Japan is 20% of the Market. Since the majority of games NEVER come to America, why do I care what Japan is doing? Even the games that get high praises do not sell well here. Just like our great games do not sell well there either. Outside of the same hardware, Japan and the rest [...]

I don’t see the big deal including Japan. They have tastes in gaming that are opposite of the rest of the world. Good for hardware numbers but many games made for them NEVER come to the US or Europe. I could care less about Japan and what they buy. I also STRONGLY disagree with the [...]

The companies know how many consoles of theirs are connected to the internet. They also know what percentage of “everything you can think of”. All 3 of my consoles are connected to the net with 360 getting the multiplayer love and 360 and PS3 stores getting shopped regularly. Wii is a joke that I may [...]

I am waiting for it to hit the bargain bin. Too many other games I am interested in are out or coming really soon. I may just rent it. Glad to see it sold that well. Sony is probably happy with the sales. hopefully they make a sequel and fix the issues that people had [...]

The funny thing is most of the sims record car sounds and use them for the game. Maybe they mix it down as TVs can’t reproduce bass all that well. Maybe they will include a separate sound selection for people who have good systems. How did prologue sound? Hopefully they can get it right with [...]

I chose dual analog sticks. They have been on a controller in my home for such a long time now. Playing without them seems foreign and they are needed for a bunch of game types, including FPS. This has been one of the largest complaints through the years with the PSP. I would think they [...]

This may be GOTY. They are still holding back multiplayer details that they say are the best info yet. I pre-ordered this through BB so I get the War Horse (the other pre-orders seemed like cheats). I just hopes the game has the polish it needs. If there are no glaring problems I call game [...]

I really wish NO ONE would buy it at that price. If you played MW, you are really only getting 3 new maps. That is $5 a map. Especially after all of the crap that went on with this game. Activision should have GAVE us some maps for free. Kind of a “thank you” for [...]

That was great. For everyone who “isn’t doing it”, it would seem like porn. lol

Not paying $33 a movie when I own all 3 on DVD. I really want to get this set but I am more than happy to wait for the price to drop. Plus they will milk this series with multiple releases with more added each time.

I would be happy if they just recorded a few videos using K. Butler and used them during the press conference. Would break up the monotony of these things. I am hoping one of the big three has a mind blowing presser and the other two don’t disappoint. Really hoping all have good new IPs [...]

I thought this episode was really funny. Try to catch it if you can. Just premiered and should be on this week. Butters has some very funny lines throughout.

I was rather pissed when this was delayed a few weeks. This has been my most anticipated game for a while now. The old west isn’t done often, and usually it is done poorly.

I really want something different and this should be it. Really pumped for an open world old west game.

And this folks is one reason why I gladly pay $40 a year for Live.

Would love to see it on the PS3 as it is a fantastic feature.

I don’t get midnight launches. They are almost always on a Monday Night/Tuesday Early morning. I have had college/work to deal with for the last 15 years or so. If I can wait the months or years leading up to launch day, I can wait until the actual day of the launch and enjoy the [...]

The reports from CES aren’t very good for this or Natal. Move games are being compared to 1st gen Wii games. It is sounding like Move will go through some growing pains with the much improved games coming in 2011. Natal just sounds broken. Developers are having a hard time getting it to work correctly. [...]

Good post Darrin. Agree completely.

I hope it is worth buying but I highly doubt a day one purchase is in my future for this or Natal.

I am curious how the sales will break down. If someone owns a 360 they will not buy a PS3 for this game. I would imagine there is a 20%-30% dual system ownership out there. Just how many 360 owners play FF remains to be seen. They should sell out those copies in the first [...]

Not really excited about this much. Not that I won’t be, but I really want to see a bunch of games before I even think of buying this. If it ends up being slightly better than the Wiimote w/ motion+, I won’t bite. My Wii doesn’t get a whole lot of action and I can [...]

This is the game I am looking forward to the most in the next few months. Really disappointed with the delay but I guess I can wait. Just sucks as Alan Wake comes out the same day and that will have to wait. Nothing worse than 2 out of the 3 games that I am [...]
