Late Night Consoling

I had quite a vacation...I went to San Francisco (it rained the whole time but was still fun), I got an Xbox and Halo (bundle free's the way to be) and I even got engaged on New Year's Eve. Hope all of you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did!

• PS2.IGN has posted what they call "one big ass trailer movie" from Blood Omen 2 as well as a whole lot of screenshots from Gran Turismo Concept.
• New shots from the finished version of Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2 are up at Core Magazine tonight. On a related note, Core has another story up about a recent public showing of the game in Japan.
• Still more from Core Magazine tonight, as they have posted details on the storyline in Soul Calibur 2.
• GameSpot has new shots and movies from Resident Evil and Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube, as well as an early look at Shayde: Monsters vs. Humans, an upcoming online FPS for the Xbox.
• New details from Final Fantasy XI are up at The GIA, along with lots of new shots from the PS2 RPG Xenosaga, and their look back at the original Metroid.
• Remember the PowerGlove for the NES? Well guess what? It's baaack (actually, the game demos are kinda cool).
• Release dates are out for the Xbox releases for the first quarter of 2002 (good news for Tony Hawk fans - THPS3 will be out soon), and a list of Q1 GameCube titles has been released as well.
• Apparently Sony's considering buying an ISP to expand the PS2's Internet reach. Let's hope they have better luck than Sega...
• A Giants: Citizen Kabuto for PS2 review is up at GameSpot (8.3).
