@vidhagans: Fair enough, I just meant that action movie where lots of stuff blows up and film where Julia Roberts does whatever she does with that crazy smile which creeps me out are both very different genres than the mash-up of influences that is SP.

@twinturbo2 would like his Kotaku star back: On the one hand, it was going up against those to big releases, but on the other hand I feel like those movies were all targeting very different audiences. The fact that the film was completely marketed wrong doesn't help either. Just from the trailers it seemed like a…

@Tatsuya: Th original then Super Metroid then Metroid Prime Trilogy (just hunt down the trilogy, the GC originals are good, but the re-release has updated controls which make the games so much better). Other M is just ok... but by the time you finish the other games you might as well.

@walls99: And he's looking a little jaundiced...

It's been dubbed a "Kinect clone" in refer to the controller-free Kinect platform that Microsoft is launching.

@Haydorian: If you're not opposed to importing you could do that - most games on the PS3 aren't region locked. Of course it'll limit your blu-ray abilities...

@Eskintoro: The red & silver are pretty nice too. I don't need another controller, but I'm tempted to get a silver one.... if only that stupid sixaxis controller would break.

@allstaraugustine: I'm assuming you're talking about Dante. I wonder if that cosplayer cried when they saw the new DMC trailer?

@jim_error404: Got it, I misunderstood what you were initially saying - and I agree - going back to Arkham Asylum there was no animation indicating that you had failed to execute the move properly. It would have been great if instead of not even attempting to counter and just standing there he fumbled / screwed it…

@jim_error404: Ah, you want the game to give you more of an idea of when you were successful executing a move vs. when you failed?

@RandomFFCid: Yea, the DLC was out of control and way over priced. Fortunately the game was so content heavy to begin with I didn't even feel tempted to pick it up. I think that is going to be the norm for NIS going forward though...

@xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Agreed, and since there really aren't any killer titles that require the move... why bother getting it right away...

@RandomFFCid: I don't mind graphics too much in general, but Disgaea 3 kind of felt like a slap in the face with minimal improvements over 2. Hell, even over 1, haha. If they had released it as a budget title it would have been less irritating...

@jim_error404: the game reads the input, but you are a few frames too early in the animation. result: Batman finishes his current animation, then stands there like an idiot and gets punched in the back of the head

@RandomFFCid: Thank god they finally improved the sprites/graphics. I know Disgaea is all about the gameplay, but 3 got frustrating to look at after 50 hours or so...

@[ZTF]Never Without Eloquence: I'm seeing that game as more of a management sim - you begin passing on the ways of the Yakuza to a new generation deciding what skills to teach them and then sending them out on missions all while building your crime empire! Of course you take them all the way from kindergarten through…

@Robbie Yang: Well then... yikes....

That logo is a mess - it looks like a cross between FF, Sengoku Basara 3 (specifically the 3) and something else...

Is this actually Yakuza 5 or a spin off / non-canonical game?

@the7k: VC2's missions are structured in a way to be good for shorter gaming sessions - it has a much different flow than VC. It's a really solid game.
