PS Fanboy Week in Review: 10/22 - 10/28

You did enter our Square Enix Store contest on PSP Fanboy right? Of course, maybe you don't want to win a Chocobo plushie (pictured, above). Or, maybe you really don't want a Cloud figurine. Heck, a free copy of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions probably doesn't float your boat. That's okay!

We have tons of winners this week. Congrats to Lars, Deviation and mondomondoman on winning a Ratchet & Clank fan pack, which includes a limited edition poster, t-shirt and concept art. And now, the news:
