It's worth the money, but like the game, is a little overly glitchy for me. I've gotten as frustrated with that game as I did with FarCry 2.

Jorge, I played Ghostbusters for the 360 with a couple of friends two weeks ago, and was thoroughly unimpressed. If you're a huge fan of the movies, then it's a fun rental experience, but the game feels like a poor Gears of War clone skinned with new characters.

Double Helix, producing shitty trite for EA? Say it ain't so!

The big problem was a European and Japanese release months before a US appearance. Any hype that was created has quickly died in the fast-pace of video game advertising.

Thank you Jorge, for bringing that wonderful gem back up.

I missed the last one, how were the latkas?

But not funny-silly.

And for the older crowd, there's No More Heroes and its coming sequel, Sin and Punishment (a difficult and great Virtual Console title), MadWorld (short, but definitely worth playing), the definitive version of RE4, Bonsai Barber (a fun little game that oozes charm), Tales of Monkey Island (which is a must buy), the

Japan, more than every other country I've ever been to (Canada, France, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Italy, and the UK), seems to be a very insular country. Which makes little sense, seeing as they've had foreigners in the country constantly since the time of the US occupation in the '50s.

Yeah, I've never played a DQ game in part because they've always seemed to be Square's mass produced RPG line to make money for the Final Fantasy game budgets. The only one I've ever regretted missing was DQVIII, which was by all accounts I've heard a great game.

With the Conduit, the control scheme was absolutely perfect, the game itself just wasn't anything you had never played before. But with Nintendo's reluctance to ever publish their own FPS franchise, we may never see the full potential of a Wii shooter.

How is DQIX? The sales in Japan seem to be ridiculously high, so I've become quite intrigued (it also got the Famitsu 40/40, which is a good sign).

And the rumor is the next Zelda will have direct motion control for swordplay, even detecting your hand orientation (righty or southpaw).

The difference is the most apparent so far in Tiger Woods 2010. The swings you pull off in that game are far more elegant now than they ever were before.

FOX, ruining and canceling great programming since 1995.

God, the best form of birth control since the immaculate conception.

I always would get my girlfriend to do the hacking puzzles, because I couldn't stand the damn things.

Exactly. There are markets for both types of games, although I wish developers would realize that. MAG does not need to be $60 if I can only play in online matches.

I love the idea
Of unlockable content based on how many kills the entire community accrues. It's an ingenious way to keep people playing, and I hope becomes a trend in DLC.

And journalism loses
It's greatest hero. Hopefully, this will spark renewed interest in a dying public service, but I have my doubts.
