Any thoughts on how legends compares to Origins? Origins is pretty damn incredible (gameplay, music, art, everything!) but I really like the little Viking girl in Legends, lol.

I'm just hoping it isn't just a reskinned DW. I actually dig DW but the whole "tearing through hundreds of enemies this" gets kinda old. Smaller numbers, more challenging individual enemies and I'm so down. The Vita really needs more quality games.

Wooooow. I mean, it's not as if I'm new to encountering uber sexist shit on the internet or anything but that was super uber sexist shit, my man. Maybe try again, you know, without the tsunami of uber sexist/misogynistic shit, hmm?

I don't see why we can't have both. Not everything has to have a message. That said, I think certain games, or rather, their developers, should do their best to be aware of what their games represent regardless of intent e.g. Middle-Eastern people always being presented as terrorists or villains without depth, women…

I'm not the much of a Tomb Raider fan but Lara seems hella out-of-character. Anyone getting the Other M vibe from this? Like hasn't she been through a lot of this already? Is this supposed to be a reboot?

Idol culture is seriously some of the most disgusting shit...

Just because the multiplayer is more fun doesn't make solo play a "hallow" experience. One thing being better doesn't automatically make the option option bad by default. Hikoboshi's statement doesn't prove Toshi's point, it offers an alternative.

That's messed up dude. Also, that's only one game. I don't think any developer *deserves* to go bankrupt stranding large numbers of people without income especially when it's a studio that actually publishes quality games.

But that awesome jam didn't come along till Jet Set Radio Future, lol!

I really like the photo for this article. Dunno why but it made me giggle.

"It's also important to recognize that a lot of the reasoning behind Japanese games looking more appealing is that we only really see the ones that /are/ appealing."

Damn these cases are sexy! I just bought the Vita version and LOVE it. When I get a 3DS XL, I'll be grabbing this too. Expensive as hell for a carrying case but sooooo stylish and functional.

No problem. Thanks for being cool.

Of course. All the more reason to be more specific about it. The vast majority of people with mental illnesses are non-violent and it's unfair and offensive to refer to them and treat them as if they are.

Agreed but not just mentally ill but mentally ill and potentially dangerous. Simply having a mental illness doesn't make one suddenly more prone to violent actions.

Rayman Origins is the best 2D sonic game ever released.

Enslaved was the prettiest but Nier was the best I terms of atmosphere though I get the feeling you have to play the game at least halfway through to really feel it.

I don't agree with your original statement but I do agree with this. I would be hella happy to see Platinum acquire the IP but I would much rather Vigil and Darksiders stay together until the series' completion.

OMFG, DREAMS DO COME TRUE MAYBE?! PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!

But the RROD was hardware not software. Kind of a big difference.
