of events. And that's with or without a Large Hadron Collider accidentally ending the world. For one, there's Square Enix's DKS3713 event that just recently concluded - lots of news there - and guess what? A chance to win 300 bucks in our very own PSP homebrew contest! QuickPeek 58 is about to roll in with a band of merry Warriors and a mutant-pig!

After the media blitz from the DKS3713 event of Square Enix, things have been rather slow. And if you're still holding out for that big FF7 announcement - which I think is already covered when they announced that FF7ACC will include the FF13 demo - then here's something you might want to see. I do warn you though, it's nothing but a rumor - more of fan art, even. But I'll nonetheless share it with you guys. Time for anagram lessons.

As Square Enix's DKΣ3713 continues, more and more love for both the Sony PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS gaming systems as well ast he PS3 are being announced. Hit the full article for more news about Dissidia: Final Fantasy, the new portable entries in the Kingdom Hearts series and the PS3-exclusive Final Fantasy Versus 13.

Cid has been a staple character in the Final Fantasy series since time immemorial. And it's high time we celebrate (i.e. geek out on) this iconic character that's been around through the ages. Join us for a look back on the life and times of Cid. Are you sure you know them all? We got a chain-smoking pilot and a frog - there's also the guy in the Mega Man suit and even one that looks like Robin Williams. Think you're a Cid buff? Well, it's time to celebrate twenty years of Final Fantasy!

QuickJump QuickPeek 57 is here with all the nitty-gritty news from last week. A rumored new model for the PSP (which I'd playfully dub as the PSP Slim & Probably-Case-Modded Lite - who knows?), some talk of PS3 Trophies, new XBL content, improving the Wii Friend Code system, and well, dead penguins. *teardrops* Oh, right! And our Comment of the Week section also took quite a toll - ha!, talk about waxing rhetorics dialogues...

Famitsu has let slip a few details about a special event Square Enix is readying for August. The event's currently called DKΣ3713 and might have something to do with some of the company's upcoming titles. Further details are available in the full article.

(Editor's Note: QuickPeek finally hits the big FIVE-OH!)

Two more editions and we'll be clocking in a full year of weekly recaps! What's in store this week? Lots of hellos and goodbyes. Some hellos are pre-mature, as seen in the case of MGS4 breaking street date (or not), and some goodbyes are actually kinda uplifting - especially if it might result in a 10-year disbarment. Get ready for some major surprises this week!

So Jump Festa 2008 has come and gone. Curious about what demo titles you didn't get to play? Some of the games in Jump Festa we've already reported on but you might be curious to see what else was present during the event. Check out the full article for the demo titles featured in Jump Festa 2008.

Nowadays, we just can't help but think only about Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest whenever we hear the name Square Enix. But Square Enix's president Yoichi Wada wants gamers to know that they do not depend on those two chart-topping franchises alone. More details in the full article.

Well, it's confirmed. If any of you guys have a convenient ticket going to Japan, now would be a good time to book it so you can catch the Jump Festa 2008 event. That's where Square Enix will be previewing the closed door trailer of its upcoming Final Fantasy Fabula Nova Crystallis games, as well as its other highly anticipated titles for next year.
