Method Man Raps For Upcoming Titles Featuring Sour Patch Kids

Method Man is known for a lot of things. He's a member of the Wu Tang clan, he loves video games (Def Jam Vendetta: FFNY was awesome), and has a sense of humor (despite we should ignore the "Method and Red" sitcom from years ago).

Final Fantasy XIII-2

This past week was exciting! For those of you who dont know… A three day gaming festival called PAX was held this past weekend. Sounds awesome, right? I for one was extremely excited to see that there was a special appearance at PAX where they showed a new Final Fantasy Xlll-2 trailer!

The trailer featured a few battle scenes and a bit of the storyline here and there. It focused mainly on Serah who didnt really seem to make it into the frontline of all the action in FF Xlll-2, despite being a main character. Now it seems like she will take a more important role in the story.
