I think this is that Pikachu Detective game too, as "shocking" relates to Pikachu, who seems to be having a banner year (Japan's FIFA World Cup Mascot, Pikachu Cafe, Pikachu Outbreakchu in Yokohama), and it's only August.

What is this I don't even...

This event is different because there are female Pikachu included in the mix (check their tails); there's even a Pikachu dressed as a Captain on the Nipponmaru.

hmmm...shouldn't the screens be interchanged, with the menu/stat/inventory on the bottom touch screen?

It's actually quite good, despite the faulty AI that makes your 2 companions wander off and do stupid things, like get themselves killed often. The AI in Outbreak: File 2 was slightly better, and I'd often survive each scenario with both of my companions alive.

You are not alone—I loved RE Outbreak and RE Outbreak: File 2; the final scenarios of those two games were brilliant and for me, have not been surpassed by the more recent RE games.

Yup, the pioneers!

sadly, the 3DS is not region-free.

October is still 3 months away—why the long 3-month gap between the European and American release, Nintendo? I want this already. *sobs*

Don't worry, with the Beautiful Town ordinance in effect, your town won't be overgrown with weeds or littered with trash...the only minor problem you might encounter is that most of your neighbors have moved out and have been replaced by new ones.

I liked the Wazer Wifle better when rumors spread that Dogmeat could equip it. When that rumor was debunked, I lost interest.

That is so cool...but was that Pokemon map search event and prize limited to USA residents only?

Miranda? Does Shepard know what you've been up to?

Let's see...if they did this with all 719 Pokemon or probably 721 by the time this comes out, and maybe at about $12 each, the grand total you'll spend if you want to "catch 'em all" will be $8,652. It's time to start saving!

First off, if you watched last night's episode, the victim didn't die; he was able to hide.

Garrus Vakarian, Liara T'Soni, Tali'Zorah, Urdnot Wrex, Mordin Solus - all from the Mass Effect series...and Dogmeat from Fallout 3

As old as Uplink was, Hacker was even older—it was released in 1985 by Activision.

Haunting Ground had something like this—while it doesn't measure your heart rate, it gets more difficult to see and move around when Fiona gets too scared and goes into panic mode in the game.

They should include a "change font size" option, as people who have a 3DS and bad eyesight will have serious eyestrain from reading the game's tiny, tightly-kerned text, and the only recommendation is to buy a 3DS XL, get a magnifying glass, or both.

um, guys? That is such a poor attempt at not revealing her face, as the pixels are so tiny that you can clearly identify her if you just look at the photo from a distance.
