OMG! at the BF3 screens for PC!

The discussion about the old Gameboy games kind of makes me sad.  Gone are the times when I got one new game and concentrated on just that one.   There's too many options these days, which sounds nice, but comes with it's own problems.  I find myself spending precious little time with each game I own now, trying to spread myself out and play as many as I can.   I never had a backlog ten years ago.  Never!  I can remember spending a month straight on Pikmin when it first came out on the cube.  If Pikmin 3 came out today how long wouldI spend on it?  Would I be in too much of a rush to get to the next game?  That's why I don't own Outland or Portal 2 or Crysis 2 for that matter.

I know what you mean. I went to Gamestop last night, and saw about 10 games I wanted to get immediately; most were under $20 too. I could have easily bought two or three of them right there, but I decided against it; I picked up Batman Arkham Asylum only. One-game-per-month is a great notion. It's something I used to do, but I tend to fall into the "The game I'm playing right now is great! But that game over there I don't have yet looks even more awesome! I better get it now before it disappears forever!" trap.

Yeah I can see Gears of War 3 selling 6 million. The multiplayer beta was fantastic and solved pretty much all the problems the games had previously thanks to dedicated servers. I'd love to see them hit 10 million but that's going to be pretty tough for an exclusive game.

I personally can't wait.  We've gotta have some VGP co-op time.

FOR SURE!

This is funny it is from It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia.

SEGA just e-mailed me about their security breach. Of all the companies that have been hacked so far they are the first to contact me (I've got user information with a fair few of them).

For the last 2 years NOA has (with some exceptions) announced a game, and then have it release within 2 months.  Though this year, after E3, they put out their full schedule for the rest of the year.

Do you think that was a kind concession to third-parties?  Like a "heads-up" so a publisher can plan their releases and not get blindsided by a Nintendo game coming out?

I'm hopeful that it was also a message to companies like XSEED, Ignition, NIS and Atlus about what games Nintendo has no intention of publishign, so perhaps they can wrangle deals to bring over games that otherwise wouldn't be released in North America.

That Sonic Generations 3DS story is such crap. Everyone says the 3DS version is a mess. Its just another Sonic Rush clone that they pasted horrible Sonic 4 like mechanics to it. Also the graphics are bad for the 3DS, its just a suped up DS game.
