City's the best part. I'm in City right now. it feels so good to move around with all the switching and it has a good difficulty level.

So I'm actually considering getting Fortune Street. It looked fun on GB's TNT this week.

Someone stop me.

Single player seems fun enough, but I have some friends we usually a game night thing with once a week and this might be something worth adding to the rotation if they're into it. I guess we'll see.

--
I wish I could wear skirts and dresses :( -GMUN

that was meant to be dissuading! I guess if you have people actually willing to roleplay Alena and Torneko it could be, um, alright. then again I haven't watched anything on the game.

I guess I could try the DS one. Maybe there's a translation patch out there.

Looks like Ueda is no longer working at Sony, but is still under contract to finish The Last Guardian. Wonder what ended up happening that caused this. Real shame.

"In a statement received by Gamasutra on Monday, Sony confirmed that while the creator is no longer working as an employee, he is finishing the upcoming The Last Guardian on a contract basis, and is "committed to completing" the project."

Saint's Row 3 is only $30 at Best Buy for an undetermined amount of time.

So tempting but I need to stop buying things.

first party published top 10. why they decided to toot their own horn like that, who knows.

slim pickings for PSN this year, though I guess that's true for xbla as well. xbla still has much better than that though, and it's kinda funny how xbla ports are commanding the most sales. xbla doesn't have the Pixeljunk shmup games though so points to psn for that.

though I have to wonder what 'indie' means there. Ubisoft published Outland so does it not qualify for the first list? I do hope it wasn't outsold by Hamsterball!

--

Probably to show the most games from the most devs as possible.

Surprised there's no Outland, From Dust, or 3rd Strike Online on the third-party list. Need a XBLA list for to see if they showed up there.

No, it doesn't qualify, because it's not "self-published." It's probably the most clear distinction of the various levels of indie games I've seen yet and you're still confused!

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

Self-Published, there we go. I missed that, was thinking it was just third-party published.

I did understand it! it's just a stupid distinction!

I don't really understand the idea of making this(or Xenoblade) exclusive to a certain retailer. Why limit your sales?

Exciting stuff!

They probably struck a deal with Gamestop. Gamestop wants to troll all the jrpg nerds who don't want to shop there and Nintendo wants to do the same. it's clear to me.

LFT is a romhack, not a PSP game!

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Here's something about Microsoft and the new Xbox. Sounds like they're aiming for 2013.

"As Microsoft's Xbox group moves toward launching a successor to the Xbox 360, it will do so without the brand and design leadership of Don Coyner, who has guided that strategy since the console's inception more than a decade ago. Two sources who work for Microsoft say Coyner is no longer leading the design and experience group for Xbox. One of those sources said Coyner was replaced by Emma Williams, who helped guide the just-launched redesign of the Xbox Live interface."

"Williams, Coyner's replacement, will be tasked with guiding the design and brand strategy as the group moves toward launching the next console. The game developer Web site Develop recently pegged the launch of the next console for 2013, something a source on the Xbox team confirmed. Microsoft declined to comment on the timing of the next Xbox."

2013 sounds good

If only I could be as cool as Yoshi

Yep. We can probably expect a whole new set of consoles within that year from 2012-2013. WiiU in Holiday 2012, PS4 and Xbox at some point in 2013.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Man 2013 already, I'm not comfortable with that, still feels like we haven't gotten all the mileage we can out of the PS360.

As someone who just bought a PS3, I really hope that I have at least 2 years before my console is put on the back burner.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

If you just bought your PS3 in 2011, you probably won't be buying your PS4 until 2018/2019 anyway!
