@DARTH_TIGRIS: I don't think that's necessarily true. I vastly, vastly prefer sci-fi to westerns, but I think RDR is the obvious choice for game of the year.

I will never forgive Mass Effect 2 for taking out immense sense of adventure from the first title. It's one thing to dumb down the mechanics for average-joe call of duty fans, but did you really have to turn exploring the galaxy into a series of obvious, extremely scripted firefight zones?

@AIGOO: One of the only down-sides to me is the thought that Vanille might make her way back into this game somehow.

@PreachingLlama: It is ridiculous, yes; there is thread-bare logic to it mired in pretension.

@RAMeyer19: I honestly think they need to fire whoever is thinking of all these pretentious, awful names. Not only are they embarassing and contrite, but they serve to muddle the Final Fantasy name even more for the uninitiated.

@soldier148: Who knows if it will have the balls to stay such, but it has repeatedly reinforced it's current PS3 exclusivity with each trailer.

I find that ugly people are definitely the funniest though. If I made a list of the top 10 funniest people I know, almost all of them would be average or below in the looks department. I'm going to attribute it to spending less time growing up worrying about what girls/people thought of them and more time being…

So was he actually using his opponents' moves in these matches or are his moves predetermined rips of other fighters' moves?

Wow, if you follow the link and go to page two, you will see a dog-shit Sailor Moon.

@KennyOO7: What I think you might be missing in this is that for the afore-mentioned games, I am not a potential sale for that game at all, and it's not as though I'm taking something that will harm anyone (stealing from a retailer, for instance.) I buy the ones that are important to me (Peace Walker and Golden Sun,…

I don't do PC gaming, but I pirate all of my DS games, most of my PSP games and all of my music programs and addons.

These look like stickers I could buy for 50 cents at Applebee's.

@The Sentient Meat: I understand the "reasoning" behind the way she acted, I just thought her actions were ridiculously inappropriate and unbelievable for something passing as a human. And the constant sex sounds—always the sex sounds.

@Kitradu: I am surprised to find someone who like Vanille! She actually single-handedly brought the game down a letter grade for me.

In one hand, I have hope that taking FF XIII and making it stray far from the formula a la X-2 could be the thing that actually makes it worth a shit.

@Limality: If it's a competitive price with the 3DS, then it would need a truly kick-ass launch lineup to get my interested. The oft-rumored Unhcharted would be a great start, as that is one of my absolute favorite current-gen games, and a SquareEnix or Metal Gear game wouldn't hurt. The 3DS's (Japanese) lineup don't…

@Comban will Ban you.: If I have the souls of all the things I've killed a la Demon's Souls, then I'd say it's a steal.

@Demonbird: If they could at least match it, I might bite.

I will definitely be buying one, but if $300 is way too much for a 3DS in my opinion, then I am afraid to even ponder the cost of this guy.

This actually has me a little more stoked for the game.
