If I haven't bought a Vita when this gets released, well, it's going to be a good reason to do so.

I've been playing Ys Seven for a few weeks while commuting, but today I've hit one hell of a difficulty spike... The first dragon boss is just ridiculous.

Song is good, but I miss the poppier song structures and vocals from "More! More! More!" and before. "World of Fantasy" was a HUGE disappointment for me. Judging from the song you posted, the new album seems pretty good, but I don't hear that sugary j-pop spark from the earlier albums :-(

"Has Canada ever had a famous game or game maker?"

I'm not usually one to brag (not that anyone will read this at this hour anyway), but I just got the platinum trophy for Rayman Origins. The Land of the Livid Dead was ridiculously hard, and some of those time attack trophies bordered on insane, but I did it, and I felt like such a badass.

2002 - Murray Street by Sonic Youth (listen to Rain on Tin)

Katamari Damacy will always be my number 1.

I got Far Cry 2 for free a few weeks ago (Playstation Plus promotion), and I thought it looked pretty great... But I played for about an hour yesterday and I'm not really getting into it.

Just finished my third platinum today, it was Darksiders. Not too complicated, took me around 20 hours from start to finish!

Good Old Games need to get a hold of this series! I've had trouble making it run on 64-bit Windows :-(

A Pokémon MMORPG. You'd have a whole new region with about a dozen towns, and the town you'd choose as your starting point would be your "faction".

I know! As a matter of fact, I saw a used copy going for 15$ today, I was really tempted... I just might get it tomorrow.

"the Game Boy, by contrast, could go for over ten hours"

Fantastic news everyone! Good People Die, the spiritual 3DS sequel to 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors, is coming to North America in late 2012!

I've always been interested in the Silent Hill series, but only played a few hours of SH2's PC version, thinking "This would be so much better on my TV, with a controller".

Oooooh yes, I loved how the vocals faded in as you approached the fountain, it was a very nice touch. I wish I hadn't sold that game, I should've kept it for the bonus endings :-(

I just checked on eBay, you can find a used copy for a decent price. I'd say $10 and under sounds about right!

"I think it just looks a lot less ridiculous to be gaming on a smartphone in public, since you could be, y'know, texting or reading the New York Times or whatever."

Who remembers this gem of a game?

I love handheld gaming. Portability is nice, but that's not even the biggest factor, actually.
