"Full-service console"... yeesh. If a game console plays games, it's doing its job.

@Thomas Sommer: Or not.

What has Namco Bandai released recently that I should care about again? Did I miss NSMBW selling about 15 million in the whopping 6 months its been available? Where's the collapse? So, so stupid.

Wait and see for me... the cartoonish style that's in all of Telltale's other episodic games doesn't really seem to fit for either of these franchises.

Anyone with any sense would pay $40 at the most for a year of Live. Preferably $30. I've paid a total of $57 for 25 months.

@Here's Some Weapons: I was hoping that wasn't the "too violent" game... that'd show just how stupid some people really are.

@Sparx: Couldn't agree more. I have a "free after contract" phone and I use it for... making phone calls. And that's about it. I have other devices (PC, Wii, DS, GPS, etc.) that handle the additional functionality that's been shoved into these "smart phones" far better anyway. I don't need gimped access to…

Braid for $2.

Coming from the government, a very unsurprising idea. Hopefully the first and last we hear of it.

So nice of them to throw in a $5 cable. The retailers will be disappointed that they'll be unable to attach a similar cable for $50.

@naikou: If everyone got 242 stars in Galaxy or unlocked everything in MP Trilogy (or even just Corruption), they'd be near the top of this list. They're only done in 10-20 hours as you say on minimal, quick playthroughs.

@Interstella5555: I want to know where Pikmin 2 for the Wii is in North America.

I don't think I'll ever understand what people see in the Halo series. It has some significance for being one of the first big online console FPS games, but beyond that, I just don't get it. The series is already up to about a half dozen games and we're talking about how great a character the protagonist is? I feel…

Texas Pete is inferior.

Kind of silly to say the PSP has any sort of reign since the DS numbers combined have better numbers just about every week, including this one.

Kind of silly to put him on the cover and not have him definitely be playable.

What I don't get (unless it's just Nintendo snubbing / bias) is why the game has relatively few reviews being unquestionably one of the biggest (and likely best) releases of the year.

Just a long history of followers trying to grab attention by associating themselves in some way, any way, with the leader.

@Ironfungus: You can buy them for the Wii.

Surely this guy owns Link to the Past and Super Metroid in some form, right? Otherwise he's a pirate. Nintendo still sells these games.
