I just know that I got a JP PSP and when I play US games on it, I always mess up the buttons. It's a real pain in the ass.

@Sugoi: Which is why it is a good thing now that they have downloadable games for me to collect.

Ok, so if they delete the flags, the italians are happy, and the game ships on time. Win-win. But, if they add in the horse race as a DLC; win-win-win?

I really like the series, but I hope it IS the end. You can only have so many sequels until you destroy the franchise. Just look at Star Wars. I wouldn't mind if they do more spin-offs like Kenzan though.

I was shocked the first time my horse died, but then, I could just whistle for another horse. Or if I had the deed, whistle for the same horse. I think for me, being able to call out for the horse made it so that it is part of you. And the horse is alive, so that gives it character (somewhat).

It looks awesome! That's one pissed off worm.

This guy must be popular with the ladies.

@Chon: I suppose I could just wait for GT6, if I'm still alive....

Well, it's good to plan ahead, and I guess it's better to have the name intact than to have future generations run the studio to the ground.

That horse race sounds interesting. Can they put that in GT5?

@FoolsErrand: FF13 is the first game that made gaming feel like a chore for me. I stopped at around 10 hours in too, and I really don't want to go back.

Do they really have to be trying so hard to revive the 90's SF2 boom? I remember the reason SF2 interested me was that people were gathering around to see two guys fighting each other with hadokens and spinning bird kicks. It was the atmosphere that got me in. Having console version is nice. I like to be able to…

I'm afraid I don't understand why war games have to be based on real conflicts. I mean, it's a blank canvas. You can make anything you want! Or, how about WWI, or the Civil War? The games may not have much of a variety in terms of guns, but I'm sure they would be just as interesting as others. Add in little bits of…

I don't think I could read the news now without the CG anymore. It would just be boring.

I guess that and discounts are the only ways to get people to subscribe to Plus. But for me, I don't mind the wait, and I don't spend that much on online games. So no Plus for me.

@TERROR-HORROR: If Mario only knew that he could get them online...

I'll be playing some more of Sengoku Basara 3. It's been a stressful week and I need to take it out on some peasants.

I wonder if there's an Apple store near by the apartment...

@Jeff Brown: I would say that's the only one that they did alright with. The concept was great, but I just didn't have as much fun as those folks in the ads had playing it. I got that Japanese looking game that kind of track your movement also, but it was kind of a waste of 2 bucks.

@Archaotic: I agree. I was just thinking that with multiple cameras, they may be able to achieve better motion capturing. I think that's what they're doing with the Kinect, right? But you're right. No camera can produce feedback.
