you bring up a valid question, but i disagree for two reasons:

but your analogy doesn't quite fit; a song on itunes costs .99, but that means your average album could cost around 10-15 bucks. last time i checkec, 15 bucks *is* how much a cd tends to cost at a store. and that's new! so... itunes really DOESN'T have a price advantage, plus it's worse than cd-quality sound, AND you…

it's 10 dollars for quite possibly the best jrpg ever made

seriously! people are so used to "sonic games are bad" that they can't even pay attention anymore. Generations and Racing Transformed are both *incredible* games. Generations was one of my favorite games of 2011 (though not the best... there was a LOT of stiff competition), and Racing is my favorite cart racer ever.…

I haven't played Kokuga yet, but G-REV also contributed to Gradius V, which is fantastic. G-REV is also the *sole* developer of an XBLA game called Strania, which is also very, very good. So I'd say Kokuga is probably great.

Hmmm.... neat concept, but I'd warn anyone interested to first play their previous games before backing. I say this because I think Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World are really shitty, terrible, lazy excuses for role-playing games. Penny Arcade: RSPD Episode 3 was much better, but mostly because of…

That's my favorite game in the series (though I'll admit that DQV is probably a *better* game), but I'd recommend you wait. I really feel like it will come here eventually, and the game is REALLY long so having it portable would be great.

"But I agree that it's not very easy to communicate why asymmetrical gameplay is cool, particularly when you don't quite have that one amazing game—that Wii Sports—to help make the case."

oh, 3D Land isn't a side-scroller! It plays just like Galaxy, except much better. The mechanics are tighter, the level design is incredibly clever and challenging, and it actually has good bosses (a first for the series!). You're thinking of the New Super Mario Bros. games, which aren't great, though they keep getting…

Super Mario 3D Land is the best Mario game since Super Mario Bros. 3. I am not even kidding; it is an incredible game that somehow went totally under the radar of the mainstream game sites (they all gave it like "pretty good" reviews). Also I just got the new Animal Crossing and it is *very* good, perhaps the best in…

oh, don't forget that there is ALSO an HD collection for both PS3 and 360 which includes MGS1, 2, 3, as well as a console port of the PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Actually, if you *really* want to play the series, then you'd want to start with Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, which were made in the late 80s.…

I haven't played the GC version, but fans tend to say it's not very good. Maybe you should get the original PS1 version and try again? If you're *that* bad at the game, I get how it'd be pretty hard to enjoy it; maybe you're somehow thinking about it wrong. It is one of my favorite series, though, so I def vouch for…

No, not really. Here's why:

as many people have said, IV and VI are fantastic FF games (FFVI in particular is the pinnacle of the series in many people's opinions, including my own). here's some more specific advice regarding how to play them, though:

I agree with you about a lot of their writing, but I love the videos. It's weird: I read the article and my brain is like "oh that is very funny and clever" but I'm just not laughing. Love the vids tho.

it's not *timed* exclusive either. it's exclusively on PS4 and no other consoles, and it is *probably* coming out for PS4 first, but if i understand correctly both the PC and PS4 versions are coming out on a "when it's done" basis. So, probably PS4 first, but not because of any particular exclusivity deal.

Xbone all the way. When the word first started catching on, oh, like.... 5 minutes after they announced the official name, I died laughing. It's too perfect. Xbone. And THEN the Call of Doggie showed up! Xbone.

That wasn't nearly as funny as the PS4 one... but I don't really blame them. The conference was so lame that there wasn't even that much to make fun of besides "TV lol."

Binfinite. It's literally the worst game I've played since Metroid: Other M.

here was my strategy:
