My girl bought me the Black and White Harley Quinn statue for our three-year anniversary, and for my birthday I'm getting Megahouse's Dragon's Crown Amazon.

Yeah, but anything approaching a full-release game is consistently of Japanese make. That's not a bad thing - I love Dragon's Crown and find myself weirdly hyped for Akiba's Trip - but we bought the Vita on the promise of titles like Gravity Rush and Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

Dear Microsoft, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics,

Dustforce (Vita) - super-hard, somewhat inscrutable controls, a game that's not as good as Olli Olli, but oddly enough it's a game I enjoy more than Olli Olli.

That is true - forgot about that.

I always saw the moment in Terminator 2 when he pulls the shotgun from the box of roses.

In previous Hitman games, a lot of the immersion was based around the reality of the world you're in - 47 couldn't carry a long-barrel shotgun under his suit jacket, for example, or a sniper rifle - both had to be carried openly, nonchalantly draped with the stock in the crook of his elbow until he'd whip it up for a

Me too. I didn't like some of the very small areas (one was just an alley), but I appreciated how that design dovetailed in to Contacts mode. That said, everything they've announced here has my inner assassin purring.

I'm completely thrilled by this. They took literally everything I had the least bit of a problem with in Absolution and said "fixed" with this press release :

There are usually save states in Hitman games.

Oh, also, it's insanely good-looking. Like every time I boot it up I'm shocked at what they pulled off on the Vita.

Totally agree. Mercenary is pretty much the first really good FPS on a portable device, and there are no caveats or "but"s to add. It does everything right, and everything it does right is made even better by the words "but on a handheld" at the end.

A teensy bit of Don't Starve, but for the most part I'm pushin' past 180 hours played in Dragon's Crown. I just can't get sick of that game, which is... weird, for me.

This.

"Favorite" or "best"? 'Cause those are two very different games... but Dragon's Crown isn't on the list, so I'll go with The Last of Us. "Best."

The correct answer is Mark of the Ninja.

The Sickle shotgun from Killzone: Shadow Fall - as vital and satisfying a shotgun as a video game ever saw - and the snub-nosed pistol from The Last of Us, for that moment you toss a bottle to the other side of a room, prompting two goons to investigate. You pull up from cover once their backs are turned, aim... the

I'd pay $25 for a Murder of Crows bottle, definitely.

Same.
