@Walking Eye!: Not preordering - just picking it up at Kmart. I have $40 in gaming coupons and I'll get another $20 coupon w/ purchase. So get the game for around $24 post tax and then be able to get a future purchase for less. I don't really care about collectible items b/c they are typically poorly made or random…

@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(ColonialMarine): It's from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - a Gainax anime.

@Save me: Nah, leave it. I love the game, but there is no one size fits all game. Why play if you're not having fun?

@icarus212001: Yea, just pick up a weekend New York Times or any art magazine and they have reviews of new shows and work - it is a different review format than for videogames / movies / music / etc. There aren't any scores but there is still a critic expressing an opinion about whether something is good or not.

@Arnheim: PS3 and I didn't notice any framerate issues. It has to be really bad for it to bother me though so it could have been happening but just not enough to vex me.

@icarus212001: Art gets reviewed too.

@bopka: I really enjoyed Enslaved. The ending was a little weak, but the game was really polished and fun.

@sharma55: I'd recommend Bayonetta, BlazBlue, the new Castlevania is pretty good so far, and get Symphony of the Night off of PSN, and Dead Rising 2. Most Japanese games on PC are ports of console versions so I would go w/ console version. Most of the JPN games I play are RPGs though so I don't really have too many…

@vidhagans: I'm starting Castelvania later today and I have the same goal...

@sharma55: What system are you looking for? Also, using Jap has a lot of racist/negative connotation so you either want to go with the full word or the JPN abbreviation.

@Archaotic: While I agree that is bad performance for such a big franchise there is still a good chance the game will perform ok long term - people picking it up as gifts this holiday season etc. The GH series has a pretty big install base. That being said I don't feel that they've really brought anything new to the…

@theotherwhitegirl: Secret of Monkey Island Psychonauts so I'd do Psychonauts first. Actually though play both b/c you'll get stuck on a puzzle in Monkey Island and you can walk away and think about it while you platform.

@Whooped.D.Dew: Ah, I won't say anything else then. It's been a good season. I was worried going in just b/c of how smugly they ended season 3 but they keep the developments coming.

[www.amazon.com] If you've got a Wii and you don't have Little King's Story pick it up now! Its the deal of the day so the price goes back up tomorrow.

@Whooped.D.Dew: Thanks. Also - only a few eps left of Mad Men. I'm kind of amazed at the extent that Roger and Don are letting their personal problems/issues screw up the agency.

@anaki: I'd be excited for another SO. The story in 4 was terrible - thank god they made all cut scenes skip-able and added text summaries instead - but I like the combat system / game mechanics.

@robotecm: Honestly I think you have to manually target an enemy (which is why pausing is nice) or you can set up tactics like attack lowest hp first so they target that enemy. I haven't played the game in a while though so I might be mistaken.

@Whooped.D.Dew: Just that we had discussed additional changes, they were kept apprised of everything each step of the way and they were the ones requesting extra work. I don't think they are trying to stiff me it's just the bureaucratic nature of getting paid by a university. I can't wait till I'm making enough…

@anaki: I have the PS3 version and I beat the game twice so unless I missed some crazy well hidden secret there were no additional characters haha.

@Chronixal: It's being released on PSN on the 12th apparently.
