Now we all love our console games, but I think it’s time we start showing the PC some cheap gaming love. I’m no computer snob, but PC games have certain perks over their console brethren (i.e. more precise control settings, user-created content) just as console games have their advantages over PC games (i.e. not having to pre-install a game to their hard drive or buy $200+ graphics and sound cards in order to have their copies of Oblivion and Far Cry look halfway decent). Only time I’ve ever featured a PC game on here is when it’s a PC port of a console game. Now that I finally got a computer capable of running games, it’s time to spotlight the other side of gaming, and we’re gonna do just that with this week’s $20 GOTW and Lost Classics.

I’m just reporting all sorts of teasers this weekend.

Seems the new teaser site for the upcoming Batman: Dark Knight movie has been thrown up. Of course, it’s not much to look at right now – only the Batman logo in front of a blue and white explosion-esque background. Still, it means that possible teaser trailers could be in the near future as well.

Check out the teaser site HERE.

This weekend’s Square-Enix party in Chiba, Japan revealed some more interesting tidbits and videos about upcoming titles and plans for the future. Did you expect anything less?

Amongst the flurry of closer video presentation and excitable cosplayers, Square-Enix dropped some more information regarding the new Final Fantasy: Dissidia game for the PSP, including playable characters for the title such as Zidane and Kuja from FFIX, Warrior of Light from the original game, and….big surprise….Sephiroth! Or at least, that’s what has lead viewers of the footage believe. Of course, we won’t know until the official confirmation as to whether or not the famous villian would truly be playable.

Some new footage of a new entry to the Kingdom Hearts series was also featured, but was left vague as to whether or not it was related to the KH3 teaser at the end of the second game, or if it is part of a side-story and new game altogether. Word has it confusion probably won’t be cleared up until the Tokyo Game Show in September.

Ah Square-Enix, you are the cock-tease of the gaming world.

I liked Beerfest quite a bit, and Club Dread wasn’t all that bad either. But no Broken Lizard film matches Super Troopers.

Paul Soter tells MTV…

”There was a period of time where it seemed to us that the only way people recognized us at all was as Super Troopers. So we thought, let’s get a few other films under our belt just to let people know that it’s not the only thing that we do. The more we thought about it we said we should do it. They are great characters and we still have a lot of material left over.”

Theres no script, no money, and no greenlight on this movie. But I’m all aboard anyway. Super Troopers is a classic and if anything is missing from their other movies its that I really just didn’t get into the characters as much. I certainly hope this sequel talk isn’t just a bunch of shenanigans.

MTV Movies Blog reports: Kirsten Dunst Ready To Rock For Blondie Biopic. Ok, so its only a rumor, but if both Dunst and Harry want this movie to get made, it should get made.

I’m completely in favor of this movie and in favor of this casting. Dunst could pass for Debbie Harry very easily and whether she sings or lip syncs theres a great story to tell there about Blondie’s rise to fame in the late 70s.

My dream would have this movie be part of a CBGB trilogy with the story of The Talking Heads and The Ramones in the late 70s and early 80s.

A new trilogy of Terminator movies is planned, according to an article by Dark Horizons. The rights to the franchise have moved on to a new company who intends to make new movies without involving James Cameron or Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger. The next movie planned will be written by Terminator 3’s John Brancato and Michael Ferris.

Along with the rights to the Terminator movies go all associated rights to TV, games, chocolate bars and scented soap. That also includes the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series that’s been in the works for some time.

Thanks to xSharonx for the heads up.

As a Powet.tv exclusive we have a rough cut of Terminator 4 after the jump!

Michael Bay has posted hi-resolution stills of eight Transformers from the upcoming movie, and they provide a pretty clear look at what these characters are going to look like when they’re standing still. There isn’t much more to say – or see – here without spoiling yourself with their appearances, but you can see them at his blog or just continue after the jump for mirrors.

A message board post at NeoGAF shows a scan from a Japanese magazine showing screens from a 3D Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy IV, the greatest Final Fantasy game ever made.

Showing a clear resemblance to last year’s Final Fantasy III DS this would be the second DS remake of a Final Fantasy game. This move is puzzling after the recent Gameboy Advance release of the game in December 2005, but not unwelcome.

I found the remake of Final Fantasy III for the DS to be a great adaptation and look forward to this update of the game, whose graphics have been untouched since its original release in 1991. While all 3 of the Nintendo/Famicom Final Fantasy games have had their graphics enhanced in more recent versions, the 3 Super Nintendo/Super Famicom games had not been enhanced in their many ports.

A mirror of the magazine scan can be seen after the jump.
