@Kovitlac: I haven't played it myself, but according to internet murmur, you may want to look at Cross Edge.

@Nameloi: Then you're in luck, because it runs on Windows, FreeBSD, OS X and Linux:

Where in NC is this? We could really use the jobs... Although this sounds like it could just be a huge server farm with two guys doing installs.

@Samakar: Windows 7 won't decrease in price until a new edition comes out. I would get that now, then pick up those games in 6 months to a year when they're all 15 bucks.

@Harrier: Loved the Main Theme/Bob-omb Battlefield part. I'm not sure why you would be hesitant to post this. We all love great things here!

Ranked by me in order of Time Trial Difficulty:

First few minutes: I Absolutely hate everything about this.

I preordered one too, though I'm a bit disappointed. Not in the music. I can tell it's going to be a great record after a few more listens. I had gotten myself pumped for a more Hail To The Thief rock-centric album for no reason at all. Not sure why I bother expecting anything with them, I'm always wrong. That's a…

I completely agree. Although I'm sure some games will use the touchscreen and touchpad for input in a way that a Dualshock can't replicate. Still, I'd love nothing more than to leave my NGP behind the receiver plugged in.

Atelier: Rorona and some video-out Valkyria Chronicles 2. I never leave my house with my PSP, but it still gets plenty of playtime at home. It kills me to play on a tiny device while sitting on my console gaming chair, but I'll pay that price for some great games not available elsewhere.

Can we please stop with the "blatant ripoff" remarks? I wonder how many have actually downloaded and played it. In the iTunes description it clearly says, "Inspired by the old-skool classic 'The Sentinel'...", so yes they are probably aware that the gameplay is reminiscent of The Sentinel.

I greatly appreciate the addition of Performance Points in online races. This is something that should have been stolen from competitors before launch, but I'm thankful to have it now.

That makes sense. Generated user-specific channels threw me. If you can listen to any song/album on demand, this may be well worth admission for those with small music collections. Especially since it will likely be available on most new devices.

I'm a little confused. We can't listen while gaming, so it's basically a paid Pandora or Grooveshark? So if I plug my iPod into the receiver and fire up Pandora, I get all that, plus the ability to listen while gaming?

Wow, the Last Story is already dropping. Famitsu gave it a 10/10/9/9 (not that they are any indication of quality, but Japan still seems to like them for some reason). Granted, it topped the charts when it was released. I just expected a longer sales run.

Done. The shrinkwrap is off, the receipt thrown away. Time for some old-fashioned... oh, I have to work. Curse you, life!

That actual tells a lot. If he hates BlazBlue for the same reasons he dislikes MvC3, it may be a hit for me. Faster and more absurd combos, I say!

That sounds wondersfuls.

Can anyone who has had substantial playtime with MvC3 recommend it based on the fact that I don't like Street Fighter? I love Blazblue and enjoy Guilty Gear, but can't stand the pace and move similarities in Capcom's series.

@vidhagans: Dear gracious, I love every single one of your sleeves. The Chrono Trigger, FFIII, and Megaman are especially incredible. I would consider buying a device just to use such housing.
