You had an opportunity to play the game!
Mayra found herself a new vehicle! The Cinderella monster truck!
The new Fantasia game from the makers of Rock Band.
 SEGA has re-imagined their classic Castle of Illusion game for the next generation systems! This is one of my favorite games for the Sega Genesis and I look forward to it on my Playstation 3!
The first Kingdom Hearts game for the Playstation 3 was on hand. This is the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 remix! A great way to introduce the few gamers that haven't experienced Kingdom Hearts yet before Kingdom Hearts 3 makes its debut!
I cannot wait to play this Kingdom Hearts game in full HD and on my PS3!
Sora has never looked better!
The biggest gaming news for me was the long awaited announcement of Kingdom Hearts 3! The first two are two of my favorite games ever! A strange partnership bettwen Disney and Square Enix the makers of the hit Final Fantasy series combined their characters to make a one-of-a-kind video game!

Kingdom Hearts Japanese 10th Anniversary Box

While the game will be released on March 29th, that doesn’t stop Square-Enix from showing off the Limited Edition box set in the familiar silver box tagged with multiple symbols representing the franchise’s characters or groups. The box set will feature three DS games: Kingdom Hearts re:Coded, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and of course Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. So if fans missed out on any of the previous Nintendo DS games, they won’t need to go find the other games. Also in the Limited Edition box is the Nintendo 3DS etched cover and a set of 12 postcards. The 10th Anniversary Box will be released on March 29th for 15,000 yen (almost $200). Dream Drop Distance by itself will retail at 6,090 yen ($75).
While there is still no US release date, some American voice actors have confirmed they have finished recording sessions for the game, meaning that it’s already being worked on Stateside.
