Not only does the staff of Spawn Kill keep readers up-to-date with news and reviews from all facets of video games, we also partake in our fair share of private gaming goodness. While we may not be writing about it, many of us are knee-deep in games both old and new. Now Playing at Spawn Kill is but a glimpse into the staff’s present indulgences. What have you all been playing this week? We’d love to hear all the gory details.

Just this past weekend I headed out to NYAF (New York Anime Fest) at the Javits Center in NYC. I snapped some shots of cosplayers (myself not included here ’cause I’m shy) all around the convention center, supported my local artists by nabbing their artistic swag to plaster on my walls and sat quietly through the masquerade as cosplayers showcased their epic (questionable…) talents. Although it was not a gaming convention, the anime and video game culture are so closely linked that an abundance of video game characters were able to make it to the show. Check out some snapshots of a few video game cosplayers I peeped below! Chrono Cross…!

Square-Enix exploded onto the Nintendo DS scene yesterday with the first Kingdom Hearts title developed solely for the DS, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. 358/2 is possibly the only multiplayer-integrated action role playing game on the portable console, and promises to deliver more of the action that fans of Kingdom Hearts are looking for. Check after the cut for some of the detailed features and screenshots from the game.

Square-Enix remembers their fans outside of Japan less often then we’d like. I just got word that they remembered that we are just as obsessive a bunch as their motherland’s fans. They have announced a set of full-color, intricately detailed PVC figures making their way to Square-Enix’s USA store. Normally I would just glaze over this as a collection of incoming overpriced paperweights to pretty up my desk space, but they are overwhelmingly gorgeous figures of some of their headline characters from Final Fantasy’s Sephiroth, Kingdom Hearts‘ Sora (in his Halloweentown getup!) and even Edward and Alphonse from the hit anime and manga series Fullmetal Alchemist. Hit the jump for screenshots of some of the announced figures to hit the e-shelves of Square-Enix this week! Word on the streets says they might even be affordable, too. So how much do you think these figures are worth?
