@greentrace: I'm itching for some FFVIII action like Ashy Larry needs crack on the Chappelle Show... I'm guessing you are in a country where it has already been released. SE, localize faster!!

@Countchokeula: That is the problem with making a sequel to a game that has multiple endings but I don't think calling it an expansion pack is fair because substance wise, there is definitely more content in 2 than the original; if only to quell trade-ins.

Alan Wake (360) - Heavy Rain (PS3), Halo: Reach (360) - God of War (PS3), Fable III (The only game I really want), Splinter Cell Conviction (This exclusivity makes no sense to me, not that I really care), Dead Rising 2 (both systems), Lost Planet 2 (both systems), Crackdown 2 (360) - inFamous (PS3), and new content…

I wish they would just end this friggin generation and come out with a new console so I could stop hating them and get back on the bandwagon. Seriously though, anyone who sticks up for the 360 in a hardware sense is an asshole and I have no desire to motion control my games or I would just go buy a Wii.

@Countchokeula: I enjoy almost everything about Bioshock 2 more except the story and everything that made the first so great. Bioshock was an awesome, original game and its sequel is them saying; hey we can make this even more polished and have fun with some things that we had to leave out of the first. I'm glad they…

@Slagathorian: Microsoft paid more, gaming industry = prostitutes.

@thedoraz: that's lame... I can defend being an Achievement whore in games that you actually enjoy but people like him are the reason why the namesake "whore" is attached to the latter part of that saying.....

Why do all the good MMORPGs only come out for the PC!?... Looks like I'm gonna have to start saving for that damn Alienware "netbook." (RPGs in general for that matter....)

It's not as epic as the original but you have to admit it's pretty good.

@mrpibb79: I guess I would suggest, with my excellent business accumen, from being an elementary school teacher, who is writing a ridiculously long run on sentence, that they should just keep leaching onto the game du jour.

@mrpibb79: They need to stick to the aforementioned niche fight-stick/pad market where quality actually rears its head... lord knows the traditional console controllers they make are crap. That $48.8 million is peanuts compared to the $2 billion GH3 alone made. If I was a shareholder I would never let them live down…

@Shinta: It's legit, the disclaimer is that they are actually 12 month averages.... Makes a little more sense now.

@Shinta: I stand corrected, I actually found the exact source of her data... The government provides her exact project, she stole it all from the BLS.

@Shinta: There are most certainly government statistics, but none that claim to be that detailed. It takes the government 18+ months to crunch data and determine when a recession has occurred and the data on the map seems a little up to date. I will stop myself from divulging into politics though; that's like debating…

@Shinta: So one person single handedly collected unemployment data from all 3,007 counties in America over a span of 35 months? Not to mention she somehow found stats on people without jobs who gave up on finding jobs... That Sir, seems like the definition of Internet baloney. Sorry man, I'm not trying to be mean but…

So what was in the box?... Snakes on a plane, nothing?....

@Shinta: "Check this out. It just takes a minute, and I think it's worth seeing."

I am in major JRPG withdrawal, which would you consider the best available for the PS3 Kotaku? I am so sick of shooting RPGs... Give me giant hair, an oversized sword, a mediocre plot and turn based combat any day (I am actually somewhat serious in that last comment).

@ex_nihilo: It has been dead for awhile, but I vote for the Taco Bell dog... and Charles Barkley, someone should just kill that guy for real.

@R0bster: Interesting list... As a Fallout fan, do you enjoy the series more now that Bethesda is in charge or did you like it when Interplay had it?
