Delayed several times already, particularly in the wake of the closing of original publisher, THQ, South Park: The Stick of Truth has been rescued by Ubisoft and is trying for another planned release date. The long-awaited RPG based on the hit adult cartoon series will certainly be an easy contender for one of the funniest video games of the seventh console generation, while hopefully also being a charming homage to 16-bit RPG convention in its own right!

Available On: PS3
Releasing: March 18th, 2014

Originally planned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Final Fantasy X back in 2011, this is another HD remake like Fable Anniversary that you’d think wouldn’t be so hard to put together. Nonetheless, HD graphics and trophies are coming to both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, two of the best RPG’s on the PS2. They’ll come on the same disc for PS3 gamers, though Vita gamers will need to download Final Fantasy X-2 separately with a pack-in code.
