This just in. I just received an email from Square-Enix Europe informing me that Vagrant Story is to come out on PSN on the 12th of November. That is THIS THURSDAY! Oh joy, I haven't played Vagrant Story since I rented it years ago. I am really keen to play it again. I must have it!

*Screams in joy!*

I haven't heard any word of it coming to the US PSN, but I'm sure it will, unless it already has.

Hey GameSpotters!!

October has come and gone, and here's what happened.

Not much gaming went on, mainly because I've been taking constant breaks from it. It's been mainly music this month. Also, Halloween was awesome!

GAME OF THE MONTH

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)

This month has been very nostalgic for me, and I haven't played a newer title in a while now (excluding Dissidia and Vesperia). I thought I'd play some Ocarina of Time to cure my gaming depression, and it worked. Despite the fact that I have played through Ocarina thousands of times, I still love it, and it still partly cures depression. I've always wondered why.

SONG OF THE MONTH

I couldn't come up with just one, so....

From the 1970's: The Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin IV, 1971)

From the 1980's: Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe (Dr. Feelgood, 1989)

From the 1990's: Heart-Shaped Box - Nirvana (In Utero, 1993)

Yet more nostalgia.

DEMO OF THE MONTH

God of War III. I wouldn't mind giving this series a go. I'll most likely purchase the GoW Collection coming out soon.

ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MONTH

Music Maestro, 25G - Banjo-Kazooie

There are 900 musical notes out there in the world of Banjo-Kazooie. Real gamers collect them all...

COLLECTIBLE OF THE MONTH

Cloud Strife figurine. I got it out of a lucky dip. There are 5 figurines in that series that you can get, and you don't know which one is in the box.

There was Warrior of Light, Cloud, Squall, Zidane and Tidus. I got Cloud.

VIRTUAL ITEM OF THE MONTH

Master Sword - Various Zelda games.

HERO OF THE MONTH

Link. I'm sure you don't need a picture of him.

VILLAIN OF THE MONTH

Ganondorf. I'm sure you don't need a picture of this guy either.

PURCHASE OF THE MONTH

Tales of Destiny: Official Guidebook for $5.50.

VIRTUAL BABE OF THE MONTH

Reith - Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
