I dislike how Call of Duty games tend to attract the players who would have the least issue with shouting anti-gay slurs at every other opposing player. I dislike how Activision makes money hand over fist by catering to this demographic.

How do you clear your Xbox 360's cache?

I guess some pants on a female character would be poison to most Japanese games' sales these days. And the hot variety doesn't count.

That's what I'm worried about. I think, can't say for sure but I THINK, Square-Enix's PSP catalogue is already up on the Japanese PSN. If Tactics was eventually posted a few years after the fact, maybe the others will catch up too.

PSP, because I don't have $120 to shell out for just one game.

But what about games that DON'T already have a PSN version, like Valkyrie Profile and Crisis Core?

So, no more Wii VC games? Ever?

VIDEO NOT FOUND

I'm actually looking forward to the political parts of the game's story, the senior gay scientist and the black government officer who refused to frame MLK as a Red.

Oh, poo. I was perfectly willing to buy it on March 6 along with Mass Effect 3, but if they have to do it to get it better sales and maybe polish up the game a tiny bit more, then it won't be the end of the world.

Virtually every PS One and PS2 game I own was made in Japan, whereas with the HD games of today I only see a handful from Japan on my shelf. Japanese games just have cruddy writing as of late and 100% unbelievable characters as a result.

I think so too. In Japanese games female nudity is almost always found by "sneaking a peek". Its that pervasive sense that the upskirt panty shots are virtually always nonconsensual, as it were, that creeps me out about the whole thing.

Have you ever noticed that not once, in any sort of media, does anyone ever see Lulu's shoes?

Looks like Bioware is finally tackling something set a little more squarely in the modern day instead of a magical past or a sci-fi future.

They're also blonde, some of them. This isn't some fantasy version of Japan where everybody has natural hair every hue of the rainbow. It looks like it is set in North America or Western Europe sometime in the last 70 years, at least in theme.

I guess they had to show Ashley seeing as how she is the ambassador of future women's hairstyles now. Still, I definitely heard Anderson mentioning Alenko, and I'd much rather see and hear him rasping his way into my heart than that racist hardass Ashley.

I remember reading about this in Tips & Tricks years ago! There was some story about a kid getting so far and achieving an impossible score, and when he went to get his camera he let go of the joystick in the up position (a flying game I think?), and when he came back it had restarted. Someone at Activision said they…

Maybe you'll want to skip the first one and save some money by playing the "Genesis" comic DLC instead. The first game had way too many technical hiccups, identical environments, an endless stream of equipment to manage, and combat eventually transforms into throwing technomagic at your enemies in a one by one manner…

Why did no one bother to cover this when it was still out!?

I'm a Jonathan too, and I doubly approve of this post.
