QUOTE | "We think the Wii U is the wrong product for consumers."—Analyst Michael Pachter, on why he thinks it's unlikely Nintendo will sell 8.5 million Wii Us between now and March 30 to meet its projections.

I'll second Bass, especially since he can use Treble instead of Rush in any moves that involve him. If I were a betting man, though, my money would be on X.

Social whales? Is that some kind of game developer in-joke?

Monte Cook would make a better Lord of Torment.

It only won because Model M wasn't an option.

There's a difference between difficulty that's satisfying when you overcome it, and Ninja Gaiden-style having a bird swoop out as you try to jump over the bottomless pit. I get the feeling that the WiiU version is the latter.

I thought I was the only one pronouncing it that way.

Dan is what you get when you use the Imitater on Ken.

I was thinking the same thing. The last time they released a Final Fantasy that I actually enjoyed, she probably wasn't old enough to read.

Is one of the games a flight sim where you fly an astral plane?

Almost everything, Sega had the first (and still the best) analog shoulder buttons.

Look at the bright side, now you can shave your head and cosplay as Minsc.

It's certainly effective at directing an incoming blade at your sternum.

In that case, never play Tetris obsessively. Soul-crushing dreams where the blocks keep falling and you can never win.

To be fair, Super Star Wars was not a sequel. It's also arguably one of the best games on this list.

Cool, but when you said "breaks" I was hoping for something more akin to Bobby Tables.

Wow, she's stacked.
