<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://bagogames.com/zone-enders-hd-collection-north-american-release-date/">Zone Of The Enders HD Collection Gets A North American Release Date</a></strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/zone-enders-hd-collection-north-american-release-date/zone-of-the-enders-hd-collection-comic-con-2012-screenshots/" rel="attachment wp-att-25478"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25478" title="Zone Of The Enders screenshot" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/06120958/zone-of-the-enders-hd-collection-comic-con-2012-screenshots.jpg" alt="" width="606" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>Been waiting anxiously for the <em>Zone Of The Enders HD Collection</em> to finally get a release outside of Japan? You and me, both, bub. Fortunately, if you’re North American, you won’t have to wait much longer as <em>ZoE HD</em> is coming to your shores on October 30th for <a href="https://bagogames.com/zone-enders-hd-collection-north-american-release-date/">Xbox 360</a> and PS3! But there’s more! You see, the original <em>Zone Of The Enders</em> came with a demo of the highly anticipated (and, seriously, some of you have no idea just how anticipated it was. It was almost <em>Halo 3</em> levels of anticipation amongst gamers) <em>Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty</em>. This <a href="https://bagogames.com/zone-enders-hd-collection-north-american-release-date/">HD</a> re-release wants to continue that tradition, but this time with a demo of <em>Metal Gear Rising Revengeance</em> bundled inside!</p>

<p>Craving a current gen <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> fix that isn’t stuck on handhelds? Want a refresher on most of the convoluted story that’s occurred so far? Missed out on the series completely first time around? Square-Enix have you covered as an HD Collection of various titles from the <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> series will be hitting the <a href="https://bagogames.com/kingdom-hearts-hd-collection-coming-ps3/">PS3</a> next year? The <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> universe is lengthy and numerous thanks to all of the handheld spin-offs and prequels and interquals and spin-off prequels and spin-off interquals. Well, Square are doing it as a trilogy and giving us HD versions of the original <em>Kingdom Hearts</em>, the Gameboy Advance (and, later, PS2) spin-off <em>Chain Of Memories</em> and the DS spin-off <em>358/2 Days</em></p>

<p>Have you been waiting on <a href="https://bagogames.com/gamestop-breaks-littlebigplanet-vita-street-date/">the edge</a> of your seat to play <em>LittleBigPlanet</em> for the Vita? Can’t wait a second more and just have to have it now? Are you American? Well, you’re in luck as American games retailer <a href="https://bagogames.com/gamestop-breaks-littlebigplanet-vita-street-date/">GameStop</a> have broken the street date for the title and are selling it now. As in, right now. This very second. Two whole weeks before its official release date. How is this possible? Well, according to a Gamestop employee questioned by The Escapist, the game never had a street date to begin with. There wasn’t one in the store computer and this allowed the store to start selling it immediately.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Number 1</h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://bagogames.com/biowares-cofounders-ray-muzyka-greg-zeschuk-retired-games/">Bioware’s Co-Founders Ray Muzyka &; Greg Zeschuk Have Retired From Games</a></strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/biowares-cofounders-ray-muzyka-greg-zeschuk-retired-games/bioware-greg-zeschuk-ray-muzyka/" rel="attachment wp-att-25259"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25259" title="Greg Zeschuk &; Ray Muzyka" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/06122242/bioware-greg-zeschuk-ray-muzyka.jpg" alt="" width="627" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>Earlier this week; Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, co-founders of one of the most important developers in videogames today, Bioware, each posted entries on the Bioware blog announcing both their resignations from Bioware and their retirement from videogames in general. The full blogs can be <a href="https://bagogames.com/biowares-cofounders-ray-muzyka-greg-zeschuk-retired-games/">read</a> <a href="http://blog.bioware.com/2012/09/18/from-ray-muzyka/" target="_blank">here (Ray)</a> and <a href="http://blog.bioware.com/2012/09/18/from-greg-zeschuk/" target="_blank">here (Greg)</a>, but here are some of the cliff notes. Ray’s blog was rather upbeat, all things considered. He noted that his decision was “incredibly difficult… to make” but that he made his decision back in April and that, “at that time I provided six months’ notice to EA, to help enable a solid transition for my teams at BioWare.”</p>
