Very relieved to see this didn't get quietly canceled. With both flavors of XCOM being available, I can't imagine even longtime fans of the series being unhappy about this news.

It's like they shun those of us who don't spend 200 hours learning about hitboxes, buy an expensive joystick, or dedicate an entire 200-hit combo to muscle memory. "How DARE you play for fun?!", they rage.

I can see your point of lesser games getting thrown onto PS+, but it isn't always the case. I have LittleBigPlanet2 and Infamous 2 sitting on my hard drive free of charge right now.

I'm a little disturbed that no one seems to bring up the fact that Team Ninja had zero qualms about putting jiggle physics on a half-naked fourteen-year-old girl in one of their games, and then making a TV commercial focusing entirely on manipulating said fourteen-year-old's breasts. It's like, DUDE.

I just love how the same types of men here who want more megaboobs in their games are probably the same ones who say that sexuality is being "shoved down their throats" if someone so much as suggests there ought to be more gay characters in games.

Kinda off-topic, but I'm a scootch peeved that Sony pulled Final Fantasy III's Vita compatibility after people were able to download the PSP game to their Vita systems for only a precious few hours after launch. Sony keeps shooting itself in the foot when it comes to getting actual software onto their nice hardware.

Hey woah, a human Thane concept sketch!

I wonder what became of that Cerberus squad about halfway through these pictures? The one with the big guns, the personality, and a heavy-set person one rarely sees in the Mass Effect games themselves.

Wow, I've heard good things about the predecessor to Bioshock, but this might be what I need to take the plunge. But, I don't care for WASDing my way into well-crafted sci-fi terror, so I have to ask:

I'm actually very fortunate and still have the 360 I bought back in January 2009 (true story: it arrived in the mail on Pres. Obama's day of inauguration and I watched clips of it after finally succeeding in setting up my LIVE account) whereas my PS3 died on me a few months back. That said, I agree with the article…

There's a pink one?! Just rub it in how we only get red and blue to pick from, why don'tcha!

I want a brown 3DS, because frankly not enough electronic devices are brown. It's as tasteful-looking as black and nowhere near as played out.

Vic Mangina has retroactively ruined Persona 3 for me, and for that I will never forgive him.

The original trilogy had so many female characters, and especially ones with names, that it would be just *silly* to have every female fan dress up as the same one for conventions! OH WAIT.

Didn't see these glasses before I made my first comment. To reiterate/revise, I expect better than this from everyone.

I wouldn't dream of defending either image. Let's not forget that this one example of obvious racist caricature is from America circa 1961, and the obvious racist caricature in the article is from Japan circa 2008.

The music's nice, it has Final Fantasy V's Job system, and Motomu Toriyama hasn't had his nasty-ass hands in it. Been a while since I last saw Square-Enix pull a good hat trick.

You almost lost me when you said the accents in Last Story were corny, but then you won me back with your disapproval of anything relating to Vic McEggnog.

What lonecow12 said.

I have a laptop with an i5 480 2.67Ghz Intel CPU and a 6550M Radeon HD GPU, and it works fine for me so far at 720p with everything turned to medium or high, so long as I remember to turn off Opulent Lighting.
