Does NewEgg still offer those $10-$12 off pre-orders? I haven't seen a code in a while and I'd like to pre-order Soul Sacrifice @ $29.99.

Awesome game! Played through it again a few years ago on SNES9x on my PSP.

I remember in the PC version, you could pan the screen to see the rooms that weren't normally in view when your character was centered in the screen. Surely the Vita has this feature, no?

Do you have a source to cite for this? Based on custom firmware that's been around since ~March 2012, developers don't have to do anything special for it.

This has been possible almost since the Vita's launch and it's totally ridiculous that Sony hasn't enabled this for all content over Wi-Fi. My only guess is that maybe they think at some point there will be a Vita copy of every game that they can resell folks... but that doesn't hold up because the PS4 will…

Indeed it *looks* the same, but it does not *feel* the same. You may lack an acuteness for design nuance. ;)

Has that "SHOULD YOU PLAY THIS GAME?" bar always been a graphic? It doesn't seem like it. The fonts are killing me. Surely the new site can handle that as html?

The answer to your first and only question is no — I do not trust publishers. I do trust developers and development shops though and like to support the ones that have consistently delivered. Gearbox (Borderlands 2) is tricky though because of DNF and the more recent Colonial Marines, but that wouldn't stop me from…

I really like the new format! Platform grouping = excellent.

Out of those 3 titles, I only ordered Borderlands 2 and I feel that 2K/Gearbox totally delivered on it. I'll continue to pre-order games that I know I'll enjoy from developers I know I can trust.

X-2 has the best combat system in any Final Fantasy... there's nothing to hate.

Super nostalgic screen shot. <3

I'd say over-estimated. I was still playing my SNES in 1996 (Mario RPG!). I never had a Sega Saturn and picked up the PS1 in 1997 or 1998. I just never saw the appeal of the original Tomb Raiders. I only played the reboot because I love Uncharted and wanted to see what another developer could do with a game like it.

I was going to recommend the same... but the copy of X-Com isn't guaranteed yet... they've not even unlocked the tf2 hats yet (97% currently).

Dealzon posted 32gb for $50 earlier in the week. Sold out in like 15 minutes. =X

So damn true. I still play TFT regularly (on useast). I love what heroes and creeps did to the genre.

That's what everyone said about Far Cry 3, but then I got it for $37 during the Steam sale. ;)

C'mon, Turkish Wrestling is totally hetero... here's proof.

Need some DmC deals for PC already! Where are they?

Yes — try expressing your opinion in detail. When you make blanket statements condemning something that a lot of people are interested in or excited about, it's obviously not going to go over well.
